I have multiple reasons, actually. So I'll explain sorta large paragraph form.

Actually all I searched was "Pokemon Forum" and PokeCommunity appeared for me and it seemed the most interesting but, when I joined PokeCommunity, nobody in my family or my circle of friends really liked to talk about Pokemon so I came to talk about that and find other people who liked Pokemon also, because where I live (maybe in many other places as well), nobody really likes Pokemon and if they admit they do they are the "losers". Also at the time, I needed a place to be happy was all I needed, this was because then I was going through some hard times when moving to my next school being a bullied kid and these people weren't going to judge me, they were there to talk to and that was all I needed, Pokemon just happened to be my biggest fandom at the time. Besides, joining a forum sounded a good idea and a Pokemon one should be my first and PokeCommunity took that spot. The people here are friendly and that's why I stayed on compared to others that just didn't hit my heart, the atmosphere and people I talk to has kept me here all this time-even when I become slightly inactive from time to time. Now I'm just here for the talking to the other people, and I barley do that here any more, my MSN suddenly became popular for a while. I think PokeCommunity will be a place I will stick around for a long time to come.
 
I had been a member of sppf for a little over a few months and I was in love with their fanfiction selection, especially shipping fics. So I googled pokemon fanfiction, this site showed up so I decided to check out the stories here. it really wasn't that active though :( so I had to lurk elsewhere, which is cool because that's how I met my friends ha.
 
I was new to forums at the time, I had just joined an anime forum and wanted to be part of a Pokemon one (since at the time, I was obsessed with DPP).

So I did, and im still here :3
 
Strangely enough, a test brought me to PC; yes a test! It all started in class, where the teacher set us an english test and one of the questions included reading and assesing replies on a forum. It gave me then the urge to go home and find a well maintained and constructive forum about my favurite topic Pokemon. I was really excited to find this place since only a select few of my friends take an intrest in pokemon and they don't hang around with me as much as they used to.

So yeah basically, it was all the test's fault.
 
A friend asked me to join. A lot. Took me a week or so before I finally did it. Then she made a new account not five days after I made this... and never told me. The dates could be wrong though. My memory is not good on that aspect.
 
It has been years since I have been to a Pokemon Forum (and a forum in general) and I was completely obsessed with Pokemon Special at the time. Sooo, I googled Pokemon Forums up, and I found this one forum. However, later on my friend then came by and told me about this place, and after googling up Pokemon Forums again, I saw PokeCommunity, clicked it, noticed it had a Pokemon Special skin (Forever Standing) and I joined. Stopped coming here after a while though for a few months, and for who remembers what I eventually came back and I've pretty much been here since.

So uh... wanting to talk about Pokemon Special is what initially got me to join PokeCommunity in the first place, yeah.
 
Yeah, yeah, I joined for dem hax, and technically, for a year, that's all I did. Sign up, download a hack, and sign out, and forget about the site as a whole.

Then, in May, I decided to see if ShinyGold had been updated, and it hadn't been (now I know why...XD) so I signed back out, almost without a thought. But then it hit me; I created an account here for no reason other than downloading a hack. What was I contributing to this community? Nothing. I felt guilty, and decided to actually post something.

And hoo-boy, am I glad I did. XD This place is awesome. ^__^ Thank goodness for feelings of guilt! :D
 
I joined Pokecommunity just so I could talk about Pokemon in some way. Pokemon is something I completely keep to myself about playing so I obviously couldn't talk to any of my friends about it. After a Google search of "Pokemon forum" I landed at Serebii first where I made an account. I then clicked on Pokecommunity and thought the layout looked a lot better so I left Serebii within a 20 minute period and joined on the same day here.

I still do post in Pokemon General to get out all my Pokemon discussion needs, but I've also drifted into a lot of the off topic areas also.
 
Uh, hot boys. :'D

Saw my brother on the computer, on here I believe, looking at a picture of DarkAzelf, little creeper. Said he was hot. Three months or so later started talking on Shoddy Battle, joined here, never looked back :3
