Why and how did you join PC?

[Inspiration]

The title says it all, but if you're too busy to understand the title, I'm asking why AND how you joined PC.

First of all, I joined PC because I loved Pokemon since I was just a... child. Second, I found PC after getting kicked out on some ugly Pokemon forum. Thank God for Google, or I may have never joined the PokeCommunity. :)

What about you? How and why did you join PC?

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

I was looking for ferris wheel shipping stuff on google and then the official PC anime discussion thread or something like that popped up so I joined o3o

 

[Fire Heart]

The member Cold Fusion is the reason I joined. We were at school and she was on the website. I looked at it with her and decided to join my self. I am really glad that I did join and I owe that to her.

 

[Awesome.]

I had no people to trade with online in pokemon D/P/PT so I google pokemon fc's
And I find and entire forum dedicated to trading

 

[Impo]

I transferred from Serebii because the server downtime there was terrible.

Ah, it's been a while since I've told this story! It's not very interesting but I guess that doesn't matter lol

It was early February this year and I was playing through Soul Silver when it occurred to me that perhaps they might remake Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire. So I did a Google search on "Ruby and Sapphire remakes" and Google picked up the RS Speculation thread in Pokemon Gaming Central. So that's how I came across PokeCommunity.

As to why, it was because I wanted to reply to that same thread, and I couldn't because I wasn't a member.Then later that day I decided I'd actually be an active member, and the rest flowed from there.

I joined for ROM Hacking, initially. I played a hack myself and was highly curious about how one could make such a hack, and then came our mutual connector: Google.

the results for rom hacking when I searched led me to two places: a site for the actual tools, and a forum where all kinds of discussions, tutorials and even hack displays were; Pokecommunity. I joined, started getting advice and then moved on to making my first hack. After some time, I proceeded to like Pixel Art more and more and after that, other sections and so on.

 

[Cordelia]

I joined for an awesome Pokemon community which I hadn't been able to find before I got here. I got really into the trading when I did join ^^ I just googled it and PC was one of the first results and I was hooked immediately.

 

[Saryka]

I joined because there was this badass ROM hack called Pokémon ShinyGold that I wanted to download. I left the forum for a little less than a year after I joined because all I wanted was the ROM haha. But I honestly have no clue why I decided to come back or what prompted me to visit this site again.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

I joined because some members of another forum( Bulbagarden) were talking about this place. Some of them were saying they might like to make accounts there so I decided it was worth checking out. Im on a lot of forums, so I thought why not. I looked around for a couple minutes, then made an account. I wasnt very active at first, decided to concentrate on my other forums, but I came back to PC to talk to some friends that were banned elsewhere. This is a pretty nice forum, and the people seem very friendly, so I decided to stick around. I hope Im here for many years.

I originally joined for ROM hacking. I had started playing hacks, and as I Googled certain hacks, I noticed "hacking tools" popping up in the suggestions. So, through my explorations from there, bada-bing bada-boom! PokeCommunity! Eventually, I discovered everything else PokeCommunity has to offer, and now it's one of my favorite sites.

 

[Uecil]

One of the people who use to be my friend, told me to join it because it was cool. So, I like, did and well, I loved Pokemon as well. Then, I joined the forum and another reason I joined was because I didn't feel comfortable at Serebii forums.

 

[TwilightBlade]

This account: I joined PC one month after Diamond/Pearl launched in North America. I didn't like Serebii's trading board so I joined here. I still consider PC's trading board as my e-home.

First account: I joined PC around Fall 2006 or so. Yeah, I guess I was either in a Pokemon craze or forum craze. I lost interest in PC at that time, though. In both instances, I just found PC through Google.

FAN FICTION REPRESENT!

I joined SPPF back in December of 2005 and I joined there for the sole purpose of commenting someone's story. I read a lot of Pokemon fan fiction back then and I liked the selection SPPF had but wanted to see if there were other places I could read some. So I googled "Pokemon fan fiction" and ended up at this lovely site in February of 2006. I didn't like the lack of stories over here but I thought this forum was so much more friendly than SPPF so I stayed here and went over to off-topic discussion which is basically where i've been since :D

I feel so bad for my story. ;__;

I joined initially in March 2009 because I wanted to download ShinyGold (like probably most non-active members join for, lol). I had heard about ShinyGold on Bulbapedia, I believe, so I Googled ShinyGold, found PC, joined and downloaded it and then logged back out. I didn't even touch the site for another year or so before I thought to check for an update on SG. SO I came back and checked, but there was no update, so I logged back out and left the site.

But for some reason, something made me go "Wait. Wait a minute, that's kinda...rude. Join a site, download a game that they offer for free, make an account that no doubt takes up space on the server and database, and I am just gonna ignore it? ...I'm a horrible person. >__>" So I signed back in and decided to be active. ^__^

Ah, well nothing very cool in particular. I just kept noticing these forums a lot whilst searching around and stuff on google. It took me quite a while untill I thought I might as well decide to join. This is actually the first forum I've joined. So, yay for that. xD; Why exactly did I join? Well, honestly just to talk about Pokémon. The hacking section had nothing to do with me joining. xD;

 

[alisaie]

I originally joined because I wanted a place to talk about Pokemon Special, but I had tried Serebii a few times in the past I just never seemed to have connected with the place. So I used google and found this place, then joined. Then the school year started and I stopped coming here throughout said school year, coming back to go back to the fanclub that I was active in, but eventually eased my way over to Other Trivia and stayed there since.

 

[chella182]

Apparently I joined a year and a half ago :laugh: I don't remember why... but here I am! I only just started posting properly quite recently though, like within the last week or two.

 

[Silhouette]

I joined searching for rom hacking tools, because I was just toying around with a new computer my dad gave me.

I'll have nothing to do with roms at all these days, let alone hacking roms. I prefer to own the game rather than download it.

I joined PC basically Cause I love Pokemon, and I wanted to trade some pokemon for some good ones. I think I had an other account, but I totally forgot what name I used, and the password, and it was way back in 2005 - 2006. Then I left for a few years and I re-join as this account and stayed ever since.

I do love going here, this is the only forums that I have the highest posting count that I go to. The other forums I go to I have 1,100 Somewhere I know the place but it got boring fast lmao.
