Hiya choktober; welcome to PC! <3 Great to meet you!
So.. tell us about yourself. You seem rather excited to be here, which is a wonderful start, but we certainly want to know more. Our lovely regulars are already itching to know you better so we can all become good friends. I'm sure we have something in common as well, right? 8D; While the forum is huge and has many members we're still one big happy family where people know everyone else. I'll start off by telling you about myself: I'm 22, a big Pokemon fan and have been since I was 7, love electric, ghost, and grass types, and am very excited for Pokemon X & Y. I love to draw and write fanfiction about Pokemon as well as involve myself in communities like these. :) Maybe you see some of yourself in me already? I'll echo the others,
are you excited for the upcoming sixth generation? Seems like a lot of new members come here to discuss these games so it always makes me curious where people stand in that regard. All this news has been making me more and more ecstatic.
But anyways, go check out amazing boards like
Pokemon General if you're looking to discuss the Pokemon world as a whole, or perhaps more casual places like
Pokemon Trivia would appeal to you? You can play Pokemon forum games there with members and it's a very active board that's likely one of the coolest places to make friends. You can look into starting a new game there if the existing ones don't strike your fancy, but of course it'd probably be good to run that by the moderator of that area first. Should be easy, though - our staff are lovely and here to help you! You can also ask forum-related questions in Questions & Feedback, the area AWsquared linked you to, so don't be afraid to make a post there as well. Keep in mind that specific questions unrelated to the forum, like how to play a ROM hack or where to go in a Pokemon game, would belong in the appropriate forum. But if you don't know where to post what, you can just give us a holler in Questions & Feedback.
Enjoy your stay around here and be sure to explore and get your daily dose of foruming in! I'm around to chat with you about whatever anytime, as are our other members. Just find your interest zone and poke around - show off your art/writing if you like, roleplay, chat about Pokemon, discuss music, and other neat things!
