I don't exactly remember. I joined originally when I was like 10 with a different account in order to trade. I was super embarrassing and can't even look back on my old posts anymore without cringing lol (I think I was able to link this account to this one through some major digging when I was a mod so the connection's still out there... mods pls don't leak it's my dark past @_@)
This was back when RNG wasn't super widely done yet, so IVs/natures didn't really matter to the masses and shininess was what people really wanted. I remember the first thing I ever traded was a clone of my Ranger Manaphy, but I don't exactly remember what I traded it for haha. I was around for a while and slowly IVs became more important (Elhero if you're still around you were my 10 yr old self's trading idol lol) but I think I stopped coming around on that account before Gen 5 was announced.
I came back on this account when I wanted to join another Pokemon forum, and I guess this one was always at the back of my head. I originally went on the battle server, talked for Ho-Oh for like five hours, then kept coming back.
