Hi, I'm BorealRookidee from Wisconsin, USA. I've posted a bit on here over the past month or so and I suppose it's finally time for an introduction.
Pokemon has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents had been adult fans during the height of Pokemania in the 90s, and while they were not really interested in Pokemon anymore by the time I came around, I found their huge pile of Gen I TCG cards and VHS tapes of Indigo League episodes at a very young age (I'm 19 now for timeframe context). My first main series Pokemon game was a copy of Pokemon Yellow I found sealed in the box in our basement (nobody in our family had any idea how valuable that was at the time). In middle school I finally played my first new Pokemon game, X. Since then I've played every main series release and gone back and played most of the ones I've missed.
I've dabbled in many of the major sub-communities at some point, including attending some TCG tournaments, putting on a theorizer hat for some cringe old posts on obscure social media platforms, played a lot of Pokemon Go, made terrible fanart and fakemon, watched nearly every anime episode, and logged hundreds of hours of Pokemon Showdown when I'm supposed to be doing other things.
I also really like birds, both the real and Pokemon varieties. Feel free to ask me anything about that. My favorite Pokemon are Rowlet, Articuno, and Corviknight.
I've been using Bulbapedia for years and lurked on this forum occasionally too, but only just decided to join. I'm happy there's a community out there who I can nerd out about my favorite franchise with.

I like the nice chill atmosphere here, too. A lot better than some other surviving old-style forums I know of.
