I've been using Bulbapedia for a while now but I never realized it had a forum. I know most Pokemon forums are kinda nuts so I was skeptical at first about this one but it seems pretty sane. I'm 19 and my first Pokemon game was Ruby I believe. The next one I played was FireRed and then Emerald. Those were the only ones I ever owned until I just Platinum recently. I must say having only two games to play for years makes Platinum a very difficult and confusing experience. The wiki on this site however has been instrumental in helping me determine which Pokemon are worth catching though as I don't recognize any of them.

I would get some of the other DS Pokemon games but they're much too expensive for me (I'm not paying $40 for a three year old game like HG/SS) and I won't buy them online because I've read about people selling fakes (and people for some reason don't have the cases). I tried watching the anime one day when Black and White was on last year and I found extremely confusing as I haven't watched since the beginning of the Hoenn series. I know there are people who enjoy but I found it utterly ridiculous and downright laughable. I don't want to insult anyone who watches the series as I greatly enjoyed the Johto/Hoenn stuff but it's just that it was the first time I'd seen the series in many, many years. I also just found out there's something called "Competitive Battling" and "Event only Pokemon", neither of which are things I've ever heard of before.

Favorite Gym Leader: Juan (If I were to ever do cosplay, I'd totally cosplay Juan because he's cool)

Runner Up: Flannery

Favorite Pokemon: Magmar (I've been waiting ten years to get one and I finally got one yesterday in Platinum!).

Runner Up: Vaporeon

Favorite Type: I love Ice and Ghost Pokemon quite a bit
 
Hey there, DasManiac, welcome.

The community is pretty great here, I think you will enjoy it. If you'd like to learn more about what you've missed in the games, you can visit Bulbapedia which has a ton of info or the Pokemon Video Games forum.

Ice and Ghost are also favorites of mine, there are just so many cool ones :) anyways have a great time here.

Thank you. Yes, Bulbapedia is a great resource. It's helped me quite a bit so far and I hope I enjoy this site. So far looking around this site seems to be pretty sane.
 
You and me both! It took me until 2010 to realize there was a forum attached to Bulbapedia. xD; But all that matters is that we're here now, right? Welcome! I do agree that HG/SS is expensive for its age.. though it seems like a lot of Pokemon games are like that. :( I was barely able to snatch SoulSilver for $30 for my boyfriend, haha.

Enjoy your time here and see you around!
