New guy here!
Fairly old geezer, aged 30, from Norway. I feel pretty old, but lurking on the forum I've seen some pretty mature people, so I can't be the only person above the teenage years, can I?
Started playing Pokémon Blue/Red back in 1999 when one of my brothers got the game as a christmas present. Sat up all that night playing the game on my brother's gameboy, and went out and bought my own gameboy and Pokémon game shortly after. Been a huge fan of the game ever since, but didn't really get into the second or third generation of the game, although I did play them - it just wasn't at the same level as I did with Red/Blue/Yellow and Pokémon Stadium. I'm lucky enough to have three younger brothers who are also into Pokémon, and last year we all got the FireRed/LeafGreen versions and had some awesome fun battles in Pokémon Colosseum.
I've got a Wii and a DS, and I love both to bits. When the new generation of Pokémon games came out, I just had to have one. I'm in Europe, so the games were just released here, but I got mine from the US the day it was released. I'm really addicted now!
I'm preparing for the European release of Battle Revolution, and hoping to get into online battles. I have a certain philosophy on Pokémon, though, and that's to never use legendary Pokémon - don't know why, it just feels wrong for me. I also love a challenge, so 'normal' Pokémon FTW!
Anyway, this looks like a pretty good forum, where we're even allowed to talk like adults
I'm sure I'll like it around here.
Have a good one!
ETA: Just wanted to add that I love the English language, and consider myself to be a spelling nazi. Caveat English language maulers.
