Hello everyone!
I'm new to this forum (as I'm sure you may have guessed).
The first time I became interested in Pokemon was when I was living in Russia, about ten or so years ago. I knew about the card games, and only very little about the video games. When my family moved to France, I played my first game. It was also then that I first discovered they had an anime series. I didn't exactly watch it regularly, as it came on in the morning, so I only caught episodes mostly from the Orange League Season, a few from one of the Johto Seasons, and a few reruns of the First Season. Then, I moved again, this time to Kenya (where I am presently - for a few months more). During most of my years here, I did not really engage in Pokemon (at least not regularly). I occasionally tried a game, but ended up thinking Pokemon was a sort of weird place with weird things.
That is, until recently.
This past year, my friends had been revisiting Pokemon games and the anime... I initially dismissed it, until I was convinced to dust off my old Game Boy and watch the anime again.
I do not regret doing so.
Most of my focus lies with the anime, I will admit. As part of a nostalgia trip I have been going on recently, I have come to realize just how much I enjoy it, and how much has changed.
Well, before you all fall asleep at my wall of text, I'd like to say that you should not be surprised if I criticize the anime or the Pokemon world. I love them to death, but by God, if something annoys me in the slightest, I will pounce on it!
Anyway, here I am. I hope to engage in constructive, thoughtful, and (dare I say it) friendly discussions.
