Hi all, I've been interested in Pokemon since I heard about the concept and have tried to get into it a few times (I had Sapphire at one point and just found my old copy of Pearl with 3 badges already collected), but I had been allocating most of my gaming time to online PC gaming. However, I recently got married and my wife seemed interested in getting a Wii U so that we could play SMB and Mario Kart together, and while looking at Wii U games I saw the $99 2DS + Pokemon X bundle at Target which proved too good to pass up. I got her a 2DS of her own and a copy of Y too.
I'm enjoying my playthrough of X currently - I'm at the point where I can catch Xerneas and plan to catch a "keeper" this weekend, which should be a lot easier now thanks to a kind Bulbagarden forum member who gave me a Ralts with Synchronize and with the nature I want. I'm hoping to get into some online battling soon and am looking forward to seeing what the remakes of Ruby and sapphire bring to the game. I'm also looking forward to interacting with this community - the wiki has been a wonderful source of information so far and the members here seem very welcoming and helpful. Hopefully I run into some of you soon!
