Hey There Everyone

[Involuntary Twitch]

Hi, I figured I had better introduce myself.

I'm Involuntary Twitch, although you can just call me Twitch. I've been a fan of Pokemon for basically my entire life and have been a member of many online communities, although I hadn't considered joining Bulbagarden... until now, that is!

Hm, a little about me... I'm a girl from the northeast US, I'm a big nerd who talks a lot, and I like doing pixel art in my free time. I have a special interest in designing Fake Pokemon and creating (and writing about) Pokemon fangames. I also love reading fanfiction and playing the main series Pokemon games as well as its spinoffs. My favorite spin-off series is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon!

Outside of Bulbagarden, I'm @voluntarytwitch on Twitter, oripoke on tumblr, and I maintain a blog on WordPress which can be viewed here. I look forward to being a part of this community!

Also, welcome to the forums. Hi.

If you're going to talk about fangames, I'd advise against that unfortunately - I've been metaphorically slaped across the wrist for doing just that in the past. As for fanfiction, there's the Writer's Workshop, which you may or may not be interested in. Though I feel likeI should mention that the quality of work over here is a little bit above that which you might find on other fanfic-specific sites. #HumbleBrag As for game-related stuff, the Pokémon Video Games section is the main place to go. Pretty self-explanitoy, really. Oh, and Mystery Dungeon is best spin-off.

Anyway, I hope you have a good time here. That is all.

That doesn't make much sense to me. I see fangame talk is prohibited in the rules, but it seems to be grounded on the assumption that all fangames involve distributing illegal content such as ROMs. That's not the case with my game, though. It's a standalone .exe file that doesn't require a base ROM or an emulator to play. It's only copyright infringement in the vaguest sense, because it uses the Pokemon brand name and some of the characters. I prefer to think of it as an elaborate, playable fanfic.

It's understandable that people would have some paranoia about that sort of thing. After all, it wouldn't be any good to have people providing links to and distributing illegal ROMs and such. But this is a different sort of thing entirely, and I'd be happy to discuss it with anyone who has questions.

That aside, thank you for the warm welcome, I appreciate it.

If you have a special interest in designing fake Pokémon, you might want to help us over at the Current Events: Pokémon Sun and Moon section. There's a lot of talk going around about potential Starter designs, the most notable of which is a Grass/Flying owl starter!

With that said, welcome to the forums! I'm most active in the Fun & Games and the aforementioned Current Events: Pokémon Sun and Moon sections if you want to catch me elsewhere. Remember that!
