Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
So, I have a team that has worked decently well for me as of late. I think I might start uploading battle videos of me with it, as well as my old videos. I just wish my laptop could run a DS emulator. Until I can find another way, I'll be recording the videos with my HTC Incredible. http://youtube.com/PellOfTheTundra
I would not be offended if you denied the request
It is just a social group for people to get to know each other and battle
You could just join and be inactive if you want
No problem either way
