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.
Hi there! :] We are matched up for the NU Farm league. I'm always active on PS and IRC if you need to contact me, and I hope we can have a nice game soon!
I personally prefer drawing shapes and avoid default shapes unless I'm doing circles / ovals etc. There are more advanced stuff too but you should be able to figure them out with some exploration.
