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.
Indeed, I fear for the worst this being my first year xD, good luck to you as well, despite what everyone says I still know I have to be at my very best, because I really don't know what to expect from Masters. o.O
haha good memories. I look forward to seeing you and all the others at Philly, hope we don't have to play each other ('cept in Finals that would b neat)
