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 have you heard of the Team Rocket Corporation (TRC) social group, it's one of the biggist/most active groups on smogen, and is manly were I go on smogon (partly because only resently have I had wi-fi that will work with the ds games) and is a good place to go to when not looking to battle (or if you are). Anyway It is a fun place to go to, and I think you should join.
Are you new? I just joined a couple of days ago. I'm going to bet that you're a fan of Empoleon. Now, I'm a fan of Kecleon, but I know another guy on the forum that likes Piplup. Look up Pippy. I hope you'll be happy here and welcome!
