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.
i enjoyed it a lot and got a decent chunk of the content you can get from a neutral run (i only killed random "wild" monsters for the most part, found easter eggs like the piano+doge, etc). depends on what your definition of ridiculous is, i suppose ;]
