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.
That could work... quick, go to Firebot right now, get one post, and then make your thread (Firebot's a great place to postcount ++ when you need to :P)
Haha. I realy only do it to piss people off, though I have read the books; they were alright, but not amazing--not something to get all fanboy over. Lol.
In response to: "You're a chick now? That makes what, 4, on smogon?"
I am definitely a dude, though I could see why you might come to that conclusion. =P
