Hey FurretFatale, welcome to Smogon! I'm Arcticblast, an official Smogon Mentor and moderator on Pokemon Showdown. Why don't you hop on over to #mentor on SynIRC? Here, you can talk with myself and several other mentors about Pokemon, competitive battling, and the Smogon community in general.
Incidentally, do you remember what your first Pokemon card was? Mine was either Metapod or Bulbasaur. I don't know where the Metapod is, but I still have the Bulbasaur :D
