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've been out of competitive battling for around a year now, and I haven't touched a Pokemon game for 10 months. I'm really bad at battling too, and I don't care about competitive value, but rather playing with my favourite Pokemon :P
