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 pretty good too. Since I got Wifi I've been mainly getting into more Wifi battles than Shoddy battles. It also gives me the opportunity to thrash my noob friends at school :P. You may think its wrong to use my experience against them but they think they're so good so they neeed someone to beat them down. :)
