Helo Rubsomebacononit, I plan on participating in the battling discussions mostly.

Hey Alan, welcome to Smogon! I've only being playing Pokemon back in 2012-2013, but 2000 is quite a long time! It's great to meet someone who is passionate about Pokemon! What's your favourite Pokemon? I really like a lot of Pokemon such as Regice and Grumpig. Tepig is also a really cool Pokemon and was coincidentally my first starter Pokemon (From Pokemon Black 2)

If you need anything, just ask me and I'll be happy to help.

Hey Alan, Welcome to Smogon!
Call me "Cook."
Yes, I agree that silver was a pretty good game.
Plus, if you have any questions about Pokemon or Smogon in general, feel free to ask me or anyone else.
See ya,

Hello and welcome to Smogon AlanT! It's a pleasure to meet you as well. I personally have been playing since Leaf Green. Also, if you need help with anything, you can start a conversation with me, QueBien, Fluke, or Chesty. To start a conversation, you press on the person's name, and press the "Start a Conversation" button. Have a great time on Smogon!
 
Hey everyone! I've been playing pokemon for a while and wanted to get into competitive battling a little bit. I like to do Ou and sometimes monotype.
 
Hello everybody my name is Mitchell. I've been into pokemon since I was a young kid when silver and gold came out. My favorite pokemon game of all time is Ruby version because nearly everything about that game is just so memorable for me and I achieved so much in that game. My favorite pokemon of all time has to be Rayquaza because he's just so darn cool! Ive played pokemon a lot but I haven't played anything after the 3rd generation though. Regardless, I still really like pokemon and look forward to meeting new people here!

Hey there Mitchell! Welcome to Smogon!
Call me "Cook."

I do agree that ruby was a pretty good game, although I preferred sapphire.
And yes, rayquaza is really cool, especially his mega.

I've played Pokemon for a long time up but have not played gen 6.

Welcome to Smogon!

Hey Ronald15!
Welcome to the forums! OU and Monotype are some of my favorite tiers. I'd suggest visiting the OU room in Showdown for a start to help you learn the basics of OU. You can also do the same for Monotype. In addition, both tiers have their own subforums here at Smogon for their competitive discussions. "Watching" the forum and reading past threads can be very helpful for you to get an idea of the metagame. Lastly, join the Battling 101 Program if being taught by tutors is something you might be interested in. If you have any other questions, use the Simple Questions thread, the SQSA threads, or PM me, Chesty, Fluke, or TheHoodedGamer. Also, if you want to chat with other new users, join our IRC chat. Have a great time here!
 
Hi!

I'm Pumped Aaron, and I love muscles!!

I started playing Pokemon ever since it started with Blue Version! I got my first brush of what competitive Battling is around 2005 on Netbattle, which is when I first came up with the username Pumped Aaron. Although Smogon's system would tell you that I joined in 2008, the reality is that I really only started involving myself in the community earlier this year, starting in the Old Gens room on PS. I'm currently working towards mastery in ORAS Triple battles, and I hope to find some more Triples players here. 3rd gen OU players would be nice to find, too =).

If you want to find me, I'm usually in the Battlespot forums, and sometimes in Health & Fitness.

Okay have a nice day!

Hey PumpedAaron!
I'm guessing you like the Machop evolution line? :) A few years ago--five, I think--I started playing Pokemon with Emerald after having watched my friend play it for several months. As soon as I started training my Torchic, I was hooked. I started competitive battling a little more than a year and a half ago, after the same friend who got me started with Emerald introduced me to Showdown. I got involved first with the Community Mentoring room, until that got removed, and I joined the Other Metas community. I now play a lot of Monotype and various Random Battle tiers, but I'm not very active on the main server, unfortunately. It looks like you already know what you're interested in, so I'll just advise you to use this thread or one of the SQSA threads for help if you need it. Enjoy your time here and in Showdown!
 
Hey, I'm Blank and I found out about Smogon just a few days ago. I'd heard the terms OU and RU etc before but I didn't really know how they were made. Turns out it was here. Anyhow, I've played all the games except ORAS, starting from Emerald in '07. I haven't done too much competitive battling cause I was more into the story mode of the game, but I'm trying to get better at that now. As for Pokemon, I kind of like combination steel types, and all of my teams so far have contained a Gardevoir. Its not a weird fetish or anything, when I first played Emerald, my team had like only 3 pokemon and I remember being proud of myself when my Kirlia became a Gardevoir. I also like Anime/Manga.
Lets get along ayyyy

Welcome to Smogon, |Blank|, great to have you here. I've played all the Pokemon games myself just because they're really fun & I also am a huge fan of Gardevoir. If you're looking to get better at competitive battling, lurking around the Competitive Discussion forum is never a bad idea. Another thing I'd like to suggest is heading over to the Battling 101 subforum You can get a tutor for whatever tier you're looking to learn about. The signups are to be posted at 5 PM EST. If you miss them, check out the schedule to see when the next signups will be posted. Finally, if you have any questions about anything Smogon related, head over to the Smogon Simple Questions thread, where we'd be glad to answer any questions you may have. Hope you enjoy it here and hope to see you around !

Hi Smogon,
AggroTheWaffle here, I am almost 15.
My favourite pokemon is Aggron.
I have a PS account using the same name, but I don't use it to ladder, but rather to try teams.
I created this account, so that I can get help with teambuilding and getting BR mons and learning more about competitive stuff as well.
I played these Pokemon games (not including Pokemon Dungeon and Ranger though): FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, Platinum, SoulSilver, HeartGold, Black, White, Y and Omega Ruby.

Welcome to the Smogon family, AggroTheWaffle ! You seem to be a huge Pokemon fan based on how many of the games you play, and that's great ! Aggron is a really cool Pokemon that I also enjoy to see both in-game and in cmpetitive battling. If you need help with Team-building, head over to our Battling 101 sub-forum, where you can also sign up for the Apprentice Program in order to get a Tutor to teach you the ins and outs of competitive Pokemon, among other things. Keep an eye out on the forum for the next round of signups. If you have any problems, head over to the Smogon Simple Questions thread, where we'd be more than glad to help you out. Enjoy your stay here and we hope to see you around !

Cool and thanks for the tips.
 
Hi! I'm Kim BC, same name on PS. I have been on PS for months now but have been too lazy too actually make a Smogon account. The server has been down for a while so decided to go ahead and do this. My favorite Pokemon is Delphox <3, I like the newer Pokemon games, and my favorite tier is RU. I like writing and lately I've been trying to get into photography n_n. I made a Smogon account because a friend suggested it. I hope my time on the forums will be a great one for myself and all of you! c:

Welcome to Smogon, Kim BC, glad to have you here ! Delphox is an extremely cool Pokemon and I love using it when I can. If you're looking to get into RU, a little lurking in the Rarely Used sub-forum can't hurt more notably, the RU Viability Ranking Thread, to see what the best Pokemon in the tier are. If you need any help with anything, head over to the Smogon Simple Questions thread, where we'll be more than glad to answer your questions. Enjoy your stay and we hope to see you around !
 
Well, I don't really know how to introduce myself, but I'll at least try. I guess I can start by saying that I've only started visiting Smogon very recently. Shocking, I know. To be fair, I wasn't even into playing Pokemon competitively until, a year ago or so. So, I think it's safe to say that I hope to be part of this community in the future. I'd share my Friend Codes and such with you guys, but unfortunately my 3DS, my only way of playing DS games, was stolen from me a couple months ago, so that wouldn't be the smartest idea. My 3DS being broken is also why I plan on playing pokemon Showdown pretty often. My favorite Pokemon is Luxray (I really, really like this Pokemon for some reason) and Generation IV will always have a special place in my heart, though I did enjoy every Pokemon game. Alright then, I'm off!
 
Heyo! I'm Brianna! Hit me up, I'm pretty chill. I love Bring me the Horizon and Childish Gambino. I play some hardcore Xbox and will be an expecting Xbox One player. I'm pretty positive Anime and Pizza controls my life also. Message me!
 
Hi everyone! I'm jenjutsu.

English is not my native language, so don't be too harsh with me. Anyway, starting to having interest on strategy in early BW meta, I became an excessive reader of Smogon forums at the beginning of XY, so I have a great knowledge of the metagame (mainly OU and Monotype). Even if I'm not as good at battle, I want to contribute in this forum to share my opinions. Hope you enjoy it!

Btw, my favorite mons' are Tyrantrum, Feraligatr and Zard-X cause they are all freakin' badass DD ;)
 
Hello! I am ronyron, a French player, I played all games up to black then stopped playing games.
I stumble upon here by curiosity and was quickly addicted to the system :p
I have a lots of fun in monotype, balanced hackemon and testing out team.
I play Pokemon I like and do my best to make them viable, I am seeking fun mostly mixed with competitive play
I secretly train in monotype for my maybe future team in Pokemon go as a Psy gym leader(let's have a vision guys ;))

Hey JayGee!
Yeah, I also started playing competitively about a year and a half ago, and only really started getting involved with the Smogon community about a year ago. Are there any particular areas of Smogon you'd like to take a better look at? What about Pokemon interests you the most? If you want to learn and understand more about competitive battling, visit the Competitive Discussion to find the tier(s) you want to get involved in. You can lurk for a while before actively posting, just to make sure you understand how things work. Maybe you like the tournaments. Jump in the Tournaments forum for lots of fun battling! If you're not sure yet, feel free to explore and find areas you like. Have a great time here! :)

Hello Coolnewrapperpants!
Welcome to the site! I like a lot of music, including RATM and Metallica. I like all genres, but I don't listen to country that often. Outside of the Pokemon world, I do play a lot of Xbox, especially Halo, Forza, and recently CoD. I don't watch anime, but I do watch RWBY, which is close, I guess? Anyway, if you have any questions, check out the Smogon Simple Questions thread or SQSA thread for help. You could also PM Chesty, Fluke, TheHoodedGamer, or me if you have questions. Otherwise, enjoy your stay here!

Hi jenjutsu!
Nice to meet you! Don't worry about your English. As long as it's understandable (which it most definitely is), you'll be fine. :) I became involved with Showdown at the time of XY, although I didn't really know about the forums until a while after. However, like you, I enjoy OU and Monotype a lot. I'm not the greatest at either tier, but I find the fun of competitive battling in the learning from mistakes. Visit the Competitive Discussion forum if talking about the metagame sounds appealing to you. If you'd like to learn more about Monotype, InfernapeTropius11 would be happy to help. Use the threads I mentioned above for help, or message me or the friendly users I tagged above. Have fun and I'll see you around!

Welcome ronyron!
How's it going? I started playing Pokemon with Emerald, but the first game that I bought was Y. After playing both Emerald and Y, I went back to the previous generations, save for the first two, which I still haven't played. :( I also was hooked to Showdown after playing it, and almost couldn't stop until I regained control a while later. I like Monotype, and I used to be decent at Balanced Hackmons, but I haven't really played it recently. My favorite Monotype type is Bug, although my favorite type in general is Steel. Anyway, don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have. Have a great day! :)
