Hello! I'm Elie. I've just started highschool, but I've been playing pokemon since I was around 6 years old. Only now do I want to start playing competitively, though. I started going on smogon to look at strategies about a year ago, and decided it was probably time to make an account. And as a bonus: my favorite pokemon is Banette (unfortunately not the greatest pokemon competitively :[ )

Hey Elie!
Welcome to the site! I've been playing competitively since just about a year ago. I joined the franchise in general a couple of years ago, though. If you have any questions, check out the SQSA threads or Have a Question? Ask it Here! thread. You can also try our Help form. My favorite Pokemon is Bisharp. Have a great time out here!
Hey, I am irtehmrepic, and I joined Smogon to improve my skills. I play ORAS UU, and I like to have fun. I want to be a part of the UU community.
Yo irtehmrepic, welcome to Smogon. I'm also into ORAS UU, so I guess we can definitely battle sometime. Smogon is definitely the right place if you want to be a part of the Pokémon competitive scene. If you have any specific questions, check out the Have a Question? Ask it here! thread, or feel free to message me. We could even arrange a battle or two :)
Enjoy!
Hey guys, I'm Laura, I'm 24 and been playing since the beginning. Still have my pikachu gameboy laying around somewhere. I've been playing competitively since XY since 3DS was the only console compatible with my wifi at home. I joined the site today, after using smogon movesets as the initial starting point for my competitive teams I decided it was time to start posting RMT's to get some tips for improvement.
Hey lauwa!
Nice to meet you! My first game was Emerald, but I never owned a copy myself. :'( I've been playing competitively since XY, too! I got AS when it released, but still haven't finished it. Anyway, have fun around here!
Hey guys, i just realized that i've not introduced myself yet so i'm right about to do it now! My name is Rosario ( kinda sucks damnit >.> ) and im 22 ys old, from Italy. I started to play competitive Pokèmon in March 2013 thanks to some of my high school mates Who made me know stuff about PO and various simulators. I've been inactive for pretty much one year or so cause i got some irl problems concerning family and university but im back way way stronger than before ( hahaha lmafo that was stupid xD ) and ill try to do my best to improve my skills and know as many people as i can to enjoy even more!
Hey Zephiros!
Nice to meet ya! I started around March 2014, and have improved a lot since I started. Showdown's helped me a lot that way. We have a lot of different forums where you can get involved; find some you like and join in (once you know your stuff)! Have fun!
Hi, I'm Shadow. I just wanted to have fun battling with friends on Pokemon Showdown and not having to constantly EV train new teams. I am still trying to figure out how to get a hold of a particular user for battle.
Hello, I'm a YouTuber that's been thinking about doing pokemon videos for awhile but has never had the chance. I'm still kind of new to competitive battling and am now learning a lot of things. Like how frail my team is in actuality. So I would like some help if possible. If you would like I could port a link to my channel.
Hey ShadowCipher!
Welcome to Smogon! I'm still a semi-casual player, but I've improved since I found Showdown. As for finding a specific user for a battle, use /user [their name] to first check if they are online. If not, a message saying OFFLINE will appear; if they are, you can choose to challenge or chat with them. Have fun on the site!
Hello BlazikenFTW77!
There are lots of Smogonites who contribute to the site using media like YouTube who you can talk to if you'd like to get involved. I'm still learning (I'm very, very far from being great at it) even though I started about a year ago. You can visit the RMT forum to post your team and get it rated if you want. Have a good time here!
Hey! I haven't been a part of competitive battling for a long time, the last time I played was Gen 4 and I really want to get back into battling. I realise the meta is much more in depth than it used to be (with Mega pokémon, etcetera), so it's going to be difficult to adapt, but hopefully i'll be able to complete to a pretty good level again. Just thought i'd say hi because I plan on sticking around for a while and hopefully understanding this new meta. Thank you
Hi Im Evan and I'm 19 years old and I like Pokemon. I got into pokemon and stared with Pearl virson. I feel in love with it and I've been loving every single part of it. When I got competive in gen 6 (Y was what I played) I started with some annoying Pokemon like umbreon and starated to get a good laugh. Then I stared getting physicals with my starter chesnaught ( I'm bad at spelling so bare with me). So yeah I love pokemon and I live in the U.S.A.
Also pearl made me love infernape.
Also pearl made me love infernape.
I already have 3 teams ready and one of them is infernape. lol
I'm just a guy who loves Pokemon. Some of my friends refer to me as "A Walking Pokedex." I hope to get into the ASB scene!
Hello, my name is Alexander (call me Clawshock) and I've been playing Pokemon for about 2 years now, and just found out about smogon recently (by recently I mean 3 monthish, but I onky knew about the battle simulator so that's why it says how long I've been a member) im not the best team builder, but for the most part I just like playing and seeing other teams and using what I see in them in my teams. My first game was soulsilver, but I lost it and im stuck with black 1. (Not black 2, I don't get a kyurem form) and it's quite boring. But when I found out about smogon, I was like;"OMG! This is amazing!" I am still a little bit bad at competitive battling, but hey! I can still have fun. im usally hanging out in balanced hackmons, ubers, and random team. I do a little OU, but im still a noob in that tier. My favorite pokemon have to be feraligater, lugia, raikou, hydreigon, reshiram, volcarona, kyurem, and yveltal.
Hey mahcoh!
Welcome to the site! Visit the Neverused room in Showdown to get involved with the NU community. You can also join in on the discussions here at Smogon if you'd like. I'm not sure about trophy points; ask away in the Questions threads to get an answer. Have fun!
Hi Radical Lewis!
I'm a guy who loves Pokemon, too. I haven't got everything memorized and all that, but I know enough about the different Pokemon. Have a great time here!
Hello Clawshock50!
Nice to meet you! I've been playing casually for a few years, but competitively for about a year. I found this account a few months ago, and after dusting it off a little, started to get involved. I'm not too bad at competitive but I'm decent, I guess. I usually play BH, OU, and a bunch of other tiers; I hang out in the Other Metas room. My favorite Pokemon are Bisharp, Lucario, and Scizor. Have fun here at Smogon and I'll see you around!
Hi radical.fruit!
My first game was Emerald, but the first game I owned was Y. If you find you have trouble with something, check out the Help form or sign up for the Battling 101 program to improve your competitive skills. Have a great time!
Hey Shinobai!
Nice to meet ya! I've had some success with AG, too, and 1v1 was the first tier I've actually tried to maintain a spot on the lower ladder. I'm more likely to just chill in the OM room and chat than battle. If you have any questions, visit the Questions threads. Have fun!
Hey guys, I am Sky that is from another pokemon "shit" Community. It's really crap there. Sorry for the offensive language but it is.
I kinda have interest in this website since it's so popular with its community.
If you mind to do a favor for me. Diss on PerfectPokemon which is a crap community.
Thank you.
I've played since Pokemon Emerald.
