Welcome to smogon crystal was a great game. Sadly due to past events I no longer have a copy of crystal and most of my games. I do however have a copy of Pokemon yellow and it's not a bad game. If you need help or just wanna talk feel free to message me or pm me. Also feel free to pm or message these awesome people TheHoodedGamer, QueBien, Fluke.

Chester pls, yellow is AWESOME ;)

Wouldn't matter if you still had crystal I think. I still have silver, but can't play it anymore because the internal battery died

Hello everyone! The name is Blackdoom900 and I'm 18 years of age. I've been a Pokemon fan ever since generation 2, and I have at one point or another owned every handheld (American released of course) Pokemon game. I'm brand new to the competitive scene of playing Pokemon and am currently running through Pokemon Showdown, trying to further improve my skill. I do hope that I can meet plenty of new and friendly faces around Smogon and if there are any questions feel free to ask!

thanks i'll need to get used to the chat rooms on Showdown, but it shouldn't be to hard.

So, I've decided that I would begin posting some Pokemon Showdown videos on my YouTube channel. If anyone wants to look at my current party in use and give me feedback it would be nice.

Hey Alex0116!
That's about the same as me: I've been a member of Showdown and Smogon for about a month more than a year, I think. What tiers do you like / rooms do you frequent? I myself enjoy OU and 1v1, and I can be found in the Other Metas room when I do get online. Anyway, if you have any questions, we have quite a few options. Take a look at our Simple Questions threads, the Have a Question? Ask it Here! thread, the Help form, or PM one of us (me, chester0334, TheHoodedGamer, or Fluke). I hope you have a great time here!
 
Hello! I actually haven't played Pokémon seriously since Silver on the GBC back in elementary school. I'm nearly 22 now, and I've decided to hop back into the swing of things, as I miss the fun of the games.
Regardless what game I'm playing, my interest tends to gravitate towards competitive scenes; be they FPS, strategy or otherwise. I'd known that Pokémon had a competitive side to it, but I was real curious as to what I was missing.
I honestly haven't got any of the more recent games; I'm torn whether to resume my Pokémon career with ORAS or XY. I hope that sooner or later I'll work up the chops to play at a competitive level. For an aspirant like me, is there a particular game you'd recommend to start with? A lot of the fun of the games back when I was young came from hunting down legendaries, and ORAS sure has a lot of them. Although what would be an advisable plan for one seeking competitive play down the road?

Welcome to Smogon, Aristo! I see you're here for competitive play, so you've come to the right place! I recommend that you start with ORAS, because it's still fresh, That's the metagame that most players are playing in, so it'll be good to catch up with the current events! A good plan for becoming a competitive player is to join th community and be active. Don't forget to ask questions and once you're very knowledgeable, you can also give tips! Chat on the forums here. If you have questions, try the "Simple Questions" threads or the "Have a Question? Ask it Here!" thread. On PS!, visit the tier rooms and Competitive Tutoring for various battle tipes or teambuilding help.
I hope you have a great battling experience with Smogon!

Sup Multi. Sweet content, I'm definitely going to check more, since I like Glazed. A tip, though, is to get rid of that background noise in your audio recordings. A while back I made YouTube content too (not only Pokemon) and I peaked 1000 subscribers. Starting with the basics such as quality is key to good entertainment. Maybe save up for a new microphone, or use a noise reducer.

Anyway, if you have any questions regarding Pokemon or Smogon, feel free to PM me, chester0334, QueBien or TheHoodedGamer about them!

PS: I just HYPERBEAMED the like.

Thanks for the welcome! I think I'll give ORAS a buy, but I was curious about the version. I'm not sure how much it matters, because more hardcore battlers might end up getting them all at some point, but for a starter, is one version of ORAS preferred over the other? I ask in terms of the Pokémon unique to each version - does one roster have more 'competitively viable' uniques than the other?

from what i can tell, neither of the series exclusively have one certain pokemon that should sway every competitive battler to buy that version, so mostly, it boils down to your personal preference. serebii has a page that lists both of the versions' exclusives here.
