Hello Pkmn Trainer Zax!
I found Smogon through Showdown about two months after my friend introduced me to the simulator. However, I wasn't active until the end of last year or so. My first game was Emerald, and though I have played every generation after it, I still have to go back and play the first two eventually. I enjoy a few of the side games, too, though I haven't played much of them. However, I do play a lot of Shuffle and Rumble World. My top 5 Pokemon are Bisharp, Lucario, Scizor, Froslass, and Garchomp. You can join in on the OU, UU, and Ubers discussions in the "Compete" section of the forums.
