Hi! just finished E15, needed more Reborn, why not forum?

Hello! :)

First, I must say that I've been participating (timidly, of course) in the On the Hunt forum for a while. But having no avatar, no signature and well, not much time, I think now it's the time to actually introduce myself.

I'm a (mostly) normal guy from Brazil. Yeah, that's it. Now about Reborn.

I started playing around October, because I stumbled into an image of the Pokémon selection room. Eighteen nice Pokemon just waiting for a trainer. Wow.

My first Pokémon game was Ruby, then I played the older gens in an emulator, and finally Platinum, which was the one I played the most. Since then, didn't even finish my first 5th gen run. Partly because of external factors, like my scarce availability of time to play videogames in general, but the thing that made me shrug it off was the easiness aura of the game. Giving away Pansage to counter water-types that would screw my Tepig? Thanks, no. Not to be grumpy, but it just seemed that the game was your assistent, not something you had to actually beat. But I digress.

As I was saying, I found Reborn. Well, looking at the list of obtainable Pokémon, my completionist sense tingled and I decided to give it a go. Then, as I begun to play, the logical twists that the game took (having no money/hunting grounds at the beginning of the game; the gym leader's six pokémon team while I couldn't even raise four; event Pokémon that made a huge difference on my team and that could have easily slipped away), alongside with its plot and some really, really interesting characters, like Cain, Julia (a leader actually being relevant to the plot, and not just staying at the gym) and Fern (he's a crapsack, but a nicely built crapsack), just to say the Peridot Ward ones, got me hooked on to it.

It was the first time ever that a Pokémon game was a real challenge, one that couldn't be solved with brute force and overlevelling, something outside the elemental jokenpo that I was used to. Masochism or not, I like it.

More than a month later, here I am. Crossed Ciel from my list, and I just can't wait for episode 16. Meanwhile, I gave myself a small task: to catch one each of all the available Pokémon families, but this is subject for another topic.

Anyway, I think I'll have a nice time (and hope I can also be useful) among this community :)

Cheers.

Why not indeed?

Welcome to the forums Bigodes, if there's one thing this place has taught me since I first joined it's that Brazilians are some really cool people. If you ever need to ask anything about formatting things here, or the rules, or just general knowledge stuff feel free to shoot me a message. I like to help out.

See you round.

Wow, I didn't expect this many answers, you're all really good at making someone feel welcome :)

It's really nice to know that there are more brazilians in this forum, I'm kind of used to negative reactions about my country in the internet... Not like that would stop stubborn me from telling where I'm from.

And,,, damn, I missed the why not pun.

That is a big goal to catch every pokemon!!!

Still welcome to Reborn! You'll have a great time here.

It's a bit megalomaniac, but... Gotta catch'em all! (that was kind of lame, I'm sorry)
I'm considering that there are around 360 "final stage" Pokémon (didn't actually do the math), including the non-available ones. I'm planning to make a topic about this, but I'm almost halfway through it. It's a fun way to wait for E16.

And thank you all for the warm reception! ^_^
