Default I'm new here.

Hi. I'm a new guy, obviously. I guess it'd be appropriate for me to explain why I'm here.
Way back when pokemon first started, I was pretty darn good at it; I won the majority of the time against my friends. Of course, the inevitable happened: they grew up and their priorities changed. I stuck with it, though, due in part to this adorable little thing: . The other part was the idea of taking these cute little things and making them as powerful as possible. I'd pretty much been content with slaughtering the in-game opponents--until recently when battled Red on my Heart Gold. All of my pokemon were at level 70--half of them not fully evolved--and no full restores, hyper potions, etc to fall back on. I felt pretty proud at that moment, but then I wondered how it would've been different if a human had been behind Red's controls instead of a computer. Since there's no one I can go to in person, I found this place hoping to find some people that would be willing to let me find out of I could even step foot into a competitive battle.

So, that's that. Sorry about writing a novel.

He means users. There were 10 new accounts registered before his, all advertising spammers.

Funny story about that. I had to take a competency test when I took Composition I a few years ago. My teacher said no one ever got higher than an 80% on his or her first try. I got a 94%.

On the contrary: I expect to lose quite frequently, if not constantly. At least, that is, until I can get a grasp for the meta game. I've never battled against someone that has any idea of the underlying mechanics of the game, but I know a battle against someone who knows what they're doing will be nothing less than intense.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't mention who said what in the quotes, but you know who you are. Fail on my part. Would someone be so kind as to either explain to me how to do it properly or direct me to a place I can find out?

Yeah, I don't really focus on the Battle structures, I Play for fun. (My Pokemon are average, but I've got some good ones from WiFi)

What's your Best Pokemon in your Party?

I'm not sure if I should disclose that information. I'd lose the element of surprise, y'know? But I'll say that I'm working on a pachirisu right now. She's showing promise, but I don't think she'd make it in a serious battle.

That was the shortest novel I ever read. Welcome to the forums then.
