Hello !

[Cleobel]

Hello everybody ! I am Cleobel and I am a 17 year old girl (I will turn 18 on February 26, in less than one month). I was born in Italy and I have been living in Belgium since September 2009. I have been playing Pokémon since January 2009 and I have registered on this forum to make new friends and to improve my English. Effectively, I had no English lessons at the high school and I am learning it now at the college. So, I am sorry for the mistakes.
My first Pokémon game is Pokémon Pearl and I began my first Pokémon adventure with Turtwig, but my favorite Pokémon is Chikorita. I have played every Pokémon generation and I have a lot of Pokémon games. I began shiny hunting in 2012 and I am currently searching for shiny Pansear and Panpour at Santalune Forest in Pokémon X and Y (I already have a shiny Pansage). Most of the time, I do full-odds shiny hunting (1/8192 or 1/4096).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them to me. Hope to chat with you soon ! :)

PS : Please feel free to contact me if you want a foreign Pokémon for Masuda method. I have Pokémon games in French and Italian.

Hey, Cleobel, welcome to PXR! Your English rocks and is REALLY good considering you only just starting learning it!

If you came to make friends, you came to the right place. People here are extremely friendly, polite, helpful, and very, very skilled and talented, so whatever your interests are in terms of the Pokemon games or if you like art and writing, there's tons of places for that too.

Thanks for joining us at PXR and if you have any questions about anything going on around here, just ask, we'd be more than happy to help you out. Cheers! :3

Hi, I'm EmeraldSky, resident writing mod.

Do you only play the games, or do you watch the show too? I used to watch the show until the English voices changed--but I'll still watch classic English episodes or a subbed Japanese episode every so often.

If you do watch the show, who is your favorite character?

The best way to learn a language is to watch something in the language you're learning--if you like, I can show you some English Pokemon episodes for you to practice listening.

Hey hey! I'm NobleJanobii, the other resident writing mod!

Your English is very good despite your having just learned it! I started with Pokemon Diamond (well technically the rescue team games but diamond was my first trainer game), so we're in the same vein!

I see you enjoy shiny hunting! We have shiny hunting threads in all the games's respectful sections so definitely post there if you want to inform us of your findings! I know people, including myself, would love the Masuda Method help!

Your favorite pokemon is Chikorita? Did you play Heartgold and SoulSilver then?

Hope to see you around the forum and maybe check out the writing section sometime! We'd love to have you!

Heya! Yeah, your English definitely isn't bad. Like, at all. ;o Welcome! Ah, full-odds shiny hunting. Takes a lot of patience but makes you feel even more AWESOME after you finally find that shiny you're looking for. Glad to see a fellow shiny hunter!

Welcome to PXR!

I wouldn't have been able to tell English wasn't your first language right off that bat- so don't worry! If you ever do need help with it though, I'm sure anyone here would be more than happy to help!

Chikorita was my first Pokemon in a game when I first started playing in Pokemon Silver! It holds a very special place in my heart because of that! ^_^

I hope you enjoy it here!

Hey there, Cleobel! Nice to meet you and great to have you here with us on PXR!

Hey, you English is fantastic! Even if it's not your first language you speak it as if it were! I used to shiny hunt back in X and Y, but haven't really done it since then. It got too tiring for me. So since Sun and Moon I haven't even tried yet. Although, I really Donnelly shiny hunting since I can breed to get good IV sets for them. Being a shiny too at that!

PXR here is a very friendly community. So feel free to ask any one of us a question if you have any, or if you just wanna talk and make a few new friends! PXR here is the perfect place for that!

Ah so your favorite Pokémon is Chikorita? That's cool! Just a quick tip, almost everyone here is using an avatar of their favorite Pokémon ;D

Anyway, once again, welcome to PXR! I hope you find something here you enjoy. If you have any questions at all. Whether it be on the forum or about the language. Feel free to message any one of us and we we be glad to help you out however we can! :)

Thanks everybody for your friendly messages ! :)

EmeraldSky : I have watched some episodes of seasons 1, 3 and 8, but I don't watch the show often.
Jessie, James and Meowth are my favorite characters because they are funny. And you, who is your favorite character ?
Some English Pokémon episodes ? Good idea ! It would be great if you could show me some of them, please. Thank you !

Noblejanobii : Which Pokémon would you like for Masuda method ?
I have played Pokémon Soulsilver and I chose Chikorita as my starter Pokémon. I also have Pokémon Heartgold, but until now, I have only used it to soft reset the Johto starters, not for the adventure. I have found a shiny Cyndaquil and a shiny Totodile, so I plan to hunt Chikorita, but probably not by soft resetting in Heartgold, so I don't find another Cyndaquil or Totodile.

Nice to meet you! For someone learning English as a second language, you're speaking it better than most people who've grown up with the language as their native tongue. I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here, because it's such a friendly and relaxed community. Also, good to know that you picked the best Sinnoh starter in Turtwig. :D

If you ever need me for anything, send me a message and I'll be sure to help out as soon as I can. :)

My favorites are Ash, Misty, Brock, Serena, and Pikachu.

I'll message you with a few of my favorite episodes in English, and reasons why I like them--if you hear something you don't understand or a joke you don't get, I'll try to clarify it for you
