*Taps Mic* Hello? Is this thing on?

[1709mart]

Greetings! (Great start, that'll really draw them in.)

I'm 1709mart, I'm a university student studying journalism, a huge movie buff, comic book nerd, gamer, and most of all, Pokemon fan. To give a brief history of my connection with the franchise, when I was about 4, I asked my brother if I could borrow his Gameboy. I, at that point, have never even played a videogame but watched my brother and his friends in awe as they played our Gamecube, so I was eager to start but thought I should start small. So I picked up his Gameboy Color, and the first thing that filled the screen after the classic Nintendo logo, was a yellow creature, running around, surfing, even flying. It was Pokemon Yellow, my first game I ever played, and ever since that day started Pokemon as being my favorite game series of all time.

Now that all that boring stuff out of the way I'll just talk about how I found this place. Around 2012 I joined another Pokemon Forum, which has been inactive for quite some time now. So I decided to go searching and I remember some folks speaking about a site called crossroads, and that's when I started my quest. I mean it was a short quest, I just had to use google search and here I am, ready to dive on into this great wide world of Pokemon again.

I'm really into writing stories and creating roleplays, so you'll probably find me there, as well as starting blogs for movie reviews, and comic book reviews. I hope to meet a whole wide group of people here and am eager to see what this community has to offer

Hey @1709mart! Welcome to PXR! That's awesome you like writing and RPing, looking forward to seeing you around those sections. :) You should post some stories!

That's really cool you started playing so young! I started playing when I was 9 and my little brother was 4 at the time. He used to take my Gameboy and start a new game with a trainer called AAAAAAAAAAAA and somehow save over my game. XD I think it happened 3 or 4 times. Hopefully you did better than him haha.

What are your favourite Pokemon? :)

Welcome to Crossroads, I'm sure you'll fit in fine here! Everyone's lovely and it's a really nice, relaxed community. My memory is really bad, so if I'm wrong then let me know, but are you from PokéStadium? I remember your username. I migrated here from PS a few years ago and everyone game me such a warm welcome, and we'll be sure to do the same for you. :D

Also, are Batman and The Flash your favourite comic book characters? Just taking a guess based off your profile picture. :3

[1709mart]

Thank you all so much for the warm welcomes! I can already tell that this is a very open community. To answer just some of the questions I've seen:

1. My favorite Pokemon of all time is without a doubt Decidueye. I love grass types, owls, and archery, so it's like Decidueye was made for me.

2. Yes, I am from PokeStadium! I had a lot of fun on that site, and ever since its been down, I've felt like I've been missing something. So I remember people mentioning this site so I came on over.

3. And lastly, yes, I ADORE Batman and The Flash. That particular image was from this summer's "The Button" crossover where Batman and Flash study the button from Watchmen. One of the most entertaining reads I've had in a while so I highly recommend it.

Welcome to PXR, friend! :D It's great to see a new face. If you want to share any of your writing or roleplay, go ahead! :D

I also love Decidueye. :3 One of my favourite Alolan pokemon for sure.

Welcome to PXR, 1709mart! Hope you enjoy it here at PXR! If you have any question or need help. Feel free to ask away! We're always here for help or if you just wanna talk.

I'm not one that likes comic books, but I love anime/manga, games, and movies!

Very interesting story as how it all started though! I loved Pokémon Yellow! And if it was obvious enough with my avatar and signature, Pikachu is still my favorite today xD.
