Hello, Sandal that Stinks here!

Hello people, StS here.

I'm not sure how to start this... I used to be an active RBY player back in 2003. I've always loved this first generation of Pokemon, and delving into the world of competitive battling had something magical about it. Of course, attention of many online players gradually drifted away from RBY to the newer generations (especially with Smogon gaining in popularity), so I in turn also lost interest after several attempts at learning the newer-generation-metagames.

Anyway, I'm really glad to find a community that continues cherishing the RBY metagame. I first found this site last year, when I went back to the GFAQs Pokemon Blue board and thought I could rate a team (assuming in my ignorance that the metagame would not have changed since I last played on NetBattle...); hah! What a shock I had to find that there existed an active gathering of RBYers, where new teams and tactics were thought up every day! ;D

To conclude, I hope I can get back into having some fun with fellow Pokemon lovers; I'm sure there's a lot I can learn about the new metagame and shall be joining some of you people on NetBattle Supremacy!

Glad to have you here! You should be able to get plenty of practice with the current tournament running.

Hey there buddy, nice to see you! We'll probably see each other on NBS and/or PO at some point in the future.

[StS]

Thanks to both of you! I was on NB yesterday and today, and was surprised to see how much RBY is being played. Also getting some of the rust off, and I feel like I'm developing a more mature style than I had before.

Still lost to GGFan, though. Lol, even that felt nostalgic. >_>

Now there's a name I seldom see nowadays, StS.

I'm still very much around nowadays - mostly helping with ingame stuff on the GameFAQs forums (as I have been for well over 10 years now...), but as I was never that competitive, I've kind of drifted from here a little, but still swing by for a look once or twice a month.

[StS]

Yay, Gbl! I see you on the Blue board fairly often, but I guess you don't notice me there since I don't post much. =D

[gunbladelad]

No worries. It's always good to see the old-timers making a return. Sadly, many of the others from back then haven't been spotted for a long time.

I remember you guys.
