Hi everyone!
I'm new here, I started playing RBY on PO a couple of weeks ago and some ppl (I think it was lilith and/or agentsyrup, but not sure) told me about this forum and I'm checking it out.
I played RBY and GSC a veeery long time ago (2002 or something like that?) on netbattle, but I only did it for a short while then gave it up, so I'm not really knowledgeable or anything.
I don't know anything about the newer gens so I'm going to play RBY and GSC while I also try to complete the newer pokemon games and then try to play the new gens. Do you guys only play RBY? I think it should prove fun to play many generations. Or does everyone just stick to one gen?
I've read around the forum and it seems pretty interesting, there's a lot of information and everyone seems friendly, so I signed up and I'll try to join a tournament
Some info about me: I'm from South America (first language: Spanish) and I'm 26 years old (13 in my heart). Nickname comes from Starcraft, one of my favorite games where I usually played the Zerg race.
See you around!

Hola and welcome. We're a pretty friendly bunch as you noted. Some people play multiple generations, but I think most of us have RBY as our "primary" generation. Crystal and Jorgen are two persons who frequently post on here who are skilled in multiple generations though (Crystal is from Spain, by the way), and I'm dabbling a bit myself with GSC. However, we only organize RBY (and RBYPlus, you can read about that in another forum) tournaments on here. I think you're the oldest member bar Gunbladelad, but he doesn't pop in very often. It's fun that people are still finding their way back to the original games, more than 15 years after the initial release.

Hey Swarm glad you could make it here! I am very happy that people like you are interested in RBY; it's amazingly fun and a great way to meet new people on the internet. Also this place is home to RBYPlus, which in my opinion is even greater then original RBY, but unfortunately its been experiencing issues lately. Feel free to read about it though, its really interesting and maybe you can even help us out with the issues concerning it.

Thanks guys! Wow, Am I really that old? I remember being little when I played RBY: I had pokemon stadium on my N64 and a friend lent me a Pokemon Yellow GB cart to play with transfer pack, then we fought each other on Stadium. Those battles seem so basic compared to what you do here! But if you guys played RBY you can't be that young!! meh, anyway. /waves a wooden stick in the air like an old guy complaining
Lilith, I didn't really follow those, but I used to watch the replays to learn those guys strategies. The thing was that some times you had to adapt those strategies to your own speed....I could never play as fast as those Korean guys!
See you around everyone!
