I've been on this site since 2013, but I've never before visited the forums, so I guess that makes me a newbie to the forums. And , well, my position is newbie too I see from my profile. Before now I've only used this site for playing retro pokémon games, which I love. But now I decided to take a look at the forum and see what's going on here.

A little bit about me:
I'm a 20 year old guy from Finland, and I love the old pokemon games. One of my favourite pokemons is Kabutops, and Pokemon yellow was the first ever game I owned. I got it shortly after its release in Europe in summer 2000. In fact I still have a working game boy with pokemon yellow Mario bros games that I had seem to have disappeared somewhere though.

Languages that I speak more or less: Finnish(native), English(advanced/fluent), German(basic level) and Swedish (basic level)

Welcome to the forums~!

Hahah, and yes, my first pokemon game ever is Pokemon Yellow as well and the cartridge is still working (but my old save file has already been corrupted). Kabutops? I rarely find anyone that has Kabutops as their favorite. O:

Welcome to the forums! I hope you have an enjoyable time here and make lots of new friends as time goes on. I, myself, had a Pokemon game as my first game I ever played/owned, but it wasn't Pokemon Yellow. It was actually Pokemon Gold. So, we share similar hobbies, with both of us liking Pokemon games! Again, I hope you have an enjoyable time here at the forums.

Juliet : Heh, yeah. Kabutops. Well, my preference in pokémon is based on somewhat superficial things, like the design of it. Though the stats too affect my choices of pokémon while playing. Also I tend to have a preference for ancient pokémon (especially the ones from the first generation) and fire type Pokémon.

LunarDarkness2 : Thank you!

I'll be looking into the forums more later today.

mikecr : Wow! That's quite a list on the languages! I also enjoy the pokemon series from time to time, but I would not say that it is my absolute favorite. That position is reserved for megaman! Anyways, welcome to vizzed. I'm sure you'll find plenty of pokemon here! (p.s. So far, my favorite is the squirtle! [As well as his evolutions])

FaithFighter : Eh, I don't know about countries where English is the native language, but for Finns speaking 4 languages (including one's native language) isn't really that uncommon, since English and Swedish are taught at school to everybody and many people pick a third foreign language at some point. My mom and my older sister both speak 5 languages

I have to admit though that my Swedish and German are somewhat rusted nowadays.

mikecr : 5!!! You're kidding me! I barely took spanish (and I never wanted to!) I can't believe someone would actually learn 5 languages. Here is the usa, It's pretty impressive if you spoke english all your life and you took another language that you can speak fluently! (Soon it might be impressive if anyone knows english, the way we whites are getting closer and closer to being a minority!)  Anyways, I still think its cool!

FaithFighter : I'd like to point out that they don't speak all of them fluently, and I don't speak Swedish or German fluently. I just know basics. Speaking English fluently is common here, but sadly there are people who just didn't learn their english in school. In the fennoswede areas where speaking Swedish isn't completely useless, speaking Swedish fluently isn't that rare either. Though not nearly as common as speaking English fluently.
Uh, don't all races in USA speak English, not just whites? Except some spanish speakers in the south I guess.

mikecr : Ah!
 I am the same as you, just now today deciding to take a step into the forums, but I have been a member a long time, probably since around back in like.. 2012? Like man, it's been too long since then. But nice to meet you! And I love Pokemon too.

MelloMell : Hello and thank you, and nice to meet you too ^^

mikecr :
Yes, same to you! Just been running around the site trying to figure out what to play haha, since its been a very long time!
