Finally had time to read through the site. Didn't realize I was supposed to introduce myself. *cringes*
Hmmm where to start. I have played Pokemon since the original games. I was instantly hooked. I had a Gameboy, and a friend of my parents bought this game I had never heard of, it was called Pokemon. It was bought because we were going to Florida and we had a long plane ride to Orlando. I guess you can figure where we were going on Vacation. My parents friend, had a daughter who was a 2 years younger than me. LOL no it isn't a love story. She just looked at me and said... "Red or Blue?" Even though blue was my favorite color, I said red because of that cool looking Dragon thing on the front.
I happened to pick Charmander as my first companion. I played it to completion but did not capture all the pokemon.
I picked up Yellow because by that time I had watched the show and wanted a Pikachu, something I never got in the first game. I went through a weird phase in High School where I didn't want people to know I liked Pokemon. I convinced myself I didn't so Pokemon then didn't exist for me until my 3rd year of College. I got a room mate who had Pokemon Diamond, and I loved watching him play it, he was really good and he showed me so much about the game. He showed me a whole new way to play that was advanced and had math skills and strategy and holy crap that looked cool. I too picked up Diamond and my other friend from HS picked up Pearl. He didn't play for long he didn't like it still, but me... I was hooked. I have been ever since. I haven't missed a game. I would like to go back and play the games I missed but I just haven't. Shame on me I guess. I feel I have time though.
On to present day. I saw Jwittz and he was talking about fan made games and even though I was on the internet I didn't really put the two together that people out there were awesome enough to make their own games. I can't remember where exactly I saw Pokemon Reborn, but it was definitely on a list like that one. I thought man dark, more adult themed, pokemon are not as easy to get. HMM Anyway, to wrap it up... I'm here!
I play on a Mac via wine. Even though the game has problems on wine, and has some bugs I love to try to figure out how to make it run smoother on my cpu.
Let me say I love this game! I have my third badge and I've never played a pokemon game that seriously... kicks my butt so often. I'm like afraid to grind ha. I hope I can get to know some people on here and I'd love to help out if there is room for a mac user. Thanks for reading this if you did.
