Hello everyone!
I'm from Italy, precisely from a town near Venice. English is, of course, not my main language: I hope there aren't too many errors
I've played Pokémon Reborn since Episode 11, but I've been a lurker until yesterday, when I was able to write something in the Reborn Showdown server chat. (As you can see, I'm fairly shy, but it's probably just because it's my first time here).
I began playing Pokémon when I was 10, with Pokémon Platinum (the first time I basically did a Torterra solorun, but then it didn't work out and I had to grind other Pokémon to level 60). The other Pokémon games I have on cartridge are Black 2 and White, because I don't have a 3DS...
As you might already have realized, my favourite official game is Pokémon Platinum, and my favourite generation is the fourth.
My first battle against another player in Pokémon was with one of my friends, who had the Action Replay and used only legendaries like Dialga, Ho-oh, etc.: of course, I lost, but I had my moment of glory, "exhausting" his Deoxys. After that battle, I decided I wanted to try to beat him again without legendaries, and this way I got to know the Competitive Battling. (But I never battled him again...) Then I began to follow Shofu, and I got to know Pokémon Reborn.
In Pokémon Reborn I have a lot of savefiles, but in the longest one I'm only at Spinel Town...
Instead of focusing on Competitive Battling, right now I like to play challenging Pokémon games like Reborn (I'm also trying to do a Pokémon Platinum flying monotype) and finding strategies to overcome battles. This is even more difficult as I don't like grinding and I always try to avoid it. Also, for the same reason, I don't like that much Magikarp: I never used Magikarp in Reborn, even in episode 11 (I still have the game in Episode 11, if I change my opinion).
Also, congratulations to Amethyst and the other coders for creating what is right now my favourite Pokémon Fan-made game.
