...Or rather, violently refreshed my inbox every other hour during the past two days, waiting for my confirmation mail. It never came, so I figured I'd try again with an alternate mail address. (Now to figure out who to annoy bother contact about the unactivated account, because shush, I was so excited that the name Ama wasn't taken.) I'm sorry, that's neither a very appropriate, nor informative way of starting my introduction. Or perhaps it is, in the way that it allows you all to measure my exact degree of dumbass. Aaaanyway, where do I start? My name's Amalia, or Ama for short, and I'm a 20-year old dork from NRW, Germany. I'm bigender; she/her or he/him pronouns would be cool, but if you don't know which to pick, feel free to use they/them.
As for what I'm doing with my time: I'm currently unemployed for health-related reasons, but will be applying for university next month because it's my ambition to be a teacher one day (English/Geography). My interests include, but aren't limited to: paleontology, geology, and whatever I can comprehend about space. Also, birds. I love birds a lot, yes yes. Especially hummingbirds. Three guesses as to where my username comes from.
Hobbies are reading, writing, wasting time on the internet, video games, and probably eating food.
My older sister introduced me to Pokémon when I was six years old.
My first game was Blue, and since then I've also played Red, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Emerald, LeafGreen, Diamond, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black, White 2, X, AlphaSapphire, Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, Stadium, GB TCG and Dash.
My favourite types are Flying and Steel, and my favourite Pokémon is Skarmory (hue).
Favourite game so far would be HeartGold, though I can't really tell whether it's for the game itself, or because of my emotional attachment to the Johto region.
I'm not actually active on any other Pokémon-related site, and my experiences with the fandom are mostly limited to communities on other websites I'm on, or friends who play the games.
As such, I've not ventured into the territory of fan-made games until now - Reborn is the first fangame I'm playing.
Blame if on my partner; he's been going on about the game for a while, and eventually I got really curious, so I asked him to link it to me, and well, here I am.
Not that I regret it! I'll confess it right here and now that I absolutely adore this game, and I'm glad I gave it a try.
I haven't finished it yet (just met Terra the other day), mostly because I'm purposely taking my time so I don't have to wait too long for the next episode. I'm that kind of person who dies from impatience over finding out what will happen next.
And oh boy am I curious to see where the plot will go.
If I have to sum up my Reborn experience, let's just put it like this: my unhealthy attachment to fictional characters will ruin my life.
Cain's a bro, I want to adopt Anna, Shelly is precious and must be protected, Simon and Tara exist for the sole purpose of testing my ability to cope with sadness, #SaveAmaria2k15, and ZEL stole my heart or something.
I have also accepted Noctowl as my Lord and Savior.
Something else I'll quickly confess while I'm rambling: I have zero experience with competitive play, I haven't bothered with IVs and EVs until halfway through Reborn, and if there's a corner here for n00bs, I'll be building a nest there.
Other than that, I don't really know what to put here.
So, uh... hi everyone? <3
PS: Seriously, though - about that account that I never got my mail for... I assume that it's gonna be deleted if it doesn't get activated, so I'm not sure if I should contact anyone about it, or just wait a while until the issue solves itself?
I do want the username, but if I have to wait a bit, that's okay.
