If I had the money, I'd totally hire someone to throw confetti and roll out a red carpet as i arrived.  But I'mm broke and I've sold my soul to Nintendo, so I don't have that kind of luck. 
Anyway.... where to begin?  So obviously I'm a Pokemon fan, or else I wouldn't be here.  I'm a brony as well... if my uernsmame didn't make that obvious,,,, and I do hope that's not going to be a problem.   why not TI'm currently going to college, and I live in the northeastern United states.  That should take care of formalities.  If it doesn't... oh well. 
So yeah... I kind of stumbled upon this place by chance.  The full story is (hopefully I'm not advertising by saying this!) is a bunch of us in a Pokebeach Skype chat started playing Pokemon Reborn.  We're all really enjoying the game.  I give the whole crew a lot of credit for the deep, emotional story. complex characters, and challenging gameplay that the main series Pokemon games hasn't provided.  I'm currently on Route 2 and working my way through the Reborn region.    
A little more about myself.... I play the Pokemon Trading Card Game on a competitive level and I am active member and writer on the site I mentioned previously.  I've been playing the TCG competitively for just over three years now, and I really love the game.  I also dabble in the video game meta, but I'm far from a master of that.  I've been an avid Pokefan ever since Red and Blue hit American shores in 1998, and I have no shame in admitting that I sleep with Pokemon plushies.  I'm also somewhat of a writer, and I've picked up roleplaying as a hobby, though I have a tendency to get writer's block every now and then.   
I'm interested in this community because it surrounds a game that I've really been enjoying the last few weeks.  Of all the charactes I've met so far, my favorite is Cain.  He (I think it's a he anywaY) has made me laugh on more than one occasion with his singing classic Pokemon songs and chipper attitude.  i would love to see a spinoff game starring him, haha.   
And that's about it.  I'm usually up for a chat when I'm not busy with TCG stuff (which I had to see is often but it depends on a lot of things), and I'm pretty easily amused.  So if this essay is too much for you to read, let me conclude with a single word that should sum everything up.  Hello!
