Greetings!
I read that I should enter this community by starting and introductory topic for myself, so here I am.
I was introduced to Pokemon Reborn by a friend and instantly got hooked on it. I could spend quite a while singing praises about the game's thematic shift away from the lighthearted mainstream games, creative puzzles, awesome music, and interesting resource management, but I'm sure everybody here knows already. The most important aspect of Pokemon Reborn to me is the balanced difficulty, as expressed by the thread title "competitively casual." Not as frustrating as taking on hardcore competitive battlers, but leaps and bounds above the actual console Pokemon games with a more robust AI, interesting original mechanics, and limited availability of Pokemon and TMs. This satisfying in-between level of difficulty is probably what sucked me into the game like it did and continues to keep me interested. Like the Dark Souls of Pokemon.
Aside from Pokemon Reborn, I'm interested in lots of Nintendo games like mainstream Pokemon games, Fire Emblem, Bravely Default/Second, etc. I play MMOs like Eden Eternal and LoL. I also enjoy other games I own on Steam such as Dishonored, Dark Souls, Stardew Valley, and games from the Half Life/Portal universe.
I thrive on puns. I think I have a hard time getting the big picture of what people say to me because my brain likes to go over each individual word first and to search for homophones or similarly spelled words instead. Give me any opportunities Sandile make a pun in response.
I'm known by my friends on Skype as Mr. Fish in reference to the Gyarados in the webcomic Manly Guys Doing Manly Things and other unrelated circumstances, and Magikarp Merchant on Pokemon Showdown. Thanks for reading, and I hope we all get along!
