Hey there everyone. Television17 introducing myself.
I did make an account here a while ago but I forgot about this place until today...
So, I thought I might introduce myself to the community.
I'm... Well, I'd like to say I'm a veteran of competitive battling, but that's probably not true. I know a lot more than I put into practice, and I haven't been battling for ~1-2 years competitively. Most of my evenings have been spent hunched over my DS, crying in frustration as the Battle Tower/Subway/Frontier endlessly wallops my carefully selected and fine-tuned teams. >.>
If anyone has a good strategy for getting that last star I'd love to hear it (Got it once in Diamond, gods know how).
I digress. I like to think I have a fairly good knowledge of pokémon in general (although it does sometimes get a little rusty in my gaps between games), and I'm probably a breeder first (involuntarily as it may be), a trainer second, and a battler third.
I'd like to get involved in this community a little more, as I think this game looks very promising (provided Nintendo/Game Freak/anyone else doesn't have it taken down), and if the updates and patches are as community friendly as I'd hope, it should be really awesome. The screenshots in the given section are looking very well polished, and I'm liking the character customization very, very to my liking (I didn't enjoy playing Battle Revolution for 40+ hours just to get blonde hair...).
I'm looking forward to see what the developers of this promising game end up using in place of EVs (Yes, I do read the FAQs and such!), as well as seeing functions which would make the game more community interactive.
For example, (and I'm just throwing my two cents into the ring here) I think it would be great to see some new items which might be quest rewards, or the winners of tournaments getting to make their own item for players to use in-game, as innovative incentives. I also like the idea of getting new trainer abilities that make playing the game almost seem like a class-based system in and of itself.
I think it would also be quite cool to be able to ride pokémon not just when using fly or surf, but as mounts to travel faster in game (Possibly using new moves or abilities to do this), as I've always wanted to be able to do that sort of thing.
Anyway, perhaps a little more about myself, no?
My first game (not just pokémon, but at all) was Pokémon Gold version, and I've been hooked on the franchise ever since. I own every main series game, bar Silver, LeafGreen and Yellow (In English, anyway; I have two Japanese versions), and my most played-through version is Emerald, totaling 6 times, I think. My most-hours game is my Diamond version, on which I've racked up 750+ hours. Across all my games, I've spent more than 3000 hours capturing, trading, training, evolving, and breeding every pokémon, and have completed the pokédex in at least one game in every generation (Though the first two have been done on VBA so I don't lose my saves from internal battery death).
Seeing that the open beta is being released in December has made me very excited, and I feel I'll be active (hopefully) in the lead up to the release.
I think that's all from me for now. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Television17

Welcome to PU (again)

Welcome to PU! Great introduction. I see random usernames are becoming popular :3
-
Actually, I've had this username for almost 8 years now, and I use it for everything!
Basically wherever you see 'Television17' on the internet, it's me (Except YouTube. Someone got in before me, apparently...).
Long story short, it was an in-joke between my friends and I for about 24 hours, and it stuck to me when I made a character on Runescape with that name as a joke.
And I don't like to post one-liners, so if I'm going to do an intro thread, I'm going to make it count. :)

Nice introduction Television17! Welcome to PU!

Hi there Television17! Welcome back to PU! :)
That was indeed quite a while since you joined :P

Yeah, as I said, probably meant to favourite the site and just forgot! In fact, I forgot to yesterday when I first posted as well, and had to google to find it again! T_T
That's my fault, though. I tend to forget important things and remember useless rubbish...
