Racing the Mind

Yup, I joined the forum on the US release day for BW... But I wasn't able to post immediately because the server was down due to a "Team Plasma attack". I actually didn't make my first post for a while.

I really can't believe it's been a year. I'm still really glad I got back into the Pokemon franchise for good after losing most interest from 2001 until 2010.

At the turn of the last decade, I was a member of several Pokemon forums that have since mostly gone defunct and amassed a couple thousand posts (PokeAbode, Universal Pokemon Network, etc... My old handle was MoLtReS146, and I still need to add to the Bulbapedia articles about those communities) I remember seeing Bulbagarden in there somewhere during my Pokemon site-hopping days as a middle schooler.

I like Bulbagarden the best out of the current Pokemon fansites. It's well-organized, the most pleasant to read, Bulbanews is very informative, and Bulbapedia is a lifesaver.
