Orion's Irrenhaus

366 days ago, I watched an LP. Chuggaaconroy's Pokemon Emerald LP, to be exact. In that LP, he mentioned Shiftry, saying how underrated and "monstrous" it can be in battle. I decided to check out its stats on Bulbapedia. I decided that I needed this Pokemon. But alas, I had no way to obtain it, as I had never encountered a Seedot in-game. I noticed a link on Bulbapedia's homepage that read "Bulbagarden forums".
"Ah, they have a forum," I thought to myself. "Perfect."
I quickly found the BMGf GTS, and posted a thread in Munchlax's Cravings, requesting a Seedot. A day later I worked out a deal with some guy who wanted a Skitty in return. I gladly accepted the offer, and received my Seedot. After a long night of training, Shiftry turned out to be a festering pile of horse shit.

Point is, on that day, I discovered a website and community that would quickly become one of my favorite places to visit online. Here's to the first year, and the ones to come. Ya'll are sexy bitches, and I love ya.
