I joined for the thread "Shiny Pokemon with the Pokeradar," that thread brought me some memories. <3
Through the reputable Bulbapedia. I figured they had forums.
I was looking to evolve a pokemon, and needed some help.

I first found this forum back in 2008 while I was reading through Bulbapedia. I lurked for several months and then left for the majority of 2009. I came back to this site late 2009, lurked for a few more months, and then finally decided to make an account.
Ironically through supercheat's forums a few years back.
WHAT'D YOU THINK, THAT I'D STILL BE A RUNT AT EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD?
GET UP YOU NOVICE! I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU HOW OUT CLASSED YOU REALLY ARE!
There’s no such thing as a painless lesson. They just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can’t gain anything without losing something first although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.
I bet my story is the most wierd.
I found the forums while searching for Advanceshipping fanart. I found the old AS thread. But I did know about bulbapedia. Back then, i had no idea what forums were.
A long story that I don't feel like telling again.. Has something to do with youtube.

I stumbled across it once when looking through the pedia (which I discovered by googling Pokeshipping (yep, Bulbagarden introduced me to shipping))
I never actually joined until HGSS was announced.

I looked up Brock and clicked on The Brock club and snooped around a bit then finally joined. *bows*
I opened my eyes.
Because Eevee is freaking adorable. DO NOT DENY IT, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.
My webcomic, "The Hiroto Show", has landed on Topwebcomics! So come on and vote!
I was searching for the episode list of the anime. Below the Wikipedia one I saw a link to the 'Pedia, and since I knew the pedias and wikias of the big franchises are fun stuff, I clicked. Soon after I stumbled upon the forums and after some lurking, I joined.
I was reading Dawn's article in bulbapedia, and found this forum. Then, I joined this forums to have more privilege in voting and other things.
Well, I’ll stay close without the sleep
My broken heart is yours to keep
So pull out the puzzle and every piece
While I take all the gain
I found Bulbapedia through Google by accident then it led me to here. =)

well i had been an avid user/lurker of the 'pedia and when searching for sprite sheets i stumbled upon someone's post where they draw all pokemon by memory in paint. lurked there for about a week then made an account. didn't do much for almost a month and then i made my first friend^^
