Hey! Long time lurker here! Never really posted on the forums before.

Anyway, I've been a long time Pokemon fan. I remember years ago playing the original games, and then the GBA games, and then briefly dipping in to the DS games.

I put thousands of hours in to them, which is probably no achievement compared to some, but I enjoyed myself :)

Anyway, I sold my DS Lite a while ago as I needed the money, but I have just got a 3DS, and along with it Pokemon Black Version 1.
I can't wait to get stuck in and get lost in the wonderful Pokemon world again.

Bit about me. Real name is Kerry, 21, female, drummer, heavy metal and rock lover, and currently writing this from a hospital bed lol!
I am unwell at the moment, and my Dad bought me the 3DS and pokemon to keep me entertained.

So here I am. I hope to post more and get more into the technical side of the game. Before I just used to play it for the story and to try and get as many Pokemon as I could. But now I want to learn about EV training and what not, and hopefully have an even more enjoyable experience.

See you all around the forums!
 
Sorry to hear you are in the hospital; I really hope it's nothing serious.

Anyhow welcome aboard! Speaking as someone else who is just starting on the technical side of things there are a ton of helpful people here. If you want to learn about the Competitive battling side of things let me know and I can hook you up with a group of guys who have been rather patient with bringing me up to speed. :)
Enjoy the forums and while I am no crazy breeder, can't make perfect Pokemon or what have you. If there are any non-Legendaries you would like to accompany you on your journey through Black 1 let me know via PM and I can breed you something.
 
Thank you for the welcome and for the offer! I may have to take you up on it.
To be honest, and this sounds pathetic, but the only Pokemon I have ever wanted and never got was a Pikachu lol. I always wanted one so bad and never got one. Am I correct in understanding you can only get one in Black Version 1 through trading?
I'm hoping to get stuck in to the EV training soon. Although I don't actually have a clue how to do it haha, but I'm sure I'll find a good guide here or something.

As for being in the hospital, it's sorta serious but nothing that can't be fixed :)
Long story short, I abused alcohol for 2 years and ate once a day as I filled up on booze and never had an appetite.
I'm now having to force myself to eat as I am never hungry so my brain will learn what hunger is again. It's a difficult time, but I'll get through it. And I now have my 3DS and Pokemon Black to keep me entertained :)
Sorry for being maybe a little too honest there. No one likes a sob story. But it's the truth at the end of the day.
 
No one said the truth was always sunshine and rainbows but its brave of you to have told us, so props to you! :)
Glad you're on the road to recovery and I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed hoping you make it out of there!
As for the popular yellow mascot unfortunately the only way you can get one is via the poké transfer, aka. you gota transfer it from the previous generation games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Fire Red, Leaf Green, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold & Soul Silver) which can only be done once you have beaten the elite four, but hey! at least it gives you an incentive to beat the game! :)
Also, if you don't mind me asking how hard is it to master the drums? I've been playing the guitar for 13 years and wana move on now :P

Well give me a gender, nature and a name if you name your guys and I'll start cracking on the pikachu. I just brought my Pichu up from soulsilver yesterday so I can make you one, no problem and as long as you have gotten past the dreamyard I can trade him/her to you. I too am using a Black 1 atm.

Welcome Kezelhan! hope you to see you around the forums!

As for your EV Training Delima, i can tell you the basics of it, then you will have to figure the rest out yourself for competitive battling.

Every pokemon has a set value of gaining Evs known as EV yeild. defeating that pokemon will give you that EV yield on to your pokemon stats, for example:

Pikachu gives you 2 EV points of speed once you defeat it, but you wont see a difference in your pokemon's speed stat yet. once you gain 4 Evs on speed, your speed stat will increase by one, and the max Evs you can have on a pokemon is 510, and the max you can have on one stat is 255, but you dont want to max out the Evs on a stat because only 252 will be needed since putting more wont raise you stat anymore so that way you can use your remaining Evs allowed on another stat.

Smogon is the site competitive battlers use to find the best movesets, natures, and Ev Sets according to your needs, you you should check it out!
 
Thanks for your kind words and advice guys! I will reply more in depth tomorrow, but right now I'm off to crack on with Pokemon Black :) Reliving my youth haha!

As for the drums, I've been playing around 5 or 6 years and still have a lot to learn. However, I found it pretty easy to pick up and had no sense of rhythm at the time! ;)

Thanks again and like I said I'll post a longer reply tomorrow, especially about trading the Pokemon and the EV stuff!
