SilentOmen
Shadow of Prophecy
I've been roaming around some of the forums around here for a little while, but I realized I've never formally introduced myself. Most people online call me Omen, but I accept my RL name of Don as well.
Truth is, I've been around in the pokemon know how since first Gen came out to Canada. I was pretty involved with pokemon back then. Competetive gaming, Trading cards and even ran one of the few Card Leagues as a "Gym Leader" once upon a time (big deal since few Card Leagues were popular or successful in Canada). Grew out of it all in Gen III and took a break. Gen IV got me back into the game, but less so than I once was. It's a nice past time, but I'm not too serious. Tried putting my input on forums a little too soon without doing research so I took a forum break pretty early to re-educate myself with the new competetive scene on what I learned to be Smogon. Serebii's POTW is also a blessing to one who needs to relearn.
So even though I've been signed up for a few months on these forums, my activity has been low. You'll find me roaming around the Competetive forums more often than not. I find seen how the battle scene keeps expanding and changing, it's a nice challenge to guide people to the right choices without out right taking over their team constructions.
I'm well versed in competetive concepts, but I've hung up the battle scene for now in favor of keeping neutral (nothing worse than a disconnect rage getting to ya). As far as the card game, I gave that up before Gen III and I'm afraid I'm not looking back. I'm open to criticism so long as it's constructive and not disrespectful. I'm human, I'm flawed and I strive to improve. That in mind, I'll help where I can and I hope that I will become a well integrated part of your community in the future to come.
Also, I strive to improve my grammar through some language barriers. Though I'm Bilingual, I was primarily francophone (french speaking) so overcoming the English grammar complication (Believe it or not, it's a difficult language to learn if it's not your first language) has proven to be a worthy challenge. If I make errors in language, kindly correct me to the appropriate term.
