Don't be sad. :) I'm sure you'll find someone to compete with.
Found out the USB connectors are incompatible with Windows 7 though, and what did my computer just happen to have installed on it? You guessed it. So, no wi-fi for me. I live in an apartment with people living above, below and to either side so a wireless router almost guarantees stolen internet.
Anyway it's a nice day outside going to make an effort to get some fresh air. But there's never anything to do outside except wander about. Except if you're wealthy which I am not.
Anyway, yeah, I don't know what the online pokemon culture is like since I kind of miss out a bit. What is it like? Is it difficult to get trades or battles?
