I love your username, Hannah! It's so adorable, and your apparent quirk while typing up this intro is equally adorable too. :3 Thank you so much for the holiday wishes! A late Merry Christmas to you, too! Also, of course, [a late] welcome to the PokéCommunity forums!
My name's Cid, as you may see from my username, but Patrick is my name irl. I'm actually really shy irl, but here I just screw the rules and have fun. ;D You still have to follow
PC's rules, though, as well as the section-specific rules stickied atop each subforum, so you can't be too crazy. :p After all, the rules are there to keep the forum tidy, attractive and running smoothly. But yes, lots of gamers here, and that includes yours truly of course! You should check out our
Video Games subforum sometime, it deserves a lot more activity than it has right now. (b'')b And while I'm on the process of linking you to various sections, there's the
Japanese Entertainment section as well as the
Art & Design section which might also interest you! :)
And sure, you don't have to ask permission to ask stuff; it's kinda redundant, haha. My Christmas was really fun! How was yours? Also I usually just hang out in this section, the Pokémon-related sections, PC's Pokémon Showdown server, the trivia sections, sometimes on OVP, and in various profiles to talk to people. :D Also my favorite Pokémon is Squirtle! Celebi is a good choice though! <3
And it was my pleasure, really, welcoming you to our forums. You seem like a nice person; hopefully that shyness will fade a little in a manner that you're comfortable with so you can socialize with people around this community. :) I hope I can have a nice conversation or two with you in the future, Hannah! Bye!
