Hey, I'm Vraie and I've got back into playing pokemon lately thanks to my sister and her boyfriend deciding to do a pokemon marathon from gen 1 onwards. I played Blue, Silver, Crystal and Yellow when they came out, but never got to the later games because of lack of money for a console back then (sobs). Since getting back into the game I've fallen in love with Emerald, been confused by White and now been persuaded that I need to play X or Y.
So I'm an old person when it comes to pokemon, but a total noob when it comes to Pokemon Y. I apologise in advance for any silly questions.
I have a special soft spot for grass types, especially the Oddish evolutionary chain, and also Gardevoir and Wobbuffet. I am not a mad battler - if I was to define myself in pokemon genre terms, I would definitely be a pokemon breeder, as I like catching and raising and breeding pokemon but don't really like random battling.
Outside of pokemon, I study Japanese (classical and modern), and have done for 7 years (and normally play games in Japanese, Pokemon is an exception because of childhood nostalgia). I like to travel, to garden, to read and to write stories about various random things.
Pleased to meet everyone
