Hello everyone! I've always had a hard time getting into Pokémon forums because normally I felt I didn't fit in, the forums themselves were very strict, or the forums had very elitist members. I'd be happy to join a smaller community like this one and hopefully watch it grow. My hobbies include mostly digital art, which I've been doing for several years now. I started off with traditional (pencil and eraser) since I was a runt and didn't stop drawing since then. I will be posting a portfolio topic soon, so please come and check it out! I also enjoy writing, but I haven't done it in quite a long time. I'm getting back into it now in the form of a Pokémon fanfiction. My favorite Pokémon, as you can probably see from my signature, is Braixen. While its line may not be the most powerful in battle, I love the design and spunk of this Pokémon! I also like fox/canid Pokémon quite a bit in general. I'm a competitive battler at heart, and I play under Smogon rules on Showdown. I've been slacking when it comes to learning the Gen 7 meta, but that's because I've been rather busy, unfortunately. Lastly, I run a Youtube channel centered around Pokémon games and competitive battling. As you can see, I've swamped myself with a lot of different things to keep me busy... Anyway, I feel comfortable being here, and I hope to have some fun down the road getting to know the rest of you. Bye for now~
Welcome to the forums, good to have you. I think we'll be up your alley, we have sections for posting art and as for competitive stuff there might be some coming down the line. Glad you feel comfortable here, I think you'll like it just fine.
Welcome Fidchell to the Pokémon forums, enjoy it here, quite a lot of people here do digital art so you will fit right in, enjoy surfing stacks of posts salute to you
Thank you guys for the warm welcomes~ If you guys ever get around to making a competitive section, I would be happy to accommodate my knowledge (limited as it is) to help people who are interested start off and get into it.
Artists. ♡ That gives you brownie points in my book! I don't draw too often anymore since I'm busy, but man does it feel awesome to translate your thoughts onto visuals. Except when they don't come out how you intended hahaha. q_q Welcome Fid, it's very nice to have you on LV and I hope you'll stick around long-term.
Welcome to the site! I don't think you'll find anything negative like that here, Lake Valor is a lovely little community. Have a great stay.
Welcome to the Lake Fidchell! I really love your art style it is so glamours! I will be keeping an eye out! We have a bit of a competitive community so you may find some great battle partners in the Festival Plaza!
