Thank you all very much! I appreciate the warm welcome (:
I am currently just running through Hoenn, still getting a feel for it all but live and learn. I probably still have quite a ways before I actually get to where the real stuff happens. I hear a lot about breeding and stuff but when the time comes for me to do that, I will get it figured out.
Also, there is a lot of channel chat spam (not pointing any fingers or anything spanish) for vendo/selling pokemon and items, combined with an astounding neglect of the trade channel that got to the point that I had to shut off the other languages. But, meh, I didn't really needs those anyways :lol:
