Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Heyo I'm Lind/Lotte, either is fine! @VerlangenLotte I was active in the online scene back in the X/Y meta, and used to make a series of comics titled "Genwun Guy" which satirized different stereotypes of toxic fans. That's how I first stepped into this community!
Many years have gone by since those days, and while I've always maintained my love for Pokémon, I've only just recently decided to dive into the VGC format! Currently trying to sync up with anyone who may be in the PNW scene, as it seems we don't have any real presence beyond the Portland and Seattle areas.
