Greetings! I am Isaac, but you can call me mittens for short.
Welcome to the bush. I have a Latios, nicknamed Latios. I spent 2 days battling psyducks in a pond. Not a fun experience. I haven't played pokemon since because I'm lazy.
I do highly recommend some of the emulator games, specifically FE4 and FE6. I understand if you do not wish to, but I believe you're missing out on some of the good ones.
Anyways, have fun.. don't blow anything up.. stuff like that...
