Hi everyone :)! My name is Orange Flaaffy and I am brand new to these forums. I am a member of many other pokemon forums under the same name.

I've been a pokemon fan since the anime started when I was in high school and am twenty-four year old now :)

I've been thinking about joining Pokemasters for years now, but something always stopped me..I guess I was a bit... intimidated.

I mostly just read and write pokemon fanfics everywhere I can, along with just talking about writing topics (which always seem to start a debate or two) :)

Welcome to our humble forum. Visit everywhere and do everything.

(beats everyone else to forum-plugging)

Thank you. :wave:

Welcome to TPM, Orange! I'm sure you'll like it here, especially if you're into ficcing and general writing. We've got a great FF board, so be sure to check it out when you get the chance! ^_^

Welcome. I am Mikachu Yukitatsu, the representative of Finland in TPM. You can find me mostly from PCG forum these days. I advertise here, but I recommend you to check what we have done in Whack-a-TPMer v.2 and vote for the funniest whacker in the poll I made. New version I plan to start next year, be sure to whack us then.

I have been writing a fanfic, too, but now I haven't written it for ages, perhaps I'll continue when I have time.

G'day. Hehe - welcome to the forums, then. Glad that you finally joined us here. Hopefully I'll catch you in the Fanfic forum, which is my main haunt. We love all that kind of writery discussion/debate stuff that you mentioned, so you'll fit right in in the Writer's Lounge.

Seeya round!

Howdy! Welcome to this zany little thing called TPM. Hope you have a fruitful (haven't used that word today) time here, be sure to put in your two bob's worth in any topic that takes your fancy, and if you have any issues feel free to consult pretty much anyone. We're all pretty bored and would love to help. heh

Hello, Mr. Pikachu! My, you sound very serious :)
Mikachu Yukitatsu, for some reason you banner drew me in, does it say your name?
DragoKnight, I don't have two bob's but I think I have a few pennies and some bubblegum we can share :)

Fanfic? Part of it may be due to a slower posting rate, but majority of the works aren't the same game/anime-ripped concept again with an inexperienced writing style backing it up, as well as constructive criticism within replies.

Or maybe I haven't seen their Fanfic section lately to see that there's a difference now?

Mikachu Yukitatsu, for some reason you banner drew me in, does it say your name?

Hehe, glad you like it. But it says "Fei san dou tin bin". That's from Sailor Moon's Cantonese (southern China dialect) opening. It means something like "I fly with my body towards the horizon" but I am not sure. Perhaps Dark-San would know, he may not speak Cantonese, though. My Chinese teacher said that "bin" has no meaning here, but I disagree. Did I bore you with this language lesson?

And hey! A newbie topic that has 41 replies!!

Dark-San
19th December 2007, 09:32 AM
HPerhaps Dark-San would know, he may not speak Cantonese, though.

Cantonese originates from Guangzhou, which is a Southern Chinese province. So yes, you are right. And also 'bin' does have a meaning. Basically if you pronounced 'tin' alone, it basically means the sky. So adding a 'bin' would only give it a meaning as horizon.

Meh, I am not very fluent in my Cantonese and Hokkien, so don't start cussing me if I am wrong. >.<;

Hello Orange_Flaaffy! The name's Louis (shinypkmnchaser is too large of a username)

First of all, welcome to The Pokemasters Forums! I hope that you enjoy your time here. If you have anything to ask, you can PM any moderator of the crew, or any member. From mr_pikachu to Blademaster and from Chris to Little_Pikachu. Even Kevin, who is the creator of the forum can help.

Remember that, if you have questions about Pokemon games, then check out the games section, from the advanced generation (DP, RSE) to the classic generation (GSC, RBY) and the other videogames section. Number1ChanseyFan and SupremeChampion will be there to help.

If you have fanfiction, then I'll leave that to mr_pikachu, Gavin Luper, mistysakura or darktyranitar in the Fanfiction section. Also, Saffire_Persian (please, tell me I wrote that right!) can help you with Fan art (BTW, pretty cool banner)

The Anime Style Battling section is one of the coolest around TPM. If you want to battle on like the anime series, then this is the place for you. Hypotenuse Man and River will be there for assistance.

If you want to play an interactive RPG, then Roy Karrde, Bulbasaur4 and Weasel Overlord are available for you.

And last, but not least...check out the Polls, Clubs, Games section. A lot of fun games are waiting in this section. Whack-a-TPmer, Lingo, Twisted Wishes and Pokemon Hangman are some of the games on the PCG board.

Well, those are some of the things of TPM. I'm 100% sure that if I forgot something, my fellow friends in TPM will tell you about it. Apart from that, have fun around.

PS: I anyone wants to hear the lamest jokes ever, or if you want to take out the rage of something by throwing out tomatoes, then contact me.

*everyone begins to throw tomatoes at Louis*

Hey, not so soon! *flees*

20th December 2007, 08:10 PM
Most people left as the years went on. That's the thing about a seven-year-old Pokemon forum. All the old members grew out of it, and there weren't enough new people interested in Pokemon to balance it out.
Sure we get great new members like AdventureSerum every now and then, but most people just come in, then leave.
Not to mention, there was a time when the rules were a little stricter than most other forums, which kinda got on people's nerves so they ponced off to lighter places elsewhere. That's pretty much it, most of it was just people growing up and moving on.

Gee. Thanks. *pelts with tomato-colored brick*

Getting to the topic at hand, a lot of people have said in recent months (and to a lesser extent, the last few years) that TPM is in a state of decline. I have to agree with that to a certain degree; after all, nobody here would argue that the forums are as active as they were in TPM's prime.

But I don't believe that we're still progressing further in that decline. In a small way (certainly not as big as the aforementioned loss of activity), it seems to me that we're getting a small boost, both from new members and from veterans who, like me, don't want to see TPM just fade away.

Not all the forums are seeing this boost; OPB is basically gone, and OPG gets a scant few posts every month or so. TBD is fairly inactive, although that's mainly because there hasn't been much to talk about for awhile.

But in contrast, most of the other forums are still receiving attention, and some in increasing amounts. Fanfic has fairly good streams of activity; I see multiple updates on a daily basis, which is an upswing from a month or so ago. PCG gets perhaps the most attention, a phenomenon which need not be explained. Advanced Generation, while not quite so active lately, still gets interesting topics despite the current lack of TPMBL tournaments (which will continue after I get my real-life stuff sorted out). TCG gets its fair share of topics, as does OA. RPG and ASB also fare well. Misc always has something, and even GD's received some deserved attention the last few weeks.

Personally, I don't think TPM's "dying," as some suggest. Merely that it's entering a different stage of life and growing into a new form, a new type of forum. It's not quite the hyperactive, post-laden place that it was before. There's no denying that. But considering the activity that still persists, maybe that's not such a bad thing.

I just talked about my plans which I had when I was 14 and how Pokémon saved me, "cool my post was noticed by one of the first TPMers" or something in one of them, SPAMming isn't so difficult.

And do you mean you'll close this thread? If I am right, why?

About the activity, I am actually happy with TPM now that I don't have to spend the whole day reading those endless religion topics or 'who is Ash's father'. I know this line shouldn't come from me, after all I post too many questions in Questions Only, steal the fun of the milestone topic, make a long sumary of mr_pikachu's War of the Forums... I put a lot on TPM, but the outcome isn't always good.

And by the way Orange Flaaffy! Magmar likes Sailor Moon, too!

*Claps for Brian's post*

No, seriously, I need that, being one of those who suggested that TPM isn't as active as it used to be, heh.

Aww, Mikachu; don't be so hard on yourself. Chill ^^

...SPAM(strangles Louis for doing what I already did)SPAM...

*while being strangled* For the tour, or the lame jokes?

*after being strangled...*


Gee. Thanks. *pelts with tomato-colored brick*


*wakes up dazed* Hey, why did you do that, if you aren't mo...

*notices that mr_pika is now a moderator of the advance generation*

...douh!



Anyway, as for what Brian said, I agree with him.

Personally, I think that life has our memers busy, making it hard for them to post at the forums.




I've been thinking about joining Pokemasters for years now, but something always stopped me..I guess I was a bit... intimidated.

This is another common problem. It happened to me too, and it probably happens to other people who want to join TPM. Maybe that's why most forums decline in one way or another. Today's life makes people afraid of things, even if the thing is to join a forum.

Yes, for the tour.

OK, I'm done. For now.

I think it because I remember when the rules were harder. I remember there was one about spelling, and being as I have a learning disablity I think I was frightened you would make fun of me :(

That kind of problem is similar to my problem with English. Since English is my second language (spanish is my first), I take some time to create my posts, because I try to make sure that the words aren't misspelled. (Even this sentence was kinda hard for me to make :sweat2: )

But no worries, I know that no one would be too cruel to do something like making fun of you (at least, not in this forum).


Of course, we have the "Grammar Nazi", but he is a nice guy and he can help anytime.

*looks at mr_pikachu*

Right!? ;)

Heald, you should buy a body pillow with your Christmas money and paste screencaps of your favorite posts in this thread on it.

Everybody's doing it, so you'll be fine.

*looks around* WHAT? I've been BUSY!!

Anywho, I'm Bulbasaur4 and despite my name, I'm probably the person who watches pokemon or plays it the least. Or I'm up there with a few of them... *looks at name again* I just... am so attached... to this name... *licks it*

I'm yet another RPG moderator, and I CO-RULE the forum with Weasel. *stands by Kirst* Roy Karrde thinks he does, but really he lives in a little box and we just feed him enough sugar so he doesn't get hungry. :p

If you like pokemon fan fiction, I encourage you to perhaps take a gander at the RPG forum. Occasionally we have pokemon-based RPGs which are great little tools for doing little mini-story posts here and there. ^_^

Oh, and I am the keeper of all the sugar and flamethrowers in this place. *looks* What? You guys didn't know that? :3

No, that's what homos like me get. Every time we kiss another guy, the power and strength of our AIDS increases tenfold. Right now I have approximately 6.022 x 10^23 AIDS. And that's how I passed Chemistry.
