Hello Everyone, Nice to meet you all

Hi there I've been a fan of the youtube page for a while now, like most of the people here, and decided to give this a go. I've been a fan of pokemon since the games first came out, I got red and blue for the Christmas after they were released. After being a fan for well over 20 years I've decided to try upping my game, so to speak.

Up until recently I was a hacker player, I never played online against others so there is no concern about that and the cheats I did use primarily consisted of getting my favorite pokemon to use in a playthrough, but I have decided to turn over a new leaf after finding my very first legitimate shiny in 20 years, which was a Cutiefly. I'm looking forward to using these resources and people to become an awesome legitimate player, and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Nice to meet you. The first Shiny I ever came across was a Geodude, which I knocked on after 2 turns or so. The only other Shiny I have ever encountered was a Raticate, which I did catch.
