How did I find Psypoke? Well, I knew about this since the March before I joined. (Two months before) I was Googling "Online Pokedex", and this and some other site (I think Pokecharms?) showed up. As I already knew about the Pokecharms one (I've been a member since a year ago or so) so I tried the Psypoke "Psydex". It was a rewarding experience, and I never went back to Pokecharms after this. I've stayed, and I learned so much out of this. Thank you Psypoke!

Well, i found Psypoke at Google a week before i actually joined here. I was checking some info inside the sites and decides to see the forum. I find out that it would be fun if i could participate here, so here i am.

I cant really remember how I actually found psypokes, but when I found it I found it vey helpfull. I had no idea about ev's and iv's and all that until psypokes. I didn't sign up for the forums right away though, cause well, im not very talkitive and for a 19 year old, have a very weird mind (yesterday i was wondering if we could gentically alter fish to make em taste like pepsi). But it hit me that I probably wouldn't have the chance in real life to talk about pokemon with other people my age, so I decided to join. Im more or less into the pokemon talk, but I do talk abit about other stuff. I glad I joined, and hope to add something intelegant to the site ( wait for it...).

I needed to get some info on a certain Pokemon RPG game which I can't remember anymore & I then googled for some sites that had info on the Pokemon games(not that exact phase) & this site was pretty much the first link that actually had a engrossing of info on the games I needed info for so once I got to the site, I got what I came for & always came back from that point on which was during the year 2008 I think...

How I found the Psypoke forum, well I occasionally would click on it sometimes when visiting the main site & then near the end of 2009 I made a decision that I would join the forum come New Years Day 2010 as I was now a little used to forums having been on another non Pokemon related one at the time, however I was a bit late getting signed up & ended up joining on the 2nd most likely due to what was going on around the house on New Years which was something I was pretty much forced to participate in...

My point is that while I wish I had joined earlier, I joined the forum that day instead & since then have enjoyed every visit to the Psypoke community, for better or for worse anyway...

I found this site around 2007, but I didn't join until early 2010. My sister showed me the site because I was having troubles beating Emerald. Pokemon was one of the things we had in common. Now she has no time to play between university, work, and life.

Psypoke really is a great place. Not only does it provide in-depth information upon everything in Pokemon, including pre-release info, walthroughs, breeding, and everything in between.

Psypoke is also great because of it brings together a community of wonderful people. Hearing the views and opinions of other intelligent human beings is great. I also learn alot. Like that Arbok backwards is Kobra.

I do not know what I would do if I didn't find psypoke.

Somewhere between five and six years ago (...man it doesn't feel like it's been nearly that long) I used Google in a desperate attempt for help on one of my Pokemon games, probably Emerald. I decided to stick around and use the site for whenever I had a Pokemon-related crisis, then eventually joined the forums in August of 2005. Well, technically September, as I more or less signed up and then went on vacation. >_> Anyway, I've improved a lot since first joining (such as not posting 50 times a day), and now I have a nice blue name to support that claim! As the first online community I joined, this place always kinda has some special value to me.

Like most of these people, I found psypoke on google, but actually a LONG time ago, like 2007, but I was completely oblivious to the fact that there were forums, Lol. But I remembered this site when I got Soulsilver to help myself out, and I started using the forums, around July.

I found psypoke through a google search about a year ago for a pokemon pokedex. I have been using this site for guides later, and I decided to join when I wanted to vote in this year's gpct. Soon enough, I started posting in the forums, and here I am now.

To all who have found this site on google: “ALL HAIL GOOGLE for finding psypoke for us!”

Using google, I thought it'd be a cool idea to get my team rated because I thought (even though in game teams don't really matter much) that it'd be a cool idea. I registered at a couple of forums, but I started reading though Psypoke threads and I started liking the community (actually, I thought some smartass comments from some of the mods were pretty funny, too), and though I was shy, I posted a little bit and gradually more and more as time passed. Since I pretty much hated everyone at that point (I joined in 2006, pretty much just as I left school and was really depressed), I decided socialising elsewhere away from the real world, thinking it would be a good idea away from all the **** going on.

And in a way, it was. I started talking, writing and roleplaying, joined one of the teams, visited the IRC channel, and in a way opened myself up... My grammar and spelling improved a hell of a lot more thanks to it, and I enjoyed making friends who liked the same things I did, and yeah, I really liked it here and I felt like I had a place I belonged. So like Rhapsody and a lot of other people who joined, this place has a lot of value to me as well, and some people I've met here mean a lot to me even though they may not realise it.

I looked up: 'pokemon websites with good pokedexes' and this was the top suggestion. Like shinashu taji, I browsed this site for a while before I joined. Now you know if I say "yeah, I was on this site when the teams were up." that I'm not lying. I just hadn't decided to join yet.

Way back when (at least 4-5 years ago) I had a friend. a friend who always had fun with me, even though he was a year older. He wanted to show me a site for the Pokemon games we were playing, and I thought it was cool. Back then I only looked at the main site, then I left it for a while. When I got back in to Pokemon full-time, I visited the site again, and I eventually joined the forums, just so I could comment on events, and generally mess around on the forums. I feel that maybe Psypoke is a bit slow to the punch, but as my first Pokemon site saved to my bookmarks (favorites then, I used to use IE), I hope that I never have to leave Psypoke.

I'm sure I've posted this story like three times already, but who gives a hoot if I tell it a fourth.

Back in early 2005, my best friend and I had gotten back into the Pokemon TCG. I was crazy for the Regi Pokemon at the time (namely because it took me forever to figure out how to obtain them), and of course I wanted to get the Registeel ex card from the Hidden Legends set. Suffice to say I did not get him in my first few booster packs (I did get the almost-as-awesome Regice ex though!), so I went online and googled "Registeel ex" so I could ogle the card online. It linked me to Psypoke's card dex, where I promptly stared at the Registeel card and wished it was mine. After a few minutes of basking in Registeel's metal glory, I saw the "forums" link. At the time, I had never been to a web forum. Since Pokemon was a rare hobby in my area, I got excited at the idea of a community of Pokemon players.

I guess you could say it was love at first sight; I instantly was enthralled with the forums. Some staff members and regular users can remember my fascination and dream with being a Psypoke moderator, which I eventually got to realize when Krisp asked me if I would like to join the staff. Needless to say I accepted in a heartbeat. Not only has this allowed me to help out the community I love, it's allowed me to make some close friends I probably would not have made as quickly (or at all, possibly!).

Sadly when I moved out last year, I didn't have a computer that allowed me to post regularly. Krisp was kind enough to send me an extra laptop, but that died in a couple months and I spent pretty much all of my year at my apartment without participating in Psypoke. Sure I'd occasionally type a short reply via the Wii browser, but that's such a pain in the butt and very inconvenient. Thankfully, I am moving back to my parents very soon. I might only be here for a few months, or I might be here for half a year, who knows. I'm just glad I can be active again, especially in #psypoke.


Exactly, I've never been able to find an online community that ensnares my interest quite like Psypoke. I don't think Psypoke could ever be replaced in my heart.

I just got back into pokemon and was making a Post-E4 team. I needed info on Farfetch'd Stick item, finding nothing specific on any site I asked the fourms here.

I found Psypoke sometime while I was in the seventh grade. I forgot what I searched for on google, I think it was something like "Pokemon TM/HMs List" or "Pokemon Level-Up Moves", something like that. Anyway, I stumbled upon this site and after visiting it for a few times as a reference, I joined the forums. I was a complete n00btard when I joined, made a bunch of n00b mistakes, but I caught on eventually. I was active for about a year or so, then when I finally was going into high school I said my good-byes to the community, posting once in a blue moon (like one or two posts in a year, yeah that often). At the end of my senior year of high school my friend was telling me about HeartGold and SoulSilver and how awesome they were, so I picked up a copy of HeartGold for nostalgia's sake and got obsessed with it for a about a month, then getting Diamond and Ruby, I eventually started using this site as a reference again (no googling, I just knew this was a good site), and eventually started posting on the forums again.

I was playing ruby, looked up a walkthrough so I could prepare for a gym or something like that, and found the guide on here :U



I lurked for a couple years until I saw "Pokemon Fusions" [ :OOO ] and thought I outta try it out, so I looked up tuts on youtube, threw some sprites together and registered.

Then I left after a few posts because I stopped playing pokemon for a while (the worst "while" in my life

I joined the site
.

Waaaay back in May or so of 2009 I was playing FR while my wife was recovering from a knee replacement. Was looking for walkthroughs and evolution information. Googled and found a couple of different sites with less than adequate information, then finally try Psypoke. I'd been utilizing information from here for a while then finally decided to join the forums so I could be about the oldest person on here.

I can't actually remember how I found i, probably through the Psydex for level up moves or something, I know I was a lurker for a while before joined the forum and went on the IRC and lol'd the first time I saw the kick wars in action. Sad thing is I go away for a few years and most the familiar names have either gone or changed (username), confusing. I know people move on and all that.

[color=#FFFFFF] A VERY long time ago I needed help with getting through Pok

I think I found it back in like 2004, when I was first getting into generation 3 after not having played much pokemon since the earlier days of generation 2. After I beat sapphire, I noticed there were a lot of pokemon that I hadn't seen, so I wanted to see what awaited me in the game. Unlike generations 1 and 2, I didn't pay any attention to forms of media other than the games, so every pokemon I saw was essentially brand new to me. I got around to googling 'pokedex,' and I found this one to be the most helpful. I even registered for the forums eventually, and I think I've posted more than 3 times per month on average!

Back in the day, I wanted to make my first competitive Pokemon team for Platinum, so Googled for a good Pokedex. I eventually stubled on the forum (my first one, by the way) and joined it. I had been spriting beforehand, so the old Sunnyshore Market enthralled me. Then I started a shop, got more awesome at spriting, and was kindly elevated to Jr Mod status by Krisp during the merger

Sunnyshore is dead now though
