Haha, thanks for reading the blobs of text. I'm happy someone found me interesting. Yep, after 2 years, I couldn't take it anymore so I finally gave in. Oh, and I checked out IB and Serious Discussions and damn I know what you mean with the ass-fistery, I guess I'll be avoiding those trenches for the time being. And, thanks for the welcome mate. I'm pretty sure I'll be nice and happy here.
IB is fine if you are intelligent, which by the looks of you are.
You say you like Pokemon, so what is your favorite generation? My favorites are generations 2&3. I like the second generation because it's basically the first generation with a few add-ons (and you can go to two reigons; but then again the Johto reigon is quite small, the game would have been too short without the Kanto reigon, and the third generation because even though it is drastically different from the first generation, you can still feel that it is connected to the first generation. I'm not the biggest fan of generations 4+, but that may me just being prejudiced since I haven't played them. I'm actually re-watching the original series.
What are your teams? My teams for Crystal and Emerald respectively:
Feraligatr
Meganium
Typhlosion
Suicune
Lugia
Sometimes I switch/add in Jynx. Her Ice Punch is extra powerful. Golduck is my HM slave. I use a five pokemon team for now. I also sometimes include a sixth that I train just to level up (currently my Pidgeot).
Swampert
Salamance
Mew/Blissey
Snorlax aka Curselax (Snorlax with curse is a nightmare for most people)
Gengar (Mean Look and Perish Song combo)
Aerodactyl
I have two Snorlax that I switch out for different move types and three Gengars; one for hazing, two is for more balanced, third is all out. I switch Blissey in if I can't use Mew (like at the Battle Frontier).
Do you play PokeMMO?
Haha, I guess I'll take a dive into IB then sometime. As for my favorite generation, honestly, the 5th, Unova; since I spent the most amount of time on it, has most of my favorite pokes, and the meta is downright deep and exciting. (Well, besides Ubers) I too was like you; I was hesitant to try out the new 4th gen, but when I did, I loved it. When 5th gen came out, I didn't like the new Pokemon designs, but soon, I came to love them along with the new game. You've got to try the new games, I recommend getting Heart Gold/Soul Silver first since you mentioned you liked Johto. Both versions of the game are actually remakes of Crystal, meaning you can go to Kanto and Johto. Also, you have access to 3rd gen and 4th gen pokes. When you're done with that and want more, check out Black 2/White 2. Don't get Black 1/White 1 if you don't want to be stuck with 5th gen pokes until you beat the game. Black 2/White 2 provides you a mixed assortment of Pokemon of all gens throughout the entire Unova region which is awesome.
