Welcome To The Pokémon Center
Introduction, Thread Index, and Resource Center
One morning, shortly after your tenth birthday, you wake up with a feeling of total excitement. Today marks the day that your very own Pokémon legend is set to unfold. You go over to your local computer and pull out a stored potion. You walk by your television set, which has Nintendo's latest home console attached to it. You step downstairs and have a brief chat with your mother before walking out the door into your sleepy, suburban town. Eager to get started right away, you head off in the direction of the route to the nearest neighboring town. As you take your first step onto the route, you become totally paralyzed. Suddenly, you hear a voice:
As Pokémon Trainer mains, I'm sure we can all relate to this amateurish yet common mistake in our profession. Fortunately, the Pokémon Center's have all agreed to offer a new, free program for all Pokémon Trainers; a program that can teach novices the ropes and helps keep even Champions in the loop to our meta game and techniques. The following is the fruit of their labor, an ever-growing collection of works that will prove most useful to Pokémon Trainers.
