Thank you! If you have any requests or would otherwise like to contribute, I encourage you to do so! It's basically all I've got running on this site right now.

Being new to this site myself, I share your enthusiasm for how friendly the community here seems to be, and I have similar goals as you've listed; though I daresay I'm not nearly so far into my Trainer journey as you've outlined above.
I've only been playing for little over a year; having then bought my first 3DS used, from a friend who was upgrading. I did originally play Red and Blue back in '99, and my fascination and appreciation for those games never really left me; although as the newer games were introduced, I never picked one up.
After trying to replay those games in an emulator a few times; only to realize trading for 'dex completion was not possible, followed by stints playing Pokémon GO and Pokémon Duel in turn, I finally decided to just jump fully back into the world of the mainseries games. I am now quite happy with that decision.
Anyway, I just wanted to say 'Hi' here, as a fellow recent community member. Cheers!
Well it sounds like you've got quite the Trainer's Journey yourself, just in a different way. Welcome back to the game! It's definitely a different experience being able to trade, especially for collections or for Dex completion. I could never get into Pokémon GO or Pokémon Duel, while I totally fell in love with the former and enjoyed playing the latter, so you've got one up on me.
I like hearing people's experiences with starting with Red and Blue way back in the day. I hear a lot of different stories, some stick with it for life, some stop playing, some stop for a while and come back, and it's really interesting to me as someone who wasn't born until a little while after Gold and Silver's release.
Happy to be a new member along with you!
