Like Linkachu, my genesis within this generation of PokeCharms rests in the Turquoise Tavern and its then host-site, Turquoise City. At some point, TC became affiliated with a website by the name of RPGCCG - which was one of Alex's earlier forays into web designs.
It was a b0rked little place which featured an RP tournament that never quite took off the ground, and not due to lack of trying. And through some convincing from a friend of mine (who is no longer a member of 'charms, and hasn't been for a long while - but she used to go by Keleri) I found myself joining said RP tournament, and becoming somewhat more involved in its community.
When RPGCCG collapsed into its own navel and died, Alex started his next web project, Nintendo-Gamer.tk. I followed the proverbial white rabbit, and when NG-TK itself exploded, I did the same for PokeCharms.
... And here I've been ever since. And I'll probably be here until the universe collapses into its own navel and implodes. Yay for you, eh? >>;
