Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yes it is. I'm devising a team with Scrafty and Salamence on it. I'm planning on calling the team "Shaolin Dragons" or something badass like that. I actually came up with the team name first, though lol.
I'm just battling to get a better feel for the game and have fun, for now. Once I become better at team building and battle instincts, then I'll probably get into all that stuff. As for now, I'll just derp around in the CAP section.
