Pokécharms

never too late to start! ^^

What would you say is the easiest way to jump into the pokecharms culture? I've just spent all morning browsing and posting a few sketches.

It depends on what aspect of Pokecharms you want to be a part of; though all are related, each one is rather unique. The Corner is mainly used by artists and people who like art. Profiles and conversations are usually where the people looking for a social network-esque area hang out.

Forums are similar to profiles in that regard I guess, but have a somewhat different community. The chatroom is where most of the old guard reside, and has random bursts of activity throughout the day. Best way is to just go out and talk to people, really Comment on art, statuses, etc. and you'll soon be a part of us~

See, I was bored and just started drawing, but it's not my thing. I mean, I'll contribute, but that's not why I want to be here. Honestly, I like thos environment more than other social medias, but I lack the connections to be able to integrate myself comfortably.

If art isn't your thing, there are many other ways to become a part of the community (or you can even just comment on art, if you prefer). Just find something that kind of works; like I said, there are various different aspects about the site. ^^; And who says you can't be a part of all of them?

So browsing profiles and commenting on strangers statuses isn't taboo, huh? That's gonna take some getting used to.

definitely not, it's generally pretty welcomed here. A lot of members go around posting welcome messages and just commenting on random statuses. I think it makes for a good, open community~

I noticed somewhere during my browsing adventures that someone had mentioned a digimon RP. Outside of the internet I both play and DM D&Dand have limited RP experience. I'd love to RP with digimon, but I'm not familiar with how it's done exactly. I have a suspicion that it's just people talking and pretending. Would you happen to know anything on this front?

Depends on who you RP with; the RP group I was with who had the digimon RP tended to just have talking and pretending. However, we do have an RP board here, where it's more like collaborative fic writing where each person controls their own character(s). Pokemon RP board: http://pokecharms.com/forums/pokemon-role-play.18/ And general RP board: http://pokecharms.com/forums/general-role-play.6/

I just checked out both links. They're both helpful and overbearing. Thanks. I appreciate all your help. I'm going to continue my sojourn in the forums now lol.
