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.
i'm not entirely sure when i'll be available. do you have discord? i'll be hanging out with friends and will work the game in at some point but i don't know what our plans are, so if you could be flexible that'd be great. if not i can schedule something specific.
