Hi!

I'm rukkanen (is Finnish and means a mitten, don't ask why that is my nickname all around) and I'm from Finland. I'm turning 37 in July (oh my, I don't feel this old!!). :D

I've loved adoptables sites a loooong long time. Been on Chickensmootie, all sort of horse adoption sites, Dragon cave and now I'm here. It's funny how long it has taken me to end up in Poliwager. I've loved Pokemon since childhood, still loving it and now I have a 6 year old son who also loves Pokemon. We play Pokemon Go and Let's Go Pikachu together. <3 He also collects the cards. I collect G1 My Little Ponies. They are now burried in our attic, so they are waiting for the day when they might get some to shine again.. My partner collects videogames and guitars so we are kind of running out of room in our home when everyone is collecting something.

My favorite pokemon are Eevee (and all the evolutions), Vulpix and Ponyta. I've always been a horsegirl so that will never fade away even that I'm allergic to horsies.. Fox somekind of spirit animal to me and everything that reminds of fox is close to my heart. And 1st gen pokemon are all kind of treasures to me since I've grown up with them. Somehow my favourite Eeveelution is Umbreon. :geek: My game collection is mostly Pokemon games. I even got a Nintendo Gameboy SP (red) and Pokemon Ruby for birthday gift from my brother couple of years ago. But my biggest goal is Pokemon Platinum since it was the firts Pokemon game I played on my own when I was younger.

If there is something you want to know about me, just ask. :D I'm on the site and on forum mostly on weekdays 'cause I use my computer for work and do these on the side. Weekends are full of family time, building a chicken coop and taking our barking tiny dog outside to run. :D

Welcome to Poliwager, rukkanen! Wow, from Finland! I think you might be the first I've seen on here from there, how cool! I love that you have been teaching your son about Pokemon too, and the collections in your family sound awesome too!

If you have any site related questions, be sure to ask either here or in the Feedback forum, and I hope you'll maybe share some of your collection here if you want to as well! See you around! :D

Do you want to POKéMON with me?

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is an eternal God, the creator of the whole earth. He does not get tired or weary; there is no limit to his wisdom.

Thank you for the warm welcome! :D My kid is more nuts about Pokemon than me. But it's nice to have something to share with him. And when he learns to read and understand English too then he will have a lot of fun with older Pokemon games too. :)

I've slowly figured out most of the things on the site. Fun thing to do on a break while working. :D
