Quit competitive poke-battling, or just left the forum in general? I only just got back into pokemon like, 2 weeks ago when I picked up my copy of platinum. What sucks is that I gave my pearl version away to my little cousin expecting to never play again, and he wiped my file, along with my 20-odd shines, 4 PC boxes filled with Crobat, and 400+ hours of my life, so now I'm basically screwed, and have to do all of it all over again :'D
Things have been pretty good for me. Yourself?
