I Built the Community I Couldn’t Find

I don’t need to prove myself to anyone, but if you constantly think my work is AI, I guess the work speaks for itself. 😂

I’ve been a professional graphic designer for over 20 years. I have degrees in CIT and CIS, and I’ve been mastering Photoshop and Illustrator longer than half of you have been alive. This “creator” thing isn’t new to me, and I don’t need ChatGPT to create. Give me Adobe and I’m good!

You can assume and point fingers all you want, but remember whose page you’re commenting on. Come in acting like a keyboard warrior and I’ll ban your ass, then Photoshop you into an Eevee cosplay for fun. 😂

There’s a reason I protect the energy here.

When I came back into the community, I tried joining groups like Redline, PokeDads and several others, but too many people acted like jerks. I was the newcomer trying to post a lot, and I couldn’t find a single place where I genuinely felt welcome.

My wife told me I needed to find my people, so I created the The Pokémon Family Community myself. Then that grew into PokéDaé, and now here we are.

I built the kind of community I couldn’t find, and I’m not letting negativity take it over now.

If you show up barking, I’m sending you on your way. This community isn’t for everyone, especially the investor bros, and that’s perfectly fine. If you don’t fit the energy we’re building here, just keep scrolling. 🫡
