does my fanfic have to be about Pokemon?

No, it does not. It can be based on another fandom, or be an original story. Just use the [Other] tag when posting the thread for the title.

oh thank you for telling me

I have a question, if I am about to post a chapter with a particularly violent or sexual scene would I be allowed to give a warning and then place the chapter into a spoiler? That way people wouldn't have to read the chapter if they didn't want to read the type of content inside it.

I am not exactly sure about this(but posting anyway, lots of time in my hands), but even if a single chapter or a single line has something that is above the current rating, then the rating of the entire fiction should be that of that single scene. At least that's what they do in movies. Even if there's only a teeny tiny bit of a matured scene the entire movie is normally considered inappropriate.
(Even if releasing one chapter with warning is allowed, I don't encourage you to do so. It can disturb your flow, unless you release an alternate version of the scenes maintaining the same flow as the original)

Anyway ignore me, Astinus/bobandbill is your man, he will tell ya what to do.

A warning at the beginning of the chapter would be nice, but as DracoFlare said, changing the rating of your story is even better. However, it's still good to warn readers in case they do feel uncomfortable. Also, I'm pretty sure PC doesn't allow any sort of sexual scenes, aka smut fics, so if you're planning on sexual scenes, it's best that they're implied rather than fully described. Otherwise, you could get banned. Violence is acceptable, though.

And I don't like reading anything in spoilers, but that's just my annoyance more than anything.

It was really just an example, I am writing about a wartime Kanto and there will be violence and death throughout which the main character is pulled into. It obviously wouldn't be every chapter so I was just checking about it here.

I was reading over the rules and the other questions and found nothing in regards to interactive stories, so I'd like to ask if it's okay to write and post those here? By interactive stories, I mean writing a segment (chapter), posting it with questions or whatever at the end, and having the readers make choices as to where they'd like the story to go. Essentially, I'm talking about writing the equivalent of a fanfiction 'choose-your-own-adventure' type story. Is that all right?

[Golden Pikachu]

I am 8 years old and a huge Pokemon fan. I have an idea for a new game, but I don't know where to go to get someone to make it. Can you help me?

[bobandbill]

You don't ask for ideas for games here as this section is for writing stories... you're better off checking the game development section. Note people there are usually working on their own projects already though.

[Astinus]

Rules have been updated! I removed the section about applying ratings to your story because no one does that. Just warn for anything that will bother readers.
