PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

So please note that some of your existing images may break at some point in the future. We recommend making an IMGUR account if you plan to continue using IMGUR.

Fic idea: how to portray TMs

Ninja Caterpie, Dec 2008: The answer to TMs, HMs and general impossible-stuff in the Pokémon world - the Pokédex. :P You stick the TM (in my fic it's a NDS-cartridge sized thing) into the Pokédex/DS/GBA/Pokégear/PokéNav and it goes pow and transfers stuff into the Pogeyman...

Concept in the works

JX Valentine, Dec 2008: To this, I respond with this. On a serious note, let me get this straight. You want us to come up with characters for you, you're inserting mature concepts (which may or may not actually be allowed on FFNet anyway, depending on what "mature"...

How smart are pokemon?

Lana., Dec 2008: Pokemon's intelligences, I think, vary. Think of Rhyhorn, a Pokemon said not to be quite smart. (Rhinos themselves aren't too bright) And then we have Lapras, who can understand human speech. I think it was said Lucario could also understand...

About Mewthree...

burningfoot, Dec 2008: It does depend on how the writer uses it. Because MewThree is linked with Mew and Mewtwo you have to have it that way in the FanFic otherwise it will make the whole thing terrible. For example a double-headed Rayquaza couldn't feature without there...
