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.

Writing out a battle?

Sgt Shock, Oct 2009: A good tip for writing a battle is to keep the battle at a good pace that is appropriate. It is okay fo the trainers to not call out every single attack (in dialogue) and remember, there is more to a pokemon battle in fan fiction than just moves....

Maybe I should post a fic, but I'm still new.

Shen, Nov 2009: You could replace the swear words with something silly to add a sense of humour to the situation, but that might ruin a serious situation. It isn't really hard to play around swear words though. "You son of a shiny"

A question on some plot/writing choices.
