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.

Genre of the week: Historical Fiction

Bay, May 2015: I too don't have too much experience with historical fiction saved for some movies. I did read one historical romance novel that was set around 1700-1800, but that one is very romance focused so that probably doesn't count, haha. Another novel I...

Ignored Pokemon?

Character Originality vs. Face Claiming

SparklingMistral, May 2015: I do a bit of both, actually, but it mainly depends on what I'm writing. For stories, I just sort of picture their appearance in my head and make note of it. I don't really put their appearance with an anime character or anyone famous. If I ever...

Genre of the week: Autobiographies

Show, Don't Tell + Books

Transferring the Pokemon World to the real world - having problems!

Deejaymil, Jun 2015: I've ruled out trains really as a form of travel (although.... maybe) because the time when the story takes place is a momentarily bad one for the human race. Pokemon are being driven mad by something and it's driven the humans back into their...
