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.

Why does Prof. Tree assume three trainers won't pic the same Pokémon?

RedWing, Feb 2013: Meh, to me, the idea of a Trainer's first Pokemon giving it a little bit of trouble is a more interesting route. Then again, I'm a bit of a sadist and enjoy having my characters deal with troubles very early on in their adventures.

Gender Questions

Toutebelle, Feb 2013: 1. When writing a fiction how do you decide gender? Is it ever symbolic, is it random, or is it whatever yours is? It depends. Usually I have male leads since I'm a guy myself. But I have female leads too - I like strong female characters. I...
