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.

Nicknames for Glaceon

Amore, May 21: The only one I’ve owned is named Glacia after the Hoenn E4 member, without whom I would have probably played through Emerald without noticing the Ice type even existed haha (fun trivia: in Japanese games the species name is the same as Glacia’s!) ...

Sorry it's over?

Arylett Charnoa, Mar 2016: When a game is over, it's over. I honestly don't understand this concept of a "post-game." Maybe I'm just used to older games, but I'm perfectly fine with ending a game once I am done with all it has to offer me. Unless it feels like it was cut...

Pokémon passes 200 million sales

Ev training question

Fannie, Mar 2016: Also pay attention to a Pokemon's moveset. Sometimes a Pokemon's better movesets don't match up with it's higher stats. It's up to you to consider what role would be the best for each Pokemon (based on stats AND movepool) and how to achieve that.

Best Way to Complete the Pokedex?

What do you do with your old games?

Sirfetch’d, Mar 2016: I usually give mine away or sell them. I really regret ever giving away my games but after a while I just lose interest and am like "oh i will just emulate it". I will not be getting rid of any of my 3DS games though as I just love them way too much!

Level 100

Sirfetch’d, Mar 2016: I do if I am bored and want a Pokemon to be perfectly trained(level 100, full Evs, etc.) but most of the time, no. After a Pokemon is past level 50 and is usable in wifi battles I generally stop unless I am still training for the main story haha.

Gym Leaders

Getting non-hidden abilities when breeding

Imperator161, Mar 2016: What natures and IVs did you guys get for these? I'm assuming it's random (and not the same for everyone), even though I feel like setting them with locked in stats and natures might be fairer since we can't soft-reset for them.
