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.

Do you keep up with the series?

ZeoStar, Aug 2021: I don't go out of my way to keep up, but I have social media feeds so I end up finding things out relatively quickly. I also occasionally go through the articles here on pokecommunity.

What shiny do you want, but still haven't gotten?

Zed01, Aug 2021: Mine is a shiny Steelix since it's probably my favorite shiny. And I want it in gens prior to Gen 6, ideally in Gen 4. I never hunted it but I plan to hunt for a shiny Onix when I decide to restart my Heart Gold so that I can use a shiny Steelix on...

What main series Pokémon game do you think is the easiest?

(2 pages)
BoulderSmolder, Aug 2021: On a standard playthrough, I think XY and ORAS are the easiest. For a challenge run like a Nuzlocke, I'd give it to Red and Blue. Not Yellow, because boss movesets are actually decent in that game.

Getting Lost in an Area/Getting Stuck

How good are you?

Mizumanta, Aug 2021: Roughly 7/10. I do not do calculations on damage ranges. And I dont know off the top of my head if a move will definitely do 93% damage from full health. But i am good with strategies and using unconventional moves to disrupt my opponent. Though...

Any ideas how to fix my team?

Mizumanta, Aug 2021: Torterra probably goes down easily because you invested in attack. Get its defenses up instead, and it will probably be able to get its *snicker* rocks off. It also has access to leech seed and stockpile along with synthesis. You would have it stick...

berries!!

Sheep, Aug 2021: I used them often in the early days of GSC and RSE! But that was only at first ahaha. Later on I got lazy and stopped equipping them. They'd be super useful in challenge runs though, but I don't tend to find myself using them much anymore,...

What makes fans who've stopped playing return to the series?

sickanddullandplain, Aug 2021: I skipped XY and ORAS, came back for Sun/Moon, but haven't bothered with Sword/Shield. I think the difference with Gen 7 for me was that it just looked like a much better game than any of the Gen 6 ones. I think that, over time, as I've grown up...

Are third versions dead?

Fritz, Sep 2021: I would imagine third versions will not be coming back, especially now that Game Freak are adding DLCs to the main series. Wouldn't make much sense to go back to having third versions.

Abilities you'd like to see more of

The Little Details you Notice in Pokemon games

Most overpowered type in games?

Pokemon games with the most/least replay value?

Make a different starter type triangle
