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.

What are your goals?

Shrew, Aug 2013: My usual goals in each game: 1. Beat story mode with a team of 6. 2. Succeed in all of the battle facilities. 3. Complete sidequests, such as legendaries. I "caught them all" in Diamond, but it's not really worth doing over in every single...

Replacing Normal with Fairy

Shrew, Jul 2013: Whenever I hear people complaining about fairies, I point out that fairies, in a sense, have always existed. In generation 1, it was obvious that "normal" types like Clefairy, Jigglypuff, and Chansey were distinct from normal types like Tauros,...

What would you give up in exchange for more moves?

Sirfetch’d, Jul 2013: Nothing! I think 4 moveslots is ideal as it gives you a chance to make a moveset without having too many moves. If you were given the option for 5 or 6 moves it would ruin things competitively as you could just slap on moves to cover everything.

What kind of player are you?

(2 pages)
DothThouEvenHoist?, Jul 2013: Don't really care about EV's and IV's until I beat the game, since it would be too easy with a 31 IV's in all stats, and 252 in the desired stats. For the story, it depends. I'm usually serious with picking what team I want to use for the game.

fainting and friendship with Pokémon

Tsutarja, Jul 2013: I always carry Revives with me to ensure that my Pokémon, in most cases, never faint. And if they ever do, I immediately go to a Pokémon Center and heal them and just walk/bike around quite a bit to gain their friendship back.

feeling of sadness when your Pokémon faints

Sirfetch’d, Jul 2013: I don't get sad, but upset because usually it is a crit that will make them faint, as I'd use a full-restore or switch to prevent otherwise. I don't get saddened though as I'll just heal them right up and assume they would still love me n_n

Game with all the Regions?

PlatinumDude, Jul 2013: This concept, while cool, wouldn't actually work because there's only so much space in a game cart that the developers can work with, and including all 5-6 regions in 1 cart would be hard, considering the large amount of data.

Should unreasonable requests be restricted?
