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.

How did turning off AR mode solve this problem?

Pokemon go killing battery life

Neltharion83, Oct 2016: One little mistake i made: For one of my trips to a nest, i only brought a short cable, the idea was to just carry the phone and the power bank in the same hand. Bad idea. The rather compact and small 10k power bank is 3 times heavier than the...

Egg issues
