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 do you think most main series games have no father figure?

pkmin3033, Feb 2020: Because stereotypical Japanese culture in media has mothers as stay-at-home wives and fathers as workaholics who spend more time at their desk than anywhere else. Their fathers are just always at work, and when they DO come home from the office, the...

Do you use Mystery Gift/Event Pokémon?

Janp, Aug 2020: I've used Munchlax that was given during SM launch, just to keep tradition of using Snorlax in every region alive. Otherwise, I box them and keep them for collection purposes.

How many Pokémon do you use during a playthrough?

BlueMew1512, Sep 16: I prefer only going for 6 at a time. Mainly because it was a pain to grind everyone in the earlier games and it kind of stuck even after Exp All came on the scene.

Favourite Held Item?

Pokémon Home/Box/Transporter with Heartgold/SS???

ShyRayq, Apr 2020: You can't use a Gen 4 game with transporter. You need a Gen 5 game. You would first need to transfer the pokemon you want to your White/2 games using a 2nd DS/3DS. If you don't have another system, you can't transfer them unless you hack your 3ds.
