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.

pokemon

Your first ever game.

(2 pages)
XVanitasX, Apr 20: Silver. Don't remember exactly when but I got it as a gift from one of my aunts. However, the game that really made me love the series and the first one I bought on my own was Ruby, which is why gen 3 is really nostalgic for me still.

Pokemon Game Boxart

RadEmpoleon, Sep 2020: I like the box art for Sun and Moon because if you put them next to each other, the sun and moon line up with each other. Can we all agree that the box art for SwSh is the worst? It’s just a picture of the doggos with a solid red/blue background.

Just... why exactly is Dual chop a Dragon move?

Palamon, Jun 2020: Because it literally used to be a signature move of a Dragon type. That's it. That's the tea. That's why it's a dragon type attack. Also, the energy is purple, and purple is associated with the Dragon type, so.

Pokémon Snap sequel, Mega Evolutions coming to GO
