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.

Offensive, Defensive, or mixed?

Pokémon Rumble Rush finally releases for iOS

What's up with Pokemon Sleep?

colours, Jul 2019: Going to refrain from making judgment here yet, but all I will say is that this sounds like a very ambitious partner project to GO, which seems like the goal, here.

Hey, You, Pikachu!

Sheep, Jul 2019: ahhh yes yes yes!! This was one of my favorite spinoff games ever, and I was absolutely addicted when I was younger. Taking care of Pikachu in a more immersive and realistic (3D) setting was just so exciting at the time. Man though, was the voice...

What if spinoff games from here on out were to moved to mobile?

Pyrax, Aug 2019: It'd be a wasted opportunity not to have another Ranger, PMD, Snap, Pokepark, etc for people who bought a Switch for SwSh. Think of all the potential hype and profits made from say, a Colosseum/XD remake alone.

Why do you think that Pokkén Tournament and Pokkén Tournament DX were never released in South Korea?

Brendino, Jul 2019: Despite the fact that they are basically neighbors, I know that South Korea and Japan are pretty different markets when it comes to video games, so maybe the effort of translating the games wasn't worth it? I know that a couple of other recent...

Is there a reason to buy more than one version?

DigitalMewtwo, Jul 2019: Yea the former is usually me. But with the Switch, I'll have to use Pokemon Home to help out with some of it, since it's too expensive to get another Switch.

Incense

Sheep, Jul 2019: I used them as held items back in the RSE days! Found them very useful and equipped them as soon as I got them on my new playthroughs. For breeding purposes later on too, since I was a dex completionist. Feels like I never use them nowadays though....

Easiest Game to Catch Them All

Moves you'd change

What generation do you think had the best games?

What games should I get?

Emilia, Jul 2019: Hrmm.. I'd have to say.. try out Heartgold or Soulsilver? Maybe Black or White? As for spin-offs, I always recommend trying all the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, especially Explorers of Sky.

The Shiny Charm

Maserati777, Jul 2019: I haven’t received the Shiny charm in any game. I have all non legendary Pokemon in Y. But not all legendaries. I kind of like hunting full odds in it without shiny charm so I haven’t been trying to complete it.
