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.

If I could change the learnsets...

Hikamaru, May 2013: I'd probably give Flare Blitz to Flareon so it has a move that can really take advantage of that great Attack stat. Also, as for moves that a Pokemon can learn but shouldn't I'd say Doduo/Dodrio shouldn't have learned Fly cos they don't even have...

Pokemon Colosseum:Keeping the Starters

Sirfetch’d, May 2013: I kept them both my first playthrough, and then only Espeon in my other ones. I just find Umbreon a little too weak, and that game was actually tough. Both though did a good job on my first time playing!

Moves that need re-typing

ISNorden, May 2013: Hmmm. Aura Sphere as a Fighting-type move, an exception to the "Fighting = Physical" rule? Maybe; if Psycho Cut can be the one Physical move in its type, then it's plausible for the opposite to happen. Strength as Fighting-type? I'm behind...

Certain types.

alisaie, May 2013: Water most definitely. There are a few other types, like Electric, Flying, Grass, and Fire, in which I almost always have on my team but I can remember one or two occurrence where I did not have a Pokemon of these types on my team.

Mew in Pokemon Red/Blue

Shadow Lugia.

The most useful abilities?

Sydian, Jun 2013: Pickup in Ruby and Sapphire is amazing. It's nice in other games too, but in RS specifically, it wasn't changed to the ratios we have now. You could find Rare Candies with level 4 Zigzagoon really easy. So you just hoard a bunch of Ziggies and let...

Starting New Games

Satoshi Ookami, Jun 2013: Completing the game (meaning beating E4) takes about 20-40 hours depending on grinding. Then I just do some after game features which takes my play time over 70 hours but not the initial completion of game.

New stats, please!
