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.

Favorite biome?

Imperator161, Sep 2016: I really like fields and forests. Snowy locations are fun, too, though there haven't been that many of them in the games so far. Although I like water types best, I'm not a big fan of water routes, and I dislike caves (perhaps because of the...

Hints to trading found in Pokémon Go code

Arjay, Sep 2016: Hoping this is a precursor for gen 2 Pokémon. If trading is enabled, people should complete their Pokédex faster, and then the game will need all those new Pokémon to keep the interest going. As someone who couldn't give a toss about gyms and IVs...

Let's build some items!

5qwerty, Sep 2016: No, please no. I will uninstall Pokémon. (Also Volcanion will be very happy with this item) Since there's an item that essentially gives the Overcoat ability, we could make one for Bulletproof or something.

How have the games helped you?

How did turning off AR mode solve this problem?

Egg issues

Neltharion83, Sep 2016: No, walking in small circles works, it does not need to be straight lines. It only updates every few minutes. So if the egg needs another 150 meters, so you walk another 150 meters, there will be no immediate effect. Wait a few minutes until the...

Can't find spawn points? Use Ingress map!

Afterglow Ampharos, Sep 2016: I don't really know, I'm literally only using it for seconds at a time to check where clusters of dots are in the area. My first impressions are that it's really complicated RIGHT away instead of being complicated at high-level play like Go is.

jstaylor62, Sep 2016: Actually, there are a lot of mid level Snorlax parked in the Gyms. People hatched them and did not have enough candies to power them up very far. So that will be the nitch for my Machamp. Those are some awesome Machop! I'm afraid to evolve...
