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.

The Partner Pokemon in Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

Fritz, Sep 2019: I chose Pachirisu at the start of the game when I last played through Shadows of Almia, since I liked it's Poké Assist better than the other starters' assists. I think Cranidos was the partner who I used most frequently.

What if Pokémon wasn't a turn-based game?

Venia Silente, Sep 2019: Pokémon is fine as a turn-based engine. Maybe it could be faster about some things, but in the end I feel it should stay turn-based. Alternatively, a system like FFX's CTB or some of its variants as seen in FF Tactics would be a nice spice-up of...

Is Pokémon your favorite game?
