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 Evil Team

Brendino, Dec 2019: I enjoyed Neo Team Plasma, since they weren't trying to fool anyone at that point- they were being evil for the sake of being evil. Even original Team Plasma was good too though, with the plan of trying to get everyone to release their Pokemon, so...

Gen4 remake speculation

(2 pages)
Soaring Sid, Dec 2019: I completely agree. If they would wait a few years, it would give the time to work, think, develop and not rush the game. If they decide to bring the Sinnoh remakes next year, it will be trouble, at least in my opinion. Sword and Shield are not bad...

HeroLinik, Dec 2019: The Aether plot twist wasn't very well-executed, if anything. It was pretty apparent that you knew that they weren't what they seemed. The intro cutscene shows Lillie escaping from some Aether grunts, and they were sporting evil slasher smiles. When...

So, what's the next big battle mechanic? [Megas, Z-Moves, Dynamax, ...]

Thomas Wiencek, Dec 2019: I know, possibly for the ninth Pokémon Generation, Dynamega and Gigantamega Evolutions might be a good big battle mechanic. You, know Dynamax and Gigantamax plus Mega Evolution is equal to Dynamega and Gigantamega Evolutions. That's all.

How would you make the Ice type better?

bobandbill, Dec 2019: Water resists Ice, but Ice doesn't resist water. Adjusting that so they both resist each other, or both are neutral against each other, is something that'd make more sense to me.

Nah, Dec 2019: It stands for "Pokerus", which is basically some rare thing that doubles the amount of EVs a Pokemon with Pokerus gains from beating other Pokemon. You can spread it to other Pokemon too.

Which kind of Pokémon transformation do you think you would prefer: Mega Evolutions, Dynamaxes, Gigantamaxes, Any Other New Ideas, Unsure, or None?

Poll
Bahamut, Jan 2020: Megas were the coolest. They bought us some of the best designs and made some Pokémon stronger. I don't vare for the rest. I want to see fusing Pokémon again, but with a new twist. I want it to be similar to DNA Evolution from Digimon.

Could We See VR Gaming in Pokemon in the Near Future?

Meganium, Jan 2020: I'd say a few more years. VR is still working through the technology world, plus many of us can't really afford a VR console just yet. Nintendo took a step with their VR Labo, but I won't be surprised if they build a VR set with VR Pokemon.
