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.

Moves you'd change

Percy, Jul 2019: aegislash has a move called king's shield. its some cheese, especially if you're running a more physical kind of team. almost made me rage quit since I was stuck with one pokemon thats mostly physical.

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

colours, Jul 2019: All I have to say to this is that SM became my first ever Pokemon games where I actually got the Shiny Charm. So Gen 7 gets my vote.

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.

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.

Decision making in battles

ZeoStar, Jul 2019: This is exactly what competitive battling has caused me to do, so now when playing in game against the AI I strongly overthink. It helps sometimes, because I know when it's safe to conserve or switch. But for example yesterday I was fighting a...

Insufferable know-it-all

Sarah Saved the Game!

Pokémon Masters Thoughts and Predictions
