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.

Dual Types

SunflowerLady, Feb 2020: Hmm...I like ice types they are pretty rare..in my opinion..not a whole lot of ice types out there....Ice/Ghost would be amazing to me. There's only one pokemon with that type. Also one fire/ice type...which is Darmanitan....pretty cool.:)

Favourite Held Item?

Brendino, Feb 2020: Even though it's a lot easier to make money in the newer games, I still always have the Amulet Coin attached to someone in my party, and always make sure to have them in for at least one turn in important battles to double that prize money.

Is Pokemon a bad franchise?

Megan, Feb 2020: I agree that on a superficial level the games have remained the same. You still get gyms and you still get evil teams and rivals. Those were part of the core mechanics in gen 1 and they still are in gen 8. However, in regards to major changes the...

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.
