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.

Pokemarts

Rivvon, Apr 2019: Whether separated or combined, the Centers and Marts had the same interior anyways, so combining them was a really good choice for parsing down unnecessary things and making room for other buildings. There are still some locations with a mall or...

Which game has the best early Pokémon selection?

Fairy, Apr 2019: I'm gonna have to say BW. Right off the gate at like Route 1 you can find Scraggy and Audino, and if you go back with the rod you can get Feebas. Then Route 2 has like, Purrloin and Blitzle iirc. Not a terrible line up imo!

How would you feel about A New Generation with only New Pokemon?

Rivvon, Apr 2019: I'd love it save for the lack of ability to transfer older Pokémon in the post-game. I loved how BW included only new Pokémon; I like using new ones each gen anyways, so I don't get bored with the same team over and over and over again, so BW gave...

Effort Values

colours, Apr 2019: I only focus on EV Training during the post-game. It's really not worth it during the main story due to having your Pokemon's EVs messed up by fighting (insert evil team here)'s grunts anyway and random trainers.

A "small" wish I have for the inevitable Gen 4 Remakes.

_pheebee, Apr 2019: That seems logical. It often seems remakes come round when the original are obsolete, and not playable physically on current consoles/handheld, or unable to connect to current gen (physically). Gen 3 removed compatibility with Gen 1/2 Gen 4...

Whine about your playthroughs

Pokemon and Digimon Crossover game

Pokemon Generation 1

Gl1tchedShad0ws, Apr 2019: No more Kanto remakes. Seriously. We have enough as is. And a Kanto remake for the WII U? That system is long past dead man, plus, they already made it for the Switch with Let's Go. So, no more Kanto remakes for a while. :shaking-head-no:

Worst Pokémon game?

(2 pages)
Palamon, Apr 2019: Pokemon Dash. Horrible game. You could only race as Pikachu, the 3d models were ps2 era mukty, and the controls were horrible. The game can also be beaten within minutes. It's just not fun and a waste of a spinoff game.

What was your favorite generation to play?

Fritz, Apr 2019: Gen 3, because RSE has a great storyline and some great soundtracks to go with it. Only real downside to Gen 3 is the lack of the Physical/Special split between moves, as that was first introduced in Gen 4.

Synchronize event pokemons

The curious case of Meltan and melmetal.

colours, Mar 2019: The Ultra Beasts are also "regionless". They originate in Ultra Space, not in the Alola region proper. Though I suppose if you're going with origin, then Gen 8 wasn't really a thing yet when Meltan was revealed so I'd say it's moreso Gen 7.

Pokemon that were surprising useful to you
