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.

Nicknames for Glaceon

Amore, May 21: The only one I’ve owned is named Glacia after the Hoenn E4 member, without whom I would have probably played through Emerald without noticing the Ice type even existed haha (fun trivia: in Japanese games the species name is the same as Glacia’s!) ...

Did you ever use strategy in your Pokemon Playthoughs?

(2 pages)
Synerjee, Sep 2013: I never really had much strategy except moves that cover each Pokemon's individual weaknesses. No helping moves like Attract and Toxic either, save for Quiver Dance on Volcarona. I just use straight out brute strength coupled with type matchups to...

Why is Hugh's Design so Similar to the Male Ace Trainer from HG and SS?

Favorite Moves

Boilurn, Sep 2013: Scald is my favorite damage-dealing move, as it's a great combination of uniqueness and realism. It's the only water-type moves that causes a burn, and has quite an obvious name for that. It also has a fairly large distribution, giving it to almost...

type chart confusion

Pokemon Light Platinum Whitescreen Gameboid

Real world affecting pokemon?

Amore, Aug 2013: Like everyone's basically said - if Syria escalates further into a war featuring outside players (other than Al Qaida, i.e. the US) the only way everyone's really affected is if you know someone in the military. Pokémon X&Y will be fine.

The Question

Poll
EJ Nero, Aug 2013: Bulbasaur was my choice in LeafGreen, Squirtle in FireRed, and I can't remember who I chose when I played Blue for a short while. The first generation though was the only gen where I originally preferred the grass over water starter.

Worst typing that a Pokemon can have

(2 pages)
Altair, Aug 2013: The types I usually avoid using in-game are Bug/Grass, Fire/Rock and Rock/Ground. Their weaknesses are just too common. I like my sturdy types such as Steel, Dark and Water types.
