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.

Isn't it cruel to use Wall Pokemon in battles?

Polar Spectrum, Dec 2014: Read the thread title and wondered why this was in this section; but noooow I see. I see now hahah. Um, I don't think it is - usually, depending on the pokemon. I'd imagine some pokemon wouldn't mind it much at all. Possibly even enjoy it....

How do you feel about the logo

Tek, Dec 2014: I lol'd so hard at the right hand image. Seriously, the Japanese logos are way cooler IMO. We get the same goofy yellow lettering every time. And they get tons of cool events we never see. Ah muk, I'm just gonna move to Japan.

Need help creating a team

classicpaul64, Dec 2014: I would say to find a Pokemon that can be seen as "weak" by the other people in the story, and by some sheer determination, is able to conquer the opponents. Sort of how Ash's Pikachu has lasted this long without having to evolve.

Creepiest Ever Pokemon?

(3 pages)
TheWilyWeezing, Dec 2014: Well, my idea of creepy is more unintentional, like Throh and Sawk. Their clothes and human poses seem too close to human. Hard to explain, probably uncanny valley.

When the Spin-offs Influence the Games
