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.

Dynamax, Z-power, or Mega Evolution ?

Poll
ZeoStar, Sep 2020: Mega Evolution. It gave so many forgotten Pokemon relevance. I found it almost impossible to play competitively with z-moves. In game it's fun. Dynamax is just boring to me.

what pokémon would you have as a pet?

Uecil, Sep 2020: I'm going to say Vulpix, just because it's my favourite. Pikachu came to mind because my cat has a tendency to act like one, minus the ability to use electricity. But! It would def come down between those two.

The type removal game

PageEmp, Sep 2020: If anything, the closest I can see in this situation is Rock either being removed or combined with Ground. Also I assume you probably were tired around the last part of your post but Heliolisk being Bug, really? Why not pure Electric or part Ground?

Sawk Or Throh

Poll
PageEmp, Sep 2020: Sawk. I think it looks better and it’s pretty useful in battle. Even though the Throh I had in my Shield nuzrun was pretty good until he randomly died to Sheer cold, I never really liked it as a mon in general.

Theory

If Chase/Elaine were to appear in other games, what Pokémon do you think game devs would give them to showcase the character as a NPC?

PageEmp, Sep 2020: Maybe they will return in the future games to impregnate random NPCs, rob a bank, and then commit mass genocide on a random town before jumping off a cliff.
