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.

Pokemon Center Shop?

Fairy, Dec 2021: Not to mention anything you get from the internet has a pretty high percentage of being fake, unless you’re buying from legitimate sources. Make a friend from Japan and pay them to send you stuff, it’s the honest way around the nonsense.

Potential for Pokémon to cross over with one of Nintendo's IPs

What's with the connection between stat changes and mist/fog/clear body/etc?

Nah, Dec 2021: Maybe there's not any real reason. Or maybe it's the sort of thing that's derived from Japanese language/culture/folklore and only makes sense if you're familiar with that. But I don't really know.

What was your favorite Pokémon growing up?

Sweet Serenity, Jan 2022: My favorite Pokémon growing up was always Starmie, mainly because of the anime and Misty using it. I thought it was very interesting. Then, when I started playing the games, I found that Starmie was great in the games as well, so it was great for me.
