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.

Can Pokemon feel?

antemortem, Jan 2014: I think it goes without saying that Pokemon are based off of real animals which do have feelings and emotions, and in the anime they are depicted as having emotional bonds with humans and sometimes the attacks that opposing Pokemon unleash on them...

Loose-ends in Pokemon

Nah, Dec 2013: Oh, right. But that's basically what Slowbro/Slowking is; a Slowpoke with a changed Shellder attached. Though you are right, they could change the method of evolution to match up with the dex entries.
