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 Theory:Nincada is a puppet

Typhon, Nov 2013: I see what you mean. I'm guessing that when Nincada evolves, it leaves a shell behind. My guess is that a ghost or some sort is inhabiting it, therefore it had 1 HP, and cannot be hit by physical moves too. It practically makes sense. This theory is...

Any reasons why all fairies don't have Levitate?

bobandbill, Nov 2013: Same goes for other non-Fairy Pokemon. Magnemite continues to be cursed with anti-levitation despite the fact it clearly is levitating. Or Geodude. Stuff like this just doesn't translate into actual abilities for every Pokemon.
