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.

Alex_Among_Foxes, Feb 12: Absol's been my favorite Pokemon since my Nuzlocke of X, I went through most of that run with her as my lead 'mon and was never let down. I liked her so much that I named my dog after her as well. (my Absol's nickname that is lol)

Pokemon you hope get different type variations

Daveslab2022, Oct 2021: I think Gliscor is due some love. He was perfect for a mega and didn’t get one. Wasn’t in gen 8 at all. I’m not sure what type he would be good to change too though. Any thoughts?

Pokemon Staks

Sheep, Oct 2021: Have you managed to locate prices? I did a search and there are active listings on eBay of this same stak going for around $2-3 AU, so even less in USD. So it doesn't seem like it would be worth massively much, unfortunately. :(

When did Pokémon 'peak' for you?

Palamon, Nov 2021: I've never had any less love for the franchise, so I'd say Pokemon definitely hasn't hits its "peak" for me yet. I still love it as much as I did when I found it in 2007.

How much do your family know about Pokémon?
