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.

Goldeen can change its gender from male to female.

Daenerys, Mar 2014: Wow, never heard that theory before. If it's possible for some fish, and Goldeen is based off some similar kind of fish, it could be. However, not inside the game lore of course. Because there, genders are very much set. It's more likely that...

Pokemon are magic

ORegan, May 2014: That would require lesser Pokemon to be alreadybe in existance in this metaphorical "Garden of Mewden" prior to the pink furball's creation and Mew would therefore not have any genetic connection to any of them.

Are Pokemon as intelligent as humans, or animals?
