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.

Where is the best place to buy Pokemon stuffy toys?

colours, Oct 2018: you couldn't check on the pokemon center website for one (I'm assuming you mean plushies herE)? As for large Pikachu plushes, it really depends on which version of Pikachu you're looking for, and I advise you look around there, as well.

Pokémon you want to see get more merchandise

Brendino, Nov 2018: I know why the Porygon family doesn't have as much merch as some other Pokemon (especially the later 2 evolutions), but I'd definitely like to see more than just a couple of pins from like 5 years ago.

If you could add a new type into pokemon what would it be?
