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.

When the Spin-offs Influence the Games

Warugaji, Dec 2014: Sometimes the main Pokemon games are influenced by various spin-off franchises (Anime, TCG, Pinball etc). For example; I'm pretty sure the art now used for potions, super potions etc (in-game) was originally from Pokemon's original TGC run (the...

Need help creating a team

classicpaul64, Dec 2014: I would say to find a Pokemon that can be seen as "weak" by the other people in the story, and by some sheer determination, is able to conquer the opponents. Sort of how Ash's Pikachu has lasted this long without having to evolve.
