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.

Is 10 too young to embark on a Pokemon journey?

(2 pages)
NyxShooter, Aug 2013: 10 looks too early, I think that you should have at least 14 and up, because it provides a better perspective about teenage life, and its casual for a teenage to have a lot of drama, so drama would be a good aspect to have in a fan fiction as well.

How Do PokéCenters heal large Pokémon

Elaitenstile, Aug 2013: Depends. If it's a Reshiram or Kyurem, chances are, they won't get caught in a Pokéball by a trainer, or even if that's the case (like Tobias or someone else), the legendary Pokémon would just heal itself, it won't need special care, after all, it's...

Would A Pokémon's Intent affect the outcome of an attack?
