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.

AshMelody, Apr 2009: I like Serebii for its complete items listings, but Bulbapedia has awesome articles of the characters in any series. Too bad Bulbapedia is down frequently. =( I voted for the latter, since I browse Bulbapedia more than Serebii.

Life spans and darker themes

Sky Form Shaymin vs. Origin Form Giratina

Poll
The Scientist, Apr 2009: Skymin, no contest. STAB + Air Slash + flinch hax = Giratina LOCKDOWN. It's not so much about chance, but about how many times each party will attack. Giratina's base defenses mean nothing if he gets attacked twice as often as he attacks.
