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.

So I noticed something about the Sinnoh starters.

Is Deoxys Still Mythical

Yue Han, Oct 2018: Well you could apply that logic to Clefairy, Elgyem and other 'alien' Pokmon who are not Mythical. - I'd say Deoxys probably is still mythical for the banning reason already listed above.

Where do you see the Pokemon franchise in 10 years?

Which physical appearance of Pokémon would you prefer?

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

Palamon, Aug 2018: Cosmic and Sound type are the only new types I want, tbh. A lot of the alien Pokemon, such as Starmie/Elgyem could be put into the Cosmic typing if it were to ever be made. As for Sound type, I just think we need it.
