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.

Favorite Pokemon

(4 pages)
Alex_Among_Foxes, Feb 12: Absol's been my favorite Pokemon since my Nuzlocke of X, I went through most of that run with her as my lead 'mon and was never let down. I liked her so much that I named my dog after her as well. (my Absol's nickname that is lol)

How Shiny Pokémon Could Be Fixed

Palamon, Aug 2018: Hmm, I don't know about this. Alternate colored shinies sounds cool, but regular shiny Pokemon would probably lose a lot of value. I don't shiny hunt, but imagine if there were newer, rarer shinies than the regular ones... hunters would definitely...

Dumbest Pokemon Urban Legend you Believed in?

Palamon, Aug 2018: I also believed the B+Down urban legend. Also that saying "gotcha" into the microphone would make it easier to catch a Pokemon....I read it in those Beckett Pokemon magazine, so eleven year old me actually believed it. Boy, was I fooled.

Problem with types

LusoTrainer, Jul 2018: Why would it need to be destroyed? The fact that steel is molded by fire makes its weakness very logical. Because the whole advantage of steel as a property is gone in that 'weakened' state.

Pokémon Survey by Anthropomorphism, Vol. 1 - Kantonian Evolution Families

Thomas Wiencek, Jul 2018: Here's a survey for you. The following survey is in which you take a good review at these Kantonian evolution family and non-evolving Pokémon and then see whether or not they're capable of anthropomorphism. Good luck. :wink-right-eye:

Reminder

Pokemon that are unconventionally cute

VisionofMilotic, Jul 2018: I think the pidove line is kinda cute with the heart-shaped crest. The design is a little simplistic and too close to a normal pidgeon for most fans, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. He still incites a desire in me to want to nurture this...

Are the Evolution stones natural or man-made?

Brendino, Jul 2018: My gut instinct was that they were natural, but having designs on the insides of them makes me say they're artificial... to an extent. Maybe they're part of a larger formation like the mossy and icy rocks that evolve Eevee, and there's just enough...

Unopened 1996 box ?? Price

Palamon, Jun 2018: A year ago, I'd say "people are selling Pokemon Red/green for over seven hundred dollars on amazon, that's outrageous". But, tbh, an unopened copy of the original games? Probably still not worth a lot, Heart Gold/Soul silver never opened and with...

Ugliest pokemon trainers

Enpatsu Shakugan, Jun 2018: Right, subjective. Meaning they exist, just that it's different among different people. Not sure the point you're making that them being subjective terms means this topic isn't valid for sharing anyone's subjective opinion on it.

Why is Pokemon the way it is now?
