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.

What is wrong with Dialga?

Skull Kid, Jun 2013: Yes, Dialga is a god pokemon. Yes, Dialga is supposed to be very powerful. But this is also a game, and it has to be reasonable. At that point in the game your pokemon are level 50+, so for them to just throw a level 100 Dialga at your face with...

Underrated

Pinkie-Dawn, Jun 2013: But Charizard has received a lot of hate in the past couple of years, especially on 4chan, because of its tier status on Smogon and the existence of Stealth Rock. Therefore, I consider him to be underrated.

Why do people call it 'Pokeman'?
