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.

When Pokemon 'faint' is it about losing the will to keep fighting or getting KO'ed?

Hidden Power, May 2013: They faint because if they died they couldn't be used again and the history would end. Fainting means that it has no energy left to battle. It has still energy to use HM's, to breath, to eat, to poop etc.

If Pikachu didn't exist who would be the main Pokémon?

Cassiopeiia, Apr 2013: Eevee would be a decent choice, but it's also rather plain with its normal typing and all. Just by itself, it doesn't represent the diversity of Pokémon very well. Marill would be a great mascot I think. Or Jynx.

Shouldn't HP be closely related to defenses?

Lolcatcomics, Apr 2013: having high HP means that you need a lot of damage to do you in. having high Defense means that each hit does less damage. i've often thought that having a high-hp pokemon with no defense would make it a good punching bag. i was wrong.
