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)

Could plans for the 25th anniversary have already started?

DragonKing48, Jun 2020: Exactly. Don't hold your breath for something brand new and revolutionary, without ridiculous flaws and mindless errors. Probably a remake of another Gen with more new Kanto forms. Or a brand new game with MORE kanto forms.

Pokemon go extinct?

Lunar, May 2020: I suppose it depends on the different canons, like in the anime there's the example of the baby Nidoqueen and plenty of times there's been several of the same legendary Pokemon, starters etc, so those Pokemon seem fine in the anime/manga! In terms...

Amore, May 2020: Someone's already pointed it out but Druddigon's design looks like it would have been rejected from Gen I. I also despise the appearances of Jynx and Smoochum. One's just a weird humanoid horror show and the other is trying way too hard to be cute.
