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)

Is mega evolution is a rip off from Digimon?

Duck, Oct 7: Unlikely? Like, while Digimon is technically younger than Pokémon by like a year, Digimon began as a "Tamagotchi for boys" whereas Pokémon was always about collecting monsters, and that heritage shows in the animes. If anything, I'd say that...

Is Pokemon running outo of ideas?

Venia Silente, Oct 6: Definitively not running out of ideas IMO. Actually I would say that they are giving us back pending ideas, sort of. Farigiraf is already a closer connection to the original Girafarig concept from the G2 betas, for example, and "Pokémon battles on...

Should the series have gyms that don't focus on a single type?

pianoten, Sep 27: Imho pokemon got way too easy. Last challenging fight I can remember is the fight against cynthia from shining pearl/diamond. Zhere you could really see that they implemented some competetive elements (like holded items)

Whats the most missed potential for an evolution?

Do you like the grass/fire/water starter type pattern?

colours, Sep 19: mostly indifference. it'd be nice if they were to change it up, but as already pointed out, that's unlikely to happen. but it's not a big deal to me either way.

Which region had the best legendaries/mythicals?

Janp, Sep 9: When it comes to design and lore, I really like Johto. I think Lugia and Ho-Oh have both cool design that's still pretty down to earth. Hoenn's legendaries are also great, probably my 2nd favourite set. I don't really like Sinnoh's legendaries....

Pokégirls interested in science

Has your favorite type changed over time?

Which Pokémon do you feel that needs an evolution?

Do you like the Pokémon based on your favorite animal?
