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.

Da Rulez

Daenerys, Dec 2015: I used to include some RP mechanics in the rules area of my OOC OPs too (like, what's ok and not when capturing pokémon, how death is handled etc) but my latest RP had a rules section looking like this: So I think I'm definitely going towards...

Playing with Genres

Retro Bug, Feb 2016: Fantasy. Fantasy. Fantasy. Give it all to me, I want them allllll. Especially, high fantasy settings. Other than that I always like a mixture of genres as well. Modern day mixed with fantasy, horror mixed with fantasy, I think you get the...

To join, or not to join?

Daenerys, Dec 2015: If there is too much original lore or a too fantasy-ish world, I might actually be deterred from joining. I'm better with universes I know well, or the real world, I think. What I do enjoy seeing is well thought out plot that sounds like my...

Rated G for gangster

Dusty, Oct 2015: T or M for me. I'm sure that you can be creative with lower ratings, but I find it difficult. Most standard pokemon roleplays could probably fit under K, but I find those to be generally boring. I think that creative concepts usually require a...

The burden of interaction

Jauntier, Jan 2016: I am not inclined to joint posts. I do not go seeking to create joint posts, but if someone wants to approach me and cooperate, that's fine. Issue is, you're all strangers to me, so I usually run through questioning to understand what one expected...

Signing up, and then?

jombii, Jan 2016: I think it depends on how the GM wants to handle the story. When it comes down to preference, I want a more pseudosandbox type wherein the GM sets the story, several goals to complete the chapter and move the story forward but there's this whole...

Killers, Manipulators and other Big Bads

gimmepie, Oct 2015: I think this depends a lot on the RP itself more than anything. In sandbox RPs, it's generally a lot easier to have a range of antagonists to deal with whilst in a chapter-based RP it often makes sense to have a more limited number. As you said,...

Established Universes

FireSnow, Oct 2015: I like to have a mix of both personally, whether its an established universe but new characters or a spin-off world with some canon characters in it that way they don't follow a script and we can add to them. My best example for that would be...

Theme songs

SeleneHime, Nov 2015: I typically don't go out of my way to check this box, but lately when I've been working on some big fics and the songs have found the characters. It's nice when it happens because association equals inspiration half the time, but it's not mandatory.

Magic & Superpowers

Dusty, Oct 2015: I think that in general its hard to find a good balance with super power RPs. After all, if someone has the ability of stopping time or something, it becomes easy for that RPer to just write up "Oh, he stopped time and knocked everybody out and won....

Readspeed

gimmepie, Oct 2015: Generally I read a new post in an RP I'm in as soon as I have seen it and have time to look at it. I also tend to read posts in single sittings, but that's not a huge deal since I'm usually a pretty quick reader.

What is the most interesting character you know?

Ice, Oct 2015: I really liked under_score's character in Venice. An elderly banshee who was a really effective murderer, but got extremely high from murder, which made her go out of control. Deceptio's character was really cool too, and I do love Fox's SU too,...

Ice, Sep 2015: In an RP, your characters are bound to rules and limits set by themselves and the world they inhabit. But sometimes it's fun to imagine how a character will do outside it's setting, outside it's confinement. Let's unchain them from their earthly...
