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.

Obtaining Used Items in Red/Blue Virtual Console Again

TwilightBlade, Apr 14: 8F arbitrary code execution involves glitching "X Special" item in your bag as well as obtaining specific Pokemon (Kangaskhan, level 100 Pidgey with 233 HP, etc). ACE offers endless possibilities: generating Pokemon, making them shiny when...

Which are your favourite sprites in Pokémon Red and Blue?

Rock_Salazar, Feb 6: I wholeheartedly agree. It's the main reason I dislike playing red and blue, and why I prefer yellow despite it having some problems. I wish there was a rom hack of red and blue that changed the sprites to yellow.

Getting all Kanto starters for Yellow

Solarin52, Jan 25: Pokemon Yellow is the only game where you can get all 3 starters just from playing through the story. It was always like a ritual to get all 3 and use them. Me personally, I never liked Venusaur because it's just boots cheeks in the early gens. But...

I find these games very frustrating

Solez, Jan 15: I think the main frustration in Gen 1 is the limited bag space - that's the one thing that makes me grind my teeth every so often. HMs were an issue for several games to come, so I don't lay that squarely at the door of Red/Blue/Yellow/Green... But...

Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow could get a C rating in Japan in future re-releases!

FirePuppy, Nov 16: They would by force, and law, if that Game Corner isn't fully modified. After all, gambling is gambling, and that is an automatic C to me.
