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.

Ho-oh or Lugia?

(3 pages)
Rock_Salazar, Jan 18: Ho-oh's design and theme are the reasons why I always preferred it over Lugia. Over the years however, I prefer Lugia a little more because it defines what a legendary pokemon should be. It slumbers at the bottom of the ocean and only comes out when...

The Battle Tower

Sheep, Nov 21: This one was ridiculously hard. It was a miracle if I made it to the second opponent and made it to the third maybe, like, once. They were so overpowered and wrecked me so often that I never really tried again whenever I replayed Crystal later on. :x

Kris and Lyra

Poll
bez850, Aug 17: For me, it's Kris hands down! I've always wondered why TPCi never brought her back. Not even as an NPC in later games. It's a bit annoying that they haven't at least given her a proper send off for her role in the franchise.
