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.

Difficulties finding people to play multiplayer

Do you want BW remakes?

(2 pages)
Iceshadow3317, Jan 22: That is true. I completely forgot about Johto and don't know why. And yeah there have been rumors for a few years about a new Johto game. I do think BW would be better though given we have seasons and everything in BW which they would probably keep.

In battles, sprites were always animated.

भाग्य ज्योति, Mar 2021: The best thing of Pokemon BW is the sprites and that's what makes it unique among other games. Personally speaking, Nintendo should have continued this trend instead of switching to 3D sprites, and we all know how worse were USUM models.
