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.

Region Changing for Vivillon / eShop Question

Amore, Mar 15: An update on this, for future reference - all the naysayers like, you can just change the region back again (although I didn’t attempt to open eShop with the region changed) and everything works fine!

Question About Adding More PC Boxes:

How should I raise my Charmander?

Squirtkipfan01, Sep 9: Largely a preference thing; physical vs special, which mega evolution do you have, do you wanna use status moves, etc. that said if dragon claw is your main thing in pretty sure theres a TM or its learnable from the move relearner once evolved

Archie and Maxie's new designs in ORAS

My Perspective on XY - Were They Really That Bad?

Theories about why Looker washed up with amnesia at Battle Resort (ORAS)

_confused_piplup_, Apr 2022: pretty much what Nah wrote about the changes. However imo White 2 is an upgrade not a downgrade, while gen 7 is a downgrade. That's just my opinion tho, because I didn't like gen 7. About Looker, I wouldn't overthink it. Meeting Looker after the...

In ORAS, can you capture Kyogre in the Delta Episode if you made it faint earlier in the game during the storm?

Devalue, Apr 2022: Should be there regardless of how long since last clearing the Elite Four. May continuing beating the Elite Four to respawn it, if you defeat it again. Stops respawning once you catch it.
