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.

1st & 2nd GEN: Bugs/Glitches/Exploits

Poll (2 pages)

Shanedmuir, Mar 2017: I agree when I say that the OST is a very important component of the experience you have with a game. I do believe that X and Y / ORAS's soundtrack was a huge step up from Gen IV and V's soundtrack. Personally, my favorites from X and Y are the...

Plates

Maya, Apr 2017: I did try to collect them where I could, and I experimented with a few. I think it's a shame they were so specific to arceus; I'd like to see some other pokemon or even legendaries whose type could change in this way.

A new version of ORAS with Battle Frontier in

xXLunaSolXx, Mar 2017: In an interview with Junichi Masuda he said why Battle Frontier wasn't in ORAS it's because only a small number of players would enjoy this feature. He got it so wrong, many people didn't enjoy Battle Maison as a facility. >_>

When do we get Marshadow?

Lunar, Mar 2017: Yeah considering the movie we're getting that effectively goes back to the very roots of Pokemon, I can't see Marshadow being released alongside it so hopefully TPC will compensate and release it sooner than the movie after that.
