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)

Best moves introduced in Gen V?

Hikamaru, Nov 2015: I agree with those signature legendary moves. Fusion Bolt and Fusion Flare had a unique gimmick in that one of the two moves get powered up after the other is used, sadly both Reshiram and Zekrom resisted them so it was a bit worthless. In double...

Can you get the evo stones in BW2? If so, how?

Hikamaru, Nov 2015: To be specific regarding dust clouds mechanic, in B2/W2 it's only able to be done in Twist Mountain, Wellspring Cave and Chargestone Cave since other areas give you shards instead. That's what I'm aware of.

Rant about fans of BW calling this copy/paste

Hidden Grottos!

Hikamaru, Nov 2015: The reason why it likely does that is to at least make the Pokemon a challenge in its own to obtain, since hidden abilities are meant to be special so it's natural they make items more common than the Pokemon.
