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)
jojobear13, Feb 11: Not really a glitch, but this would be a good place to put it. It's well documented that the critical hit threshold for Gen-1 is different between the gameboy games and Stadium 1. Specifically speaking: R,G,B,Y Threshold = Base speed 'B' / 2...

What if Pokemon Z happened?

Janp, Dec 2019: I would love another game from Kalos. Even though I love XY, they weren't really polished and there was a lot of space for improvements. I'm pretty sure it would have the some kind of Zygarde side quest from SuMo. Maybe we race Team Flare in...

Foreign Building

Smileycorp, Dec 2019: I always got the impression it was a chapel to Dialga and Palkia. There's a mural of Mt Corronet on the back window, so I see this as the only real explaination. It probably has no music to emulate the muffled echoes found within a large church.

Berry Pots
