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...

The Names

pkmin3033, Jun 2017: I do agree that "Ultra" is the most terribly cliche prefix imaginable even if it does fit the theme, but I can see the logic of why they chose to use that rather than two separate prefixes, or numbered sequels. Separate prefixes would have drawn...

The Rotom Dex

Hikamaru, Jun 2017: Rotom Dex's purpose in Sun & Moon was mainly due to the protagonist being new to Alola. We don't exactly know what the new protagonists' role is yet, whether they are Alola-native or moved from another region, so I'd wait for more of the backstory...

Some more of those random interesting stuff; including connections with the previous games, gyms, etc.

jombii, Jun 2017: Yeah those plots of land have been of interest since the release of SuMo and if those are still plots of land in USUM, I would be definitely surprised.

The Alternate World

Mina in US/UM.

Hikamaru, Jun 2017: I'd love to see Mina become a Gym Leader if Alola establishes it. We did get our first Fairy-type Gym Leader last generation (along with the type's own debut) so it would be nice to have another one.

Alola Pokedex expansion wishlist

Hikamaru, Jun 2017: That guy was weird, especially because he turned out to be Mr. Bonding of 6th Gen fame. Game Freak surely had a missed opportunity by not including Lunatone and Solrock in the Alola Dex.
