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.

All of a sudden so many people dislike 6th gen?

Hikamaru, Apr 2017: It's true. While these games did have great features, it unfortunately came at the cost of an underdeveloped character lineup and a region that had unresolved issues.

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.

Is Wishiwashi school form a Pseudo-Legendary?

Maya, Apr 2017: I wouldn't say it was. Its alternate forms work to sort of average it out, in a way. I feel like it's just a different concept that's been introduced to give us more variety in the types of pokemon we can find; not so much as a pseudo-legendary.
