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.

Duck, Feb 2: Not necessarily but it's a good rule of thumb in general? I really don't think anyone will mind if you make a new thread if the challenge is from that long ago, but things might get murkier with newer stuff. When in doubt ask a mod.

The Element challenge

joycewu333, Jan 2016: Well, for fire/water/grass, each type is super effective against one type and not very effective against another type. But, dark types are immune (not resistant) to psychic types. So, dark/psychic/fighting is a type triangle, but an imperfect one.
