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.

Banner suggestions

Roni, Mar 2021: just a random suggestion that came to mind for a poster for any season in general: a light switch with ON and OFF labels, and a hand pushes it down to OFF while the word "Topic" is beside it.

Crossing legs when sitting

Past, Present or Future?

Sheep, Dec 8: A mix of present and future. I do my best to think of how my present actions will impact the future, especially when it comes to health. Present wins out though.. hard not to care most strongly about it when it is the time we’re currently living in!
