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.

Is Rated harder then Free?

QuickSilveri, Jan 2013: In a way, yes. In the Rating mode the battles are more competitive since they count for an actual score rating as opposed to just wins. I believe that the scores take into account your losses as well as your wins. These scores (correct me if im...

Generation 6's impact on competitive battling

Sweets Witch, Jan 2013: Betting on the power creep to break down stall teams is useless since there was a huge power creep in gen 5 and people still found ways to create stall teams around it. Stall will never go away.

What if Drizzle/Drought/Sandstorm was in every tier too?

Chocolate™, Jan 2013: If drought was allowed in the lower tiers than Sawsbuck,Charizard,Exeggutor and Leafeon would be in UU and most water types would be in one tier lower than they already are and water types in NU would be the least frequently used pokemon.

Power or Accuracy in competitive play?
