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.

kingdom hearts

The Mega Champion, Jun 18: KH4 was announced BTW. Don't expect it to actually come out until 2024-25 though. Or longer. Also expect Star Wars and Marvel words. Because it's inevitable. Hmm. Sounded like Thanos there. Intentional? You decide... 🤔

Relaxing video games

Pleasant Surprises

ZeoStar, Mar 2022: Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition ended up being one of my favorite games ever, and it was a totally random impulse purchase for me. I liked it so much I purchased the second game. It was good but still preferred the first entry.

handheld or console?

Poll (2 pages)
tabor62, Jan 2022: Handhelds for sure. Very portable, which means I can play in bed or on the bus. It's also got the benefit of not needing an external screen (though a larger screen is always nice) in order to be played.

Megaman Battle Network and Megaman Battle Chip Challenge Need Switch Reboots

The Game Awards 2021 thoughts
