Happy 17th Birthday, PokéCommunity!
Yep, you read that title correctly, today is indeed the 17th birthday of this forum! This place was founded by Master Kwesi Nkromah back on October 16, 2002 as a hub for various fansites - at one point or another we were affiliated with Pokémon Palace Network, Alakazam's Pokemon Cheats and Codes, Pokémon Safari, #free_pokemon, Victory Road, Seafoam Islands, The Unknown Dungeon, Zapchu Evolution, and Total Pokémon.
Quite a feat to be able to make it to 17 years! And here's to hoping to a lot more. In honor of this birthday, what are some of your favorite memories of this place? Can be anything, big or small! |
Happy birthday PC!! You've changed my life so much and I'd be in a totally different place without you. Seriously, thank you. Here's to 1, 5, 10, 17 more years. <3

First of all, Happy Birthday PokéCommunity! 😊
I still consider myself quite a new member (I joined just three years ago and I'm 19 currently... this website is almost as old as me) but it has been a very nice stay so far! The people I've known here are just amazing~ Although I can't deny I still feel like a kid in here. You know, unexperienced at times, maybe a bit too annoying or even too 'reserved'... but I hope I can improve on that. Just... I'm still not comfortable with sharing some personal informations, and I have to be careful not to do that by error! Some of my favourite memories so far... well, the Get Together of 2017! I was in Gloria and we won! But also scrolling through all of those Essentials map designs, resources, scripts, and finished projects! Right now I'm trying my hand at roleplaying and it's also quite fun so... yes, here's to hope PC continues like this. And before I forget, a shootout to Janna for keeping this community going! And for being a great friend too c: Edit: oh hi Janna *looks up* |
to say that this place has changed my life in more ways than i can think of probably wouldn't be getting the meaning across enough. im honestly thankful for the friends and memories that i've made here, and hopefully PC makes it for many more years to come! n.n

I've spent my entire adult life on PC (and about 90% of that time as a mod) as an active member so far, so to say that PC hasn't made an impact on my life is a complete understatement. I've been here for almost 10 years now, and have been through ups and downs in my life, but PC has always been one of the best aspects of it.
Congratulations on hitting the 17-year mark, and here's to 17 more years of the best community online I have ever been a part of. <3 |
I went off and on from time to time, even deleted my account only to come back lmao
PC definetly made a huge impact on my life, from the very beginnings on Trade Corner till the current shitposting fiesta in Forum Games and Off-Topic happ bday PC |
I was happy with the warm greetings I received :3 plus happy birthday
|
I've only been active on this place for the last couple of months, to follow the ROM hacking scene. It's been a great time so far. Happy birthday!
|
PC has quite a history for a Pokemon forum. I joined when I was 16 and now I am 26, so it's been a big part of my life!
|
Whoa there, happy birthday PC!!! 🥳🥳🥳
I'm pretty much a noob here, yet already enjoyed stuffs PC offers (mainly the challenges section, though I do hang out at the fangames section every now and then). Thanks, folks. 😌 |
Been only here a short time, but I love it here. People into Pokemon like me and also very nice people.

This is a bit random for a favorite memory, but using a Ground-type team for a Gen 5 Monotype tournament, back when PC's Showdown server was super active, comes to mind. I didn't even win that one, but I remember having so much fun.
That time of me being in PC (I think that was 2012-2013?), as well as my first few years here, I still look back to fondly. I miss the friends who have gone on to live their lives, but I'm glad this place is still here-- 17 years strong, for them to come back to, if they ever wanted to. Even when you leave, PC never really leaves you. Happy birthday, PC. |
Wowzers, I have no idea that my first ever forum that I joined has been here for pretty long now! Here's for more years at PC, and happy birthday! o/
|
Aaaaah, Happy Birthday, PC!!
This place has changed my life too, I was a very, completely different person when I joined. I was barely in high school, so this place has been with me for what's almost half my life, and all of my teen and adult years that have mattered the most! It's been a pleasure to stay here, and keep coming back, and see all of the changes, and all of members that have come and gone. Here's to way more years of PC. :> |
Happy Birthday PC!
I know I'm not exactly around anymore, but this was my hangout spot when I was a teenager who couldn't make friends*. I can't name anyone I knew in high school, but I remember people I spoke to here, even now. Spent sooooo many late nights just hanging out here or chatting with members on MSN... y'all made my teenage years not suck. I'm forever grateful for this place. Here's to many more years! *I still can't make friends shhhhhhh |
aw, happy birthday pc <3 this has been my home basically since i started using the internet and i really don't know what my life would be like without all my experiences here! im glad we're still around~

Man, I’m always a day late to every awesome anniversary. Love ya, PC, wouldn’t be who I am today without you. ( ˘ ³˘)♡

Happy birthday to PC, a website that made me happy more than once.
It is thanks to a certain ROM hack that I discovered PC, the first ROM hack I ever played. I don't remember its name, but I reached the point where the hack ends in Fuchsia City and as such I was looking for an updated version. It is then that I found myself in PC, and within PC I found several ROM hacks and fan-made games. It is also thanks to PC that I engaged, myself, into a splendid experience of ROM hacking where I learned a lot of stuff. Thank you PC for letting me view Pokémon games from a whole different angle! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQInnHYmvT2FZNQnxmJz3hj1CcbzETeCA-8ONj9FjvTKQTcyEvM Here is one of my oldest posts in this community (February 2013). Oh boy! It has been quite a while. Spoiler:

Happy Birthday, PokéCommunity!!! Really don't know where I would be if it wasn't for hearing about ROM hacks and Pokémon Shiny Gold back in late 2007. ^^;
PC really has changed my life for the better, it opened me to all kinds of different possibilities, and even opened me up to people completely! It was the very first place where I created an account on. x3 Certainly had never created an account on any site up until January 2008 with PC, once that happened, my life became far more positive, everyone taught me very well, changed me into a very loving, caring, supportive and helpful person, which was something that I never was long ago~ ^^ Once again, thank you everyone, thank you PC! And here's to another many positive years ahead for PC! Yay! ^^ |
Whoa, it's PokeCommunity's birthday! Happy birthday, PC!🤗 I owe you a lot of things! A superb community, a newspaper, ROM Hacks, Fan Fictions, bla bla and lot's of fun with everyone here. To be honest, you're as old as me now, which makes it feel even better! All of you, do rejoice on this jolly good day!
Umm, also this: To find good and joyful people here with the same interest is really awesome. This is also my first ever forum. Extremely exhilarated, have a good day, reader! |
I've been on and off this site a few times and mostly just hand around the Challenges section, but had I never come to this site, I doubt I'd even know of things like the monotype or start doing Gen 2 solo runs.
Happy Birthday, PC. |
happy birthday:)
|
Late hap bday, internet home!
|
Happy Birthday PC!
Not sure about my favourite memory. I enjoy being here altogether. |
I cannot express the love and appreciation I have for this community. I have played so many games from here and met so many friends. Happy birthday Pokecommunity and thank you for everything. You are THE best!

Long may it last

17 more years of PC! I can barely imagine.... |
I will always be grateful to PC for all the wonderful memories it has given me, along with the irreplaceable friendships I've made over the years! This community helped me grow immensely as a person, and I won't ever forget all the inspiring people here who've shaped me into the person I am today. ^__^
But PC's impact on me goes even further than that—it has forever shaped my future, as well! After all, PC brought me together with my mod partner... the very love of my life! ❤ If PC hadn't brought us together, I would never have known how it feels to share such an inseparable, heartfelt bond with another person—a deeply special bond that I can truly call a miracle! No matter where I find myself far in the future, the miracle PC has given me will remain for eternity. :') Thank you for everything, PokéCommunity. Keep being that special place connecting people from all around the world! Happy 17th Birthday! <333333333333333 |

Thank you so much for that lovely sentiment, Revise... now it's my turn! ♥
PC has been like a second home to me ever since I was twelve years old. I can't believe I've been here for seven long years already! There have been so many wonderful memories throughout my time here, all of which I will cherish for the rest of my life. I will never forget the fun I had in early 2014 with some of my dear friends, especially TY, who really lifted my spirits and was the light I needed to make me smile. The Battle Server was such a riot back then!! Bursting with activity and laughter! I loved the drama in the old PC days, especially with my notorious little sister on the run! I've had several long breaks from PC when life was at its darkest, yet coming back here has given reason to my life time and time again. In 2015... I discovered someone. He seemed to shine with an indomitable light, which cast an atmosphere of joy wherever he went. This boy captivated me long before he even knew of my existence. I wanted to be just like him. This new ambition of becoming his friend led me to a place I will always cherish—Pokémon Trivia. This is where I spent my most treasured moments... The friends that were made, the memories we shared... the games we played to fulfil our dorky antics! I couldn't believe it when I was asked to moderate this special place! That is another favourite memory of mine—I couldn't keep from smiling, especially when the invitation I received was personalised by none other than the boy who started it all! <33333333 You may have guessed by now who this remarkable person is! You just have to look two posts above me. :') I fell deeply in love with that one-of-a-kind prince of mine, and he has changed my life forever. This forum gifted me the promise of a happy future, just as long as I always have Revise by my side! It gifted me... my eternal soulmate. I'm so endlessly grateful! That is why PC will forever hold a special place in my heart! <333 And it's all thanks to you, PokéCommunity. I hope we can celebrate many more of your birthdays to come! ♥ |
I'm late to the party but...
As most know, I'm one of the older members of PC. I've had a huge long history being her since 2004. I joined at age sixteen and remember trying so hard to follow in my friends footsteps. I had really no idea how to just be me. That, and I just wanted people to like me. :c I have to admit that during that time... I was n00bish and extremely annoying to others for that I am very sorry. I left PC on several occasions because I felt like I really wanted to become a better person. There were times when I ran into trouble here, swearing never to return. Yet, each time I always found my way back countless of times. I guess it's mainly because I learned so much from people that it was hard just to leave all that behind, even if some of those times in my past weren't exactly the greatest. I have to say that since my most recent return, I really love being here on PC more than anything in the world. I've met many friends now who actually really care about me, and that makes me so very happy! |
Happy birthday PokéCommunity! I haven't been here for a long time, but I love being on here and I call PC my second home on the internet.
