Hey umm, I have a question.

How do I get images in my profile? I want a Houndoom picture in my background, but I don't know how to.
You need to be a supporter to use background images. Read about donations here.

I asked this in the nuzlocke thread but I am not sure people will answer it so here it is.

First time I am doing a nuzlocke of soul silver as I am a newbie to this I have a few questons. One is on the first encounter rule if you find on route 5 a pidgey as an example leave and come back later to route 5 and see a rattata is that another first encounter or not I want to know because I grind often going back and fort to the pokemon center. My second question is for the daycare are we allowed to breed as much as we want?

Maybe next time wait a bit longer than 10 minutes before asking somewhere else, yeah? ;)

To answer your question, I'm not the expert on challenges but "the first Pokemon in each area" implies that if you enter the area a second time and see a second Pokemon, that would be the second Pokemon in that area and you wouldn't be required (or allowed) to catch it. Your second question is not addressed at all, so there's no rule for or against it. Do what you'd like on that count.

Sorry about that since this one was not so long I was not sure you guys would respond. Also glad to hear that about my second not sure about the first though as in gold I left came back and caught Pokemon I think for this harder Nuzlocke I won't I will only catch the pokemon I see in the first area if anyone knows for sure on this subject please respond in the future.

If you want a new name though, you can make a new account with the desired name. Just don't go around pretending to be someone else, as that's sockpuppeting which is against the rules. You don't have a lot of posts though, so I mean, it wouldn't do much harm to make a new one if having a different name is a big deal to you.

With only nine posts, it'd be advised you just re-register anyway.

Go to the bottom of the forum and there will be a list of themes to choose from. :) Brighter ones, I might add.

Hey everyone. Love the Hypno theme.
So I just received Happy Birthday emails from this website at two of my email address, both of which addressing usernames I tried but have no memory of having here. I mean they SOUND like names I would have come up with in like 2005, but I have no memory of being here before I was Tears in the Rain in 2009.

The names are RoamingThroughTheNight and StarryNight.
Is there anyway I can see these accounts without having to log into them, that way I can tell if they are me or not.

Well you could just look at the profiles.

http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?username=StarryNight
http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?username=RoamingThroughTheNight

There's a bit filled out in the About Me and a few posts on StarryNight so that shouldn't be difficult, and the other has a few favorite Pokemon to check with.

Edit: RoamingThroughTheNight and StarryNight have matching IP addresses, but don't match yours, if that helps. But if you've moved since you made them that would explain that.

Thank you this is exactly what I meant by looking at the accounts.
The do appear to me be, StarryNight has made a few posts naming my Silver team and that my Gold and Silver died both of which are true of me.
RoamingThroughTheNight has no posts, was only made a day before StarryNight but does share StarryNight's title and three favorite pokemon which are also accurate. So I assume I came to dislike the name very quickly, that has happened.

As for my IP not matching no I have not moved since '08 but I have gotten a new computer since, and we have since switched wireless networks, a couple of times actually if memory serves. I think we were still DSL in '08 and we are Cable now. We have also since changed our Cable wireless network(which is how I get it on my laptop) because somehow the first one disappeared from signal. So that's probably why.

I've seen various things in different boards, and was wondering what this whole member-of-the-year thing is. I guess you could say I'm relatively new to the forum (in comparison to a lot of people here xD) so I was just curious what this is about and how it all works.
I'm a silhouette, asking every now and then
Is it over yet? Will I ever feel again?
I'm a silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own
But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone
So I watch the summer stars to lead me home.

It's a poll of course!

It all starts with voting in the polls in the individual sections, and when the voting period ends, the 3 users who get the most votes in the categories there then get nominated in those same categories in the main MOTY poll which can then be voted and the member who gets the most votes wins that category in the poll.
Nah that's not how it works this year. This year there are the section-specific categories, that go in their respective sections. Later tonight the official MOTY thread will go up, which will have the overall categories, and you vote for the overall categories there. Everything specific to one section will go in that section and nowhere else.

Ok I have 2 questions.

1, "We are STILL working on a BETTER slogan"
now these few words tells me one thing. Did we actually use to have a different slogan?

2, How does this happen?

1. I wasn't here for the beginning, but I assume the original was "We're working on a better slogan!" Then this one happened and it stuck and it'll never change.

2. You have to donate 75 dollars I think? May be more. But either way it's a donation tier just like the rest, just a lot higher.

i was thinking about getting a ds and pokemon black or white 2 and i was wondering how much backwards compatibility it has with gen 4. im assuming gen 5 pokemon cant be sent to a gen 4 game but can you battle? also is it worth getting a cheap original ds or ds lite to get gen 3 pokemon and send to a gen 4 game to be sent to a gen 5 game?

You can't connect Gen 4 and 5 games together to battle. Only for transferring Pokemon over to the later generation.
