LET'S PLAYS & STREAMS
Previously, under
PokéCommunity's main rules, posting videos or links to your YouTube/Twitch channels would be considered advertising, but we have decided to make an exception here - if you would like to announce your streams and/or promote your gaming content in the Video Games forum, simply add the [Let's Play] prefix
(NOTE: at the time that this is posted, the prefix may not exist yet because I've just requested it, but give it a few hours to appear) to your thread and make sure it fits the criteria:
Who can post Let's Play threads?
Any PokéCommunity member with 25+ (non-spammy) posts may create a thread! We just want to make sure you are not joining solely to advertise your content.
What kinds of videos are allowed?
Currently, the only video platforms we will accept are YouTube and Twitch. The content does not have to be Pokémon-related - any games are allowed!
What about mature themes and language?
As long as they abide by the rules of YouTube and Twitch, you may post videos of M-rated games, but please make a note in the title of your thread if there is excessive cussing, sexual content andéor lots of gore in your videos.
How many threads can I make?
You can make one thread per series (4+ videos on the same game), or one thread to house all your videos if you play a lot of one-offs or short games. You may bump your own thread with new videos or to announce that you are streaming - the double-posting rule does not apply to your own [Let's Play] thread as long as you are doing it within reason.
What should the threads/posts look like?
Treat these threads like any other discussion you would find here - you don't have to write a whole lot to accompany each video or stream, but please refrain from just dumping off your videos and leaving.

Since we're trying a new thing here, the rules are subject to change if we feel something else might work better, limits and rules may be added/removed, etc. so please be patient with us as we figure things out, and we'll keep you posted on any changes! And again, if you have any questions about any of this, send us a message.
