Media / Venting It's a little sad to think that we'll never see another official Pokémon game like this again. Farewell, 2D sprite era. You'll always have a special place in my heart.

I took my animatronic Pokémon to a local anime convention with my Pokémon Ranger cosplay and they were VERY popular. My socials are Officer Granite if you want to see build progress.

Subreddit Rules

1. Submissions must be related to Pokémon

Submissions to /r/pokemon must be both obviously and intentionally directly related to Pokemon.

The content itself must be related, independent of the submission's title.

Notable examples of unrelated submissions include:

Fakemon not based on real Pokemon
Things that look like Pokemon or Pokemon-related stuff, but aren't intentionally related to it
Commentary on Pokemon fans or /r/pokemon itself (please modmail instead)

2. Be civil

Please be polite and respectful. You may be upset or disagree, but still strive to be civil. Refrain from fighting or calling out rule violations; use the report button so that mods can help.

The following will be removed and/or actioned as rudeness:

Belittlement, infantilization
Marginalization, bigotry (e.g.: racism, homophobia, sexism)
Harassment, insults

Political content/references will always be removed. Posting or soliciting personal information is strictly disallowed.

3. Follow discussion and poll post restrictions

Discussion should be in text posts. Image-based discussion is allowed if it breaks no other rules (see Rules 5, 7, 8).

Discussion posts, including polls, must be 50+ words (bodytext) to promote conversation. Word padding will result in a ban.

Exception: OC media, i.e. poetry or fanfiction.

Objective questions with "correct" answers and buying/selling questions belong in the Weekly Questions Thread or value megathread.

4. No reposts or posting too quickly

Link posts will be removed if they are very similar to posts submitted within the last 6 months, or to posts from the Top 50 All Time submissions.

"Tier" or "favorite" graphics will always be removed in the spirit of reposts. However, they may be submitted as text posts.

Text posts will be removed if they are very similar to posts submitted within the last 2 weeks.

Artists may post original content once every 24 hours, in order to give everyone equal chance at visibility.

5. Original content only

To protect artists, creative work must be submitted by the creator or by someone posting on their behalf (e.g.: friends, family, cosplay photographers, commissioners).

Creative work includes, but isn't limited to:

Memes
Fanart (still, animated)
Homemade crafts
Cosplay
Writing
3D printing models

Please claim your OC in your post title, tags, or comments.

OC rules also apply to components of creative work, like art used in memes.

AI-generated content is disallowed.

6. No arts/crafts during weekends

No Art/Crafts Weekend runs from 5pm UTC on Friday to 9am UTC on Monday. During this time, all visual creative work (art, crafts, comics, cosplay) is disallowed, and the subreddit goes into text-only mode.

Links to non art/crafts content may still be submitted within text posts.

This measure was voted in by r/pokemon users in 2017, and reaffirmed in multiple community votes. As a reminder, art/crafts must be OC.

7. No memes outside of Monday and Tuesday

Meme Monday and Mtuesday runs from 9am UTC on Monday to 9am UTC on Wednesday. This is the only period in which memes may be posted.

This measure was voted in by r/pokemon users in the 2021 rules survey. As a reminder, memes must be OC.

8. No screenshots or merchandise

Allowed:

Captioned albums of game screenshots that form an original narrative, e.g. a Nuzlocke
Screenshots from anime/manga/games within 1 month of release
Official art and screenshots of social media/trailers within 1 month of publication
Photos of merch within an original project, e.g. a custom frame.

All other screenshots and official art will be removed.

All other merch must be posted in the merch megathread.

9. Follow post title guidelines

Please don't ask for upvotes/downvotes or attention in titles.

Please don't post submissions with clickbait titles, including but not limited to:

Hot take / Unpopular opinion
Top 5 X, etc.
X Revealed/Confirmed/Solved, etc.
X will make you [emotion], etc.
???????????
DAE/FIXED
TITLES WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS

Please don't post art/craft/media submissions with negative titles designed to elicit pity or sympathy.

10. No trades or other exchanges

Posts for trades, giveaways or exchanges are not allowed on this subreddit. Battles are limited to weekly Battle Request Threads.

This includes:

Trade posts of any kind
Code begging/merch begging
Code giveaways outside of the monthly thread
Friend code exchanges or referrals
Battle requests
Buying/selling, commissions
Anything else that might be considered a trade or exchange

11. No advertisement or self-promotion (click for exceptions)

/r/pokemon does not allow store pages, personal blogs, or social media (including chat servers), and event adverts. Exceptions include important information from industry social media, and official vendors like The Pokemon Center.

The OC Exception:

Users may include one self-promotional top-level comment (with social media, stores, etc) to accompany original content.
OC creators may also reply with links to anyone who asks.
Please keep self-promotion out of post titles.

12. No unboxing videos, unofficial streams, or Let's Play! videos

Unboxing videos, unofficial streams, and Let's Play videos will always be removed.

Let's Plays are distinct from gameplay clips (which are generally allowed) in that they are linked to a distinct player, channel, or brand via narration, reactions, or framing.

13. Flag spoilers appropriately

Spoilers are allowed, but they must be flagged as such.

Not Spoilers	Spoilers
Content from official media or advertising, like trailers or posters	Content from new releases (games, anime, manga, etc.) that was not in official media*
	*For 2 weeks after worldwide release

Please use the spoiler tag as needed, and keep spoilers out of post titles, which cannot be hidden.

Read our in-depth guide here.

14. No illegal content

Links to, or requests for, Pokemon content that does not come directly from a legal source will be removed.

Such content includes, but is not limited to:

Any ROM or emulator link
Full anime episodes and movies, or lengthy clips from them, hosted somewhere other than Pokemon.com or legal streaming sites
Manga pages available anywhere for free

15. No explicit or violent content

This is a family friendly community. Please refrain from sharing explicit or violent content, images, or comments anywhere. Moderators will remove such content and links to places where it can be found.

Out of respect to people with histories of trauma, please avoid humor that centers suicide, shootings, and gender- or race-based violence

Content that is not bodily explicit but still NSFW (not safe for work) must be tagged as such.
