I don't go by Zach or Zac I don't correct because I don't wanna make anyone feel awkward, but I'd like to note here I prefer Zachery. If you remember me from when I was younger on these forums, I used to go by Barry. That is my middle name and I did it as a extra layer of protection. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Hello, I draw and paint Sugimori inspired fanart with actual watercolours. It's challenging to work with, but I think the results are worth it.

This is great, well done! I am sure this will be very useful to people :)

Hey everyone, I wanted to share something really important that could affect all of us who care about video games. Stop Killing Games is a consumer movement fighting against a harmful industry practice: publishers making games completely unplayable once they end support, even if you paid for them. This is essentially a form of planned obsolescence, making game preservation nearly impossible. The movement has already escalated the issue to government agencies in countries like France, Germany, and Australia. Now there's a significant opportunity to create real change through the European Citizens' Initiative — but it needs a massive number of signatures from EU citizens to succeed. If you’re an EU citizen: 👉 Sign the initiative and help protect the right to keep and play the games you’ve bought! As of now, over 835,000 EU citizens have signed — but we need 1 million signatures by July 31, 2025, to compel the European Commission to act. If you're based in the UK, there’s also a UK Parliament petition open until July 14, 2025, with a goal of 100,000 signatures. These next few weeks are critical. If the thresholds are reached, we could finally see the establishment of fundamental legal protections for digital game ownership and preservation. So if you're eligible, please sign — and if you're not, help spread the word! Let’s make sure our games don’t just disappear!

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm making a separate post because I have an idea I'd like to share with you that probably would need some discussion 😊 I was thinking it would be nice to make ranks and badges on this forum even more "Pokémon"! So, I think we could replace the current ranking system with Kanto medals — I'm saying that because of the forum's name, not because I'm 31 years old, hahaha Another ranking system could be based on Poké Balls, but then we need to decide which Ball is better than the others. For example, I might say that the Premier Ball doesn't deserve much praise, while someone else might think we're terrible for not including the Heavy Ball on the list, hahaha Here is an example - sorry for the bad graphic, I just made it quickly on Canva to give you an idea: Same applies to the forum "badges": we could use Ribbons, as they can "evolve". For example: Collaborator (making your 1st post): Cool Ribbon Collaborator (making your 10th post): Cool Ribbon Super Collaborator (making your 50th post): Cool Ribbon Hyper Collaborator (making your 100th post): Cool Ribbon Master What do you think? 💡

Sorry if you said already, but what would one have to do to earn higher badges? Like, more contribution to the forum? Really cool idea! I'm all for anything that will make community engagement fun like this.

Ash travelled extensively with his Pikachu and, even unevolved, was a powerhouse when it came to battles. If you could choose one Pokémon to travel with that could far surpass the capabilities of what you'd expect even if it was not evolved or was traditionally viewed as being a "weaker" Pokémon, what would you choose? I'd probably travel alongside one of the following: Sewaddle Dunsparce Parasect Cherrim Carnivine Nuzleaf Ariados Curious to hear who your exceptional partner would be!

I love Growlithe too! ❤️

Muk, Growlithe, Odish, Noctowl, Dachsbun or Mabostiff It's looks like I even can decide type

Probably, I'd choose an Oddish. I love the idea of surprising my opponent with a bit of onion that shoots solar beams and KOs their Pokémon with a Moon Blast. 😆 This reminds me of this epic battle:

"It’s like my Rattata is in the top percentage of all Rattata." I had pet rats irl for many years. Rattata has always had a soft spot in my heart. I think it might be an alolan one but Im not sure. :)

That Mew was my fifth attempt and it still has some mistakes, but I won’t go for a sixth one. At least I can consider it as practice.

I feel like I remember you saying that you were doing that. That's got to be such a cool experience. Glad to be here.

Hi everyone! ☺️ My name is Teo (he/they). I’m a researcher in Sociology and a lifelong Pokémon fan 🌱 I’m genuinely happy to have found an active forum like this! It brings back memories of my teenage years, when online communities felt more human and engaging. Back then, I even ran a forum called "Pokémon Splash," where I met some of my dearest friends! I’ve seen others say it already, and I wholeheartedly agree: building meaningful communities on mainstream social media has become nearly impossible, given the tyranny of algorithms, oligarchic platform owners, and the overwhelming spread of passively generated AI content. I’m really looking forward to connecting with all of you, and playing lots of TCGP, my latest obsession hahaha Big hugs to everyone 🧸

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them. This time I painted a Slowpoke for a collaboration. Given how Slowpoke tail is treated as a delicacy in the games, I thought it'd be funny to see one trying to taste it's own.

I'm a Conan Gray fan, so I've been listening to his new song lately. Feel like he captured that feeling of the end of a relationship pretty well, both in the song and music video. Also, super random but YouTube recommended it to me (???) and actually it's a bop. I wasn't the biggest BEP fan back in 2009 so I didn't listen to it I guess lol. Also, nothing against the band, I was just much more into Lady Gaga during that period.

We’re almost midway through July, but there are still events to look forward to in Pokémon GO; new Dynamax battles are coming and players will have the opportunity to enjoy background music chosen by Pokémon music composer Junichi Masuda!

I know it can be a touchy subject for some, we lost Ash and got a whole new cast of characters — but now that there's been some time to watch Liko and Roy's adventure, what are your thoughts? Personally, I have not watched the anime in many, many years. But since it's available on Netflix, I was curious to see what Horizons was like with the new protagonists. I was actually pleasantly surprised and am enjoying it so far. Made me very nostalgic thinking back to some of the early days of Ash's adventure in the anime. Curious to hear what others think!

Do we have the ability to add forum signatures? They display under a reply or post. I wanna get creative lol

Lilligant is one of my favorite pokemon, so this is incredible to hear. Will deff be buying the pass for this one.

Aweee that is so sweet though :) Go see your grandma!! lol

Thanks for making this! If anyone is looking for a guild, I recommend The Ninth. I'm just a member and I found it randomly, but quite active. Might be full right now but they regularly purge inactive members.

Wow, great! 😄 I should go to toy fairs and flea markets more often!

WOW!!! She is such a cute dog!!! Oh my gosh

Gen 3 soundtrack always sticks with me, because it came in TRIUMPHANT. They knew exactly what they wanted to be and weren't going for nostalgia with it. I enjoyed it a lot.

I always go back and forth on this. My favorite type is definitely ghost, but I don't know that my personality matches it very well. Maybe ground? I know I'd have a swampert, a claydol, maybe a golem. Still have to think on what else.

There's really no need to do that just for me, but I appreciate all of the support :)

Can’t wait ✨

I’ll create a Twitch profile and I’ll follow you! 🎥

That's great news! Do you have a particular goal you're aiming for before sharing the results? ☺️

Banpresto has revealed the Pokémon items that will be hitting arcades and game centers in Japan next month!

Mt Moon!!! I can't believe it's really back! I was on here way back when I was a kid, around 2007 or so. So cool to be here with you all. I'm now a public school teacher, am engaged, and have never lost my love of Pokémon. Hello!!

Thank you! Those are on actual paper. If you want something custom made and shipped, let me know via DM. Thank you, but my line work is not as good as Sugimori's. I'll try to improve my skills.

As a kid, I absolutely adored Wigglytuff and Rayquaza, but now I would say my favourite is definitely Dragonite. 🐉 The funny thing is that, while writing this post, I'm realising that this is not a mere coincidence, since Dragonite is still a Dragon-type but with cuter traits – a sort of fusion between Wigglytuff and Rayquaza 😆

Hello! Nice to meet you!! Pocket edition is really rad.

I'm happy to see you're receiving so many votes, and can't wait to see the results! I also sent my votes 🥳

Good to see you like the sprite as well. However I did update it a bit to get closer to the Gen 1 style sprites, especially the eyes. Also I drew a Chikorita for collab. While it's not my finest work, I had to meet the deadline. If I'd constantly worry about quality, I couldn't get anything done.

I wanted to add I have gotten a newfound appreciation for Trubbish lately. Cute little garbage kitty :)

It's good to see you like Slowpoke. Initially I was a bit worried about the inconsistent line art, but it seems like you don't mind. Also thank you for showcasing my work JohtoTimes, that was very kind of you. This time it's Cubone's turn. I also tried my hand at a R&G style sprite for it.

Yeah, I do like that idea. For some Pokémon-specific things like Switch codes, Pokémon GO codes, maybe I can just have the option to display those in people's author boxes next to their posts for maximum visibility (if people feel comfortable entering that information in publicly)

Perhaps this could be displayed in people's profiles if they wish? Rather than one big thread where it would be a pain to keep updating constantly with new additions. It also allows people the flexibility of removing that information, should they choose not to include it anymore.

Currently playing through Pokémon Red & Blue on a stream every Saturday with my community on Twitch! The goal of the playthrough is to create a living-dex of all 151 Pokémon, on original hardware. I'm using my original GameCube console with a Game Boy player, my childhood copy of Pokémon Blue from 2001, and a copy of Red I purchased for this specific playthrough from a friend, from her childhood. Each Pokémon will be named after a friend, acquaintance, or someone involved in Pokémon who has had an impact on me and my love of Pokémon through the years. Once i'm done with it, I plan to retire the games. I will back up the data to my PC where I will always have a record of the playthrough.

Unfortunately I don't think I have much of these anymore but the ones that stick out the most from my childhood are: This Pikachu plush that I carried everywhere until the yellow started fading and the whites of its eyes disappeared, making it look like a demon. (I know I still have this one but no idea where it is) This big headed Munchlax doll that my mom bought me at a touring Pokémon event. Also know I kept this one, but no idea where haha. The iconic electric Pokédex toy. I remember this being so important to me. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong but I feel like there was an Eon Ticket event — you had to go to Toys "R" Us? — I could be off. But there was some kind of Gen 3 event at Toys "R" Us. Either way, we were like the last ones in line and the dudes running the thing gave us a box of leftover posable Pokémon figures that they had been giving away for free. I remember they were made of soft plastic and were lightweight and hollow inside. We had a Mewtwo and I think Latios, Latias, and some others I can't remember. I Googled but am not seeing any pics. I've enjoyed going back through the memories of old merch via your newsletter!

Cool that the forum is coming back! I hope it will be a success.

I miss my phone with the pull out keyboard!! They should make it to where you can use two phones on one number because I'd totally rock an old phone too. I had a Samsung intensity (not sure which model) and I could type so fast on that thing. I hope "retro" becomes cool soon because i'd love a smart phone with a pull out keyboard. You and I have the same misses :)

Hello everyone! Johto Times here. I have been a Pokémon fan since it was first released here in the UK back in 1999. I have a fondness for the earliest era of the franchise, and express that with a weekly newsletter. I am extremely happy to see a returning forum from the past! @pokejungle has been extremely supportive towards my project since it's infancy, and I am proud to call our two projects friends. When the conversation moved from close-knit forum communities, to social media, we lost a lot of the uniqueness and charm that passion projects brought with them. Likes, retweets, being seen, going viral, it was all about being popular and being better than others. Suddenly, our messages were reaching far beyond their intended circle, and now the world was our stage. In return, we were exposed to many unsavoury types, and gave the billionaire social media companies our time and data. The conversation was dictated by the people making the initial post, and the ability to create our own topics in a shared space disappeared. While forum software didn't move as quickly to accomodate the tech, they were genuine and heartfelt. They were a source of creativity, a place where we could share fanfiction, artwork, and our excitement and passion. I miss them, and I hope this can be the start of a resurgence within the community to create our own space, express ourselves, and enjoy each other's company. Forums absolutely deserve to return, and I am pleased to see an older community return. I look forward to making new friends here, whether that be returning users from the past, or brand-new contributors who are using the forum for the first time. Best of luck to the team, and I hope this will be a huge success! With Mt. Moon, we have an opportunity to shape it in an image that we can be proud of.

Hi I'm glad to see you again here in Mt. Moon! I agree with your statement, social media is truly getting worse. The algorithm tracks us, treats us like puppets and alter our minds by predicting our interests, even alot of ai bots are taking over feeds and feeding us misinformation thus why the dead internet theory is getting relevant Anyways I hope you'd continue your newsletter project!!

I found this little blue nosed cutie yesterday! Such a great shiny.
