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.

here's some pokemon drawings from last year ^^

The final round of our Pokémon TCG Pocket tournament was a fierce showdown in which each of the five finalists had to face each other. In the end, @nerradlife emerged as the ultimate winner! Thank youI want to sincerely thank all of the participants — I wasn't sure how many people would join our inaugural tournament, or if we'd even be able to hold one, but we had a great showing. I believe all matches were able to be completed too. So thank you to everyone who took part! Really appreciate the great sportsmanship we saw. I also want to say a huge thank you to @Teo and @Zachery for helping organize the tournament. This definitely could not have happened without their help! Potential changes based on the first tournamentI think there are some changes we might make for future tournaments: Have participants vote on a single win-or-lose match or best-of-three match style for battles Try to organize some streaming of matches if that's something people would be interested in Make rules clearer based on questions that came in during the tournament Encourage people to set avatars so that we can use them in any graphics (a lot of Sewaddles this time!) And we're also very open to feedback so that we can make things as fun as possible. Congratulations to nerradlife and let's hope we can put on another tournament before the year ends!

You actually slayed me 😂💖

@nerradlife won against @Fiery Shuriken

We all have a shared interest in Pokémon, and while we may have discovered it at different points throughout its history, I am sure we all have some cherished memories and stories we can share. One that I love to share is when I first got hold of Pokémon Crystal, and why it means so much to me: Here is an except of what I wrote for Johto Times The memory of being sat on the kitchen floor of my brother's house while I played Pokémon Crystal for the first time, seeing the vibrant colours and animations in the game's first moments on the title screen, Obtaining my Cyndaquil, and catching a Hoothoot at night, will always stay with me!

My mom was one of those who wouldn't let us watch Pokemon. I remember my big brother and I would watch the series secretly, and every time we heard she was coming near, we'd change the channel. That's how we watched the movies too, specifically that of Arceus. Eventually, she didn't mind anymore, and now we watch it without hiding it.

@pyukumuku won against @GH05t . Thanks for the good game!

@Fiery Shuriken won vs @Tigerbladedn ! Thanks for the tourney.

A rushed Cubone and a custom GBA sprite.

Moon Ball complete loving it... What to make next I wonder

I made the post below when I was very young. I think I am exaggerating some, don't really remember, but I do remember the incident. There was a specific Diamond & Pearl Set with NosePass and for FOREVER that's all I would pull. IM TIRED OF FINDING THIS ABOMINATION...every time I open up a pack of cards. I usually buy...like 1 or 2, a week, somtimes less depends on how much money i get and each time i get a nosepass. Well 2/3 of the time. Does anyone esle have this problem? I dont know if its the packs im buying or what. I get so mad to when I find it, i have so many i could make a deck out of them. One time I opened a pack and got 2 of him. idk if its a manufacturing thing or what.. Most of the cards I have of him are about a year or two old, cuz most of them say 2008 at the bottom, Is there someone out there who would like all the cards i have of this pokemon? I think he's weird its my most hated pokemon in the wwooorrrld and it intimidated me in that one gym in ruby and sapphire had one of those....things. It's not even a pokemon its a thing. Most of his cards are not that strong on the cards. But my main question is....do any of you guys find alot of nosepass cards? Please tell me i hope im not the only one end of rant, but answer my question >.< shame on nintendo giving it an evolution ^^

I just realized MMC is back! I was one of the admins of the original MMC 20(?!) years ago, so it was a pleasant surprise when I stumbled on the site this morning. Some things about me: My first game was Pokémon Yellow Version and I was obsessed. When I was a kid I ran a small site called Pokémon Sky which was a great creative outlet for me. It was never huge but I learned so much about web content and development. MMC was a big part of my life back then. I didn't realize it, but that was going to shape the rest of my life haha. In my teens, I became more involved in the entertainment industry as a whole and started contributing to some fandom-centric outlets like MuggleNet. A lot of the friends I made there went on to found a site called Hypable which was a pretty big fandom destination for years. In college I founded a news organization that covered the young adult publishing industry. I did that for a decade — producing podcasts, covering news, attending publishing events and book cons, interviewing authors and working with the major publishing houses. I "retired" from book journalism two years ago. I write books and am nearing completion on a sci-fi/fantasy novel I've been hacking away at for 9 years (re-wrote it three times and am on the sixth draft). Hoping to finish it up this summer. Continued playing Pokémon throughout it all. :) Pokémon Favorites: Pokémon HeartGold Johto's my favorite, probably for nostalgic reasons Legends Arceus is my favorite of the newer games Can never decide between Umbreon, Cyndaquil and Snorlax Always back and forth between Mew and Celebi as my favorite mythical can you tell i'm partial to the earlier generations? lol but in reality there's a lot to like about the newer games These days I'm working in the news publishing industry and am frustrated by the decisions publishers have made during the last couple of decades. Like it's already been suggested here, everyone gave all their power to platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Google. Now content creators are paying the price for it as algorithms are manipulated and these companies cannibalize content by feeding it to AI and spitting it out in automated summaries. I've thought a lot about the old MMC during the last few years. I've missed those days. I feel like we content creators became so obsessed with growing traffic and making our sites as big as can be and we lost community and fostering positive connections in the process. I'm more nostalgic than ever for smaller communities. World domination sucks, friends are better. Ok, I'm off my soap box. 😅 Excited to see what comes of this and get to know you all!

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 very excited and happy to be able to welcome Pokémon fans back to the official forum of the PokéJungle website, Mt. Moon Community! First started way back in 2006, we ultimately closed it and transitioned to a forum that was simply "PokéJungle Forums". But I think we lost a lot of uniqueness in that move and, ultimately, our forums closed with the continued popularity of social media sites which hosted discussions that would have previously taken place on forums. Over the years, I had really wanted to bring back Mt. Moon but I had let the domain lapse and it got taken by domain squatters. I would still periodically check if it had been released though, and, to my great happiness, I could reclaim mountmoon.net. Yes, I know I could have found a similar domain, but this feels like reclaiming a piece of the forum's 10-year history. Is this 2005? Why do we need a Pokémon forum?It seemed like social media was really the evolution of the forum — you could make friends across the platforms and weren't confined to primarily interest-based websites, didn't have to register for a gazillion forums, could easily share short-form content and images and they were ultimately just very convenient. But I think it is getting clearer and clearer that platforms controlled by some of the world's wealthiest people are ultimately not making the internet a better place. Whether that's through the spread of misinformation, the pushing of controversial content to generate engagement or arbitrary enforcement of rules on their users, no social media platform has really come out looking good. Today, some seem extremely detrimental. That's why I believe that forums are a good option for people to use to discuss Pokémon or anything else. Mt. Moon Community is still evolvingJust like a Clefairy, Mt. Moon still has room to grow and evolve. Please have fun, be respectful and let us know any feedback you have so we can continue to improve! Much love, PokéJungle

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.

Thanks very much for the warm welcome, and your kind words about the newsletter. While it's a very kind offer, I would feel like I was exploiting your community to promote my words, and right now the focus is to help to grow this forum and its audience! In the future, if I share something relevant, then I may consider it :) Keep up the great work! Thanks for your kind words also, and the warm welcome! I don't think we can expect forums to replace social media, and we should try to make those platforms work for us to help grow our small forums. Show people that there is an alternative out there to the norm, and how it can be beneficial! Even then, a small, close-knit community is far better than a large and overwhelming one.

hi, everyone! i wasnt on the old MMC, but i thought it seemed pretty interesting when i got the ping in the discord, so i wanted to check it out. my name is ash (i will also answer to umbreon) and ive been a pokémon fan siiiiiince the 6-8 age range, i wanna say? im 20 now, so its been awhile! my favorite pokémon, as you can probably tell, is umbreon! shiny umbreon, to be specific. i dont really remember why that is, ive just been attached to it for years! my second favorite pokémon is pikachu, mostly because ive always been a HUGE fan of the pokémon anime! ash and pikachu were my favorite characters growing up, and they still mean a lot to me now. my favorite type is electric, with dark and fairy coming in at second and third. i honestly love every type and all of the pokémon within them... ive always loved the idea of every pokémon being someones favorite! the first pokémon game i played was soul silver on my older brothers blue DSI, i would always take it from him to play it even though i had no idea what was going on. the starter he chose was cyndaquil, so its one of my favorite starters now along with oshawott! my first game that was actually mine was pokémon platinum. gen 4 is super nostalgic to me thanks to those games being my introduction to the franchise! my favorite games now are explorers of sky and moon! the characters and story in both of those games really mean a lot to me. for gameplay alone, i had the most fun with legends arceus. i expect to have a lot of fun with legends Z-A, too! im going to end this here before i ramble too much, it can be pretty hard for me to stop talking about pokémon once i get started since its my biggest interest ever. im looking forward to talking about it more with you all!

Hi Everyone, Super excited MMC is back! I was on the old one (I went by my middle name Barry back then) I started playing pokemon at 4 and have been catching 'em all since! :) Not sure what else to say so I'll go over some fun facts about me and my love for pokemon / nintendo My favorite pokemon is sewaddle My favorite types are grass, fairy, water My favorite legendaries are suicune, ogrepon, rayquaza My first game console was a green Gameboy color My switch model is the splatoon with the cool gradient joycons I own 5 different GBAs and 6 DS systems (overboard???) When I was 13 I won a regional tournament have never won anything since LOL At my university I once found a lefeon doll on the ground (fate???) and took it home, washed it, and have loved it since.

This will forever be my favourite Z move 😂

Mega evolution. It was the gimmick that gave the series new avenues without feeling cheap like terastralizing or Dynamaxing. A natural feel to the game flow. Could have used a better back story though.

Congrats to the winner and thanks for organizing the event y'all! 💜

I am dropping out. Remember friends, we have until August 20th for these matches :) Awesome job to everyone and big shoutout to Teo for putting this on.

@nerradlife won against @Zachery Thanks for the game! It was really a great match!

@Fiery Shuriken won against @Pixieboy

I won the match against @teamsonic2011 GG!! ^^

Won against @Shyguygangar

@pyukumuku won! GG 💜

Eevee, we understand how you feel 💀

Folks, I introduce you to my sister's dog, the model Olivia ✨

It's kinda cute that, as kids, we thought that HP was the most important feature to declare if a Pokémon was strong or not 😆

Sounds like fun! I'd like to give it a go :) Friend code: 9593947830830512

I was at my grandparents' house yesterday, and I was delighted to find this collection of highlighters! I was surprised to see that they still work!

I am also in! My friend code is: 9808546045992305

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.

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.

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

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.

Hello everyone! I've been a Pokemon fan since 2000, when they started broadcasting anime in my country. I used to collect TAZO back then. Then came the games: FireRed, Ruby, Silver. I also played everything up to and including the 6th generation. My favourite Pokemon games were probably Crystal, Emerald and Platinum. I pre-ordered Pokemon Sun, but went down the route 3 and threw the console a corner. I also stopped watching anime during the Sun & Moon broadcast period. I recently got back into Pokemon after a few years and am intensively catching up. I've watched Pokemon Journeys and Pokemon Horizons as well as the backlog of 5 cinema movies. I'm also playing Pokemon White again. Maybe after that it will be time for the abandoned Pokemon Sun. On top of that, I'm thinking about buying a Switch 2. In the previous decade I wrote a lot on various Polish Pokemon sites as an editor or editor-in-chief. Now I've set up my own site, Poketto.pl (it's a week old). I am very excited about the return of the Mt. Moon Community! Hi again!

Saul!! So happy to see you joined — miss you and your website! Makes me so nostalgic to think about our little group of webmasters. I should really try to find Sarah from TPC :) Would be super curious to hear your thoughts on what is wrong in the publishing industry if you care to share!

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 :)

I like the idea of the Discord & Forums working closely together. Is there a way for a bot to notify the discord when someone creates a new topic? There could be a specific channel for it. No worries if this is a bad idea. I think it'll be cool for people to understand this isn't replacing the discord, but working with it.

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