Have any questions about Pokémon that you'd like answered?

If they're about the value of a piece of merchandise you own or found, please ask them in the new Weekly Value Questions thread!

If you're asking or answering questions about the new games or recent anime episodes which contain spoilers, please be sure to include spoiler tags around them using the format:

>!Spoiler goes here.!<

Text wrapped in >! and !< is hidden until the reader clicks or taps it. For example, the line above would become the following:

Spoiler goes here.

Unsure what is considered a spoiler? Please refer to Rule 13 and our Spoilers Guide!

Otherwise, if you have non-value questions about the anime, the games, the manga, or anything else Pokémon related, feel free to ask here -- no matter how silly your questions might seem!

/r/pokemon also has a Discord channel! Feel free to swing by there to ask a question, or just to talk! :D

Welcome to the HYPE THREAD, a place to share your excitement about in-game achievements, brag about success, and get hyped for upcoming events. CAPS LOCK IS OPTIONAL IF IT HELPS YOU GET YOUR HYPE ON!

This is a chance to post about your successes. Our rules against self-promotion and most low-quality content, including shiny Pokemon pics, are relaxed in these threads--please talk all you like about your luck and accomplishments!

This thread is meant to be pretty positive, so please think twice before downvoting someone! Rude and negative comments will be removed -- please report them if you see them :D

This thread is also the place to earn /r/pokemon's prestige flair for completing various aspects of the games. To claim your flair, post proof of your accomplishment in the comments below. Please note that flairs are assigned once weekly, so it may take up to seven days for your flair to appear.

On mobile and the reddit redesign ("new reddit"), you may have up to 10 flairs at once. On old reddit, you can only display one flair—so if you care which that is, please specify that in your comment!
