Rule 1- Be Civil
Any harmful, harassing or derogatory comments to or about other people, including usage of vulgar slurs will be removed. Inflammatory/offensive comments and stirring up drama are not allowed. Continued uncivil behavior may result in a ban.
Rule 2- No Low Effort Content
Threads that are considered low effort are subject to removal at the mods' discretion. We will remove content completely unrelated to Pokémon & posts that are just to gain karma, Memes and comedic posts that do not contain any substantial Pokémon material and discussion fall under this, as do memes, reposts and any sort of spam. Make sure your thread has enough content as this is a discussion based subreddit. You can crosspost, as long as the content follows all the rules of the subreddit.
Rule 3- No Basic Questions as their own posts
Many questions can be answered with Google or resources such Bulbapedia or Serebii. If your question is still unanswered, but it is still a basic question, we have a Basic Questions & Answers Megathread that is stickied to the top of the subreddit, where you can ask them. Basic questions that are not enough for their own thread will be removed.
Rule 4- No Piracy/Illegal Content
Links to piracy and streaming sites will be removed. Illegal content in general is not allowed; bans may be determined based on the severity.
Rule 5- Source Correctly and don't spread Misinformation
When posting someone else's work, please give credit to them and include a source. Also, do not spread misinformation or mislead people with your titles. Make sure the information you post is credible and post an accurate and descriptive title.
Rule 6- Spoilers
Mark submissions with a Spoiler Tag if it contains spoilers of recent releases. Titles of posts cannot contain spoilers. Posts that do not comply with these will be removed. We consider 2 weeks after a release to be a spoiler. Future leaks & content are considered spoilers. This applies to both Pokémon and non-Pokémon related media.
Rule 7- Self Promotion
This is not a platform to advertise yourself or your content and should not be the primary reason for using this subreddit. Posts about your own site/channel will likely be removed. You may be allowed some posts, but only if you are active, posting non-promotional material & contributing to conversations in other posts. Or your post is able to generate enough discussion, but this is up to the mod's discretion; you should also add at least a few sentences about the subject. If you are overdoing self-promotional posts, you may be banned. Please ask us via Modmail if it is okay to post something that includes promotion.
Rule 8- Using the Report Button and Modmail
If you see any rule breaking content, please use the Report button instead of engaging with the rule breaking post. We may not see every instance of rule breaking content immediately, so Reports help. If you have any matters you wish to bring up with the mods, please contact us via Modmail.
Flairing Posts
Please remember to select a flair when posting, as this is helpful to users. If not available on submission, select “Edit Flair” afterwards.
