There is some hard hitting discussion on the localization of the new anime.

MajorBrendan always seems to be thinking outside the box with a new idea in every thread and I like that. His optimism truly knows no bounds and I will not be the one to crush his dreams, though the state of Gen 9 spinoffs doesn't seem very interesting so far.

I saw this thread briefly last week and flagged it, thinking it would easily disappear as a rule-breaking post. I did not expect the outcome that "Mod_Champeon" would take action by removing the external URLs, but leave the mention of unofficial Pokemon products up.

It seems like this Mod_Champeon prefers to stick to editing posts rather than posting directly themselves. I actually tried looking for their posts, and discovered that there isn't even a user named Mod_Champeon registered on these forums. However, there is a similarly named Mod_Champion who seems to be rather unpopular.
https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/4185/hello-trainer-mod-champion
Personally I think the theory that the Mod_s are some kind of robots or AI is actually plausible based on their behaviour, and if so, these forums may be a dark look into the mirror at the future of moderation. It would explain why there are so many moderators across all the different languages yet all being redundant to serve the same purpose, and why some don't seem to be real users, despite their names being credited to edited posts in the present day. It doesn't seem like they have the ability to post anything regarding an opinion or anything about the games themselves, and it makes sense that a niche beta TCG app bug reporting forum would be the perfect testing environment for canned responses against the complaints of fans. Perhaps this has all been a controlled experiment that goes all the way up to Nintendo to observe if a family friendly community can ever be properly governed by AI.
Technically it's twice as easy to reach page 5 there because Smogon shows 20 posts per page while they have 10 posts per page. However, most topics don't manage to last that long these days with activity slowing down, yet new topics on the important issues of Pokemon are still being formed today and being responded to.

looking at this user's list of ps alts, i suspect they may be smogon user: transcendent god champion/lance. (& if so, then it's def a good thing that the website links were removed...)
My smoggors brain is curious
what did lance do?
I didn't really know about him, but he seems egotistical and was permanently banned from Smogon for doxxing.
good to know
You could always make an alternative account, though now the AI knows that you're trying to come back so it might not work out that well.
Speaking of which, I just witnessed a thread get taken down live, and it was the thread about threads being taken down.

Marking all of your own replies as a best answer in your own thread feels like the meme of obama giving a medal to himself.

I was on pokemon.com and saw that they still advertise the pokemon forums on the top of their homepage.
I haven't been on for a while. The forum is still hanging on to life but topic variety seems to be dwindling.
There is still some discussion about recent events though.

are you a moderator yet? jw how we can mooch off of you
I second this
Major update: The official Pokemon.com forums have finally updated their avatar selection with a gallery of the first 149 Pokemon and their Dream World/Global Link/Corporate art on a colored background. On the other hand they removed all the old Unite avatars from selection, though you can still retain them if you had one before.
The avatar selection UI is very poor because each avatar is very large and takes up a single row.
Pokemon Showdown will never be deleted. Change my mind
the cease-and-desist letter in my back pocket:
thank you for all of your work documenting this, doipy hooves. maybe in a year when they close the forums ppl will look to this thread to be reminded of what could have been. personally, i am still waiting to hear if penny is trans
It seems that ChatGPT posters have been spreading to the official Pokemon forums and no one seems to have noticed.
