The PokéCommunity Forums is one of the biggest Pokémon forums, just behind Bulbapedia and Serebii.net.

Shutdown Scare

On February 28th, 2018, a staff member for the forums revealed that the site's owner was a registered sex offender in a Pastebin post (http://web.archive.org/web/20180301225918/https://pastebin.com/33VEWafV) which sparked outrage in the community. Many staff members left the site due to the allegations. However on March 4th, 2018, staff member "Laslow" announced that the site's owner would be stepping down and handing control over to a group of staff members. Laslow announced that the site would continue to run in the forum post. (http://web.archive.org/web/20180311202608/https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=406400)

Structure

Same as the Steam Users' Forums as both boards used the same vBulletin software.
