Hey there guys, in order to keep the Pokémon series much more cleaner like we did with Pokémon X and Y we are going to lay some rules down!
Also a major clarification, we don't want General Discussions of previous generation games. They are already out and there are no new information off of it, also not many people play it anymore. If there happens to be one, I will either remove it or try to alter it. General Discussions is for how much you like something and to let out all the hype, there is no hype in a game already released. You could argue that remakes have not that much hype since most of the features are well known, but there are always new additions in each remake compared to its predecessor which makes it worthy.
NOTE: This is only for main title Pokémon games (Red & Blue/Green & Yellow, Gold & Silver & Crystal, Ruby & Sapphire & Emerald, Diamond & Pearl & Platinum, Black & White & Black 2 & White 2, X & Y, etc.) and remakes of main titles (FireRed & LeafGreen, HeartGold & SoulSilver, OmegaRuby & AlphaSapphire, etc.). If there happens to be a spin off game that generates a lot of hype, it may follow the same rules.
NOTE #2: Current Generation topics will stay pinned. As soon as the next Generation starts, the previous Generation will be unpinned. For example, Generation VI topics will stay until Generation VII gets announced. This is to prevent a clutter of pinned topics.
1)Want to talk generally about the game? Talk in the "-Enter Game Here- General Discussion" thread!
Here you'll talk about the game and how you'll love for it to come out, or even a heads up when a livestream or new information is going to come out! Those who are eager to know the information ASAP should follow the topic. It will always be pinned in the Pokémon subforum!
2)Want to have specific discussions? You can make a new topic about it.
Unlike Pokémon X and Y where everything was supposed to be thrown into the General Discussion thread, we would like this to remain separate from the thread. This isn't for topics where you say you like the game, or your wishlist. This is for "Oh what about trainer customization?".
3) Want to post trailers, scans, or news in general about the Pokémon games? Make a new topic about it.
You can absolutely post it in the General Discussion but you can also make a new topic about it. This is a big change from how things were handled from Pokémon X and Y, so go ahead and post those 10 second trailers or that scan of the new game!
4)Want to post music, official artwork or anything media related to the Pokémon game? Make a new topic about it.
Not everything has to be in the General Discussion, but if you want, you can post it there.
All in all, News, Music, Artwork, and specific discussions should be there own topics while any "I can't wait for this game" or anything at all related to the game can be in the General Discussion.
This topic was just made for anyone wondering so we don't have to keep on notifying someone each time about this new procedure, since XY was a strict procedure and this one we are going to be more lenient.
Have fun contributing and we can't wait to hear about what you have to say about every main title Pokémon game!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me about it!
