Rules: 
1.
All posts should be social media in the Pokemon universe.
The image in each post should be a fake screenshot of a social media site in the Pokémon universe. The in-universe version of this sub would be a place where content from elsewhere is reposted, kind of like r/CuratedTumblr.

Note that other forms of media, like news articles or movie posters, are also allowed. However, don't just make a Trainer card and post that as-is. That's just lazy.

Websites for making fake social media posts can be found in the sidebar and weekly meta thread.

Pokemon exist in the pokemon world. Creatures and characters from other media, such as digimon, monster hunter, and palworld do not. Other media may be referenced as in-universe fiction.

2.
All spoilers should be marked as such.
Whenever the new games come out, posts relating to them must use the Spoiler Tag for at least a month after their release.

3.
No Recent/Top Reposts
No reposts within 2 months (we may shorten this, we'll see how many posts we start to get) or from our top 10 of all time.

4.
Be civil
Be civil and treat other people nicely. Bigotry and harassment will not be tolerated.

Refrain from creating posts that specifically target and shoot down other people's posts.

5.
Use /uj when not roleplaying
Taken straight from circlejerk subs, /uj (unjerk) and /rj (rejerk) represent whether you are roleplaying or not.

Unjerk means your comment is serious.

Rejerk is not required unless there's also a /uj in your comment and you want to differentiate between the two.

Not that this rule does not apply to posts using either the "Meta" or "Mod Post" Flair.

6.
Correctly flair your posts
Correctly flair your posts. If a post is part of an Event spanning multiple posts and participants, use the "PokeMedia Event" flair.

For those who aren't interested in Event posts, you can filter them out by simply typing the following in the search bar: "-flair:"PokeMedia Event"", which will automatically hide all posts flaired as such.

An "Event" is generally considered an extended crossover between many posters on the sub - for examples of this, simply search for "Area Zero" or "Twynspol".

7.
No NSFW or extreme gore
NSFW images - defined as any image you wouldn't be comfortable having on your screen in public - are forbidden. If you're not sure about a specific image, ask us.

When it comes to text containing NSFW elements, like sexuality or extreme violence, we simply ask you to use your best judgement, listen when people tell you they're uncomfortable with something, and especially remember that there are minors using this sub.

8.
Multiversal headcanon rules
To avoid endless fighting over what is and isn't canon, every post is in its own universe, similar yet distinct from the rest, so if you have a specific headcanon that doesn't align with a post, we can chalk that inconsistency up to the multiverse. In short, every post has its own canon decided by OP that doesn't have to perfectly align with other posts.

To be clear: We don't literally mean the internet is multiversal. You are not supposed to reference this Rule in-character.

9.
Credit Artists

When using art that you did not create in a post, please credit the original artist (e.g. "Art by [name here]") either in the title, somewhere in the post itself, or in a comment on the post.

Official art by the Pokémon Company (anime stills, promotional art, etc) does not need to be credited. If you create and use your own art, please enable the "OC" tag on your post, just to prevent false reports for this rule. (found right next to the Spoiler tag)

10.
No hijacking of Storylines

When a post uses the "Storyline" flair, that means it's part of an ongoing narrative across multiple posts. If you want to make a post that's part of or ties into another person's Storyline, you MUST ask that person for permission beforehand, or else the post will be removed.

By the same token, you must also ask permission before using a character that was created by another user.

To prove that you have permission, please leave a comment such as "u/Username gave me permission for this."

Text Posts are not allowed. For longer posts with a lot of text, you can write them on Tumblr, save them as a draft, and then take screenshots of it.
