**Memes/art/etc must be original content (OC)! If you're submitting a meme, art, or other creative work you made, claim it as OC in the title or the comments!**

Some other reminders:

- Submitting a question? Post it in our [Weekly Questions Thread](https://rpkmn.center/questions), not its own thread
- Exchanges, like trades and friend code swaps, aren't allowed here. Look in the sidebar for where to go!
- Want to hype a shiny Pokemon you caught? Please use /r/shinypokemon, or wait for one of our regular Hype threads

**That's not all, though! Please read [our full rules](/r/pokemon/wiki/rules) before you submit.**
