Mod Post The Rules of the r/PokemonHome Subreddit

27 Upvotes

To the members of the subreddit: the moderation team wishes to remind our users that posts, comments, discussions, and other activities in this subreddit should always abide by the below list of rules.

If your post or comment has been manually removed by a member of the moderation team, it will have a removal reason attached to it. Please reference the full text of the referenced rule in order to better understand how a subsequent submission of the same type can be adjusted or otherwise modified to better follow the specified rule.

If any users have questions or comments about the rules that govern this subreddit, the moderation team would also like to invite our members to reply to this post with any inquiries you may have.

----------------------------------

1. No Trading via Direct Message (DM) or Private Message (PM)

All trade negotiations should be conducted in a public setting. Trading or negotiating trade details in DMs or PMs is not permitted here. As most scams take place privately, this rule is in place to help protect users from potential scammers. Users that have been banned can still DM you! Images of Pokémon and friend codes should remain in the comments.

Users may only use DMs to send sensitive information—such as a serial code—that could be stolen if posted publicly. This includes giveaways.

2. No Selling Accounts, Pokémon, Merchandise, etc.

The Pokemon HOME subreddit does not allow the sale or purchase of any items- either digital or physical. This includes Pokémon, serial codes, games, accounts, cards, merchandise, and fan made memorabilia.

Users may not post links to eBay accounts/listings or other online shops in an effort to solicit sales.

There are other subs on Reddit that allow these types of transaction- use these for the purpose of buying or selling. Here are 2 examples:

r/Pokemonexchange r/GameSale

3. Follow Reddiquette & Posting Guidelines

Users may not beg for karma, or ask for free Pokemon or services. Something tangible should be presented for the consideration of your trading partner(s). Countdowns, user polls, etc. are not permitted. Trolling is not allowed in any form. This includes flex posts- the presentation of high-value offers with no intention of trading. “Is this valuable?” posts are not allowed.

Value is entirely subjective: if you are interested in trading something, make a post, and see what offers you receive.

4. No More Than 1 Post Per Hour

Posting more than once per hour will be considered spam. The deletion of earlier posts in an attempt to circumvent this rule is still a violation.

Trade threads and giveaway threads are counted separately for the purpose of this rule- meaning you can create 1 of each type of post per hour.

5. Self Promotion is Not Allowed

This includes links to YouTube channels, Discord servers, or any other outside source that provides any benefit to the user or an individual.

6. Hack-Checking Posts are Not Allowed

Asking other users to visually hack-check your Pokémon is not allowed. This is not an accurate representation of the legitimacy of your Pokémon, and the comments made about your Pokémon may lead to ill-informed trading.

The only way to be sure your Pokémon is 100% legitimate is to catch, breed, or otherwise obtain it yourself.

Asking for advice or assistance with the in-game hacking or generation of Pokémon is also not permitted. Please use alternative subreddits for these types of requests.

7. Threads Must Relate to Pokémon HOME

Trades, discussion posts, and other activities that take place in this sub must relate to the Pokemon HOME app and/or its various features.

The following types of requests should be posted in a relevant sub: main series game trades and/or evolution assistance; in-GO trades; GO app-specific discussions; item trades; Champions discussions; memes; and general Pokemon-related conversation starters.

The ONLY exception to the above are trades for select event Pokemon that cannot be traded in HOME.

8. PSA or “Call Out” Posts, Comments, and/ or Screenshots are Not Allowed

If you have an issue with another user or feel like you have been scammed, please submit a complaint to modmail so that we may handle it privately. Public call outs risk hurting an innocent user over a miscommunication. If disciplinary action is warranted, then it will be handled by the mod team. Calling out users in the comments of a trade is also not allowed. If both sides agree to the trade, then it is not a scam. Value is subjective, and it is not our job to decide what is a “good” trade.

9. Don’t Be Rude

Pretty straightforward. Excessive rudeness or mean-spirited comments directed at other users or the moderators of the subreddit will not be tolerated.

If someone or something is frustrating you, drop it and move on. If someone is being rude, do not make things worse by engaging with them- contact the moderation team instead. We will handle the situation on our end.

10. Hacked/Cloned/Genned Pokémon Must be Disclosed

This sub allows the trading of hacked, cloned, and/ or genned Pokémon. However, these types of Pokémon must be visibly disclosed prior to being traded. If a Pokémon was neither personally obtained by you, nor GO stamped, it should be advertised as being potentially hacked/genned/cloned. If you try to pass off such a Pokémon as legitimate, it will be treated as scamming, and you will be banned. If you trade over something that the other user feels is hacked, you must trade back upon request.

11. Giveaway Rules & Etiquette

Giveaways still fall under the "one post per hour rule" (Rule 4). That means you can’t post more than one giveaway per hour.

Giveaways may not be used as a vehicle and/or forum for circumventing other rules.

The rule against DM-based trading (Rule 1) still applies. Giveaway winners must be contacted publicly, and they must be contacted in the same giveaway thread. This is to allow the moderation team the ability to easily verify giveaways are being completed in a fair and transparent manner.

12. Serial Code Card Trades

All users offering and/ or trading physical serial code cards (such as from GameStop or a similar store) must include the following in every picture:

A handwritten note with 1) Your Reddit username, 2) r/PokemonHome, and 3) The current date visible on it.

This rule is in place to confirm that users offering serial codes for trade have custody of the cards they originate from.

The guidelines outlined above do not apply to serial code giveaways, as nothing is being exchanged for the codes.

13. Eternal Flower Floette Trades or Discussions

All activity concerning Eternal Flower Floette must take place in the dedicated megathread (pinned to the top of the subreddit’s homepage).

The only exception to this rule are mass giveaways. Due to the high level of traffic they attract, users are permitted to create standalone posts for these.

So as a z/a shiny hunter, who never touched grass in their life, I decided to make this lil give away to help new players in champions.

But there is a catch, I didn't catch these pokemons yet, because I want you 🫵 to customize them! So basically if you will win, you will be able to choose one Pokemon from picture above ( Lucario, absol, garchomp, baxcalibur, salamence ), and customize almost all things about this pokemon

You can ask for:

• Different pokeballs (expect master ball, I lost it)

• Different gender

• Nature of Pokemon

• Moves

You can't ask for:

• Size of Pokemon

• Ask for other pokemons

( I could forget about smth, so if I did I will add it later)

To enter give away, just tell me about yours favorite mega pokemon. I will choose 3 winners (maybe more if there will be many participants) tomorrow.

Good luck!

PS: everything will be legit, I can't genn stuff

Update: Reddit blocked my image for some reason, available pokemons are Lucario, garchomp absol, baxscalibur and salamence. (Yay image works now)

Discussion should i transfer my starter from usum?

3 Upvotes

hi everyone, im sure you all know about the unfortunate demise of pokemon bank. it led me to finally mod my 3ds (because i hadnt downloaded it before the eshop shut down) so that i could transfer my pokemon before it was too late, but ive run into a bit of a dilemma.

ive had pokemon ultra moon since it came out in 2017, so its been almost ten years. alongside that, ive had my starter pokemon, a primarina named Poppyseed, for that entire duration. part of me wants to transfer her to my switch just so that she wont be stuck in ultra moon forever, but i also still do plan on returning to the save for other things (battle royales, battle tree, ultra wormhole hunting) and i wouldnt want to do those things without her so im kind of at a loss for what to do.

i know it seems silly to be so hung up on something so miniscule, but its genuinely kind of upsetting for me to think about permanently separating her from my ingame self whos had her for over half of my life.

so, im asking you guys. did you transfer your long-time starters to newer games? do you think ill regret doing it/not doing it? im just looking for some different perspectives to help me make the right decision. thanks.
