We have just introduced a new addition to our site: pages about Pokémon video games. In these pages, we give details about various features in video games. We currently have sections for two games: Pokémon Sun and Moon, and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (well, that's technically 3, but you get the idea), and we plan to expand this as time goes on.
The pages are accessible through the main navigation under Site -> Pages -> Games.

We just got finished applying some back-end server updates. Nothing particularly interesting, but we have some other exciting announcements.
Discord
For years, we've used IRC as our primary instant messaging service. Now, we have a Discord guild where you can discuss anything.
Advantages of Discord over IRC:
See message history without having to be connected
Cross platform - use it on desktop, mobile, or in a web browser
More formatting options, including the same reactions as what we have in the forums
Guild link: https://discord.gg/pmATjZw
IRC isn't going anywhere, and we still plan to use it for more technical discussions.
Patreon
Project Pokémon gets its funding from two sources: advertisements and administrators. Nobody likes advertisements, and things can get expensive when only a few people bankroll a dedicated server. Thanks to Patreon, hopefully we can fix that. Patreon is a place where users can help support us, helping give Project Pokémon a more stable future. People who donate will receive the following rewards:
No more advertisements
Gold username on the forums and Discord
Sneak-peeks of upcoming features

The Image Gallery
Speaking of sneak-peeks of upcoming features, one new feature that's been in the works for quite a while is now ready. Today, we introduce our Image-dex. Here, you can find a collection of Pokémon images from various games and generations.
Art Competition
We need a new banner and icon for things like Twitter, Facebook, and Patreon, so we're holding an art competition. The winner will be awarded a special username color on the forums and Discord, a forum badge, and credit wherever the image is used. Details are in the art competition thread:
