Hi all.
We have had reports of member's signatures being edited to include malicious content. You can rest assured this wasn't done by staff and we can find no indication that the forums themselves have been compromised.
However, remember to keep your passwords secure. If you use similar logins on multiple sites, people and even bots may be able to access your account.
We always recommend using unique passwords and enable two-factor authentication if possible. Make sure you are secure.
Once you've completed Mt. Steel, go talk to Wigglytuff, and he'll do all the YOOMTAAHH stuff. Buy some more places, and go defeat loads of the pokemon that live in those places. The first ones are 130-1200 Poké each, but later, you get new ones upwards of 8000 each.
