A general news thread sounds alright, it has been done in the past. I'm interested to see what these screenshots you speak of are Mouldy Cheese!

Haha, they're nothing overly exciting. Just some pictures of gyms and stuff that I think were in the trailer but sort of not-recognised at the time. Nothing overly thrilling :<

"General" news threads worry me for quite a few reasons. For one, I have a feeling we would be essentially taking any X/Y news and throwing it all into one simple thread. This stunts discussion, which would make the thread more confusing than anything. Who's to decide what is and isn't "minor" news? Granted, the really little things may not gather much discussion, but I don't consider any type of news unworthy for its own thread. If no one has anything to say about it, the replies won't last very long. However, I'd rather that then have a bunch of news thrown into one singular thread and not have anything good come out of it.

With the lack of activity we're seeing in the game forums, I would have to say the more separate news threads, the better. The forum may look "cleaner", but what would the thread end up looking like on a big news day? These are mostly rhetorical questions, but I can't say I like the idea very much. Perhaps Gotenks can help me out with some further clarification.

Hey Virtue, how about instead of a general new thread we add a thread tag specifically for news? That has seemed to work well in other forums in the past. :3

Fair enough, besides some new images there probably isn't much to discuss as far as 'minor news' anyways, new Pokemon and game details warrant their own threads. Maybe the fan-art thread can be upgraded to general (lol another general thread) image thread so screen shots can be thrown in there too. I never saw the point of general on-topic discussions haha. I like the tag idea, that will make sifting through the threads for news a bit easier when things get busier around here.

I've noticed that Kinetic and Kubrick's names didn't get put under the footer for credit for their graphics. I know it isn't completely necessary, but I think it would be nice to see a thank you or credit for their contributions with their header and footer.

It's up there now; thanks for the reminder! I was going to but I somehow managed to forget all this time.

Hey Virtue, would you mind adding Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity to the subforums? The forum itself has a lot of potential, but I feel like it isn't getting the attention it deserves. :3

squiggle bath agrees. xD

I also agree with squiggle bath and Sigma! It's coming out in what, a month? >:

Haha, it's all taken care of. I wouldn't want to disappoint.
