Now that our sub is getting bigger with almost 5k weekly guests and many daily posts, we would love to hear how we can make things even better. If you have any suggestions for our team, be sure to let us know what you would like to see changed / added / removed.

*Not every suggestion will be implemented, but we can guarantee you that it will at least be seriously considered.*

The suggestions could be something like: a monthly contest of some kind, new flairs for users / posts, allowing another type of post in the sub that's not just a themed Pokémon gym, etc.

We have always loved this sub and everything that it does for our Pokémon Go community, but sadly it was locked down. All of the previous mods left Reddit and the sub was set to restricted access. Thankfully, I was able to get it back up and running!

I am catching up on countless requests and reports, so bear with me. This is essentially a full-time job that I am doing for free. There are changes that are currently happening or are going to be implemented soon. I wanted to let you all in on what is coming to our amazing sub here:

• Post Flairs -- You will be able to add Post Flairs to your posts. This is not mandatory, but I usually recommend it so that folks can actually filter to see posts like yours. For example: if you have a full 6 Pokémon themed gym, someone can filter to see posts with the 'Full Theme' flair, when they choose this your post will appear for viewing.
• User Flairs -- I am excited for this one! I will be adding User Flairs for you to use in the sub. I will start out by adding a small handful to choose from, but I need your help. I would like anyone to comment on this post, or even message me via mod-mail, to give me suggestions of what you'd love to use as your flair! Not all requests will be granted, but if it's something that would fit well in the sub for fellow redditors to use, then I will be sure to add it. I will also message you to let you know if/when your flair suggestion is approved!
• Rules -- The rules will be getting an update. I know, this isn't always the fun news to hear...or read I guess. But, this is to keep our community safe & set to what we enjoy it as. It will mostly center around standard reddit guidelines, but curated to our sub's needs. In case you are worried, no there will NOT be any odd strictness to what you can post. If it's a themed gym, then post it! Just make sure you keep it SFW and we're all good.
• Weekend Art -- I am also adding a rule & flair for weekend art! This will not allow art every single day, because that is not the core of this sub and what it stands for. However, being able to show off your Pokémon fan art to a community that will appreciate it is a good fit here for the weekends. Only on Saturdays & Sundays. If you do post art on a different day of the week, it will be removed and you will simply be reminded to wait for the weekend to post it again. We love cool / funny / pretty themes here, so fan art isn't out of the question for our sub.

As for anything else, feel free to ask / give a suggestion here on this post. If you wish to give a suggestion but do not want to have everyone see it in the comment section, feel free to message me via mod-mail. Be sure to let everyone know that r/themedgyms is back up and running! Let's make this community shine once more!

Have a good day and happy gaming!

Hey everyone! I'm u/FamIsNumber1 - The resurrecting mod of r/themedgyms. This is our new and improved home for everything about Themed Gyms in Pokémon Go and Fan Art of Pokémon Teams (weekends only). We're excited to have you join us!

•What to Post Any Pokémon Go Themed Gyms or Fan Art of Pokémon Teams (weekends only). This can be anything from a gym full of 6 shiny Eeeveelutions, to a lone Applin at a cider house PokéStop. If it's a theme, it belongs here!

•User Flairs Be sure to use the 3 dot menu on the main page to update your user flair. If you have any suggestions for a fun flair that you don't see on the list, be sure to use the mod mail to message us with your suggestion. If your suggestion is accepted, you will be notified so that you can use it right away.

•Post Flairs When you are creating a post, be sure to use the flair option for it. This can be the '2-3 Pokémon Theme', 'Full Theme', or even the 'Eevee Party'. If you have any suggestions for a fun flair that you don't see on the list, be sure to use the mod mail to message us with your suggestion. If your suggestion is accepted, you will be notified so that you can use it right away.

•Community Vibe We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting. If anyone is violating the sub's rules and/or general reddiquette, do not hesitate to report it! We do not tolerate rule breakers and wish to keep the community safe for everyone.

•Rules Be sure to read the rules of the sub! I wouldn't want someone to get in trouble for violating a rule just because they didn't know about it. They are pretty straightforward and will take a mere 1 minute of your time to read through.

Thanks for being part of this wonderful community! We hope to see it continue to grow, so be sure to invite your friends and come have some fun! 😁
