Frequently Asked Questions

If your question is not found here you may contact PLDH Administration for an answer. Of course if your question relates to our forums perhaps you should first check that FAQ for an answer.

What is PLDH.net?: Simply put PLDH.net is a Pokémon website and most importantly a community. This website differentiates itself from others in attempting to focus on and offer purely educational (be it competitive or ingame) content that pertains to the video games themselves. We do not cover anything related to the card games, anime, or the manga.

Competitive Pokémon?: In all rights the competitive aspects of Pokémon have their roots most deeply ingrained in the Smogon community, however, other sites are attempting to break into the competitive arena and we've been at it for 2 years now! Competitive Pokémon battling was around even before Smogon but most successfully developed with the advent of Netbattle, a now nearly defunct online battle simulator. Competitive aspects of Pokémon revolve around metagame structure, assume advanced knowledge and use of hidden mechanics found in the games, as well as those known mechanics.

Pokémon?: GTFO.

You guys are a lot of talk but I don't see much!: Well, we are assembling a site that attempts to offer premium content across all relative spectrums of the competitive and intelligence base of the Pokémon world; its a massive task! And we only have a few dedicated souls working on these goals, so it takes time. Yet, everyday, we make a little bit of progress toward these goals and with every new member willing to work with us we gain knowledge and speed, and as a result power.

Why should I join this website in comparison to others?: PLDH.net is a small, relatively unknown Pokésite and that works to our advantage, we think. While small, this is a welcoming group to newcomers and good ties are quickly established because of that. Even though we're small there are members from nearly every spectrum of the Pokémon world found here so you're sure to meet someone similar to you. This is a community on the rise and as a result outstanding members and their contributions to the growth of our projects and knowledge base are quickly recognized and respected. We design our knowledge base to be the most efficient on the internet with regard to Pokémon knowledge. In the future that will be the defining characteristic of PLDH.net. Majority rule is another defining characteristic of this dynamic community.

I can't login after I make an account, can you help?: There are many reasons for this. First you should try clicking the link found on the forum homepage titled, "Delete all board cookies." If that does not work you should attempt to clear your browser cache. This is generally done via Tools>Options in your browser menu. Of course if you are using Internet Explorer we recommend using the Opera or FireFox web browsers.

I keep getting logged out!: See the above resolution. If all else fails please contact the support team! We don't want to lose you as a member!

I'm a nub, can you help me improve competitively?: That depends on how likable you are despite your nubness. Generally yes.

Where is _some page_?: Our menus and navigation are very easy to sort through... General informational items can be found in the horizontal links list located just below this answer, in our footer; including a sitemap. For general site navigation try the horizontal list located under our banner. If all else fails... contact us (note: I was actually more inclined to say not to contact us..).
