Would you want to be able to upload pics from your phone as pfps?

Why would it only be a phone? Why not any computer?

It doesn't matter anyway. They would never allow it, especially on a family friendly forum. Children might upload photos of themselves as profile pictures, which could potentially cause legal and safety problems. Someone will inevitably try to upload inappropriate material. Allowing users to upload files to your server represents another potential security concern. And Pokémon probably don't want people using copyrighted material from other franchises on their official forum.

The only version of this that could possibly work would require each picture uploaded be checked and approved before use, which creates more work for the moderation staff. And even then something will inevitably slip through.

It's not worth the hassle. Better to ask for more avatar options.

maybe you can, but only once you’re six stars! (🤭)

Ehm YES PLEASE

But actual mod-checked, or some fellas will 1000‰ do .…............ you know................ not aceptable pfps............
