Teams have just been added to the forum. If you want to be part of a Team, please share a screenshot providing your Trainer Name and your in-game Team either here or via private message and I will add you to the respective Team. A Team can be set as a Flair and as a Title in your personal settings. Furthermore, you will be added to a Group with members of the same Team.
I’m not sure if there is anything supposed to happen, I expected a notification or something like that but I didn’t get one either so I guess there is no way to tell?
If you cut a bit on the top left corner of your profile picture and then re-upload I’d expect you’ll be moved up a bit more to the middle. An Articuno on a zipline looks interesting too, though.
