Welcome to the forum! On the GO Hub Forum, you can find lots of information, brag about your newest Hundo catch, or partake in our Community Challenges. In this thread, you may find links to certain topics of interest, and some forum details and etiquette as well.
Friend codes
Our forum is a great way to make new friends, both here on the forum as well as in-game. Due to an explosion of friend code posts in the past, we kindly ask to keep these in our dedicated friend code thread, which can be found here. For users only looking to add friends through friend codes already posted there, we recommend scrolling down a bit and add friend codes from there, as the top posts likely have reached their friend limit in-game.
Referral codes
Are you not just new to our forums, but also to Pokémon GO, or have you not played the game for at least the last three months? Then our referral codes thread may also be of interest to you. You can fill in one of the referral codes posted in the thread on your trainer profile in Pokémon GO, which results in both you and the poster of the code to receive bonus items and even Pokémon encounters, including several strong Pokémon - such as Charizard - to help you through your Pokémon journey.
Community Challenges
Are you in for a challenge? Good news, we have a complete Category dedicated to them! You can either partake in already existing challenges, among them being our popular ‘Community CP increase challenge’, which challenges users to post Pokémon with consecutively increasing IVs and try to reach the highest CP possible, or you can create an entirely new challenge yourself. Challenges may involve anything Pokémon GO related.
Team Rocket Week
Every once in a while, as selected by our Team Rocket leader @Branebs, a special, forum-unique event takes place, called Team Rocket Week. Team Rocket Weeks are identified by a Meowth banner appearing at the top of the forum.
During Team Rocket Week, users may cause some slight ruckus on the forum, including marking images with a big R (the logo of Team Rocket), fulfilling Team Rocket related challenges and make general Team Rocket related comments, such as their slogan, but more creativity is always welcome.
To keep the forum clean, we do ask users to not spam Team Rocket related stuff all over the forums, and to make sure that any comments made still relate to the thread in some way, even if they also contain one or multiple Team Rocket references. We kindly ask our users to limit off-topic Team Rocket posts to only Team Rocket related threads, which can be recognized by the words ‘Team Rocket’ inside the thread title, and our special Team Rocket category. You can find one of those threads here, but there are other threads to explore as well, and you may even create your own if you wish.
By engaging in Team Rocket Week events, users can collect Participation counts. Participation counts can be collected by completing the following steps. After three or more Participation counts, which are received in as many separate Team Rocket Weeks, users will be awarded the Mischievous set badges. You can show off your state of mischief by adding one of these badges as your personal title! For more info regarding Team Rocket Weeks, feel free to reach out to our @staff team or @Branebs.
General chat
Aside from all topic specific threads, we also have a general thread. This thread can be used to post whatever you want, as long as your post stays true to our guidelines (read more below). This thread is part of our Lavender Town category. This category was made to allow posts not related to Pokémon GO, which means that comments in the general chat also do not have to be Pokémon GO related per definition. However, Pokémon (GO) related posts and comments are still allowed in our general thread as well.
Quick search
To help new users find some of the threads mentioned above, we also created a quick search menu. From this menu, you can easily access some of our most popular and important threads, including the friend code thread, the referral code thread, the Team Rocket thread, and this readme. To access the quick search, click the icon showcasing three horizontal bars in the top left corner of the page.
FAQ
There is also some general forum etiquette. Please visit our FAQ to learn all about this. Keep in mind that we operate as mentioned in the FAQ. Comments or posts that do not satisfy our guidelines will be removed by moderators and a ban may be applied if deemed necessary.
GO Hub
This forum is part of GO Hub, and follows the same rules. That means we kindly ask not to post any NSFW content, engage with 3rd party apps through our forum, or post any advertisements. Threads must be Pokémon (GO)-related, though we do allow for more freedom in the category ‘Lavender Town’. That means that topics listed in this category are allowed to not be Pokémon-related. They must however still follow the other rules.
You can visit GO Hub’s website here or by clicking on ‘GO Hub’ using the sidebar.
P.S. Still figuring out how the mechanisms of the forum work - how do I post, how do I comment, like a comment, et cetera? Discobot can help you with that! To find discobot, click on your profile picture in the top right corner and then click on the message that says “Greetings!”. From there on, Discobot will help you navigate through the forum and help you get used to its mechanisms.
That’s it, happy hunting trainers!
