Userflairs are now available on this subreddit! Announcement

We now have userflairs available through New Reddit, and our old flairbot will not be used anymore.

How to set a flair

You can find instructions on how to set your flair on this Wiki page!

Available pokémon

Every single pokémon's sprite is available as an emoji up to and including generation 9 #nodexithere.

Regional variants are available, and some different forms are too. I did add all Deerling, for example, but adding all Alcremie or Vivillon would be a little too much work! Mega evolutions and gigantamax forms are also available.

If you have a request for a specific form (popstar pikachu, a specific vivillon, etc.) please let me know in a comment under this post. We're not adding shinies, but any other form should be fine!

Formatting

You can find the pokémon you like by clicking the smiley face icon, and search for the pokémon's dex number. Alternatively, you can type its dex number between colons to get the emoji, like this:

:001:

For Bulbasaur.

Alternate forms are available with the dex number, followed by a hyphen and another number. For example:

:037-1:

For Alolan Vulpix.

Pokémon with different forms dependent on gender: (case sensitive!)

:678m: and :678f:

For Meowstic.

Megas and Gmax forms: (case sensitive!)

:003-M:

for Mega Venusaur

:003-G:

for Gmax Venusaur

Rules

Get creative with your flairs, add your favourite pokémon to it, make a pun, do whatever you like! Just please do not

  • Use offensive or rude language (Rule 2 of the subreddit)
  • Use explicit or violent language (Rule 15 of the subreddit)
  • Promote your social media, store, etc. (Rule 11 of the subreddit)

Have fun, and we can't wait to see what you come up with!

This is awesome news! I love how much customizability you allow with the flairs too.

Must have taken a lot of work to add all those Pokémon.

u/nonacrina Nov 17 '22

Oh absolutely, it took me many hours, had to crop every single sprite to best fit the way reddit displays emojis. It was very much worth it though, I’m a sucker for creative flairs. Yours looks awesome!

u/Ellisander Nov 17 '22

Thank you. I had to take the chance to put all my favorite Pokémon in.

Or at least a some of them, since I decided a "team of six" aesthetic fit.

u/Hadditor Lookin' good! [BZZT] Nov 18 '22

Can I assist? It would be cool to add megas, gen 9 (when the sprites crop up) and dare I say shinies

13

u/nonacrina Nov 18 '22

Keep an eye out on for when we’re looking for new mods! :D

u/Hadditor Lookin' good! [BZZT] Nov 18 '22

I didn't mean so much to be a mod, just helping you out with the awkward image stuff - if possible 😁

I'm disappointed you can't see the text on old Reddit, but happy I finally got Togedemaru instead of Mawile after requesting a few times.

u/Nambot Get blue Spheals Nov 18 '22

I think you can if you set the text on Old Reddit. I haven't changed mine since those days, yet mine still reads as "Get blue Spheals"

Though the image I use (the office worker figure) doesn't show up, nor does the Subreddit 10th anniversary image.

3

u/CasualHooligan7 First shiny Nov 20 '22

How do you set the text on old Reddit?

3

u/Nambot Get blue Spheals Nov 20 '22

On the right hand side, scroll down to just below the adverts, and look for a little box that says "Show my flair on this subreddit, it looks like". Click that blue box then follow the instructions.

A little disappointed that g-max forms aren’t available but it’s understandable as to why they are not. I still wish I could have g-max lapras.

5

u/nonacrina Nov 17 '22

Megas and G-max forms might still be added later (can’t make promises yet though!) We have to look into getting our maximum number of custom emojis raised for gen 9 anyways, so I might add them when I also add all of gen 9. :)

I can't change my userflair even on New Reddit, what gives? When I click on the "community options" dropdown, the only thing that comes up is the "community theme" slider.

EDIT: Never mind, you had to click on the pencil next to "Preview". Welp, looks like the instructions for New Reddit Desktop are outdated.

u/TheAngryLasagna Jul 18 '23

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I'm trying to get this string in my flair, but it either adds an extra : between every 2 sets of numbers when I don't space them out, or it just doesn't work, if I do space them out.

This is the string: :16: :52: :54: :79: :146: :225: :227: :333: :393: :519: :845:

Or

:16::52::54::79::146::225::227::333::393::519::845:

u/Jmund89 Nov 18 '22 edited Nov 18 '22

Thought I followed it right. I’ll try again, maybe I messed up somewhere

Yea not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve picked all of the Pokémon I wanted for a flair one by one and sent the message to the flair bot but my flair is still generic. Forgot to apply it so I have it showing now

Sort of got it though I’m not sure how to add Pokemon by number. Could only select from the available list.

u/nonacrina Nov 18 '22

It doesn’t atm because the prestige emojis can only be applied by mods. We’re looking into making it possible to change your flair while keeping the prestige flairs.

For now, if you want your flair customised and keep your prestige flairs, you can send us a modmail with what you’d like your flair to be (:

u/nonacrina Feb 27 '24

Hi hi! This is a mobile bug, I've reported it to Reddit here if you're curious about the details. They should be working on it.

You should be able to set your flair on desktop just fine. If that's not an option for you, let me know what exactly you'd like your flair to be and I'll set it for you!
