Images of the less rational subjects were promptly posted to Twitter, where many questioned how topics with suggestive themes, such as "tickle tormenting" and being attracted to particular Pokémon, could remain up for long enough to gain multiple answers and hundreds of views.

The official guidelines for the forum invite users to "create an inviting, fun, and safe community" and encourage players to "contribute to the community positively." These guidelines also encourage participants to "contribute to the community positively."

In addition, the guidelines say that "no foul language or inappropriate themes" must be present.
