Interested in seeing what using the site is like? The best way to do that is experience it, and the best way to experience it is to register and play for yourself.

Registering

Clicking on the large "Get Started Now!" button on the PFQ home page will allow you to begin creating your account. Do not forget to read the Privacy Policy, and it is a good idea to also read the Site Rules.

Be careful when you enter your information. Most of it is difficult to change later. Some things, like your Date of Birth, cannot be changed without VERY good reason.

Your Username needs to be unique. If you choose something you do not like or make a mistake while typing, you have one free username change. After the free change, username changes are less likely to happen without very good reason, and may be denied altogether. This is to prevent confusion with other users.

Most of your other information also cannot be changed without staff assistance. The only exception is your password, which you can freely alter from the Miscellaneous Settings page. Still, be sure that your password is both strong and something that you can easily remember. Using words like "pokemon" or "123456" is not safe. The safest passwords use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For example, "g50EoS" may be a safer choice than "pokemon." Your e-mail address needs to be correct because you will need to validate your account to fully join the site. It is one of the three steps you need to take in order to ensure that your account is not deleted.
