Over the years, Pokémon Vortex has used multiple sources as a chatroom from IRC to the current Discord.
Discord was set up originally to be launched with v4 but replaced IRC in v3's mid-life span and has proven the most popular chat format so far with the users and staff.
Pokémon Vortex's Discord has multiple channels with different purposes ranging from general conversation, trading and mini-games playable within the chatroom by interacting with bots.
A large variety of customisation options and API's available for Discord make it highly suited for Vortex as a chatroom with some current and upcoming in-game integrations with Discord to Vortex such as checking a users account status, seeing who has a specific Pokémon in their trades and even playing Pokémon Vortex within the chat itself.
With the links possible between Discord and Pokémon Vortex, who knows what the future holds for it.
