>I know it’s petty, but it really irritates me how nobody ever goes to Bulbagarden for breaking pokémon news. It’s always Serebii or PokéJungle or PokéBeach, but never Bulbagarden, even though all of those other sites, in some way, try to mimic Bulbagarden or Bulbapedia’s style of delivering information. We break the exact same news at the exact same time from the exact same sources, yet even on our own Facebook page we get people telling other commenters to “go to Serebii for confirmation” when it takes us 0.02358734 seconds longer to post something because people are incapable of typing at twice the speed of light, and that’s not counting the time we actually take to confirm that what we’re saying is complete and accurate to the best of our knowledge and ability. No fan site has any authority to confirm anything, and no site is any more or less credible than any other. If Serebii or PJ or WPM couldn’t update their sites for some reason, the news would still break. Bulbagarden does have a Facebook page, a Twitter account, another Twitter account dedicated to breaking news, and even a Tumblr page, all of which you should totally be following, and at least has the advantage of having multiple moderators for all of its social media sites across many time zones, but no one ever seems to believe anything until Serebii posts about it, and that just makes me sad.

Bulbapedia also had a secret mods only pedophilia board. Serebii didnt.

>>14434442 This gets thrown around a lot, does anybody have a source for those interesting in knowing more. I rarely use Bulbapedia anyway, but this is nuts.

Well gee, maybe people prefer Serebii over Bulbapedia, because Serebii doesn't have a dozen animated ads on every page. Seriously, if adblock didn't exist, Bulbapedia would be impossible to browse.

The problem is, he wants people to go to his site for breaking news but he refuses to post leaks

>>14434540 what's in the dropbox link? I'm not opening any material relating to accused pedophiles with the word 'gallery' in the url

>>14435901 Pictures from an 8 page thread in their mod forum talking about the porn forum, who has access to it, and descriptions of pictures in it.
There's no porn in the dropbox itself, just posts from people that make it very clear that they HAVE underage nudes in another thread.

Serebii has stayed up 42 hours straight SO FAR to cover the game for us.

As someone who used to frequent their forums, I can confirm that Bulbagarden was so scared of being Nintendo'd that if you made the smallest mention of ROMs, you'd get an infraction/warning. Even mentioning you had played a ROM would get you a warning, and let's not forget that it was an even bigger drama pit than Serebii, and the IRC chatroom was a circlejerk.

So is there any actual GOOD Pokemon community online? Bulbapedo is a hot mess of shippers and pedos, Serebii will smack you upside the head with a ban if you step on his toes, PokeJungles ghetto as fuck, and well /vp/... JUST LOOK AT US.

So I'm confused. How is this guy NOT in jail? Actually... More importantly, why is no one reporting him for (knowingly?) hosting jailbait in retaliation for narcing the leakers? Or is it to keep those naive-ass kids from getting slapped with a sex offender charge?

>>14436982 He got a point though.
I may even expect Nintendo to do Digital Release only next gen to avoid that.
>>14437190 Wow, that has nothing to do with his point, good job not getting it.

>>14437190 He wants to put news out. Rather than hiring one of the leakers to put news out, he narcs them because he wasn't the first to get ALL the leaks.

And GF didn't plan this global release in order to stop leaks. It's irrelevent.
