Nope. They've still got it locked. Which is kind of hilarious, because the big banner at the top of the wiki says:
>Check BNN and Bulbanews for up-to-date Pokémon news
Yet he's at least a week behind everyone on news.

>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.

I get he wants to prevent hearsay and troll edits, but the cost of that is that bulbapedia is irrelevant in the early gen.

They have dozens of fucking editors working on the thing, and they still haven't added shit. Meanwhile, Serebii has covered huge amounts of the game all on his own, and has tons of useful info up.

What's the point of having a Wiki if you are going to lock everything when a new game comes out? It's ridiculous

Meanwhile, on Twitter:
>For the X/Y launch, we've more than doubled our previous records for numbers of simultaneous visitors, and unique visitors in a single day.

Congratulations, Pomf, you just let down more people than you've ever let down before, and cemented your place as a slow and irrelevant place of no importance in their head.
Why are you boasting about that?

His logic is so backwards. When those huge numbers of his didn't find what they were looking for at Bulbapedo, they obviously went to Serebii. And since they likely FOUND what they wanted there, that's where they're going to continue going.

I saw Carbink's (and only Carbink from the ones I've checked) page having a list of moves it learns by level up, though no exact numbers for some of the moves. That info might have been taken from Smogon though.

Still find it hard to navigate somehow

I was in Serebii's chat looking for trades yesterday, and he mentioned that he absolutely demolished hit records, and that the server is continually bottlenecked on a 1gbps line.

That I can understand as he has been going crazy on what he has had. Hell, I don't think he has much left to do other than moves and stats. He even got us high quality images.

I hope that fat fuck sees this thread, and unlocks the goddamn site. But then again, this shit's hilarious

Holy shit, are you me? I prefer the name and layout of Bulbapedia, never bothered to learn much about the maintainers of either site. I've used both in the past, but Bulbapedia is my go-to. After the word "serebii confirmed!!!" were engrained into my head forever I started to subconsciously check there every now and then, and I noticed that things like Mareep that show up as "Trade" for Gen VI on Bulbapedia have their routes listed on Serebii, and Serebii has even more useful info. It's really a pain to get anywhere though, I can hop on Bulbapedia and find a specific page I want at any time, but I'm scared to even close my Serebii tabs.

The smogon info gathering threads are pretty solid, although terribly formatted.

Indeed. There's a quick and dirty walkthrough on Smogon I've been using that's helped alot.

Bulbapedia has the translations of the names of attacks and pokemons and so on in different languages. That makes serebii kinda hard to read if you're not playing the english version

The hilarious thing is that Bulbapedia will most likely be using Serebii as reference when they add things, like they did with Black & White.
