Serebii's Pokédex information is much more concise and readable. Bulbapedia is better for paragraph reading becuase Serebii can't into English.

They rely on far more traffic than /vp/ provides.

Honestly, they're losing money right now, too. Their choice not to update is costing them page visits during one of the most trafficked events for Pokemon.

Hopefully they get their act together, or, better, the site goes to someone who isn't an autistic fucking pedophile.

Flashback to Wottergate:

Serebii was the one who swore the starter evo designs were legitimate, in spite of everyone constantly mocking him and being in denial over it. He stuck to his word firmly. He never wavered. I know he's not the best webmaster, but I have to commend him for that.

Meanwhile, Archaic would spend several of his days actually going to /vp/, desperately trying to discredit Serebii as much as he possibly could (probably because he didn't personally have access to the same information since no leaker or webmaster actually fucking liked him) and would even post backlogs of conversations he and Serebii had, trying to paint him as a villain and an attention whore to rile /vp/'s hatred up. When not doing that, he would spend his time ON THIS BOARD trying to justify furryism and pedophilia and everything else under the sun that's cancerous.

And as you can guess, when Gen V was actually released, this really blew up in Archaic's face. He's a monstrous faggot and you guys know it.

With Black 2 & White 2, whenever Serebii posted in his discovery thread, the BulbaNewsNOW twitter would tweet with what he discovered. It was ridiculous. I think people started realizing it back then.

It's one thing if Archaic mooches off of Serebii's discoveries, but what made it so damning I think was the fact that Archaic also did every little thing he could to make Serebii look bad.

Now why in the fuck would you do that to the person you're stealing content from? It's like trying to mug an old lady and then shoot her in the head for no reason afterwards.

Because he wants his site to be as big as Serebii. Now it is around the same thanks to google traffic and people preferring the wiki format but he wants Serebii gone.

I can't help but look at news, too. There have been several instances where Serebii was a bit late with news, since he is in the UK and sleeps, but Bulbagarden, despite its diverse staff, still didn't post until after Serebii.

>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.

No they're not. Both Pomf and Joe regard their sites as information and news sites. Bulbagarden is a news site, Bulbapedia is an information site. Serebii is both.
