>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.

Have they reported on Murrica Bank yet?

Bulbapedo tooks weeks to get any X and Y info up, and then they just stole it all off Serebii. Nobody goes to Bulbapedo because they're shit. Whoever wrote that is talking out of their ass. They're late on everything. Also, who wants to support a paedophile?

>>17861203 We are also aware that Bulbapedo has multiple errors when it comes to items and information, right? Serebii at least does a quick check.

>>17861271 when did he admit he was a paedophile? not denying it, just asking.

>>17861326 it's common knowledge that was a secret forum that had underage photos on it, there's also a screenshot of him on here saying "age is just a number". i don't have the pics, but yeah it's confirmed that he loves kids.

>>17861271 They still lack so much XY stuff. All Bank only Pokémon have no XY data. They're missing a shitload of Egg Moves, and some of them listed are even wrong.
Bulbapedia is a fucking joke these days.

That's because of Pomfret's dumb rule of never updating until everything has been officially announced

>>17861461 That's the one. There's a
Tumblr that goes into the secret forum thing a lot more, though I don't remember the link to that either.

>>17861414 Which is hilarious, considering Bulbapedia has misinformation out the ass when it comes to lesser known subjects where your average dude can't easily spot and correct errors.

>>17861380 Fun fact, if you check Elgyem's page, they've added to the trivia section that it can learn Steel Wing through TM in gen 6. What they HAVEN'T added is the learnset for gen 6. You'd think they would update the important shit first, and THEN add the pointless trivia, but nope.

I now only go to Serebii and Veekun.

while I dont care for this pedo, I share his view on serebii.

I use Bulbapedo for anime information and the image galleries. Other than that Serebii is the way to go, although I wish the actual site layout wasn't so abysmal and Web 1.0

>>17861894 Serebii has earned our trust and respect, with a few errors here and there.
Archaic on the other hand noted that the female Pikachu in the Mystery Dungeon special had a "very interesting cosmetic change". SIX YEARS after the gender difference was announced.

>>17861904 I've been going to Serebii for over a decade, but Jesus, he needs to overhaul his design. He can keep all the vintage genwun crap in some kind of archive, but there's no need to keep years-old shit cluttering the navigation.

>>17862049 I keep reading here that he said somewhere that he's working on an update to his layout this year, though it's just going to be a spruce up, rather than an entirely new one.

Just introducing collapsible menus or something would be a start.
