Serebii is a Thief

I know a lot of people probably don't care about the TCG community, but I think people should probably know about this since it's been happening for a few years and involves everyone's favorite webmaster (Serebii).

A lot of people in the TCG community are getting tired of Serebii Joe constantly stealing TCG content. He takes Bulbapedia and Pokebeach's stuff and "rewrites" it. He's been confronted about it a few times and always promises he won't do it again or makes a lame excuse but he still continues to steal anyway. The TCG community isn't as big or well-known as the anime or VG community so he thinks he can get away with it and that no one will notice or care.

With the Japanese set that was just released, he stole all of Bulbapedia's translations - errors and all - and posted them to his site. He's fixed a few of their errors since then (and will probably fix the ones I've listed here once he sees this post), so I took screenshots and compiled the proof in the attached image for you to see. He has the same errors as Bulbapedia when they first posted their translations and my list doesn't even cover them all.

Serebii claims he hasn't stolen Pokemon stuff in years and goes around complaining about Bulbapedia ripping off his pages all the time, yet he does the exact same shit. He's a total thief and hypocrite and no matter how many times people ask him to stop, he continues to do it because he thinks he can get away with it.
