But their "lore" and trivia is bullshit most of the time.
Mostly because they cross canons.

It's much easier on the eyes and easier to navigate than Serebii.

Apart from that, it's shit.

The news section seems to be days behind the rest of the internet.

If I need to look up a Pokemon, usually it's the first link. I can see the base stats, resists/weaknesses, and level up moves really easily by just scrolling down. If I'm looking up where to find an item, usually it's pretty easy to find the info on bulbapedia.

It's really no better or worse than any other wiki on the internet.

Mega Pokemon obviously just keep the original Pokemon's moveset, since they're just in-battle transformations, not separate Pokemon. Swampert has been able to learn Hammer Arm since DP.

The purpose of Bulbapedia is to do the job of multiple other sites, but slower and less effectively.

I'm 90% of the time on mobile when i play pokemon and i find bulbapedo more userfriendly on my phone than serebii. For the little i usually need a wiki (moves learned, at what lvl, HA, etc) bulbapedo is easier to navigate

I really don't understand all the hate it gets. I actually don't get if it's just "for fun" or if it's real.

not that i particularly care anyway

For game info, it's pretty terrible. For whatever reason, you have to skim through anime, manga, trading card, movie, and breakfast cereal appearances before actually getting to the part that matters.
Have the XY egg moves updated yet?

>During this time Caurt came up with the idea of having a Shippers Dance Party, the concept for which would much later evolve into the incessant Shippers Proms. Basically it was an RPG dance thread, and the "DJ's" would post up song lyrics, and everyone could pretend to drink and eat refreshments and ask each other to dance. During this thread a PokéShipper called Phyx began to like Chaos.

This is the most autistic shit I've ever read

Who the fuck are you, congress?

That's like saying posting scans on /vp/ is "stealing" information from corocoro.

They SOURCE their information from other sites, because yes, they are lazy shits. But the concept of "stealing" news is fucking stupid.

I like it because I enjoy reading bullshit trivia and they seem to have more info on NPCs in comparison to Serebii. Like, in-game dialogues and stuff.

I still go to Serebii for Pokedex. But man, the layout is shit.

Have you never used a wiki before? Just click on the fucking section header at the top of the goddamn page.

Also, unless you're running Windows 95 and have Skyrim running in the background, it should take like 2 seconds to scroll through that shit anyway.

Sourcing info from other sites involves mentioning that other site as your source, Pomf. Not just copypasting paragraphs.

Sad thing is, none of this is news to me. My spergy sister was all about this shit. She used to blabber on all the fucking time about shipping.

If got so bad that she would put a bunch of names in a cup, and draw them out in pairs at random and make fanfics about them. She called it the "Shippers cup of doom".

It grew to include all sorts of anime characters. The "Of Doom" bit came from (what else) Invader Zim.

I seriously wish I was making this up. Needless to say I no longer have contact with my sister. This is the tip of the iceberg for her sperg.
