Serebii's problem is that it's literally never changed its layout since the late 90s/early 00s. It looks like something they fell out of AOL.

Serebi is a news site and little else. It never goes back and fixes anything, so its information isn't reliable.

You can recruit Onix in Groudon's dungeon, can't you?

Yes. There is another dungeon but that one is the easiest one to get to the floors where Onix is, I think its recruit rate is 0.1%

I love the site design. It's easy to understand I don't see the problem.

I used to laze around Bulbapedia clicking "random page" but now not so much because it's covered in ads.

I don't use bulbapedia as much as serebii because the Pokemon page layouts on bulba are ass and I've seen too much vandalism to care anymore.
I use serebii for convenience on news and new games (since everything is simple and already laid out).
I use PokemonDB for stats, since smogon takes a bit longer to load.
I use Pokebeach for the TCG.

It's also fucking ugly and 17 years out of date.

What vandalism? Is this another one of those "The ability to edit means all the information is always wrong" Wikipedia memes?

No, this is a "I've seen entire page replaced with a single image and 'feces' copypasted in place of text" post.
Regardless, I did say I dislike the asinine page layout on bulba's pokemon pages so even there wasn't vandalism then I'd still prefer other sources. Not to say I've never used bulba, just that there are better ones.

But Onixs friend area (Boulder Cave) can only be obtained as a reward from random missions. Can you even get those before beating the story?

I love older web design. A lot of newer websites look ugly to me. Same goes for UI, I'll gladly take something like Windows 98 over pic.

It's simple easy to use and understand (especially for beginner breeders IMO) with all the info you need.

But it's ugly and old so it has to go?

The average American mentality everyone.

I've always wished another website would pop up and give Serebii and Bulbapedia some proper competition so they would be forced to fix their mess.

I remember a while back some German web designer made a thread advertising the layout of his new site. The site had a beautiful layout, but the owner had no plan beyond "make it a clone of PokemonDB, except prettier". Shame.

The joke is that iOS (arguably the last super revolutionary thing they did as a company) is the reason WHY coloured boxes with a simple image inside is the standard way to arrange a touchscreen interface.

Serebii is best for new game information and Pokearth. Smogon is best for checking base stats and movesets. Bulbapedo is best for pretty much everything else.

Not inject, there's a password system that's been cracked so you can create your own passwords with whatever you want and then input them.

It's a one man show. He does go back to fix things but people may need to prod him about it. Some older games do have bad sections but it's not as bad as you make out. His site is still more reliable than Bulbapedia. Bulbapedia had the wrong stats for the Pikachu with Ash's Cap for 4 months before someone fixed it.

He's pribably fighting him for the second time. You can't even make another party leader before beating the game. So that confirms it.
