Hi guys,
I just wanted to know what your opinions are on Serebii, one of the biggest Pokemon news sites. What do you like about it, what do you dislike about it, what changes would you like to see, etc. Ultimately, I'm trying to understand what /vp/ thinks of Serebii.

It's a good site, the problem is the owner.

Serebii Joe himself as a shit but the site being so painfully 90s is pretty charming. If you know where to poke around you can find pages that are older than a lot of the users here

faster for moveset info and stuff than bulbapedo, especially for earlier generations. other than that I could take it or leave it.
Only dumb zoomers complain about the dated layout. The site works fine.

This. If I want to see what moves Bellsprout learns in Gen II I can get that information quickly and easily on serebii. Bulbapedia is always freaking out with pop up ads and videos and by the time my finger taps the link a new ad had loaded moving the link down and making me click the ad.

God I'm such a boomer.

Good general source of Pokémon news. It’s also good for early in-depth game information, but once the info is all out, PokemonDB is miles better to use.
Oh and Joe is absolutely insufferable.

It's easily the most trustworthy site, but if you dig DEEP you can still find a few pages from the early days when it wasn't as credible.

I remember when the first trailer for the deoxys movie dropped and he suggested the block bots were a new species of Pokemon. It's probably still in the archives.

To be fair he does get a lot of unwarranted hate here. His site is reliable, and the information is pretty well organized. If he didn't make an ass of himself by acting like a Pokemon authority or making speculations on his personal social media, I think people would have less to say about him.

poor user interface, but fairly decent in terms of detailed content and timely updates. You can try to call me a zoomer for not liking the 90's ui but the custom google search is kind of tacky.

Joe doesn't update certain aspects of the site like not explaining where to find certain items unless you scroll down even further.

Take the Dusk ball for example, he has 2 separate sections for "Locations" and "Shopping details", just put them together you fuck

I think the problem with Joe is that he could easily hire a team of people to help him both build and run a more modern website design, yet doesn't.

Joe's other problem is that he does not take criticism well, which means he'll be more likely to get angry on Twitter. Angry Joe Merrick is an insufferable follow.
