Bulbagarden Archives, often referred to as simply the Archives, is a digital repository for images and texts, primarily from Pokémon canon. Its editors are able to upload picture files for use for the whole of Bulbagarden to use. Both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews use images from the Archives to add visual aids for articles and various pages. The website was launched on April 10, 2005 by Zhen Lin. It continues to grow daily and aims to be a successful and organized source for images for the Bulbagarden network.
Images stored on the Archives are generally copyrighted works used under the fair use doctrine. They include screenshots from the anime, sprites from the games, official artwork, screenshots from the games, scans of the manga, Trading Card Game and books, photographs of the Trading Figure Game and other merchandise, and many other kinds of images. The Archives formerly hosted personal images for users to use in their user namespace; they were deleted at the end of May 2011.
