Pokemopolis (note the lack of "é") is a fan site maintained by Dodgemaster Tim and Dodgemaster Lex, and originally Dodgemaster Brandon as well. It is popular for being one of the few openly satirical Pokémon fansites that is able to maintain a wide degree of popularity, having just reached its 200,000th hit.
The site is dedicated to the proposition that "Pokémon is NOT a children's cartoon." It is well known for its detailed and humorous anime episode guides, contests, Anti-RocketShipping stance, dislike of Ritchie and Snap, and its promotion of Koffing.
Generally speaking, most of the humor is innuendo and parody that might not be suitable for very young children; the site is geared more towards teenage and adult fans.
History
Pokemopolis was originally a generic pokémon fansite run by Dodgemaster Brandon, called Pokémon, Pokémon. Unfortunately, it was not successful, and when Dodgemaster Tim and Dodgemaster Lex, who had been introduced to Pokémon by Brandon, began to pick up on the innuendo present in the show, they decided to change the format of the site to one that explored the dodgyness of the show, and Pokemopolis was born.
Over the years it gained a lot of popularity, to the point where in mid to late 2003 the amount of people in the forums was beginning to rival that of much more well-known Pokémon websites. The amount of people visiting the forums has lowered a lot, partly due to the removal of a chatroom in late 2003, but it still remains a fairly popular site.
