[[Pokémon X and Y]] have now been available worldwide for a few weeks now, and because of that updates to the articles have been slow to say the least. In the past, with the games releasing in Japan before releasing anywhere else, it was much easier to compile information so by the time the games were released in English, all the information was already up on the site. We'd like to ask all of our readers to please be patient with us while we work to update the site. To our editors, please make sure all information you add is from an official source, and make sure to maintain a positive attitude. There is a lot going on, and not starting conflicts gives staff more time to update the information they find and less time having to keep the peace. If you update a page, please make sure the information you add goes into its appropriate section. We would like to advise users to focus on the main articles and not trivia sections at this time. While trivia can be fun and interesting, most of our articles are severely lacking in core information, so that should come first.


The start of a new Generation not only means the start of two new games, but also the start of new chapters in the anime, TCG, and manga series'. The {{series|XY|XY series of the Pokémon anime}} follows the adventures of [[Ash Ketchum]] as he travels across [[Kalos]] with {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. The [[Trading Card Game]] has started releasing cards featuring Pokémon from the Kalos region as well as receiving a new [[Energy]] for the {{type|Fairy}}. A new chapter in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] series featuring two new protagonists, {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}, is currently in the works. We'll need help keeping the new X and Y episodes up to date, and {{u|Maverick Nate}} is working hard to keep our TCG sections up to date with cards featuring the new Pokémon introduced in the Kalos region. Make sure to check {{n|front page|Bulbanews}} for any news regarding X and Y across the franchise!
Effective immediately, new requirements regarding the use of four templates that are extremely important to the continued improvement of Bulbapedia have been mandated:

An outlined rationale helps to expedite administrative action, and helps to prevent confusion and misunderstandings that can result in mistakes. Keep in mind, the staff aren't mind readers, and not every nomination reason is obvious.

Effective immediately, new requirements regarding the use of four templates that are extremely important to the continued improvement of Bulbapedia have been mandated:

When using the templates {{Split}}, {{Merge}}, {{Move}}, and {{DiscussDelete}} to nominate articles for administrative action, a section outlining the rationale for the nomination must be added to the article's talk page. Nominations lacking an outlined rationale will no longer be considered.

An outlined rationale helps to expedite administrative action, and helps to prevent confusion and misunderstandings that can result in mistakes. Keep in mind, the staff aren't mind readers, and not every nomination reason is obvious.
