Message from the Editor

July 1

Starting this month, we are going to revive the featured articles process on Bulbapedia. On the first of every month, one featured article will be featured in this space. The first one will be in August, while July will serve us to try the new system:

Every FA nomination will remain open for one month, at the end of which we will decide whether or not to give the article in question Featured Article status or not. Just like before, every user can nominate any article the old way, as long as the article fits the criteria. Every user may vote, provided that they explain their opinion – but note that the topic in question isn’t what the subject of the article is, but how good it is – its prose, details, accuracy, design, and level of interest. The final decision will not be based on the number of votes alone, but on their content as well.

Many of the articles that were nominated up until today have changed a lot in the long time they were nominated, and so many votes became irrelevant. To start off with a clean slate, the nomination page was cleared and all nominees were voted on. History of Pokémon received featured status, and several other articles have been re-nominated with a fresh slate. The rest were rejected for the time being.

Please vote and nominate away!

From Bulbapedia's latest changes:

...that, although Pokémon belonging to Ash first appeared in the TCG in the Japanese 7th Movie Half Deck, his Pikachu wasn't depicted on a card until a promotion for the 12th movie?
...that the town of Porta Vista actually was two different towns in the original Japanese version?
...that there have been two pairs of remakes in the Pokémon video game series, each coming two generations after their originals?
...that six chapters of Pokémon Special are fully collected into volumes, a seventh is currently having its rounds collected into volumes, and an eighth has recently begun serialization?
...that the newly-announced Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games to be released on WiiWare are very likely the first Pokémon games to be released as three counterpart versions simultaneously?
...that Jirachi is the first Pokémon to be distributed via Wi-Fi?
