April 1, 2010 was an April Fool's Day that fell on a Thursday.
Hoaxes
Bulbagarden
- Bulbapedia temporarily rechristened itself as Slowpedia, "the sluggish and mellow Pokémon encyclopedia", complete with Slowpoke family imagery and pink Slowpoke colors throughout the site.
Fan sites
- PKMN.NET "announced" that the site would be slightly shifting its focus away from Pokémon and become the #1 fansite focusing on Manchester United footballer, Wayne Rooney, whom the site says is secretly a Pokémon addict.[1] The site was also slightly redesigned with Rooney imagery.
- Dogasu's Backpack was completely resigned with a total shift in focus from Pokémon to Digimon and renames itself to Numemon's Backpack. This change was so great that its Bulbapedia article became a candidate for deletion because "it was no longer a Pokémon fansite".
- Legendary Pokémon broke news that, according to the official Japanese Pokémon website, players of HeartGold and SoulSilver who upload a Slowpoke nicknamed "Movie13" to the GTS, looking in return for another random Slowpoke, will receive a blue level 30 Slowpoke holding a "Lock Capsule", which can be transferred to the upcoming Generation V games and allow the player to capture Zoroark.[2]
