History

The website, along with its trade station, was first launched in July 2007 with high hopes of becoming a Wi-Fi staple. Despite offering a range of interactive features, activity stayed fairly low in its opening months. The site continued to grow however, further developing its Gallery and Pokédex in mid-2008 which garnered a rise in activity. Partly due to word of mouth, the forums became a commonplace for website and general Pokémon discussion at which point the total recorded trade-count had reached 100. Around late 2008 the website was upgraded to its current V2.0. Along with the upgrade came the interactive tab, bringing about mass speculation as to what this button was for.

It was only until 2009 that activity really took off. Febuary 14th saw the launch of its sister site, Global Pokedex Plus. More casually referred to as GPX Plus, the unique adoptables website allowed users to adopt Pokémon Eggs and hatch, raise and evolve them. This feature attracted a surprising amount of new members, and in just a few months the website garnered thousands of active members. With its continually growing member base, most of the websites updates are concentrated on GPX Plus. Special events are held monthly, allowing members to obtain rare Legendary and Novelty Pokémon that are otherwise unobtainable.
