Hello Pokémon Fans!

We've got some exciting updates about Bulbapedia to share with you today - let's get started!

First, let's start thinking with Browsing Portals! A Browsing Portal is a new, curated way to navigate the encyclopedia; you can explore a variety of topics all from a single landing page. Starting off, we have portals prepared for Video Games, Animation, and the Trading Card Game to help you navigate these media, with more to come later, so be sure to take a look.

Next, user account name changes are now live! If you've been waiting for this feature — or are simply in the mood for a change — you can post your request on the username policy talk page or message one of our many volunteer staff on their talk pages. They'll be happy to help!

Now, we'd like to share a few policy updates:

• With an increasing number of leaks of TCG cards, we've updated our Unreleased Materials Policy to include illegally obtained cards. Going forward, leaks of cards and products that occur during the production process, such as theft or unauthorized photography from a printing facility, will not be covered on Bulbapedia.

• In order to provide further clarity and consistency across projects, we've updated the manual of style with guidelines on how to title articles. You can read the detailed update on Bulbanews here: Bulbapedia: Messages from the Editor — May 27th, 2024

And finally, I'm pleased to share that Bulbagarden and Bulbapedia are hosting a staff drive! If you have any interest in joining our volunteer staff team, fill out our Bulbapedia Junior Administrator application before June 16th. We hope you take this chance to make a lasting impact on our community encyclopedia - we can't wait to hear from you!

That’s all for now. See you next time!
