While server issues still remain, Bulbapedia has been restored to its normal, rounded self, with the {{roundy}} being found to have caused only minimal problems, mostly with regard to a slowdown in loading pages for those browsing the site due to the switch statements present. Roundy remains in service, now without the switch statements, while eight new templates take over for rounding individual corners and sides of Bulbapedia's tables.
The server issues that remain appear to be related to Bulbagarden's load balancer, which, under normal circumstances, keeps the five servers that the website operates from in sync and serving Bulbagarden's community as one united entity. This glitch, which appeared as we were fixing the roundy-related issues, will possibly be flushed out of the system when the Bulbawiki network upgrades to MediaWiki version 1.16.0 on its exit from beta. Until then, please be patient, and tread lightly on your edits, which can make for disaster if too many are made in quick succession, especially to templates. If Bulbagarden goes down for any time, expect it to be back up within five minutes, thanks to a new feature which will auto-restart the website after a crash.
Meanwhile, discussion of the new Pokémon introduced with Generation V can be made on the Bulbagarden Forums. Articles on the recently-revealed species will be up in due time, when more data can be gleaned from future screenshots and videos, as ones we currently have access to are limited in this.
