Serebii.net has occasionally been the center of controversy, as its webmaster has faced accusations of theft in the past. '''[[Serebii (person)|Serebii]], the owner, claims that he personally has stolen nothing since mid-2002.''' Since mid-2002, there has been one case of material appearing on Serebii's site that had been created by another fansite; however, this resulted from the work of unscrupulous fans stealing the material from the original site and passing them along to Serebii, without informing him of the source. Although he has shown reluctance to remove such material at times, Serebii eventually accepts to do so in the vast majority of cases.
With that problem aside, Serebii.net is a site used across the globe by 10s of thousands of different people each day and linked across the web by trainers who both request and require help on the variety of subjects of Pokémon.


It also had a close affiliation with the short lived Pokémon Official Magazine in the UK.
