Serebii.net
Serebii.net or SPP (Serebii's Pokémon Page/Place) is a fan site created by Serebii in the spring of 1999 when many Pokémon sites were starting to appear, seemingly out of nowhere. The site first gained popularity as a GeoCities site, where it was also a member of the Articuno Island network.
It is a well known source for Anime, Nintendo gaming and TCG information. The site currently is one of the most up-to-date Pokémon websites on the Internet, updated almost on a daily basis.
Serebii.net has occasionally been the center of controversy, as its webmaster has faced accusations of theft in the past. Serebii, the owner, claims that he personally has stolen nothing since mid-2002. Since mid-2002, there have been sporadic cases of material appearing on Serebii's site that had been created by other fansites; however, this resulted from the work of unscrupulous fans stealing the material from the original sites 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.
