What is Bulbapedia?
- Main article: Bulbapedia:About
Bulbapedia is the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. It currently has over 4,000 articles and it is growing every day, with new information flowing in from Bulbanews and resources like images being stored in Bulbagarden Archives, as well as information being added and edited in articles daily.
Bulbapedia was started by Bulbagarden on December 21, 2004, and released to the public on February 14, 2005. It is the English member of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, a collective group of Pokémon wikis working together to provide information on Pokémon in different languages.
Bulbapedia is ultimately managed by the editorial board. They have the final say of what stays in Bulbapedia and what goes. Any problems should be taken to them for resolution.
