Pokémon LAND was a Brazilian Portuguese-language Pokémon fansite that was established in 1999. While its initial purpose was to be merely a news site, it quickly broadened its horizons, and even had a wiki, LANDpedia, that was affiliated with Bulbapedia. Its forums and main page were shut down slowly after the wiki closed.

LAND is short for LAND of ANimated Dreams, making it a recursive backronym.

History

Pokémon LAND was founded by JoJo and Armageddon® on October 26, 1999, but was not released to the public until December 9 of the same year.

The domain it was under changed many times, however, it has been stably at pokeland.net for several years. The ".net" top-level domain, however, was only reserved as Nintendo itself had already registered pokeland.com.^[1]

There has been no updates to the site since 2010 and scarce activity on the forums since the aproximatelly the same time. The website's domain expired in 2020, and the site was soon taken offline. Currently, the site's domain redirects to a GoDaddy holding page.
