Website Main Page

Bulbagarden Archives, often referred to as simply the Archives, is a digital repository for images and texts, primarily from Pokémon canon. Its editors are able to upload picture files for use for the whole of Bulbagarden to use. Both Bulbapedia and Bulbanews use images from the Archives to add visual aids for articles and various pages. The website was launched on April 10, 2005 by Zhen Lin. It continues to grow daily and aims to be a successful and organized source for images for the Bulbagarden network.

Images stored on the Archives are generally copyrighted works used under the fair use doctrine. They include screenshots from the Anime, Pokémon species sprites, official Sugimori art, images from the games, and images of real-life products, such as game cartridges and others.

Staff

Maverick Nate was the first real Editor-in-Chief of Bulbagarden Archives, and remained in this role until early 2011 when Jello took over the role as Archives Director.

Bulbagarden Archives is overseen by an Advisory Council, headed by the Archives Director, that collaborates on all executive decisions, including the making of policies. There are also many administrators who oversee the day-to-day running of the site.
