In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Uh... excuse me, but no popular site such as "Serebii.net" can be classified as "shit", as it has thousands of users looking at it DAILY; it has also never crashed my PC, even when it's a living T-Rex. I personally use each site for especific things. For example, I believe Serebii's PokéDex is better and friendlier than Bulbapedia's, but Bulbapedia's character bios are more complete and reliable.
I find it understandable that you defend Bulbapedia, Shiay, as you are "a respected moderator and staff member of the site". Regardless, there are other people with different opinions, and, to my knowledge, being a staff member does not give you the right to push others into your beliefs. Just sayin'.
Anyway, nothing written within this post was intended to be offensive or hurtfull... so no dwama kool-aid should be drunk here.

Well, for what it's worth, I've only really ever used the Bulbapedia Wiki, and that's been, overall, far more useful to me than Serebii.
I don't know either, it's pretty creative though. I'll probably choose the grass starter. It's pretty cool, I can imagine the evolvations.
Yeah, it definitely gives off Treecko vibes. I usually choose the Fire Starter my first time through- sort of a tradition, I guess- but I might make an exception this time around. Unless, of course, the Fire Pig manages to have the most badass final evolution since Blaziken.
Well, obviously a moderator is gonna defend the site where she's a mod, so Shiay's opinions should be taken with a grain of salt due the high degree of subjectivity found there.
Only somebody who's not affiliated to any of the sites could give a proper answer regarding which one is better, and even then why limit yourself with only a single site when you can double check the information in various sites other than serebii and bulbapedia and including them as well?
*chuckles* Well don't you think you know your shit.
how about serebii and bulbapedia's superiority have no bearing on this conversation, shiay. Like shun said, it's pointless to argue "oh, bulbapedia's better!" or "Serebii's a piece of shit!". how about we just say "Well, I think this site has a better picture of what we're talking about...." or something to that effect. No need to start flaming, especially when it's off topic.
I'll tell you, I've never used Serebii before(I use pokemon.marriland.com for all the game info I need), and if I ever need information on the anime, I use bulbapedia, but that's only ever once in a blue moon. I havent even gotten on bulbapedia in ages. so.....I say pokemon.marriland trumps them all. lol. just my opinion though.
ANYWAY, just 'cause I tend to be partial to the grass types and because it looks like a hybrid of Treeko and Cyndaquil, I'll probably be going with the grass type. It looks freakin' amazing! >O
GRASS TYPES FTW! lol.
as far as the pig goes, I think we need more pig pokemon. lol. I mean, there's precious few. There's so many other animals that we need pokemon for too, like....camels! lol. there are no camel pokemon yet. Idunno if we have an actual lion pokmeon yet either......although I think Luxray has kind of fallen into that position, I'm not actually sure if its actually a lion or not
As for the otter.....I say we need a platypus more. lol. GIMME A PLATYPUS POKEMON PLEASE!

Someone's pissy u.u Sorry if people don't like to check the facts on for a pointless dispute that can't be called an argument. But meh. I still prefer Serebii cuz the facts are usually better(course I usually dont check both so meh) and they probably tell more about the moves and stuff cuz they don't list stuff about the anime and all that good stuff. Bulbapedia's better for fun, Serebii's better for breeding and battling and all the more 'serious'(if it can be called that) stuff about Pokemon. Also I've had more bad experiences with Bulba, seeing as the pages kersplode in 2 or 3 different ways, and Bulba's not as organized as Serebii.

Well if you're looking for the more serious aspects of Pokemon battling, I'd say Smogon pretty much has a monopoly on the "Pokemon is Serious Business" market. Those guys could teach a college level course on the finer aspects of Pokemon battles...which I guess is what they're going for considering the site's full name is Smogon University, but anyway...
5th Gen Starters. I've gotta say, the Grass starter is growing on me more and more. I know we've seen the whole "Smug Grass Lizard" thing in the past, but when it comes to the Treecko line...well, I wasn't crazy about Sceptile. We went from the ultra-sleek, cool looking Grovyle to a big, clumsy dinosaur thing. I'm hoping GameFreak gets it right this time around.
Ugh.... the last few generations of Pokemon have really ruined it for me. I'm fine with increasing numbers... but the designs have been... well... un-Pokemonish and uncreative. In fact, I could do without pretty much EVERYTHING that came after gold and silver. Come Ruby and Sapphire, the designs were under and over detailed and lacking in the brilliant design of the previous games' pokemon. Some were OK. Others were great. Most were, well... I would've taken them back to the drawing board. Literally.

I dunno, the last couple Generations have given us quite a few gems. Blaziken, Deoxys, Flygon...and how can you NOT love Ludicolo? Seriously. I will admit that 4th Gen was probably the weakest we've had so far, mostly because I found the designs for most of the Legendaries a bit underwhelming (one complaint I do consider perfectly valid is that we have WAY too many Legendary Pokemon in the newer Generations). However, even then, there were a good number of designs I liked. But yeah, I will agree that GameFreak sorta dropped the ball on Gen 4. I mean, come on, they somehow managed to screw up Infernape, and you have to try pretty damn hard to mess up a Pokemon based on Son Goku.
Besides, Gen 1 wasn't exactly void of bad designs. Voltorb and Electrode come to mind, not to mention Wigglytuff. I always thought Graveler was kind of lame, as well. Overall, yeah, it's probably the strongest Generation, but I wouldn't say that GameFreak has lost their touch just yet.
lol, Jay, quit PMSing and just come out with the fact that you actually enjoy all three starers since they've grown on you. >w> Espeically Mijumaru cuz of a certain artist on deviantART that you fangirl over. Tho everyone knows that you're gonna be going for for Pokabu since it's a Fire-Type. >w>
I also still chuckle at the fact that you have more seniority over in Serebii as opposed to Bulbapedia.
Anywho - I like Tsujata of the three of them. Which is good, because I always start off with the Grass starter. I'm still waiting for the rest of the Pokémon to be released. Then again, I'll know who to go to when they first get leaked, luckily enough for me.
I don't know which starter I'm going to choose. Right now, I want the grass starter, but it depends on what it evolves into. Because the third e., your stuck with it until you make a new game.
I'm aware of this... however, I'm a goofball with no seriousness here. I'm just pointing out this all started because of a confusion between the definitions of "fact" and "opinion". Just sayin'.

*chuckles* Well don't you think you know your shit.
And it looks like you didn't read my post properly, I said only somebody who's NOT affiliated with the sites can give a more objective opinion. For an example of what I'm trying to say let's say that I join another KH RP site and then when somebody asks which one is better in an unrelated board I say that world destiny is shit, mentioning that I was member of it previously. That wouldn't really work because I could easily label the entire site as shit only for having a fight with a fellow member rather than due important flaws in the site itself or for condemning a site for an error of the past which was rectified but refuse to accept it improved, only reminding the solved flaws. The situation is made even worse if I hold a position of power in the other site, thus inclining the opinion balance in favor of the other site.
As somebody said previously, both sites have their different strengths and weakness, and you are heavily biased against Serebii for reasons that we don't know, limiting to say "X thing sucks, Y thing sucks too, Z is shit", without actually mentioning clearly what is the fatal flaw that makes them worth of being called shit. Also, using strong language tends to reduce the credibility of any message.
>u> lol, kay guys. I'm thinking that now you're the ones that are needing to drop this whole issue. If Jay wanted to continue on with pointless arguing, she would have done so with Sumdood, considering she has a distaste for him anyways for "practically insulting her site after one of her friends decided to focus more on real life stuff than on the site" (keep in mind that I'm only quoting and I have no idea what happened).
Personally, I'm not a member of any one site; Marriland, Smogon, Bulbapedia, Serebii, etc. - I'm not even a member of Jay's Pokémon RP site, even though I do advertise it.
- Marriland's good for trading card information and provides good deck strategies for any card battler or collector that's still out there. Their information is still all pretty good and is a great site to be referencing. - Smogon's (like Vincent said) good for battle tactics and calculating EV/IVs on your games. It's definitely good when you're preparing for a competition that will be coming up, like the one that's happening close by, here in Arlington. Good place to be getting your UUs in check and all that nice stuff C: (I might add that Smogon and Bulbapedia share a slight affiliation with one another despite having a love/hate relationship with one another). - Bulbapedia covers great biographical information on characters and Pokémon both as well as has excellently written synopses written on the episodes (a lot[/u] of them written by Jay, herself). - Serebii is good for a lot of basic information, though lacks greatly in what other sites such as both Bulbapedia and Smogon have to be offering. If anything, Serebii would be best for the beginning Pokémon enthusiast to be going to. The 'Number One Pokémon Site In the World' tagline that Joe has up for himself there is definitely an overstatement, imho. C:
There... now that you have a rather unbiased set of opinions from someone that doesn't care about the site clashes and whatever hooha that goes on between them all, let's just be nice about this and drop the whole ordeal off. C:
You say 'tow-may-tow'; I say 'toh-mah-toh'.
Personally... I use LegendaryPokemon.com more anyways. C: Or as Jay likes to call it: "LegendDex".
