Bulbagarden
Due to excessive server stress, editing by standard users is currently closed. We hope to have the site re-opened by Christ's Second Coming.
—Bulbagarden is apparently final arbiter of all thing Pokemon gossip, [2] | ||
Bulbagarden, or Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden is an online community of pokemon fans. It was founded by hardcore Elf fetishist Chris Kaleiki in 2001. It is named after the Pokemon anime episode in which Ash once again fails to evolve one of his Pokemon. Bulbagarden went down soon after it was started, and Chris Kaleiki moved on to better things. Australian fanboy Liam Pomfret (aka Archaic) later acquired Bulbagarden and relaunched it in 2002, starting a neverending war with Serebii. Bulbagarden currently hosts several wikis, a forum, and an art gallery. By incorporating these features, Bulbagarden hopes to become the premier internet destination for poké-fapping weeabo furfags such as you.
Projects
Bulbapedia
Bulbapedia is the largest and most well-known facet of Bulbagarden. It is said to be the internet's most comprehensive English-language Pokémon encyclopedia, an extremely dubious honor. Bulbapedia uses notoriously resource-consuming MediaWiki software; as a consequence, the site is always slow, and frequently 504s. In addition to its system resource constraints, Bulbapedia continues to only offer information about Pokemon, making it about as useful as a fleshlight stuffed with glass shards for any adult with an ounce of self respect.
Bulbapedia was created Last Thursday. However, due to the amount of games, the amount of Pokemon anime seasons and episodes, and the amount of obsessed Pokemon fans, the wiki expanded within a few short months to contain thousands of articles.
Unlike Wikipedia, Bulbapedia is actually colorful and pretty. Instead of using plain, old, colorless templates, Bulbapedia uses colorful templates with rounded corners. Bulbapedia displays a mastery of wikitext, HTML, and CSS.
Since Bulbapedia is so slow, users are only allowed to edit their user pages once a day. You also can't create or edit user pages until you've logged a certain amount of edits and time there. These are supposed to prevent Bulbapedia from becoming slower. Editing your user page more than a few times a day will result in having your user page locked from editing and a warning on your talk page:
Due to the current situation with Bulbagarden's server network, as explained in the Messages from the Editor, userspace editing is strictly limited to one edit per day. As you have made X userspace edits today, your userpage has been protected for X-1 days.
Ironically, locking the page adds another edit to the user page.
Every time there's major hype within the problem community (eg. a new Pokemon game is announced), Bulbapedia suffers from severe server lag due to the weeaboos flooding in. Complete shutdowns occurred during the hype of the HeartGold and SoulSilver and Black and White. Since each game is basically released twice (one Japanese version and one English version), Bulbapedia has to experience downtime twice for each new game.
It should also be noted that Bulbapedia glorifies vandals and trolls with special article (eg. The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot), so if you troll hard enough, you might receive a special honor. Please note excessive vandalism by one person at a two year old computer can shut down the site for upwards of a week, so this opportunity is available to even the lowliest EDiot. Uploading goatse under "Hello.jpg" to the archives no longer works as it is a protected create page, however they love tubgirl. They really love tubgirl.
Bulbanews
Bulbanews is Bulbagarden's version of Wikinews. It is still uncertain why anyone would use MediaWiki software for a news blog, but they do it anyway. Bulbagarden's fans whine anyway whenever a news story is posted that isn't relevant to their interests, and practically one person has been posting all news stories three days later than everyone else.
Lately, the official Bulbanews twitter account had been "hacked" by former staff members, resulting in a lulzy war between Bulbanews and Bulbagarden.
Bulbagarden Archives
The Bulbagarden Archives is Bulbagarden's version of the Wikimedia Commons. This is where Bulbagarden hosts most of their files and images.
BMGf
The Bulbagarden Forums, or BMGf, is where all of the bulbavirgins hang out and chat. It runs on vBulletin software, and it appears to feature Gym leader Erika as its mascot. It contains many forums and subforums, including some on the games, the trading cards, the anime, the wikis, and roleplaying. Shipping is one of the forum's most popular topics.
Mozz's Van, named after Bulbagardens main tech guy, was a hidden forum section where staff members could share pictures of their tiny penises and engage in homosex. Sadly, HAVA media, Bulbagardens new corporate overlord, forced it's closure. Can't have porn a children's website.
Bulbagarden Gallery
The Bulbagarden Gallery is where the forum-goers post their fan-art. It uses vBulletin forum software and PhotoPost file-sharing software.
Bulbagarden RPGwiki
The Bulbagarden RPGwiki is a wiki for a select few. It's supposed to be about documenting the forum's roleplaying threads, but it hasn't seen much action since 2005, when the other wikis were established. Unlike the other sections of the site, it just uses the Bulbapedia logo with different text below it; a pinnacle of laziness.
Bulbagarden Okeki
The Bulbagarden Okeki is where community members post their fan-art for everyone to see. It supports the needs of obsessive Pokemon fan-artists.
