Back in the late '90s, a [[Big Name Fan]] of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' [[Fandom|Community]] named Bulbasaur established a site he called [http://www.bulbagarden.net/ Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden], or [[Bulbagarden]] for short. In 2001, the site was shut down due to an inability to pay server costs. Another [[Big Name Fan]] known as Archaic created a forum backup, and in 2003 relaunched Bulbagarden to the general public.
In 2005, Bulbagarden created the ever popular [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page Bulbapedia], a community driven Pokemon Encyclopedia on everything that is Pokemon. In 2008, [[Big Name Fan|Archaic]] was "sold" to HAVA Media, owners of [[Game Informer]] and [[Anime Shimbun]] (for which they wanted him), in exchange for the full payment of the Bulbagarden servers ''and'' the deal of leaving all its issues on the hands of its community. Since then, all ad revenue is spent on the community's Christmas contests, when real-life gifts (such as game cartridges and manga tomes) are given away to the winners. Lastly, in 2010, Bulbapedia was one of the original wikis to join the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, as it was created in part by Archaic.
Line 14:
It should be restated that Bulbapedia is a division of Bulbagarden, not the other way around.
▲=== It has sections for: ===
* [[Anime]]: Has an [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f228/ entire forum] to discuss it.
* [[Manga]]: There's a smaller subsection dedicated to ''[[Pokémon (manga)|Pokémon]]'' manga.
Line 24 ⟶ 22:
* [[The Wiki Rule]]: Bulbapedia, as mentioned before.
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Ban on Politics]]: Averted. [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f414/ There] is a whole section devoted to political discussion, although the rules are heavily enforced there in order to keep a sense of peace.
* [[Caption Contest]]: The Anime forum has an ongoing one featuring screenshots from the latest episodes.
