20 Years in the Making
On February 14, Bulbapedia celebrated its 20th anniversary! What an accomplishment! With over 56,000 pages, 265,000 images, and over 4 million edits, those of us who have volunteered countless hours and endless effort over the years couldn't be prouder. If you missed the festivities, allow me to walk you through the many ways our users could celebrate alongside us.
We'd like to extend a warm and genuine thanks to all our users, contributors and staff who've supported this huge project over two decades. We really couldn’t have done it without you. Here's to the next 20 years, and the next 1,000 Pokémon!
Legends from Z to A
The Bulbapedia team has been fast at work covering all the exciting details! First, have you decided who will be your first partner in Lumiose? Read our article on the subject to get a direct comparison of these ‘mons as we remember them from previous games. But who knows what surprises may be in store! Stay tuned as more information comes to the surface in the future.
There's plenty to explore and fun new faces to meet in this familiar ole city as we parkour across key locations—including some returning in a new capacity as the city undergoes redevelopment. Some old (really old) faces return as well, such as A-Z at the Hotel Z, but with new friends to be made too, such as Urbain.. or was it Taunie?
But who is the mysterious Jett and her secretary Vinnie at Quasartico Inc.? And how is Zygarde involved in the story of this game? We may just have to wait to Z-A later presentation to find out more! Don’t worry, our volunteers at Bulbapedia will be right there to bring together all the Core details and smaller Cells of info there is to know about the next Legends title as we strive for the wiki to achieve its Complete Forme!

If you aren't one of the 100 million players who have downloaded Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, where have you been?!? To celebrate this momentous achievement, Pokémon released the newest Pocket expansion, Triumphant Light! The Mythical Pokémon Arceus descends from the Sinnoh region as a powerful Pokémon ex, headlining the expansion that includes mighty Pokémon ex cards, new Trainer cards, gorgeous immersive cards, and the unveiling of Pokémon with unique Link Abilities. What are Link Abilities? They are special Abilities exclusive to a single Holofoil Pokémon from each main type, interacting with Arceus cards in a powerful way! This set introduces 75 brand new cards to the game, so for the love of Arceus, start collecting, Trainers!
Big thanks to Cipher, Anzasquiddles, Apopheniac and the TCG team for writing the Triumphant Light articles.
Bulbasaur's Bulletin Board
Every month we recognize the motivated individuals who contribute to our community Bulletin Board. This month, we have two contributors to shout out for their excellent achievements completing some much needed tasks from all across the encyclopedia!
First we have Dougbro1! In our ambition to expand character pages, we've added Role sections to various mainstay characters from the core series games that we know and love. It was Dougbro1 who added the missing entry to Iono's page. Thank you so much!
Our next shout out is MisterE13! Did you know? In Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Stadium 2, as well as the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, nicknaming a Pokémon causes it to be recolored. This feature has not been included in any later games. Possibly to emphasize this color change effect, most Non-player character Trainers' Pokémon have nicknames in this series. Thank you MisterE13 for detailing this information on the nickname page!
Pokémon is for all ages! If you haven't heard of monpoké, abcboy is here to tell you all about it! monpoké is the official Pokémon baby brand, with a target demographic of pregnant mothers, infants, and toddlers. Since 2019, this brand has produced products including toys, clothing and apparel, tableware, bedding and interior, miscellaneous goods, and picture books. These picture books have been released in Japan, North America, Europe, and even mainland China! What's more, two series of tie-in videos have also been released: a series of puppet show videos titled Fun Times on monpoké Island, and a series of animated shorts titled monpoké Short Animation. If you haven't seen these animated shorts, now's the time to give it a watch!
