@VirtuallyMarti People better not be disrespecting the GOAT Mr. Joe Serebii. I’ve been using his site for over 15 years. It’s been the most consistent resource for a very long time and is solely maintained by him? Absolutely amazing.

Friendly reminder that Joe is THE ONLY PERSON updating Serebii. He works so hard. Some things prioritize others. Rude comments are not appreciated.

@JoeMerrick @makio_jroses GET EM JOE

@makio_jroses Upscale claim. You have the same cropping and magic wand artefacts mine do Your weird upscaling tried to hide it but nope You also copied an error I made with the Auspicious Armor and Malicious Armor ordering of the habitats. It's still on your site but I corrected it fast.

I'd honestly prefer to reply directly in the original conversation, but since I can't, I'll quote it here. Sorry for the long post, this is also a bit of a personal rant. The whole situation around credits and citations, especially on PokéTwitter, is getting out of hand, and I really don't think I'm the right person to be lectured about this. Especially when there are clearly accounts out there that thrive entirely on reposted or reused content without ever properly crediting sources, and we all know exactly which accounts we're talking about. I've always been kind and available to everyone. We’ve never had beef with anyone because that's not why I'm here. We’re just trying to bring good content and useful tools to the community. I put everything I have into this, and the people who follow me know that. I invest all my free time into this passion project, and I lose sleep trying to keep the site updated and consistently deliver content. So being told that I don't credit people or that I steal information is simply not true. And Joe, at this point some of the things being said about us are just false accusations. The only time something like this even came up was during SV, and even then other users pointed out that Serebii was clearly credited everywhere, every time we used data from you. (image attached) We have a dedicated credits page where everyone is mentioned for their work. If someone can tag @ dhelmise or pass this along, I'd appreciate it since I've been blocked and want to make sure my response is seen. I'm sorry for all this, but you were still included in the credits along with everyone else. I hope everything is fine. And when someone asked in the comments where the data came from (before I even saw your tweet), I immediately shared your Gist as you can see. I'm not here to gatekeep or claim work that isn't mine, I always give credit when it's appropriate, and always did. That said, you all know this isn't easy work. This isn't copy-paste content where a site runs itself. I spend hours organizing data and doing manual data entry. There's a lot of time and effort behind everything I publish. It's not “a lame” copy and paste website. Right now it feels like only Joe is being recognized for doing this kind of work, which honestly isn't fair. We had already started working on Pokéopia habitats before him using trailers and preview footage. As for the “upscale” claim, I genuinely don't know where that's coming from. It may be confusion with another site or app. Some images we used came from Polygon, which is also credited. If they used and upscaled your images, that's not something we were involved in, we didn't upscale anything ourselves. And in EVERY “paper towns map” (SV as already mentioned and Z-A), the content we got from you is LITERALLY MENTIONED BELOW THE MAP. And it's definitely not EVERYTHING from you. We do A LOT of work too. You are not the only one. As for the Champions information, I never used Joe's work. I started from the community Excel by RoiDadadou, where Serebii was mentioned as well, and put that as credit after asking for permission. Then I was shared KrisXV's Gist and used that for all the missing data. And again, credited on the site, just like everyone else. Actually lately I've even avoided looking at Serebii specifically to prevent situations like this, because it's frustrating for me too. We always respect everyone's work. Anubis (which replied on the thread), I tried reaching out to you years ago but never got a response or a way to contact you. Still, you've always been included in the credits, and we genuinely appreciate your work. Joe, I respect you a lot for everything you've done. If I'm a Pokémon fan today, it's also thanks to you. But nothing is automatically owed, and you're not the only one putting in sleepless nights. Please respect the work of others as well, especially when you don't have the full context. We already had a chat about that, and you seemed chill. I really hope this doesn't happen again. Right now I'm being attacked and portrayed in a way that doesn't reflect who I am or what I do. I always try to keep things open and respectful, but I don't understand the constant negativity on Twitter. Everyone is credited. From my side, there will never be any stealing. If I miss, sorry. I hope this helps clarify the situation for everyone. And to those who may have blocked me without really knowing me, if this is the reason, I'd genuinely ask you to reconsider, because this is very likely just a misunderstanding or a lack of full context. We can talk. Our DMs are open and we'd love to work together with any of you to build and deliver even more useful content for the community. We've always been open and available, and I have no interest in creating problems with anyone. I don't want a toxic environment, these things can simply be talked through. Also, just to put things into perspective: there have been cases of applications copying Joe's data, and even copying our own work, like our Habitat Planner tool, which we were the only ones to have at the time, along with many other tools that reflect the different focus of our site. Our work has been copied too. But honestly, that's not the point. Credit matters, and I'll always be the first to say that. Everyone should learn to give proper credit. At the same time, we're dealing with public information, data that, ultimately, anyone could gather themselves. Joe is always able to publish things faster because he can dedicate a significant amount of time to it, and that's something we respect and appreciate. On our side, we also have full-time jobs, so things may come out later, but that doesn't automatically mean they're copied and never credited. We do our best too. Right now it feels like no matter what you do, it's never enough: if you don't credit, it's wrong; if you do, it's still questioned. That's not a healthy dynamic for anyone. I hope this can be taken as a broader message for the community. I just want to contribute positively, keep building, and maintain a respectful environment where people can actually talk things through instead of escalating things unnecessarily.

@OldSchoolRS @J1mmyRS @JagexAyiza @Alec_Sween Incredibly rude to bait me with the hopes of a By Release episode with the Twitter notification

You want a new episode of By Release? Well, you can't have one, but you can watch J1mmy on The Official Old School RuneScape podcast!

@HasanabiProd Hutch has always been a weirdo degenerate. Why are people still caring about his opinion?

Streamer "Hutch" reveals he would vote for Jeffrey Epstein over Hasan Piker if he ran as a Democrat. "do you trust that (Hasan) would not nuke Israel?" "The reason why I would not necessarily disqualify Jeffrey Epstein electorally is because first we would have to establish if he supports liberal democracy, the whole thing with Hasan is that he doesn't"

@Faux_Freedom @OldSchoolRS Oh I didn’t realize! Thanks for the clarification 👍🏻

@Wendigoon8 That must be where they’re storing the Epstein files.

Caves must be full

Bro CJ needs to be pulled. He’s actively holding this team back.

Seems like someone didn’t get the point of the source material. Just like squid games.

@HoustonTexans @Nerbit_13098 can you beat Fallout 3 as the Houston Texans?
