I really appreciate all of your support. Obviously, Serebii isn't a looker and I know that. Fun fact. in 2019 I did literally recode the entire website to look exactly the same but with much more modern technologies...so it's an intentional thing.

@KryZenDesigner So I had been putting some plans into place...but Viz heavily DMCA'd the forums for any Manga discussion and almost cost the site its google positionings so I am a little hesitant...

@JoeMerrick As I've been slowly going through the site to make a shiny dex list across all the games, I've come across little typos or inconsistencies. Is it worth mentioning where they are when I find them? Not like its a big deal, just not sure how much you want them fixed

Back in Uni they had us try to redesign a website that had a minimum of some huge number of pages. I chose Serebii and realised quickly the immense amount of work that has gone into it over the years and was humbled. 😅

@sohpeeah @leafzproduction However, there is an anchor at the top for other means of navigation and on mobile which will bring you straight there if you click it :)

@sohpeeah @leafzproduction So this was actually done with intent, though granted it's a desktop based intent. I always put it at the bottom of the page so you can press the End key on your keyboard and be taken straight there. Anywhere else on the page and you have to hope to scroll to the right nit.

@chrysos_i I live by the view that if you need to slam other things down to make your thing look good or stand out, then it doesn't deserve the attention.

@JoeMerrick I actually did go check the video out and ironically, it was a very well done video and the ideas weren’t terrible site wise, but you lose a high level of favorability when you use a catalyst of bringing other sites down 🤷🏾

@JoeMerrick i can understand his perspective as like, a comp player or something, but as a casual enjoyer of the series serebii has always been home. where to find it, how to evolve, what the shiny looks like, it's all front and center and super easy to read appreciate you mr joe serebii <3

@kbigz_ They seem quite stubborn so I don't think that'll be the case. However, they need to learn that when you haven't done the work, you can't have the ego.

@JoeMerrick I was going pretty hard in the comments section because they were so snarky about their 2-day-old site being so much better than yours, but now I fear that we bullied him off the internet when he had genuine interest in working on a new personal project

@Rants_NAIR I watched it. They were continually pushing others down to pull their stuff up. That is NEVER the play. Things should stand on their own merits. If you have to push others down to be seen, then you don't deserve to be seen

headline is really baffling to me because the only thing blisy said that was "rude" was in the thumbnail. unsurprisingly it seems people did not bother watching the video

@Rachi_Lynn That's very true. The frontend may be simple, but the structures behind it and the code behind everything are so unbelievably complex. I mean heck look at image galleries etc. in addition to the maps.

@JoeMerrick You’ve also added more modern features to your site for newer games like the interactive maps, which has truly helped so much in more open world Pokemon games. So it’s not like you aren’t modernizing at all, just keeping the graphics of the site simple

@JaceCear This is true. The way I coded the front end of the site means that it can handle far more load than others that get similar hits that are far more intricate in their display.

@JoeMerrick The less "garbage" is on a website, the faster it loads. If someone added a billion things to their website and it became unresponsive because of it, that wouldn't be good, imo. So I don't mind something being simple, if it's at least responsive. ^^

I have also trialled dozens of modern layout styles and none of them fit what Serebii sets out to achieve. Modern website designs just encompass designs for blogs and pages with less than a dozen pages. Serebii is not that. Finally, what is useless to some is useful to others.

The main thing is that people typically reference the desktop layout. However, do note he mobile layout is used by 80% of the visitors to the site (such is the Internet in 2026) and it is more modern. Also remember, we do have Alphabetical listings and other filter methods.

@JoeMerrick LOL dude the dollar signs is the reason why they banned it, they don't want the elevated insurance and security cost that come with vendors having 500k-1M value at their booths, this wasn't some angelic move by them, it's risk mitigation

I am not mad at this one bit. This is the absolute worst part of the hobby and I hate how everything about the TCG has shifted to just being about money. It's not just the obvious that caused it but so many content creators focusing on it have done so much damage Good on TPCi

For the first time since its inception in 2009, the Pokémon VG Championship Series no longer runs on a main series game. Though at Worlds 2009, some battles were done on a special unreleased version of Pokémon Battle Revolution which included some Pokémon Platinum content.
