Do you visit the official english Pokemon website?

[Jorah]

Nope. Unofficial sites seem to know loads more than official ones XD Sometimes I look at the Mailbag, but that's it and only about once every few months because there are a lot of stupid questions like "what is the best starter?" but they'll probably reject more complicated questions from the older fans, heh.

Im just wondering, is the jp. site just as bad? I've never seen it.

https://www.pokemon.co.jp/

It has a lot more stuff on, that's for sure. They've got a shop on there...somewhere XD I think it's the section with the Giratina and Shaymin

https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/pokemon/p090116_01.html Lots of Pikachu stuff! Cute!

Ive never understood why Pokemon releases news after everyone knows it. I mean, doesnt this encourage unoficial sites from getting credit for the news. Ive never understood the benefit.

At least they should have shown platinum info when plat came on japan, and they should just translate the jp site. But then they would say "This site feels to japanese, lets westernize(aka ruin) it

Back when I discovered the internet I typed in Pokemon on my search engine (Google) and found Pokemon.Com from it.
I used to always rely on this site for news, and only this site. I never about the Japan-only games at the time, so I used to think it had the best information.
It wasn't until Diamond and Pearl came out in Japan when a Wikipedia link led me to Serebii.Net, which soon became my home site for the time being.
After figuring out what a forum was I decided to Join Serebii Forums, which had a lot of information on Pokemon and Nintendo, before....


Anyway, I haven't visited the site in months. I do, however, visit it every few months or so, but only to see if the site is any different.

Once every month or two for fun.

I visit it one or twice in 2 weeks.

I visit it often. The Mailbag is always fun to read. People who are saying it's useless, don't forget; It is made for children. Specifically, children who don't go to Serebii, Bulbapedia, Pokecommunity, etc.. I used to go to it all the time when I was younger.

It's success has faded over the years, because there are more pokemon fansites that are more dedicated to helping Pokefans like us enjoy pokemon more. So yeah, I'm personally on Seribii or Legendary Pokemon at least once every two days
