Serebii or Bulbapedia?

I have always, for the most part, used serebii out of habit.

Bulbapedia but moreso because it's what I first started using and I haven't felt the need to switch since! The first time I used Bulbapedia was when I was waiting to be seen in the hospital when I was 10. I wasn't looking for particular information, I just wanted to read up on Pokemon-related content to distract me and I got drawn into reading Bulbapedia articles for the next 4 hours. Good memory from an otherwise bad day and I still will sometimes read up on articles on Bulbapedia if I catch myself having to wait outside. :D

I use both of them. But I mostly use Serebii because Bulbapedia has so many ads for me. Usually when I am looking on Bulbapedia, I am looking at history of pokemon, maps and origins and trivia.

When I am just looking at pokemon, Serebii because it loads a lot faster with few ads.

Bulbapedia for Pokemon, but I never touched Serebii.

i use bulbapedia for the most part, but tbh the mentions of pokemondb in this thread have me quite curious to check it out!

been using pokemondb lately for their natdex/shinydex and tbh im liking it so far!

I've used both for different things but mostly Bulba because it has everything I want right there.

Bulba for everything except up to date news and extremely detailed info on side games and mobile games and whatnot, then it's Serebii for that.

Serebii. Just a way easier site to use with less ads. Credit to Joe for keeping it so old school, I know it turns off many people but it makes it very simple to use.

PokemonDB is also good, as is Smogon.

Bulbapedia I reference as a last resort because of the ads. They tend to be more complete when it comes to information like in-game trainer movesets.

to be honest I like serrebii more than bulbapedia

😤

I use Bulbapedia for almost everything, looking up egg groups, moves, EV yields, that kind of stuff. The only thing I use Serebii for is to check gym leader info when I am doing nuzlockes.

serebii is faster if you just want to look up a pokémon. All the info is easy to reach in numbers. Bulbapedia requires 204985 lines of scroll scroll scroll and too much fluff, or having to navigate the menu thingy instead of having everything easily visible all at once.

I do use Bulbapedia whenever I want to know how a move is interpreted in anime or manga though. And just googling pictures d:

I've always used Serebii, since it makes it easier to find what I want, like whether or not something evolves, and also has the ability to filter by type.
