'''Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis''' is a group project of various {{wp|Multilingualism|multilingual}}, independent [[Pokémon series|''Pokémon'']] wikis. It was formed as part of an alliance between [[Bulbapedia]], an English wiki, and [[PokéWiki]], an German wiki, and expanded to include other independent wikis in different languages.

The name, Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, translates to '''Encyclopedias of Pokémon''' in Latin.

==History==
After the English Bulbapedia was founded in 2005, another wiki, the German PokéWiki, approached [[Bulbapedia]] for an affiliation deal. Bulbapedia agreed for the affiliation, and the foundation of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis was born. The wikis remained relatively dormant in their language deals for months until [[Pokémon Wiki]], a Japanese wiki, joined the alliance on June 26, 2006. Next year saw the addition of Polish [[Wikinezka]], French [[Poképédia]], and Portuguese [[LANDpedia]], followed by Spanish wiki [[Pokéteca]] in 2009, Italian wiki [[Pokémon Central Wiki]] in 2010, and Chinese [[52Poké Wiki]] in 2013. [[WikiDex]] soon displaced Pokéteca in 2018 after the latter was declared defunct in 2013.

In 2010, [[Zelda Wiki]] approached Bulbapedia for an affiliation deal. Originally considered as an expansion of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, the two wikis, alongside [[Super Mario Wiki]], would instead create a new organization based off Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis. This basis would be the creation of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]]. Pokémon Central Wiki also partnered up with [[Super Mario Wiki (Italian)]] to form the Italian branch of NIWA, the [[Network italiano wiki indipendenti Nintendo]].
