Bulbapedia is a community-driven indepedent English wiki about the Pokémon series. Founded in 2004, and opened to the public in 2005, Bulbapedia is a sector of Bulbagarden, a Pokémon fan community. Its name is a portmanteau of "Bulbagarden", the Pokémon website that runs Bulbapedia, and "encyclopedia". Both Bulbapedia and Bulbagarden get their names from Bulbasaur, the first Pokémon listed in the National Pokédex order. Bulbasaur also acts as the mascot for Bulbapedia under Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis.
Bulbapedia is one of the founding members of NIWA, along with Super Mario Wiki and Zelda Wiki.
History
Bulbapedia began as an idea for a Pokémon wiki, in the style of Wikipedia, to be set up by the Pokémon community. Eventually, Bulbagarden took the initiative, with Zhen Lin establishing the wiki in private on December 21, 2004 and Bulbagarden second-in-command evkl assuming authority as its first Editor-in-Chief. The original period of development looked for members of the Bulbagarden community to write for "a collaborative and open work environment which makes interacting with other staff and looking up information very simple." This proved unsuccessful, but Bulbapedia proceeded with around a dozen contributors, and reached 100 articles within three weeks.
It later opened to the public on February 14, 2005, and was marketed as "Bulbagarden's Valentine's Gift to the Fandom". Under evkl, the wiki grew from Bulbagarden's pet project to a large database of information. Over 21 new articles were created within the first 24 hours of operation, and within the first three months 1,000 articles had been written. evkl handed handed off control of the wiki to Zhen Lin in early 2006. The 10,000th article was created three years later, on June 29, 2008.
In April 2006, Bulbapedia and the German PokéWiki would come together to create Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, a multilingual network of Pokémon Wikis. The project currently includes seven member wikis of various languages, being: Bulbapedia (English), PokéWiki (German), Pokémon Wiki (Japanese), Poképédia (French), Pokémon Central (Italian), WikiDex (Spanish), and 52Poké Wiki (Chinese). Under Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, Bulbapedia is labeled under the color green.
At one point, the administrator of Zelda Wiki contacted Archaic, the webmaster of Bulbapedia, about a possible affiliation. From these talks, it was decided that, rather than a simple affiliation, that the two would start a network of Nintendo wikis (originally called "Independent Nintendo Wikis"), expanding upon the concept of the Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis project. Zelda Wiki would later convince Super Mario Wiki to join, and on February 14, 2010 (the fifth anniversary of the public launch of Bulbapedia), the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance was launched.
In April 2017, an app version of Bulbapedia was launched for Android devices.
