Serebii.net turns 20 today

[PSOreo]

Congrats Joe, been a fan since the site started. It was legitimately one of the first sites I would always go to and check for updates. Long may Pokemon provide you with content.

 

[claudelabonte]

Been using this website since the beginning, I was 7 years old. Ohhhhh wow. Congrats! 😌💖

 

[Xwing]

I can't think of a single fan site that rivals Serebii in terms of usefulness that is actually still around and active today. (I still check the events page at least once a month!)

t's truly unique. Congratulations are definitely in order.

 

[Momo]

Congratulations Serebii.net! Thank you for all of your hard work over the last 20 years. I have been using the site almost daily since the pre-Ruby and Sapphire days.

 

[Dark Knight]

Wow. Good stuff, loved going there when I was a little noob.

 

[KITPUNK]

Wholesome content right there :')

Congrats Serebii, been using the site for as long as I can remember.

 

[Bowser]

Congrats Serebii

Discovered the site during the Diamond and Pearl hype cycle, those were good days

 

[AzureFlame]

Congrats, i love the site.

 

[Bitanator]

I remember when I first started using the site during my Emerald playthrough, it was such a revelation. Pokedex is invaluable

 

[Lucas M. Thomas]

Congratulations, Joe!

 

[Professor Beef]

This and Bulbapedia have been such a large part of my Pokemon-related info grabs that they almost feel part of the inception of the internet itself.

Congrats Serebii and here's to 20 more years.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Happy birthday serebii.net!
(also known as celebi.net in Japan)

 

[GulAtiCa]

Congrats!

I hope it gets an UI change some day. No offense Joe, but the UI/Ux is so bad, I try to avoid the site the most I can, since really get confused trying to use it... lol

 

[mhayes86]

Serebii.net was a godsend when I needed info on online events and such, but 20 years? Damn, congrats! I don't think I discovered the site until HG/SS was released.

 

[wideface]

Congrats, Joe! Here's to 20 more years!

 

[Menx64]

Wow, I am old, and so is Serebii and John!

Contrats Serebii !

I dont remember what was I looking when I first went to Serebii, but I know it was in the early 2000's... I believe it had something to do with Castform...

 

[mreddie]

Holy shit, the site was made just as Johto came out or was coming out?

I honestly thought it was closer to the Advanced era.

 

[Deleted member 13015]

Its part of my childhood, one of the websites I went to a lot, from serebii.net to watching Flash cartoons, to playing Neopets/Runescape.

Thank you Joe and Congratulations!

 

[Nightbird]

Man, I had no idea the site is that old.

My little brother wasn't even born when the site was created and the guy is paying rent now hahaha

 

[metalslimer]

Congrats Joe!

 

[Deleted member 40179]

Here's to 20 more years of teaching middle schoolers how to moderate Internet forums. Checking Serebii was a daily ritual from when I was 13 up until maybe 17.

 

[The Last One]

Congrats. Amazing site and all my friends who play Pokémon use it.

 

[Cruxist]

Serebii is by far the best Pokémon resource site online. I can't fathom the amount of work that goes into gathering everything, and the fact that it's been live for 20 years is awesome. Gratz, Joe, and thanks for being a staple in my bookmarks for years!

 

[snail_maze]

Congrats, its my go to site if I need to check sth about a pokemon

 

[Phellps]

Truly one of the last few bastions of game-dedicated fansites, and easily one of the best, for sure. How much the website has helped me play Pokémon through all these years can't be overstated.

 

[Tace]

Been using the site for well over 10 years now, happy birthday Joe!!!

 

[Wanderer5]

Congrats Joe!

Definitely feels like a lot of passion is put into this site. :)

 

[vodalus]

Congrats to Joe, not a Pokemon fan but always appreciated his contributions here and at the old site.

 

[Hikari]

Been using it since release and that's crazy. I still remember browsing this was I was a kid... pretty insane. It is definitely a milestone you should be proud of, Joe! It is the best source for pokemon of all time and Celebi is amazing.

 

[Ashflow]

Don't always agree with Joe around here but his work and dedication deserve a lot of respect. Serebii is a fantastic resource alongside Bulbapedia.

 

[PancakeFlip]

Certianly does take me back. You can certainly tell its a legacy site, thing still isn't completely mobile friendly.

 

[Serebii]

Thank you all. Not going to lie, I feel overwhelmed from all the positivity I've received today :)

Working on it. Have to recode every page and have had to shift my focus to SWSH preparation. The most visited sections are pretty much done

 

[Cantaim]

Serebii is the best Pokémon site on the web! Don't bother @ing me if you disagree cause it's a fact

 

[PancakeFlip]

Thank you all. Not going to lie, I feel overwhelmed from all the positivity I've received today :)

No pressure, I understand completely, it was mostly a tease honestly. The fact that you got this far without needing to update it shows how useful and influential its been all these years.

 

[Wulfric]

Serebii is essentially a World Heritage Site. Here's to another 20!

 

[Clefargle]

Congrats joe! Best fansite EVER

 

[Deleted member 3815]

Truly a great website. I use it daily for due to just how detailed the information are.

I haven't venture the forum since 2012 though but I had fun memories there.

 

[Deleted member 54216]

Liked this site due to the huge amount of information but i don't Support it anymore. I don't like joes behaviour. Its like he works at GameFreak and defends literally anything.

 

[The Boat]

Well done Joe, congrats!

 

[SgtCobra]

I owe you a lot Joe. Here's to many more years.

 

[Danicard]

Congrats to everyone involved. It's the most useful site for Pokemon info :)

 

[Koppai]

Congrats Joe, I think I discovered Serebii.net back in 2003, when my name was PokemonScott on there. Thank you for sticking around so long, I really appreciate your website!

 

[Maedhros]

The user is on my blocklist, but the site is amazing since it's inception. Just everything you want about Pokemon is compiled there. The best pokemon fansite out there.

 

[BasilZero]

Favorite Pokémon site

 

[Zan]

Dogasu's Backpack is also getting up there in years, although the site is mostly for the Anime.

 

[EtrianFOE]

Thank you all. Not going to lie, I feel overwhelmed from all the positivity I've received today :)

Can we have a peek at the mobile site?

 

[It’s Time To Go]

When I first went onto serebii, I was 11. I am now 26. Fucking hell.

 

[Jessie]

My Serebii forum account was made in 2004. I feel so old. 💀

 

[Serebii]

Congratulations on 20 years!

[Beren]

I appreciate the scans and information on the old Wizards of the Coast TCG. I'm sure I'm the only person on Earth who has regularly visited those, and I'd just like to say thank you.
