Serebii.net turns 20 today

[WrenchNinja]

Been using the site since the Ruby and Sapphire days. It definitely is the go to Pokémon website.

Congrats Joe.

My bad. I don't know why I wrote dot com. Total brain fart.

 

[--R]

Serebii Thanks for your hard work with the site!

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Impressive legacy, Joe, congrats on maintaining such a seminal site for such a long time.

 

[ZeroX]

Still my favorite Pokemon website of choice after all this years

 

[Platy]

Congrats to the very best Pokémon site, like no other site ever was

 

[Starlatine]

Weird, isnt pokemon a series for kids? Should have dropped it by now, 20 years is too old to be playing

Pretty big fucking obvious slash s/ Congratulation on the site, always a good resource while planning challenge runs

 

[BDS]

One of the first websites on the internet that I used regularly as a kid (not to make Serebii feel old or anything lol)

Still use it regularly today

Thank you for the countless hours of help and resources your site has provided to me

 

[Corrie1960]

I don't know how I found the website but I'm glad I did I've been a visitor to Serebii for the last few years for

video game news
Anime news
Movie news and so on and on

thank you Joe and here's to another 20 years

 

[Dwebble]

Still a great resource, and a huge achievement to keep it going for so long- congrats Serebii!

 

[Shining Star]

I had no idea it was that old, or Pokemon for that matter.

 

[Kewlmyc]

I had no idea it was that old. Congrats!

 

[Greywaren]

Serebii has been my go-to place for Pokémon news for years, whether it's on the site or on Twitter. Joe does an amazing, selfless job and we should appreciate it a lot more.

 

[ned_ballad]

Started reading his site pretty regularly during the build up to Gen 4

When I was in 8th grade

And now I'm 29

 

[grand]

For a second there I thought you were saying Serebii himself turned 20 and was shell-shocked at how young he must've been when the site started

The site being 20 makes a lot more sense lol

 

[jediyoshi]

I do unironically love how early 2000s the site layout has stayed

 

[Rand a. Thor]

Congrats man, 20 years is some real dedication. Quite suprised though that we haven't gotten a Kanto Pokemon variant or Gigantamax to celebrate this anniversary yet. Probably all those heatwaves in Japan are making them sluggish.

 

[Aleh]

Started using the site daily during the gen 4 pre release period and it was magical.

 

[Deleted member 17658]

nuts... I remember making fun of my friend for going on this site in elementary school.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Damn, been using Serebii since I was a kid. Didn't realize it's that old. Congrats, Joe.

 

[TimeFire]

Congratulations, Serebii !! The best fansite to ever be created. It has left an impression on the fanbase that will never go away. Here's to 20 more years!

 

[MattB]

I started going when gen 4 was coming out. Great stuff! Congratulations Joe!

 

[MegaXZero]

Congrats Joe.

 

[Rafavert]

Been using the website since gen 3. Probably the only website I still visit since then. Rest either died or I lost interest in for one reason or another.


Congratulations, Serebii! Here's to 20 more!

 

[erekiddo]

If you had a guestbook, I'd sign it.

 

[NekoNeko]

pretty cool that he made the website look like it's 20 year old for the anniversary!

 

[Charlie0108]

Remember discovering the side during Gen IV pre-release when I was 9 years old. I'm now 23 and still visit regularly, truly an excellent website. Congratulations, Serebii!

 

[Lukar]

The site's helped me out a bunch, since I was a kid in middle school and all the way to today. Thanks for your hard work Joe :D

pretty cool that he made the website look like it's 20 year old for the anniversary!

Ouch.

 

[LAM09]

I haven't visited the site in some time, but I was regular visitor during the GBA/DS days.

Congrats on 20 years, Serebii

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Yeah I mean the website still looks like it was built 20 years ago.
Seriously put some money into a modern website for Christ sake. It's unbearable. Even the new mobile adaptation (ten years late) is shit.

 

[test_account]

Congrats with the 20 year anniversary :)

 

[TruSpindash]

Wow thats crazy, It was one of the first websites I ever regularly visited and the first forum I ever singed up for.

 

[Arithmetician]

Congratulations Joe, a monumental achievement. It was the first website I regularly visited when I was 10 to get info on Ruby and Sapphire

 

[Deleted member 2791]

Still my only go to (with Bulbapedia for some precise things) website for Pokémon stuff. It's so complete to a ridiculous degree.

 

[Diddy Kong]

It was always my go-to site as a kid. Impressive run for sure.

 

[banter]

Damn, this makes me feel old. I've been using the site for ages but had no idea it had already been 20 years! And as many have said already, definitely the best pokemon resource out there. Serebii you've done an amazing job, congrats!

 

[LuWis]

I remember back in 2006, I didn't have a computer but when ever I would go to my friend's house afterschool I would go straight to serebii.net and look at the new Pokemon.. good times indeed.

I will just quote myself. Congrats Serebii.net, without it, I probably wouldn't be a Pokemon fan like I am today.

 

[Lord Azrael]

The info on the website is amazing but the layout is so bad

 

[ned_ballad]

I'm curious, do Japanese players have their own Serebii-esque resource?

...or do they just use Serebii?

 

[Pokémon]

Congrats on the achievement.

Yikes.

 

[Weebos]

It's pretty wild that it's been going this long. I lived on the site as a child, so it's still kind of wild to see Joe post here.

 

[Dwebble]

My earliest Serebii memory is definitely the Munchlax reveal.

I hadn't been paying attention beforehand, and it had barely even struck me that such a thing could be possible.

 

[Denryu]

Best pokémon fansite ever. Thank you for all your work Serebii!

 

[Dead King]

Good site, used to use it everyday in the GBA era, but the guy has no charisma and isn't nice to read at all, always being smug in his posts

 

[Aleh]

Some people really have absolutely no concept of respect huh

 

[Jonneh]

Wholesome

 

[Lumination]

Serebii.net is from a bygone era where every popular game/anime series had its own website for fans to congregate to. I don't visit too often now, but kudos for keeping the memories alive for so long!
