PokémonDB was founded in 2008 and contains mostly the same information as bulbapedia and serebii. I mostly use this website when looking up information due to my more familiarity with its layout compared to alternative sites.

One of the oldest Pokémon communites on the internet, founded in 2000, while not as important today compared to Bulbapedia, Serebii, and PokémonDB it is still an important part of the history of collecting Pokémon information on the internet.

Founded in 1999, it is the oldest fan run Pokémon site. Still used and updated this site is mosly now used to announce current and past events in games, the anime, and card game. Information found on this site pertaining to collecting information on pokemon is similar to bulbapedia and pokemondb but collected in a way that is much easier to search for people who remember the old internet.
