Editor Lewtwo has worked tirelessly to provide a comprehensive history for a little company called Game Freak. Be sure to take a look and discover more about what lies beyond the world of Pokémon!

Coming to Terms with the Past
Legendary and Mythical Pokémon have existed since the dawn of time (February 27, 1996), but mankind has not always been consistent with the terms for these rare and elusive Pokémon. Staff member Daniel Carrero has provided us with a detailed history of how the terminology for Legendary and Mythical Pokémon has evolved overtime, so give it a read!

Bulbapedia is known for writing deep technical pages about the omnipresent game mechanics that many people never think about. This April, staff member SnorlaxMonster added another entry to our expanding library of such pages. You've probably never wondered about text entry in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, but now you can! Jump down the Raboot hole with us and check out Text entry (Generation II).

Something Even Rarer than Shiny
Speaking of technical pages, our Pokérus page received a fresh upgrade thanks to the work of editors Atrius97 and SNBeast! Check out the new infection and spread section to brush up on the recent discoveries surrounding this medical anomaly.
