-Bulbagarden is proud to announce the opening of its new [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=375 Battle Center]!  The Battle Center is a place to solicit and accept wireless battles for the [[Generation IV]] games that are Wi-Fi compatible.  Both competitive and casual battlers are welcome, so you'll always fit in.  Better yet, you can use the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=370 Trade Center] to find the Pokémon you need to achieve victory, and then use your new acquisitions to win in the Battle Center!
+As some of you may have seen recently, there is a [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=46076 iPhone PokéDex application] that was recently released, which uses Bulbapedia to supply its content. Due to licensing issues and other concerns, this is a no-no on the app creator's part; Bulbapedia is a non-commercial entity, while said app is decidedly commercial.
-As a component of this, you can access our new IRC battling chat via your own IRC client (we're on irc.systemnet.info) or through our [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/javachat.php forums JavaChat.] Just type in /join #bulbabattle - it's very easy, and will provide another way for you to find battlers.
+As the app's creators have not addressed these concerns despite Bulbagarden's efforts, Bulbapedia has begun to address these concerns for them. For those of you who view the site regularly, this has no effect on you; for those who edit regularly, you may notice that all of the Pokémon species articles have been temporarily protected from edits while we change variables. Don't worry; the wiki is not being vandalized, and all the changes being made are purely non-aesthetic ones.
-As we mentioned during the unveiling of the Trade Center a month and a half ago, the Forums support both Pokémon and non-Pokémon discussion across a wide variety of topics.  If you're interested in more in-depth discussion than Bulbapedia allows, we recommend that you [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/register.php register here] and enjoy more of the services that Bulbagarden has to offer!
+Bulbagarden and Bulbapedia take content copyrights very seriously; rest assured that we will never allow others to make profit from ''your'' hard work and contributions here.
-Bulbagarden is always adding exciting new features and offering a better, more engaging experience for Pokémon fans.  As always, we thank thank you, the community, for your continued support as we continue to grow.  We really couldn't do it without you.
