+'''Smogon''' is a website whose content encompass competitive [[Pokémon]] battling. It offers guides on battling strategies for people of different Pokémon knowledge backgrounds. The website was founded by 'chaos' (one of the developers of [[NetBattle]]) and is a considerably well-known website, visited by competitive Pokémon battling enthusiasts.
+The term 'competitive battling' within Pokémon refers to battling against other human players using either Wifi Battling via the Nintendo DS, the downloadable program NetBattle [http://www.netbattle.net] or any of a number of battle simulating bots, usually found on [[wp:IRC|IRC]]. Both of these are online simulations of Pokémon games, where one may build a team of Pokémon with relative ease. Experienced players, 24-hour servers, diverse communities and an opportunity to test out strategies are just a few advantages of online battling, but perhaps the most vital advantage is battling against sentient players rather than [[wp:artificial intelligence|AI]] - which requires a significant amount more intelligence and strategy to succeed.
+Smogon has three primary faces through which it operates: the Smogon website and forums, #smogon on dejatoons.net, and the Smogon NetBattle server.
+Residents of the Smogon forums are referred to as "Smogoneers" or "Smogonites". The Smogon motto is "Pokémon on the Internet: Let's make it happen" and their mascot is the Pokémon {{p|Koffing}}, the name Smogon itself being the German moniker for this Pokémon.
