-The games are out, and a flood of information is upon us! Due to the wealth of details, the site has been locked  from editing by all non-staff members and at this point will stay locked so we can get a lot of major updates handled without the majority of people getting in the way (ie: edit conflicts), so we are going to work on getting all the Pokémon pages, locations, moves, abilities, movesets, items, and other major additions to gameplay. We know it sounds like it will take a long time, and well, it might, but we are hoping to be done with the lockdown in under a week.
+Over the past few weeks, the site has been slowly filling up with information related to the new Pokémon games, {{v2|Black and White|s}}. Bulbapedia now has articles about each of the {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|156 new Pokémon}}, all the new moves and abilities, and the recent [[Best Wishes series|new anime series]]. But we're still not done! As you continue to update the site with information, remember that you shouldn't be taking information from other fan sites. This is partly so our translations stay consistent, but also because we need to make sure that the information we are putting up is 100% correct. If you have Black or White, we'd love your help.
-We don't like locking our users out of a community driven site, but it's so we can get everyone as much info as fast as we can while maintaining our usual quality standards. We don't want to be rushed here and it will save us the hassle of an inevitably short sighted new user who will ignore the rules and go posting information they got off of GameFAQs forums or another unofficial source. So check back often as new info is added to the site ''every '''second'''!''
+A big thanks goes out to everyone who's helped so far, especially to the fifteen temporary junior administrators who gave us a hand while the site was locked down. Some of them have been kept on as permanent staff (more fool them!).
+A reminder also that {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} goes on sale today in Europe and the United Kingdom. If you live in those areas, don't forget to get your games and take part in the latest in the popular ''Pokémon Ranger'' series.
