The '''Bulbagarden forums''' are the official discussion forums for [[Bulbagarden]], which aim to provide a discussion environment covering the various aspects of the [[Pokémon]] fandom, such as the {{pkmn|animated series}}, as well as a wide variety of other topics, including non-Pokémon video games, television shows and the daily life of Pokémon fans. They operate on the Xenforo software, and have been, excluding server outages and other similar incidents, in operation since the re-launch of Bulbagarden by {{u|Archaic}} on January 1, 2003, being the first and oldest of [[Bulbagarden]] projects. The forums celebrated their tenth anniversary in 2013.

The forum is staffed by a crew of over seventy moderators, super-moderators and administrators, headed by the '''Head Administrator''', a role held by Enzap. Their role is both to ensure that discussion remain civil and interesting, and to prevent people from using the forums to unacceptable ends (such as advertising), while finding new ways to encourage and facilitate discussion. 

The forums are often called '''BMGf''', which is an abbreviation of the original full name, '''Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden forums'''. It is the most common remaining reference to the full name of Bulbagarden.
