-PsyPoke is a major Pokémon website that was originally owned, from 1999 to 2000, by Canadian webmaster Abra K. on the domain psypoke.com. After he had decided to leave the site in late 2000, Abra K. transferred ownership to four people: darkmind, TheKirbster, Nova, and DeadeyeDave. These four webmasters called themselves "The PsyPoke Elite Four." In 2001, psypoke.com completely vanished from the internet when Abra K. allowed the site's domain to expire. PsyPoke continued on as a forum community until fall 2002, when it returned under the ownership of the second, and current, PsyPoke Elite Four: TonberryKing, Amphy, darkmind, and Frost. The site is currently powered by the GameSpy Network and can be found at http://www.psypokes.com. The site is mainly notable for its extensive in-game-related Pokédex. This is a definite contrast to the advertisement-filled site that once belonged to Abra K.
+PsyPoke is a major Pokémon website that was originally owned, from 1999 to 2000, by Canadian webmaster Abra K. on the domain psypoke.com. Although the site's name lacks an accent mark over the "e," it is appropriate to refer to the site as either "Sai-poke" OR "Sai-po-kay." A notable little-known fact is that Serebii (of SPP) was briefly an updater for the original incarnation of the site. Psypoke's original incarnation was not very helpful as Pokemon fan sites went - it lacked a Pokedex and detailed information on the video games. It was also infamous for its obscene amount of advertisements.
