'''Psypoke''' (also sometimes written as '''PsyPoke''') is a Pokémon website that was originally owned, from 1999 to 2000, by Canadian webmaster Abra K. on the domain psypoke.com. Psypoke's original incarnation was not very helpful as Pokémon fan sites went - it lacked a Pokédex and detailed information on the video games. It was also infamous for the amount of advertising on it. However, the site had popular activities such as the Psypoke Gym Challenge and its forums were the most popular Pokémon-related message board on the forum Coolboard.com during late 1999 and 2000. | '''Psypoke''' (also sometimes written as '''PsyPoke''') is a Pokémon website that was originally owned, from 1999 to 2000, by Canadian webmaster Abra K. on the domain psypoke.com. | ||

Psypoke also held weekly trivia contests in its chat room, which was originally hosted on MediaDriven.net. Eventually, non-Pokémon fans frequented the chat more than actual fans of the franchise, and the members of the Psypoke community moved the chat to axpi.net, with the site expanding to hold trivia contests every Thursday and Saturday throughout late 2000 and much of 2001. It was also around this time that Psypoke briefly hosted the young [[Serebii.net]], with {{OBP|Serebii|person}} becoming a news updater on Psypoke.com until he acquired his own web space. | Psypoke also held weekly trivia contests in its chat room, which was originally hosted on MediaDriven.net.
