Happy January!
Happy November,


It’s hard to believe that the first month of 2022 is already almost over! As January comes to a close and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} officially released worldwide, here are a few updates you should know about.
It’s an exciting time to be a Pokemon fan - not only is {{Ash}} finally the World Champion after more than two decades, but {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} are finally here!


As many know, Bulbapedia experimented by remaining open during the Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl release in order to test site stability and to maximize user participation. Due to the success observed last time, Bulbapedia will once again be remaining open to editing for Pokémon Legends: Arceus as well. Because this game is not a remake and may attract more traffic, staff will be monitoring site performance over the next several days and will determine if we need to reevaluate.
The wiki staff team have been hard at work getting ready for the swathe of new information and content that’s about to hit us, and as ever we rely on the contributions of editors to ensure Bulbapedia is useful to fans as they venture through [[Paldea]]. Before the arrival of the new generation, here are a few updates that you should know about.  


As a general reminder during this exciting time, please do not add information taken from other fansites - we don't allow plagiarism. This includes text, images, and data. Please reach out to a member of Staff if you are looking for ideas of specific tasks or projects we are looking for help with.
Firstly, we are happy again to be able to report that the wiki will once again remain open for editing during the release period. We hope you can help! If you’re planning on uploading information , we have a few key asks and reminders for you to keep in mind:


In other news, since we’re celebrating a new year and a new game, we thought there’d be no better time to bring on some new staff! Bulbapedia will be participating in Bulbagarden's Official 2022 Staff Drive. This time around, we’re looking for some passionate and savvy folks to join the team as {{bp|Junior Administrators}}. We’ll be accepting applications until mid-February! If you have any questions or concerns about the application or selection process, please send a direct message to {{u|Pokemaster97}} or {{u|evkl}} on the Bulbagarden Forums or the Bulbagarden Discord server.
* Please ensure that the information you upload is from reputable original sources and not simply lifted from other fansites
* Please respect the directions of the Staff team; some of our rules and processes might not be obvious at first glance, but the team is there to help you perfect your contributions
* Please follow the code of conduct and the manual of style at all times!
* Please report any performance issues or bad ad activity to staff


Until next time. Happy Editing!
In other news, in an effort to do some fall cleaning in preparation for Scarlet & Violet’s release, the staff will be tackling our backlog of pages needing attention. If you have any candidates you had comments or thoughts about, please do not hesitate to share on the relevant talk page or with a member of staff so we can ensure your input is kept in mind.
 
Finally, it is with sadness that I announce that long-time staff member {{u|Adil}} has decided he would step-down from his role as Head of Anime. Adil has been a staff member for over 11 years and we are happy to hear he’s agreed to sticking around in a lesser capacity. Taking his place is another long time and hard working staff member doing great work. Please help me congratulate {{u|Force Fire}}, who has agreed to step in as the new Head of Anime. Congratulations!
 
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via our Discord or forums. Good treasure hunting, Trainers!
