PKMN.NET, formerly PUK, is a Pokémon fan site. It is a standard website, offering content based around the Nintendo games, anime, and TCG. The website was founded by Psythor. The faces of the site consist of the actual site, the forums and an IRC chatroom.

The site also prides itself on being, outside of Bulbapedia, the most "user interactive" of all Pokémon sites. Once registered, users are free to post their comments on any news page or content page, and features such as Ask Sentret and The Name Rater can be used.

Reality Shows

PKMN.NET also prides itself on hosting a number of "Pokémon reality shows" which although have been dubbed "pointless" by rival sites, have a lot of fans on the forums. The first, Pokémon Big Brother, took place before the site became as well known as it is now, thus not many existing members remember it, and no trace of it can be found on the site at present. The other show, PokéMole, taking the form of the famous TV show "The Mole", has found much more success, having had six successful seasons.

Current administrators

  • Joeno, real name Jeroen te Strake, is a walkthrough author and operates a parallel Dutch-language version of PKMN.NET. As the one who writes the forum rules, he is often subject to hatred and criticism by those found to have chronically broken the rules, but is also honored by many other forum members due in part to a jokey rule number 20 in the forum rules: 'Joeno is the best admin; he rules, is cool and smart, and superior to all the other admins even when James claims otherwise'.
  • Typhlosion, real name Michael Harper, is responsible for most in-depth walkthroughs on the site. He also is the creator of the PokéMole series.
  • Mulholland real name Peter Searle, real life boyfriend of Joeno. Despite early comments about nepotism related to his promotion has quickly been able to gain the respect from the majority of board members.
  • Ledyba real name Terry Evans, known on the forums as the most popular of the admins.
  • Paradigm real name Rob Gore, and the only admin who is known to regularly change his username.

  • Pokédude, real name Matthew Ward. He is responsible for a large amount of forum and site coding and is the first to announce SMF updates.
