'''[[Pokémon_Black_and_White_Versions|BLACK AND WHITE ARE HERE!!]]''' As everyone clamors to grab a copy, we want to be here to bring you all the information we can. That being said, we also want your experience with the site to be as smooth as possible, so we have disabled editing to all non-staff users. While annoying to many (sorry), it should help the site run more efficiently. During this lock, our {{bp|Staff}} will still continue to update information though, so don't worry, the site will continue to update even through the lockdown.

Speaking of staff, as Black and White bring us into a new era, we aim to bring you the best service we can, but the only way we can do that is with a staff of dedicated individuals to run the show. On that note, it's time to give them an overhaul. A number of your favorite staff members have been promoted, including three very special promotions.

Congratulations to {{u|CoolPikachu!}} and {{u|Jello}} whom are now a members of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}! CoolPikachu! has been moving his way up the ranks for the past couple years and has arrived on the board thanks to his hard work and dedication. However, there's no discrediting Jello as she has likewise worked extra hard, on not just one site, but two. Jello took over the [[Bulbagarden Archives]] earlier this year and has been directing it with great focus.

That leaves us with the third promotion. Upon taking the Editor-in-Chief position, I am to choose my deputy, and I have chosen our resident dark lord, {{u|The dark lord trombonator}}. Trom has done an amazing amount of work over his time here at Bulbapedia running our contests, {{bp|Golden Bulbasaur Award}}s, and a number of other projects as well. {{u|Kogoro}}, the former deputy Editor-in-Chief will move into a new role as the site's Technical Director.  

To close, again, sorry about the lockdown, but it's a precaution to help you folks use our site better. For any suggestions, comments, issues, or whatnot, you can visit the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia section] of the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden forums] OR our all new '''Bulbapedia IRC''' located at '''#bulbapedia''' (imagine that). Thanks to all of our users for your continued effort and have fun with Black and White!
