Pokemopolis was originally a generic Pokémon fansite run by Dodgemaster Brandon. Unfortunately, it was not successful, and when Dodgemaster Tim and Dodgemaster Lex, who had been introduced to Pokémon by Brandon, began to pick up on the alleged innuendo present in the show, they decided to change the format of the site to one that explored the dodgyness of the show, and Pokemopolis was born.  
Pokemopolis was originally a generic Pokémon fansite run by Dodgemaster Brandon. Pageviews remained low when it was a generic site and Dodgemaster Brandon turned the site over to Dodgemaster Tim and Dodgemaster Lex, two friends who were introduced to Pokémon by Brandon.  They began to pick up on alleged innuendo present in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], they decided to change the format of the site to one that explored the "dodgyness" and other camp elements of the show.  As a result the modern incarnation of Pokemopolis was born.  


Over the years, it gained a lot of popularity. In mid to late 2003, the amount of people in the forums was beginning to rival that of much more well-known Pokémon websites. The amount of people visiting the forums has lowered a lot, partly due to the removal of the chatroom in late 2003, but it still remains a fairly popular site.
Over time pageviews and popularity increased. In mid- to late- 2003, the number of active forum users rivaled those of much more well-known Pokémon websites.<sup>[citation needed]</sup> The number of people visiting the forums has since decreased but it still remains an active fan site.
