-[[Pokémon X and Y]] have now been available worldwide for a few weeks now, and because of that updates to the articles have been slow to say the least. In the past, with the games releasing in Japan before releasing anywhere else, it was much easier to compile information so by the time the games were released in English, all the information was already up on the site. We'd like to ask all of our readers to please be patient with us while we work to update the site. To our editors, please make sure all information you add is from an official source, and make sure to maintain a positive attitude. There is a lot going on, and not starting conflicts gives staff more time to update the information they find and less time having to keep the peace. If you update a page, please make sure the information you add goes into its appropriate section. We would like to advise users to focus on the main articles and not trivia sections at this time. While trivia can be fun and interesting, most of our articles are severely lacking in core information, so that should come first.
+Five and a half years ago, I joined Bulbapedia. I didn't know wikicode, and I didn't have any new info to contribute. I kept myself busy watching better users in the recent changes, and making minor corrections. As I watched other users editing, I picked up some basic wikicode and got an understanding of the policies and rules. A year later, I started dabbling in templates, and never looked back. And I've enjoyed it all. But I no longer have the time to lead Bulbapedia, and it's time for me to step down as Editor-in-Chief.
-The start of a new Generation not only means the start of two new games, but also the start of new chapters in the anime, TCG, and manga series'. The {{series|XY|XY series of the Pokémon anime}} follows the adventures of [[Ash Ketchum]] as he travels across [[Kalos]] with {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}}. The [[Trading Card Game]] has started releasing cards featuring Pokémon from the Kalos region as well as receiving a new [[Energy]] for the {{type|Fairy}}. A new chapter in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] series featuring two new protagonists, {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}, is currently in the works. We'll need help keeping the new X and Y episodes up to date, and {{u|Maverick Nate}} is working hard to keep our TCG sections up to date with cards featuring the new Pokémon introduced in the Kalos region. Make sure to check {{n|front page|Bulbanews}} for any news regarding X and Y across the franchise!
+Thanks to Archaic and the vice-webmasters, for creating the site and keeping the technical aspects running. To TTEchidna, for leading the site while I was learning the ropes, and inspiring me to create templates. To MAGNEDETH, for keeping the site going during some rough times, and for trusting me with the reins to the site. To Kogoro, my deputy, for helping me with the work and letting me bounce ideas. To the Editorial Board, for keeping the sections of the site progressing, and to all staff, for showing leadership and dedicating time and effort to improving the site. But most of all, thanks to every user, for making Bulbapedia, and this community, what it is. Without all of you, Bulbapedia could not be what it is today.
+Taking my place will be {{u|Kogoro}}. She has a lot of experience as an Editorial Board member, and has shown initiative for improving user experience. I hope you all welcome her to the role, and I look forward to seeing Bulbapedia develop under her leadership.

+Former Editor-in-Chief.
