Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of ''[[Bulbagarden]]'', the Pokémon website which runs Bulbapedia, and ''{{wp|encyclopedia}}''. It is affectionately known as ''the 'pedia'' among its contributors. Both Bulbapedia and Bulbagarden get their names from {{p|Bulbasaur}}, notable as the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] order. | Its name is a {{wp|portmanteau}} of ''[[Bulbagarden]]'', the Pokémon website which runs Bulbapedia, and ''{{wp|encyclopedia}}''.

For a number of reasons, such as a reputation, waiting to add facts until they are confirmed by official sources, and a wide array of information, Bulbapedia can generally be accepted as the most in-depth site within the Pokémon fandom. Images for the website are stored at the [[Bulbagarden Archives]], which also supplies artwork, photographs and screenshots for [[Bulbanews]], an affiliate news site also run by Bulbagarden. | For a number of reasons, such as a reputation, waiting to add facts until they are confirmed by official sources, and a wide array of information, Bulbapedia can generally be accepted as the most in-depth site within the Pokémon fandom.
