'''Pokemopolis forum''' is a forum dedicated to Pokémon. Their slogan "Not dirty, just dodgy!" still stands for both the main site and the forum. It is a small forum with little users, but is still popular amongst guests and the current accounts.
'''Pokemopolis''', or previously, '''Pokémon, Pokémon''', is a fan site maintained by ''Dodgemaster Tim'' and ''Dodgemaster Lex'', and originally ''Dodgemaster Brandon'' as well. It is popular for being one of the few openly satirical Pokémon fansites that is able to maintain a wide degree of popularity, having reached its 400,000th hit.


== Topics ==
The site is dedicated to the proposition that "Pokémon is NOT a children's cartoon."  It is well known for its detailed and humorous {{pkmn|anime}} episode guides, contests, Anti-[[RocketShipping]] stance, dislike of [[Ritchie]] and [[Todd Snap]], and its promotion of {{p|Koffing}}.
=== Pokemopolis ===
 
The Pokemopolis section is the main section of the forums. Here, a user is able to see updates in the Welcome to Pokemopolis section, ask questions in Ask The Dodgemasters, and post up fanart and fanfics in the Fanworks thread.
Generally speaking, most of the humor is innuendo and parody that might not be suitable for very young children; the site is geared more towards teenage and adult fans. Their slogan is "Not Dirty, Just Dodgy!".
 
== History ==
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.
 
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.
 
Due to the graphic nature of the site, Pokemopolis was censored by Nintendo, Kids WB and "the Fundamentalist Wankers Society of America".
 
<small>'''<ab>Being dodgy has finally taken its toll. The voices of the 13 year old girls have been heard.
Nintendo, Kids WB and the Fundamentalist Wankers Society of America have placed on us an injunction to numb down the content of our website.
All images on our website showing the characters in provocative situations or rude poses, any naughty body parts, clothed or non-clothed, that are displayed close up, any filthy acts of frightful sordidness, beastless horidness or ghastly nastiness, all these images have to be censored to "protect the minds of the young".
 
Our articles and writing an stay as they are but in future all references to sexual acts of any kind must be replaced with the words "paja" and "penso".
 
All our images that come under this injunction have been edited so all dodgy content is obscured.
Below you will find our newly censored images. All future censored images will be posted here so you can stay corrupt free.
You will be forced to use your imagination to stay dodgy.</ab>'''</small>
 
== Site ==
 
The site contains many links, including fanworks, anti-RocketShipping claims, quizzes, contests, and even a forum.
 
=== Pokemopolis Main ===
The Main Page, Intro, Updates, Censor message, Awards, and Links to other sites are contained here.
 
=== Anime ===
Under this section, the Episode Guide, Movies, Characters, Movie Casting, Voices, and a page all about Owen Wilson are kept. The episode guide contains all the seasons up to Advanced Battle, which holds four of the episodes. The titles usually consist of dodgy material with the correct English title underneath. Each episode has a parody Japanese title, a dodgyness rating, an animation rating, 'Team Rocketness', the story, a dodgy synopsis, and a, usually funny, 'moral learnt' section.
 
=== Fanworks ===
The fanworks, including fanart, fanfics, and a top ten list, are all kept here in a neat package. Fanfics there have to meet the requirements of being dodgy, being rated no higher than PG-13, and keeping it of 'reasonable length'.


=== Pokémon ===
=== Pokémon ===
The Pokémon section allows users to talk about the anime, games, and everything else not from Generation IV in the Pokémon - The Dodgy Journeys section. For Diamond and Pearl, a user must go to Pokémon - Diamond and Pearl.
The Pokémon section contains a longer list of things from the Pokémon anime. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
 
<ab>Team Rocket
Anti-RocketShipping
Jailbait
Love
Japan
Koffing
Tracey vs. Brock
Toys of the Devil
Manga
International Editions</ab>
 
The Koffing page is dedicated the [[James]]' {{TP|James|Koffing}} and is very Anti-{{p|Weezing}}. The jailbait page hoards many reasons why all the girls of Pokémon are to be considered jailbait, especially {{an|May}}. The Japan page tells all the reasons why Dodgemasters Tim and Lex think Japan is awesome. Tracey vs. Brock is all about who is the better man of the show in their own opinions (of whom Brock wins); this also contains a [[Misty]] vs. May section (of whom May wins).
 
=== Interactive ===
The interactive section has Contests, Personality Tests, an advice column featuring Ash's Pikachu, Horoscopes, a French Lesson that contains funny and unusual phrases, and, lastly, polls.
 
=== Dodgemasters ===
This section contains Biographies on the owners, as well as a Photo Gallery. The third link, Armageddon, shows photos and a summary of the Dodgemasters' trip to the '''Armageddon Pop Culture Convention 2001'''.


=== Everything Else ===
=== Forums ===
The Everything Else thread is for Entertainment and Current News, Other Anime, and Rants and Ramblings.
{{main|Pokemopolis forum}}
The forums are a feature that pops-up in a new window. As of February 27th, they have 475 members.


=== Beyond Reality ===
==Staff==
Beyond Reality is for those users that wish to discuss 'conspiracies'. Whether it's about aliens or big-foot, it can be discussed in this topic.
There have been three staff members present at Pokemopolis.


== Staff ==
===Dodgemaster Brandon===
*'''Dodgemaster Tim'''
'''Dodgemaster Brandon''' was the original creator of the site back when it was still ''Pokémon, Pokémon''. Once the site was moved, however, he did not stay and run the site any longer. Currently, after a prolonged absence, he mostly browses the forums.
*'''Yam'''


== External Links ==
===Dodgemaster Tim===
*[http://pokemopolis.net/forum/YaBB.pl Main page]
'''Dodgemaster Tim''' was one of the two people who took over the site from Dodgemaster Brandon. After picking up the innuendo in the show, he and Dodgemaster Lex changed the format of the site into one that focuses the anime's dodgyness. Tim writes the episode guides, provides fanart, and keeps regular communication with the core group of fans who frequent the forums of the site.


===Dodgemaster Lex===
'''Dodgemaster Lex''' was the other person who took over the site from Dodgemaster Brandon. She works mostly on the site's contests and maintains much of the website's code.
