About PocketMonsters.net

PocketMonsters.net is a fansite dedicated to all things Pokémon (ポケモン) and Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター). We are the premiere site for news and information about all aspects of the franchise from around the world. We cover the Anime, the Trading Card Game, the Games, Pokémon Smash! (ポケモンスマッシュ！), have a large imageboard and much more. The site was founded over 10 years ago and has evolved over that time into the site you are currently visiting. Initially we never expected the site to get as large as it currently is with tens of thousands of pages in a massive database that grows daily. As the many different aspects of the Pokémon franchise continues to expand, PocketMonsters.net also continues to expand.

As a fansite, PocketMonsters.net has always tried to be a free site and ad free as we believe that the spirit of a 'fansite' is hampered when a hobby or an interest comes in conflict with business initiatives and generating revenue by exploiting a copyrighted intellectual property. Though our site may not be as well known as other Pokémon fansites on the Internet, we have a core group of users that visit the site on a regular basis and we strive to keep our viewers informed with the latest information about Pokémon.

What's Different About PocketMonsters.net?

Many of the visitors and users of the site are older fans of the series. We try to cater to those fans that may have started being a fan 15 or more years ago when the franchise first started and have continued following it since then. The series doesn't just appeal to younger fans but all age groups.

We also try to cover areas of the franchise that the official sites or fansites don't cover at all. We pride ourselves in having unique and accurate information and to be a great reference to fans.
