Happy January and Happy New Year!  
Welcome to 2024, Pokémon fans! I hope everyone is enjoying the [[Mochi Mayhem]] epilogue to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]!


With the beginning of the new year, the season of reflection and change is once again among us. Even though it’s been nearly 20 years since Bulbapedia’s beginnings in 2005, the core values and community orientated collaboration has remained constant. It can be said amongst editors and staff that they came for the info, but stayed for the camaraderie. It takes careful nurturing, and an often obscene amount of dedicated time to preserve a place like Bulbapedia and to serve as the head of this dynamic project.
For those of you who don't know me, I am '''Maverick Nate''', and I am the new Bulbapedia {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}}. Throughout my now over 16 year tenure here, I have led numerous initiatives and projects at Bulbagarden, most notably Project TCG for over a decade! But enough about me, let's talk Bulbapedia!


After careful thought and consideration, it is with a heavy heart that I am announcing that I will be stepping down from the role of Editor-in-Chief, effective this week. It has been nothing but an honor and privilege to have served as EIC of a website that is as impressive and amazing as Bulbapedia. When i joined back in 2010, I never would have envisioned myself to be still contributing from this position all these years later. A huge, big, ginormous thank you to all of the hard working and dedicated staff, former leaders, and users who supported me and made this job so incredibly rewarding.  
With Bulbapedia's 19th anniversary quickly approaching next month, join me in celebrating our [[Bulbapedia:About|52,000th article]]: '''[[Morichika]]''' from [[Pokémon Conquest]], created by none other than the all-around ''{{m|Trailblaze}}''r, {{u|minibug}}! I look forward to seeing what other ''{{m|Trick}}''s they have in store for {{bp|Project Sidegames}}. '''Go minibug!'''


Taking over in my place is none other than {{u|Maverick Nate}}. Nate has a level of time, commitment, and natural leadership ability that does not come around often. He is an excellent and experienced community leader who has been a pleasure to work with over the years and truly has what it takes to take Bulbapedia to even greater heights.  
I would also like to use this time to share two important updates from site leadership. We Bulbagarden staff are invested in the health and success of our encyclopedia and userbase. Heading into 2024, we will be emphasizing our [[Bulbapedia:Code of conduct|standards of conduct]] for editors. The {{bp|code of conduct}} details the base-line, respectful behavior we expect from ''all'' contributors to the website, so I encourage everyone, staff and users alike, to take a moment to read and reread these expectations so that we can build a Better Bulbapedia.


I won’t be going too far. For now, I will be remaining on staff as Deputy Editor in Chief, hopefully a role let me both support Bulbapedia and allow me to enjoy a bit more life-balance.  
For my second announcement, after much consideration, I am excited to announce that in the near future, we will be modernizing our maximum file upload limit from '''2MB to 8MB''' and our general maximum resolution to '''1920x1920'''. If you need to upload a file that exceeds either of these limits, please partner with a {{bp|Staff}} member. With that said, our image library continues to grow exponentially, so staff will be monitoring how this increase affects the sustainability of the Bulbagarden Archives and our image resources going forward. Anticipate more updates on that front coming soon!
Once again, congratulations Maverick Nate and Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2024, Pokémon fans! I hope everyone is enjoying the Mochi Mayhem epilogue to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!

For those of you who don't know me, I am Maverick Nate, and I am the new Bulbapedia Editor-in-Chief. Throughout my now over 16 year tenure here, I have led numerous initiatives and projects at Bulbagarden, most notably Project TCG for over a decade! But enough about me, let's talk Bulbapedia!

With Bulbapedia's 19th anniversary quickly approaching next month, join me in celebrating our 52,000th article: Morichika from Pokémon Conquest, created by none other than the all-around Trailblazer, minibug! I look forward to seeing what other Tricks they have in store for Project Sidegames. Go minibug!

I would also like to use this time to share two important updates from site leadership. We Bulbagarden staff are invested in the health and success of our encyclopedia and userbase. Heading into 2024, we will be emphasizing our standards of conduct for editors. The code of conduct details the base-line, respectful behavior we expect from all contributors to the website, so I encourage everyone, staff and users alike, to take a moment to read and reread these expectations so that we can build a Better Bulbapedia.

For my second announcement, after much consideration, I am excited to announce that in the near future, we will be modernizing our maximum file upload limit from 2MB to 8MB and our general maximum resolution to 1920x1920. If you need to upload a file that exceeds either of these limits, please partner with a Staff member. With that said, our image library continues to grow exponentially, so staff will be monitoring how this increase affects the sustainability of the Bulbagarden Archives and our image resources going forward. Anticipate more updates on that front coming soon!

Join us as we discover what is on the Horizon for Bulbapedia in the upcoming year!

Maverick Nate
Editor-in-Chief, Bulbapedia
