| '''Encyclopaediae Pokémonis''', [[wp:Latin|Latin]] for ''Encyclopedias of Pokémon'', is a multilingual, [[wp:Open content|open-content]] Pokémon encyclopedia project that includes, among others, [[Bulbapedia]].

|
| ==History==
| |
| The first person to conceive the idea of a Pokémon wiki was [[Meowth346]] of [[Pokémon Forever]]. Eventually, Bulbapedia itself was created in December 2004, and opened to the public the following February. In April 2005, {{u|nYoo}} suggested a [[wp:German language|German-language]] version, however, nothing came of this. Later in the year, in August, the idea that would eventually spawn [[PokéWiki]] came to be.
| |
|
| |
| Due to their both being open-content wiki Pokémon encyclopedias, PokéWiki and Bulbapedia soon allied to form Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, hoping that soon more would join the group. Eventually, [[Pokémon Wiki]] answered the call in June 2006, having been created in April of that year.
| |
|
| |
| On April 6, 2007, the [[wp:Polish language|Polish-language]] [[Wikinezka]] joined the group. The [[wp:French language|French-language]] [[Poképédia]] joined in September 2007, and the [[wp:Portuguese language|Portuguese-language]] [[LANDpedia]] joined in December, 2007.

|
| |
| Currently, the six wikis interlink to each other, and navigation between articles on the same subject is made possible by links in the sidebar.

| ==Logo==
| |
| The logo of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis is a [[Poké Ball]] image superimposed over a polar [[wp:azimuthal equidistant projection|azimuthal equidistant projection]] of the planet Earth, reminiscent of the [[wp:Flag of the United Nations|Flag of the United Nations]]. The color of the Poké Ball, as well as the color of the underlying Earth, differs among the members of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis: Bulbapedia's is green, PokéWiki's is teal, Pokémon Wiki's is blue, Wikinezka's is red, Poképédia's is yellow, and LANDpedia's is orange.
