Bulbanews is a primary- and secondary-source Pokémon news organization run by Bulbagarden as a means of publishing news quickly and effectively. Based on the concept of a wiki, any of its registered users may submit a news article, put in the "draft" namespace which will be subject to approval by administrators before publication in the main namespace. The site's editor-in-chief is RexRacer, who oversees the Bulbanews Board of Editors. These seven sub-editors who each run a section of the site. The site also has numerous regular columns, such as "On the Origin of Species", which details the origins of Pokémon.

Like Bulbagarden's collaborative encyclopedia, Bulbapedia, Bulbanews is a combination of the name Bulbagarden, its mascot, Bulbasaur, and the word "news," illustrating its role. It utilizes images from the Bulbagarden Archives, just as Bulbapedia does.

History

Bulbanews was launched in April 2005 as a comprehensive news service, about 2 months after Bulbapedia was opened to the public, but did not get the same attention the encyclopedia did.

The site was subsequently relaunched as your community Pokémon newspaper on February 27, 2006, the tenth anniversary of the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green. In addition to reporting news regarding the Pokémon canon, the new incarnation also publishes columns and editorials, as well as news from the Pokémon community.
