Happy January and Happy New Year! 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. 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. Taking over in my place is none other than 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 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. Once again, congratulations Maverick Nate and Happy New Year!
