Bulbapedia changes itself to Rocketpedia.

It seems that in order to celebrate the US release of Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver Bulbapedia have changed all references to Bulbapedia to 'Rocketpedia' or 'Rocketnews' etc.

On Bulbanews Rocketnews Bulbapedia have even added an article named 'EMERGENCY RADIO ANNOUNCEMENT' which bases itself on the Team Rocket invasion of the Radio Tower.

They've started using banner ads so I no longer consider them a reliable Pokemon information source.

How do banner ads detract from its reliability, again? There was a vote among contributors, so it's not like these ads were forced on anyone against their will.

People at school say that I shouldn't rely on sites if they have ads. Then again they also said I shouldn't be using wikis for research. (not that there's much that would be interesting about pokemon for a school paper.

Apparantly MissingNo. has been used for sociological research for studying how players may try to canonise oddities in games, or spread their own findings. If that is true, I still can't imagine writing the words Missingno. on an exam paper, I'd probably prefer to write about the Minus World seeing as there are still a lot of people who call all Pokémon glitches "Missingno."
