Why dies Serebii still look like a 90's webpage? I remember back when I was first fucking learning HTML from Cave if Dragonflies as a teen and every site looked like Serebii.

At least it doesn't look like the mess that Pojo still is.

Is Pojo even still in existence? I haven't visited that site in over a decade.
>>
Serebii is just as shitty as Bulba. Get your shit together and start using the strategy guides like an authentic player.
>>
I'm deeply amused that their search function doesn't even seem to work
>>
I know, right? Their content is very good, but the design is basically unusable. Say what you want about Bulbapedia, I like being able to enter a Pokemon name, item, etc. into the search box and go straight to its page. It's kind of unbelievable that Serebii lacks that incredibly basic functionality.

I agree his site is really due for a modern overhaul but I suppose I can understand why he hasn't done so yet since he would need to move around every single bit of information for a new layout, and that could be pretty damn tedious.

Until an ad redirects you to a new page and malware takes your pc hostage

>>25845182
And that's why you use an ad blocking program ladies and gents!
>>
>>25845182

Can't say I've ever had that happen to me, though I do find their ads incredibly annoying.

Though, I do recall a year or so ago they had a malware issue, but my browser automatically blocked me from visiting it for the week or two of the issue, so more of an inconvenience than anything. Not to defend them, though... even that is far too much of a problem.
>>
He claims to be working on an overhaul but nothing public yet IIRC.

Does Joe still come to this shithole?
>>
>>25845216
One change I've noticed is that he's fixed up his Pokedex so you can go to a Pokemon's Gen page no matter what Gen you're in, you no longer have to go over to the side bar and search for said Pokemon in another Dex.

Against all odds, it's still standing. All in it's early 90's web glory.

Do you consider Serebii's design to be bad? IMO webpages were so much easier to navigate back in the 90s. I love using Serebii.

Their search function is Google's. Not like Serebii has control over it

He tweeted this a week or so ago. I remember he tweeted a teaser of it a few months back too.

He does seem to be doing a lot of simple quality of life updates in the interim

>>25845075
Fuck you faggot. I liked that late 90s webpage design. Better then most overdesigned web 2.0 shit.

Even 4chan is still based on that type of design.

Serebii's design is fucking pathetic. When you compare his bullshit Pokédex to that on say www.veekun.com it jsut blows Serebii out fo the water.
Veekun pages load faster, are smaller overall, dynamic, more logically laid out and contain more information, all through better design.

Who cares if he's a gender fluid SJW Furry when he can design a great webpage?

>>25845366
Man, pojo was where I went for DBZ and Pokemon info back in like 1999. What the hell.

Not in my experience they don't. Plus the tables are convoluted as fuck when you're just trying to get quick specific information
