Among other things, the Serebii.net domain has been redirected to numerous locations, including rival Pokémon Web sites, blogs of prominent figures in the online Pokémon fandom and hardcore pornography. At the time of writing, the domain currently links to an adult video hosted on YouTube. While it appears that the crisis is largely over, with Merrick having regained control of most of his site, the issue of the domain name will likely not be solved for some time. Users can, however, access Serebii.net still through the direct IP link listed above.
