Serebii.net, one of the leading sites in the fandom, has, according to a [http://serebiiforums.com/showpost.php?p=3382303&postcount=1 statement] by site owner Joe "Serebii" Merrick on the Serebiiforums (hosted on a seperate server and domain to the main site), were taken down when the server the site was hosted on "for lack of a better term, exploded".

While we are still awaiting a statement from site owner JKaizer, which is expected to be posted on his site jkaizer.net within the next few hours, the site data is apparently quite safe, and the site is expected to be restored within a few days time, though with a different name and domain. | ||
