Greetings Everyone,

A few days ago, the popular Pokemon Sprite site PokeStadium closed the doors to its message board. While Johan, the site owner, will continue to support the PokeStadium site, there will no longer be a forum for the site.

As such, the members of the community are in transition, looking to figure out where they should settle roots and call home.

I’ve been in communication with some of the leadership of the PokeStadium community and one such idea we discussed was a potential merger. A joining of the two groups of Pokemon fans into a single family of friends.

Such an endeavor can bring the best of both worlds together, allowing us to share old and new traditions, events, and ideas together. And as always, we already are united by a common love for Pokemon.

This is, of course, not set in stone. I think a lot of discussion needs to take place, both between the leadership of our communities, and with the members within the communities themselves. Many details will need to be worked out if we want to move forward with this.

Regardless what happens, though, I think that this is a chance for us to make new friends. And that is always worthwhile.
