What it does

Ongoing: +1 Power to this card for each card you have here, up to +3.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2008

A fan-written wiki encyclopedia of everything Pokémon, run by the fan community Bulbagarden and named after Bulbasaur.

It opened to the public on 14 February 2005 and became the English member of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis, a family of Pokémon wikis in several languages. It also belongs to an alliance of independent Nintendo wikis.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
