Welcome to the Pokémon Revolution Online wiki!
Informational Notice!
- This wiki is only its nascent development, meaning that it has not underwent substantial content development; rather, mostly only the back-end groundwork has been concentrated on, which is indiscernible on the front end for the most part.
- If you wish to help, we will be fielding new editors soon; meanwhile, however, registration is disabled while more back-end development needs to be done in order to ensure enough modular functions are in place to help streamline your work as an editor.
Welcome to the Pokémon Revolution Online Wiki!
What is the PRO Wiki?
In order to answer that, let's give a definitional overview of the word 'wiki:' an encyclopedic website that is collaboratively editable by its own users; as such, it is built as an exhaustive source of information as it pertains to its project—in this case, the Pokémon MMO in Pokémon Revolution Online, more obviously.
As what is putatively the best informational-resource medium, wikis have been specialistically developed for virtually every studiable franchise, be it a movie, game, T.V. series, and so forth; PRO's community has agreed that the aforementioned Pokémon MMO should be no exception to that practice, and this wiki strives to be the most comprehensive, up-to-date resource for it. Forums guides and in-game data-fetching resources (namely the Pokédex) have been resourceful in their own rights and have been greatly informative to this community from the outset, but the overwhelming consensus is that they pale in comparison to the navigator-friendliness, organizational structure and full-scale capacity of a thoroughly developed, up-to-date wiki.
For the Pokémon enthusiasts that this community is teeming with, perhaps Bulbapedia—the premier Pokémon centric wiki since its inception—is the most well-familiarized example. As a game that is substantially predicated around the official Pokémon games, it's already widely consulted by users given all the veracious overlap between the game data of the official games and the data that was inherited by PRO.
Indeed, it is not bound to be adequately supplanted as a Pokémon wiki, but that is not our goal; our crosshairs are set on becoming the most exhaustively developed PRO-specialized wiki, which is out of Bulbapedia's purview. You may be able to dependably glean move-technique data from Bulbapedia (as it pertains to PRO's generational mechanics), for example; but it won't cover the more PRO-specific data, such as the game's own quests.
This wiki has the seeds to blossom into the best informational resource of Pokémon Revolution Online; the onus is on us as editors to cultivate them through rigorous content development, scrutinous maintenance and fact-checking, and continuously updating it—a task that is more than doable with collective, cohesive efforts.
