You've been my Pokemon companion for years! But I have to leave this review because your search hasn't been working for some time. When I type a pokemon's name into the search bar, no pokemon come up at all. I appreciate the effort it takes to make and maintain an app, and hope to be able to use you again soon! I'll miss you during my ZA playthrough. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-10-04, version 6.0.7* I loved Bulbapedia and used it a lot when playing Fired and Leafgreen. I tried using it recently for the encounter tables to use during a nuzlocke, but it wouldn’t load. It only says that there is nothing to load and to add some Zim files first. Please fix this as the app is now useless. ### 3/5 — It’s *fine* *2025-10-04, version 6.0.7* This app desperately needs a facelift— I also can’t find where I can purchase the pro version so I can use the app offline (which was the main reason why I got the app in the first place) It works okay if you have an internet connection. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t load anything *2025-09-28, version 6.0.7* Downloaded the app so I wouldn’t have to go the internet. But the app doesn’t load anything. It just spins on the home page and can’t do anything else in the app ### 1/5 — Completely broken. Like a Rampardos used Head Smash on a window. Wow, what a ripoff of 4 GB… *2025-09-23, version 6.0.7* Well, Bulbapedia sure is a great…emotional trigger for me! Mwahaha… ### 3/5 — It won’t load up *2025-09-14, version 6.0.7* I will open it but it is just an endless loading screen. I can only open settings and nothing there is helpful. But the site works just fine and is great help. ### 1/5 — Just a spinning wheel *2025-09-11, version 6.0.7* The app has zero content? It must be a bug or something because it just keeps loading. Tried closing and reopening and it never works. ### 5/5 — Bulbapedia requests *2025-08-13, version 6.0.7* The app is very good, but I suggest putting Husui and Paldea in it if not added already because the web has it. ### 1/5 — APP WILL NOT RESPOND OR OPEN *2025-08-05, version 6.0.7* DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY ALSO STOP LYING THERE ARE NO WALKTHROUGHS Y'ALL REMOVED THEM LIARS ## Frequently asked questions about Bulbapedia ### What is Bulbapedia?
