BULBA FROM BULBASAUR'S MYSTERIOUS
GARDEN
I used to work for Bulba at BMG for a time, and I learned
a lot from there! Now here I am with me own site for fun!
^_^ I'm glad I got in touch with Bulba cuz he's such a
great guy to talk to and he had a lot to say! I used to
be Dragonite on BMG to clear that up...
The
PokéPalace:
Okay first off.. I know you're probably really busy with
your site, so I would like to take this time and say how
grateful I am for your time.
Bulba: Okay ^_^; Sure.
Bulba: Anything for old Drag' =)
The
PokéPalace:
Cool thanks! Now first question: What is your job at your
website? (I already know, but I'm following a script :)
Bulba: :) Well, I pratically do
everything at BulbaGarden. Though, staff help with news
and sometimes little things like synopsis, and things.
But I mainly do all the background work and design.
The
PokéPalace:
That's a handful... Why did you get involved with Pokémon?
Bulba: Oh, well I enjoy anything with
Magic. Thats why I like Cardcaptors too! I got involved
with Pokemon when NOA sent that one promo video home.. ya
know, with Ash's "aunt"? I watched it like 90
times over =D I also enjoyed their "Pokemon Times"
magazine they sent home, and I got the Pokemon TCG
Starter set at Electriconic Bontique (first shipment
there EVER too!). I got the game when it first came out,
and raced home to watch the Pokemon Anime when it aired
on UPN (Universal Paramount Network) at 3:00/3:30. The
Anime was my favorite, because if you watch it closley it
gives you tips on the game and TCG.
Bulba: !!!!!>>>> Change
Cardcaptors to "Card Captor Sakura" ; I hate
Cardcaptors
The
PokéPalace:
So I've heard... darn censors and translators.
The
PokéPalace:
Why did you start your website?
Bulba: I started it because I was
disappointed by all the bad Pokemon websites on the net,
and I really loved Pokemon. I never meant for BMG to last
this long, nor to get it this popular. It just happened.
The
PokéPalace:Well
it did, and I'm glad! ^_^ In a nutshell, can you give me
a brief history of what you did with your website?
Bulba: In a Nutshell, well. I was first
on Tripod for about two days, then I moved to Angelfire
for a long time. Then I moved to Spree.com, then I asked
FGA (fairgame.net) to host me. They offered me a domain,
I agreed. I moved into BulbaGarden.com around the Summer
of 99'. I started to get alot popular, and I started
hosting. I started alot of Pokemon trends on the internet.
Such as hosting, networks, Banner exchanges and even
newspro. I became a top websit then, though I was pretty
famous for my originality and humble"ness" at
Angelfire and Spree. Now, we are on EUNI (euniverse.com).
Its been a rough ride, since their servers are a little
un-reliable. We get offers, but the hassal of moving
always causes me to reject.
The
PokéPalace:
Why do you think people should visit your website?
Bulba:I think people should visit
BulbaGarden because of its originality. BulbaGarden was
made for the fans by the fans, and in such is a very
humble website. Some of the main features of BulbaGarden
are the anime. The Anime is created by me, with the help
of fans submiting synopsis and staff with screenshots and
video clips. WE currently have the best Pokemon Anime
section on the internet.
The
PokéPalace:
Personally I agree. I love your Anime section. Now... If
you could do anything to yoursite with just a snap of the
fingers, what would it be?
Bulba: Rebuild all sections that were
deleted mysteriously. That really put me back, though I'm
having "fun" redoing them :)
The
PokéPalace:
cool, and good luck with that! Altough I would be going
crazy... Do you know other Pokémon webmasters? If so,
who?
Bulba: Oh boy, I know almost all of them.
Like Jaxel, Kevin, Scrubb (PokemonCenter) Jensen, Athena,
Scott (PokemonVillage), Scott (PokeBall.net), Torry (Pokemon.com),
.. alot.. I don't always get to talk to all of them
though, which I wish I could
The
PokéPalace:
wow... hanging with the big leauges there... What's your
favorite Pokémon website?
Bulba: Mine, but second.. I'd have to
say PokeMasters. They are a great site, I wish I could
get as popular as them :| Thats my goal for this season :)
Bulba: WEll, maybe not as popular. But
as much content that I could say I'm as good or better
than them.
The
PokéPalace:

Bulba: WEll, maybe not as popular. But

The
PokéPalace:
yeah that's a good site too. Personally, I visit your
site more often cuz of the Anime section ^_~ What Pokémon
website do you dislike (if any)?
Bulba: Um, in experience I've learned
not to mention individual sites that I dislike. Though, I
must say, I'm disappointed with all the Pokemon websites
with no content and alot of added features. LIke Network,
Topsites, UBB. They are all just wasted space :|
The
PokéPalace:
Yeah... looks like they lost their touch for pokemon and
care more about getting hits... Well, now what's your
favorite all time website that you just can't resist not
visiting everyday?
Bulba: Um, in experience I've learned
not to mention individual sites that I dislike. Though, I
must say, I'm disappointed with all the Pokemon websites
with no content and alot of added features. LIke Network,
Topsites, UBB. They are all just wasted space :|
The
PokéPalace:
Yeah... looks like they lost their touch for pokemon and
care more about getting hits... Well, now what's your
favorite all time website that you just can't resist not
visiting everyday?
Bulba: Hmm, well. I can't always visit
sites every day. I do visit mine every day, ofcorse. A
little hard not to (cause' of updating). I do, however,
got to enjoy this one site. Its called the "Anime
Episode Search". Located at http://aesearch.cjb.net.
Its a site where you can search for websites that contain
Anime Episodes. Its really great, since I can never find
Anime in my area.
The
PokéPalace:
That's cool... haven't heard of that site, so I'd better
check it out... What tips would you have for aspiring Pokémon
webmasters?
Bulba: Don't focus on Layout and what
other sites have. Focus on original stuff. You need
something to bring fans to your site. Such as mine is
Anime. Find something you can do best, and do it. Once
you gather fans with your original content, you can cause
them to stay.
The
PokéPalace:
great advice bulba, I think you just described me! ^_^
Now for a couple of opinion questions... Who do you like
better, Brock or Tracey? And why?
Bulba: I like Brock. He's more of a guy
guy, and I like his personality and attitude. Tracey, I
don't know.. I guess its just how I like Gore, I get a
better vibe with him. Just as I do with Brock :)
Bulba: I like Brock. He's more of a guy
guy, and I like his personality and attitude. Tracey, I
don't know.. I guess its just how I like Gore, I get a
better vibe with him. Just as I do with Brock :)
The
PokéPalace:
hehe yeah... that crazy Brock. Goin for the girls... lol...
Now who do you think is a better trainer, Ash or Gary?
And why?
Bulba: Thats hard. One has alot of
Pokemon and is faster, the other is more slower and less
Pokemon. PErsonally, I like Ash better because of how he
cares for his Pokemon and the friends he makes and
adventures he embarks on. Gary is more of a bully, though
I would like some of his Pokemon ^_^ (i.e. Blackie ^_^)
The
PokéPalace:
yeah... can't wait to see his new "Blackie" ((no
spoilers now ^_~)) Now for a different kind of question...
Who do you think should be President of the USA (any
choice)?
Bulba: GORE GORE GORE!
The
PokéPalace:
well i guess that's nuff said... but if ANYONE wuz
running, like Ash or any Pokemon, who would you want to
be prez, and why?
Bulba: Bulbasaur ^__^ Because I *am*
Bulbasaur O_o; :)
The
PokéPalace:
lol yeah i can see you as a great prez... and what kind
of law would you make?
Bulba: Full Episodes on the net for free,
all the time ^_^
The
PokéPalace:I
thought so, Bulba! ^_^ Alright, that's just about it for
the interview. Anything else you'd like to say?
Bulba: Nothing except, GORE GORE GORE!!
^_^ And Good luck with your site Dragonite!
The
PokéPalace:
Oh hey thanks Bulba! And hopefully Gore will win by just
a thread (although I'm a Nader fan meself) j/k!
Bulba: Hehe
Bulba: ^_^
The
PokéPalace:
Alright! Thanks for your time and I hope you keep up the
good work!
Bulba: Alright
Bulba: Bye ^_^
