'''Encyclopaediae Pokémonis''', also stylised '''Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis''', is an [[:Category:open content|open content]] collective project of ''{{tag|Pokémon}}'' wiki [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopaedia]], available in [[:Category:Wiki Multilingual|different languages]].

The first [[User|person]] to conceive the idea of a Pokémon [[wiki]] was Meowth346 of [[Pokémon Forever]].  Eventually, [[Bulbapedia]] itself was created in December [[:Category:Founded in 2004|2004]], and opened to the public the following February.  In April [[:Category:Founded in 2005|2005]], nYoo suggested a [[:Category:Wiki German|German]]-language version.  Later in the year, in August, the idea that would eventually spawn [[PokéWiki]] came to be.

Due to their both being open content wiki {{Wp|Pokémon}} encyclopedias, PokéWiki and Bulbapedia soon allied to form Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis, hoping that soon more would join the group.  Eventually, the [[:Category:Wiki Japanese|Japanese]]-language [[ポケモンWiki]] answered the call in June [[:Category:Founded in 2006|2006]], having been created in April of that year.

On 6 April [[:Category:Founded in 2007|2007]], the [[:Category:Wiki Polish|Polish]]-language [[Wikinezka]] joined the group.  The [[:Category:Wiki French|French]]-language [[Poképédia]] joined in September 2007, and the [[:Category:Wiki Portuguese|Portuguese]]-language [[LANDpedia]] joined in December 2007.  The [[:Category:Wiki Spanish|Spanish]]-language [[Pokéteca]] joined in August [[:Category:Founded in 2009|2009]], while the [[:Category:Wiki Italian|Italian]]-language [[Pokémon Central Wiki]] joined the group in August [[:Category:Founded in 2010|2010]].  The [[:Category:Wiki Chinese|Chinese]]-language [[52Poké Wiki]] joined in March [[:Category:Founded in 2013|2013]].  The [[:Category:Wiki Spanish|Spanish]]-language [[WikiDex]] joined in May [[:Category:Founded in 2018|2018]].

The seven member wikis [[Interwiki#Interlanguage links|interlink]] to each other, and navigation between articles on the same [[:Category:Wiki Topic|subject]] is made possible by links in their respective [[sidebar]]s.

'[[:Category:Encyclopaediae Pokémonis|Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]]' is [[:Category:Latin|Latin]] for ''Encyclopedias of Pokémon''.  This translation takes the idea that 'Pokémon' is both the {{Cambridge-Dictionary|singular}} ''and'' {{Cambridge-Dictionary|plural}} one step further, by using the singular 'Pokémonis' rather than the plural 'Pokémonum'.

The [[:Category:WikiLogo|logo]] of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis is a Poké Ball image {{Cambridge-Dictionary|superimpose}}d over a polar {{Wp|azimuthal equidistant projection}} of the planet [[:Category:Earth|Earth]], reminiscent of the {{Wp|Flag of the United Nations|Flag}} of the [[:Category:United Nations|United Nations]].  The colour of the Poké Ball, as well as the colour of the underlying Earth, differs among the individual members of Encyclopaediae Pokémonis: Bulbapedia's is green, PokéWiki's is teal, Pokémon Wiki's is blue, Wikinezka's is red, Poképédia's is yellow, Pokémon Central's is indigo, 52Poké Wiki's is vermilion, LANDpedia's was orange, and Pokéteca's was brown.
