'''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:FoundedIn2004|2004]], and opened to the public the following February.  In April [[:Category:FoundedIn2005|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:FoundedIn2006|2006]], having been created in April of that year.

On 6 April [[:Category:FoundedIn2007|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:FoundedIn2009|2009]], while the [[:Category:Wiki Italian|Italian]]-language [[Pokémon Central Wiki]] joined the group in August [[:Category:FoundedIn2010|2010]].  The [[:Category:Wiki Chinese|Chinese]]-language [[52Poké Wiki]] joined in March [[:Category:FoundedIn2013|2013]].  The [[:Category:Wiki Spanish|Spanish]]-language [[WikiDex]] joined in May [[:Category:FoundedIn2018|2018]].

'[[:Category:Encyclopaediae Pokémonis|Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]]' is [[:Category:Latin|Latin]] for ''Encyclopedias of Pokémon''.  This translation takes the idea that 'Pokémon' is both the singular ''and'' 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 superimposed 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.
