This is a page dedicated to answering frequently questions about my work and the site, with all content on this page written by me -- Lewtwo.
Who are you, and what do you do?
I'm Lewtwo, a Pokémon YouTuber, series archivist, artist and designer. I got into Pokémon in 2009 with Pokémon Pearl.
What is this site, and why was it made?
Lewtwo.net was originally made as an upgrade of both my original Pokémon Asset Archive and older website, which, due to the MediaWiki framework, would allow others to contribute in a more direct way. However, in order to facilitate the amount of images in the archive being on the site, they had to serve some sort of purpose to prevent it from becoming what was essentially a file-hosting site.
Due to MANY instances of disillusionment with current sites that either could not be changed, (or would not allow us to make substantial changes) we figured we should kill two birds with one stone, and make the best informational resource on the series that has ever existed, with design informed from the pitfalls of existing sites.
How did you get started with archival?
When working on a video in late 2022, I realized that there wasn't one good place for Pokémon assets. Every source was poorly vetted, had glaring inconsistencies, and lacked most things. I compiled a Google Drive of every Pokémon asset ever made, (known as the Pokémon Asset Archive) and shared it online, in October of 2022. I never really intended to fill the role of series archivist, but ever since myself and a team of volunteers have been uncovering and documenting so much content both old and new, which crescendoed into the creation of this site.
