Fake Youtube Account Confirmation

Hey All,

Normally I wouldn't post stuff like this here but people are honestly starting to believe it and hilariously has its believers insult me on my actual account accusing me of being fake (even going as far as saying I'll be persecuted and contacted by the real Serebii about it (Hooray for Space-Time Inversions). My actual account I won't reveal as I created it randomly in March of last year as I needed it for something, but I don't use it so could do without the people knowing about it, although it is fairly obvious)

This youtube account is serebiipokemonsource and as such it has nothing to do with me. I did not authorise it, I certainly have not and would not ever pay anyone to run it.

I make no secret of my dislike for this whole "lets turn everything into a video" generation and as such, that is why there are no videos on youtube by me and why there likely won't be any within the forseeable future.

To confirm, the people behind this channel are spreading many hilarious things about the site such as there being 12 owners. I know I used to be quite large but thats hilarious. I am the only owner of the site, heck with all the site staff, we dont even make up 6 staff members on Serebii.net let alone 12.

So yeah, that account is a fake, not official or anything. I wanted to give them a chance to admit that they were wrong so they'd learn something but that's just not happening so I figured you guys should know and hopefully this should stop the BS


Please do not spam the account or flame the user.

Oh well, looks like it's a sign the Pokemon community looks up to you.

But seriously, they like posing as you to throw everyone off.

Why would you make Pokémon videos? Seriously, if your to lazy to write up something for your site then its obvious you need to stop. Well, I never go on YouTube but it should have been key that it was not Joe.

How ludicrous. I hadn't heard of it before now, but if I had, I would have doubted that Serebii would have paid for an "updater". Sure, he has help from the staff and Coronis (if he still SPPf staff?) and even the fans for something like Pokéarth, but they all do it because they want to contribute. Not for cash.
