Welcome to the Marriland website, a Pokémon fansite that has been around since 2000 in various forms. On here, you’ll find helpful Pokémon resources such as the Marriland Pokémon Team Builder, a mobile-friendly Sword & Shield Pokédex (which is also compatible with Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl!), and periodic news updates about things going on regarding Pokémon. Additionally, I will be covering the upcoming Pokémon Scarlet & Violet leading up to their Nov. 18, 2022 release date! I hope you enjoy my website!

How’s it goin’, everyone? Marriland here! Apologies for the recent downtime. The Marriland website is now back online, although some of its functionality may be missing in the short-term and things may not work quite right. Sorry about that!
The Marriland website previously ran on a backend called WordPress, which is used to power a substantial portion of the web. And the programming language I used for the backend code like the Team Builder and Pokédex is called PHP (I first learned it all the way back in 2003!). On October 20, 2026, there were two major vulnerabilities in PHP that were discovered and loose in the wild.
