Collecting specfic game-type sites

[BRP]

Basically a prototype thread I plan on making in gaming. The goal is find not only the best websites and forums, but the most specific. Best when broken down to audience, genre, and series/game. The latter two are preferred. Kotaku, Gamespot, and etc simply don't apply. Contribute if you want.

Pokemon: Serebii? I mean I know that's not nearly as informative as smogon or bulbapedia, but it's not terrible. Also http://www.psypokes.com/index.php is nice. It's got an awesome IV Calculator.
