	Culthulhu
	Webmaster
	In My Own Words: I was hired to write news by one of the original creators of PF, Mewthree. I started under the alias of Wendigo, and soon changed to Psylence, and I am now known as Culthulhu. Since I was hired, I have seen the opening of the original suggestions board, I have hired artists to work in PF's G/S style, and I have even seen the fall of PF. Since then I have been working to reopen PF. I am an active participant in the current Submissions Board, frequently suggesting ideas just as the regular fans do.

	Poryhedron
	Suggestions Board Manager, Coding, Odd Jobs (Webmaster in Culthulhu's absence)
	In My Own Words: A loyal follower of the Pokémon Factory almost since it was first started, I have been a respected member of the PF community for a few years, and am happy to help out now that it is returning to the fore. I always try to stay objective when reviewing ideas, and can be counted on to help if you're having trouble with your Pokédex data.

	Bonzai
	Artist, Coding, Odd Jobs
	In My Own Words: I've been following Pokémon in almost every media style since I got Pokémon Red for my birthday in '98. I found PF in late 99 and sent in a few suggestions (none of which were published), and exchanged emails with the old artist Aspenth a few times. I was sad to see it go, happier to see it come back, and if possible even happier to be a part of it.

	ShinE
	CG Artist, Shine Artist, Odd Jobs
	In My Own Words: When I first found PF I was amazed by the quality of its fan-made pokémon. I discovered the Suggestions Board and started suggesting, with Lickityke as my first. With the shinies still present in R/S I felt PF could use shinies too, and ended up being PF's first Shine Artist. Eventually, I improved my spriting skills and I'm currently one of the PokéDex Artists. With the ever higher quality of PF's current pokémon, I'm still as happy as ever I found PF back then.

	Antarctros
	Concept Artist, CG Artist, Odd Jobs
	In My Own Words: I got into Pokémon thanks to the TV series (I never had a Game Boy of any kind, all I know about the games is by investigating on the Internet). I started inventing my own pokémon almost from the start. For some years I didn't know that other people had the same hobby, until I found one of PF's SE dexes on a very well known Pokémon site. After I saw it, I searched for its source and finally I found the site. I had arrived at a time when suggestions were suspended temporarily, so I waited, suggested a few moves, and started getting in touch with the staff, particularly ShinE, who made possible my recruitment. And that's it, here I am!

	Miravistel
	CG Artist
	In My Own Words: I've been a fan of the Pokémon Factory since just before the original version went offline, and have been suggesting pokemon since it restarted. For a long time I've been tinkering around with sprites; recoloring, splicing, editing and making them, slowly getting better. I'd always wanted to be a member of the staff, and I was ecstatic when I realized that I'd gotten good enough at spriting to be a sprite artist for PF. And now, here I am!

	Alpaquick
	CG Artist
	In My Own Words: I've been a fan of the Pokémon Factory for a while, I still remember that silly old comic strip that it had (with Charbulble and Togetwo). I joined the forums a few years ago, suggested a couple pokémon, and I worked on my spriting skills until I thought I was ready to try out for the job of being a CG artist here, and well, here I am now.

	Cacapulse
	Concept Artist
	In My Own Words: A great fan of Pokémon, I was somewhat getting tired of waiting for years to see new official Pokémon. So I scoured the internet looking for fanmade pokemon, that was how I found the PF site, I was amazed of their high quality pictures and descriptions. Months later I tried to suggest some of my ideas. Later I tried to put up some sketches, which some of the staff seemed to like. I was tested, I passed and POOF! I have my first job. (That I actually like) ;)

	Arcaleoh
	Concept Artist
	In My Own Words: Like essentially everyone else in Staff, I knew of the Pokémon Factory since its Red and Blue incarnation, when genetic accidents roamed free and cyborg versions of real Pocket Monsters were widely accepted. In any case, things have changed quite a bit since then, but I've remained a member and constantly suggested my ideas. Recently, I was apparently noted for my ability to draw...things, for which I was hired as Concept Artist for the Pokémon Factory. It's turning out to be quite fun, too.

	Squirrelay
	PF League Admin
	In My Own Words: When I was just a lad, I stumbled upon a little site named 'The Pokemon Factory.' I attempted to suggest a pokemon under the sites first iteration, but it wasn't meant to be. Then the site closed, came back up again, I lost it, and then I found it again. I watched from the shadows, enjoying the hard work of the Staff and the creativity of the Pokemon fandom. Being the shy person I am. I only have one evolutionary-line approved at time of writing. I wanted to be a sprite artist but my skills were never on par (and still aren't), but I was fortunate enough to be given a job as the Pokemon Factory League Administrator (sounds official, huh?). I enjoy working with the Staff and hope to do so in the long future.

	Botispine
	Concept Artist, Gopher
	In My Own Words: Hi! I'm Botispine, the gopher of PF! I found PF back when it was in retro-mode. Of course, I was into Pokémon the winter is was released. Ahh....those were the days...playing Pokémon Blue....*ahem* Anyway, my hobbies include taking care of my fish, reading, playing Starcraft, Pokémon and the Internet (Of course)!
