===Social Media Contributor===
As Bulbagarden continues to work on ways to interact with our users across the internet, we are revamping our social media efforts. Because of this, we’re looking to hire a few dedicated social media editors. What we’re looking for is people who are passionate about the project as well as looking to interact with Pokemon fans across the internet.
As we’ve gotten Bulbacast off the ground, we are looking to make a massive push towards video content. Which means we need designers for graphics and thumbnails as well as editors. 

You may be writing or working for different Bulbagarden social media platforms, which include:
* Facebook
* Twitter
* Tumblr
* YouTube

===Staff Artist===
Bulbagarden is also looking for new Staff Artists that can do one or more of the following for the forums and social media channels:
* Make Pokémon related art
* Make graphic art (e.g. banners, image manipulations, etc.)
* Make forum skins

===Writer===
Writers are responsible for writing and publishing news articles in a timely manner. News stories to be written will be coordinated via Discord.

===Translator===
Translators are responsible for assisting writers in writing articles based on Japanese sources. This typically involves finding and translating relevant information from provided Japanese language articles. Content to be translated will be coordinated via Discord.
