The ".gg" domain for web page addresses is a domain that is affiliated to Guernsey, but in real usage, it is also very popular among gamers (and web sites associated with them) because the initialism "GG" stands for "good game" - something I may or may not touch upon at a later time. Accordingly, it is also used by some Pokémon web sites, which are also popular due to the size of the fandom. With that, I thought I'd go over some of these web sites for their significance among Pokémon fans and of course the use of the above domain.
For those who deal with Pokémon Go, they'll likely recognize two websites that bear the ".gg" domain. One of those is the former The Silph Road and Silph League Arena (silph.gg), which bears mention because of the very fact that it has the domain. After its demise and with more recent developments, there is Dracoviz (dracoviz.gg) that serves half of the purpose of the former site - specifically the community or grassroots tournament aspect. Either way, the sites affirm usage of the domain to represent the game players as such.
More recently, there is RK9 (rk9.gg) - yes, like the above is to Dracovish as this one is to Arcanine in phonetics - which serves Pokémon gaming more generally. In fact, its purpose is to consolidate info for Play! Pokémon tournaments wherever they are concerned (Europe and the Americas) with relevance for the individual pillars of the "pantheon" along with info for prospective spectators and registration aids for competitors, including for recent VGC. This site demonstrates significance for itself just as much as it does for its domain.
Certain players, specifically those for Pokémon Go in certain regions of Asia, will also likely have dealt with the start.gg web site, as that site serves as the tournament organizer for qualifiers of that game for some countries in the region. It's somewhat different (and perhaps a bit obscure) compared to how things are done for Pokémon Go elsewhere, but it bears mention for the relation to the topic at hand and its spirit.
Web sites for Pokémon affairs or otherwise can be registered with more typical domains, but specialty domains like the above have a certain spirit to it, even if technically they're more relevant to a country. The web sites mentioned above that have the particular domain and relation to Pokémon affairs of different kinds possess that spirit, and there is something to be said for what they have in common to make a "good game" just that.
