This is going to benefit Pokémon wiki greatly. While it may hinder us in the department of getting anonymous editors, we'll have more registered users and, as a result, hopefully won't get as much pointless vandalism. We'd still get vandalism, yes, but hopefully not as idiotic.

The discussion of having a checkbox on the sign up page isn't going to do anything. I signed up to countless sites when I was under thirteen. It doesn't verify anything, just verifies that the user knows how to tick a checkbox.

In my opinion, this is going to have more good than harm.
