@ariel: That's actually just for historical reasons - when I first added Gen IX to the picker, Pokémon Home didn't have the data or artwork for them yet, and instead I extracted the images from in-game screenshots provided by Anubis. However, Roaming Gimmighoul was not actually obtainable in-game at all, so it wasn't among them.

I suppose there's nothing really stopping me from just adding it now. I've got other stuff to be doing, but I'll try to get to it next time I fiddle with the picker.

Listing individual Unown forms would as it stands require messing with the database structure behind the pages in a way I'm not sure I want to get into for a variety of reasons. Potentially I could add that info in the "Notes" section.

If you're doing Location Page fixes, any chance you'll list the individual Unown form encounter rates for the Location pages? Or at least for the Tanoby Ruin Chambers. I know the Ruins of Alph could be a pain as there's four separate events that affect encounter rates.

Anyway always appreciate that TCoD stays up to date even for minor info.

@OT: Ah, I'm sorry about that. Generally, if you want to be going in fully blind, websites can be a dangerous place to be. Generally the Pokémon I've marked as spoilers have been unreleased (there's one of those in Indigo Disk and it's marked as a spoiler so it shouldn't show up if you don't have that checked) or else more straight-up story spoilers, but with the whole DLC thing I definitely get how it's more awkward than it used to be since you can't easily just exclude the DLC Pokémon if you don't want to see any of those in particular.

Perhaps it might be worth having two levels of spoiler-marking, the unreleased-or-story level and a generic "featured in latest official release" marking (maybe with exceptions for Pokémon that were officially revealed beforehand)? Thoughts?

Hi there,

I've been using your Pokémon picker for a long time now and it's a great tool, thanks so much for making it!

One nasty surprise though when I wanted to build a ranking earlier today and found a spoiler for the Indigo Disk, isn't it a little early for those Pokémon to no longer be filtered out by the spoiler option? Not everyone has had the chance to finish the DLC yet.

Hope you take this into consideration!

Kind regards

Awesome turnaround on these updates! However, I think you might want to update the capture calculator/formula pages to address the Catching Charm, since it's now obtainable. (You get it from Drayton in the DLC.)

Can you add a feature for the Favourite Pokémon Picker that allows the user to change the artworks of the Pokémon depicted (e.g. Sugimori art, HOME icons, silhouettes etc.)? Thanks.

[16/12/2023 08:12:18]

Avery Robinson

You should add a feature to the Interactive Type Chart that allows you to reorder the types.

Is Misdreavus still one of the cutest Pokémon in your opinion, Dragonfree?

[15/12/2023 11:46:53]

Happy

The updated site history page reminded me to peek about the styles since its hard to recall this is probably one of the last sites that still has multiple 😩😩
Next random suggestion to go into the to-do forever box: the spectrum header is naturally cut off quite early in mobile format & you only end up seeing a soothing aerodactyl to politoed blue-green range. So for vertical layouts: split into 3 sets of 5 pokemon & serve one at random each reload? :3 Might need to be center-aligned too, my screen for example is five and a half pokemon wide.

@Rauf Mohammed: Cave style was one of the styles of the old (pre-2005) layout. It does not exist for the current layout, though there are other dark styles (Axe-Murderer, Dialga and Hellfire). For April Fools' Day 2018 I made a joke style named "Old-School style", inspired by the look of the site back in 2003, and you can switch to that one on the style switcher page, but unfortunately there's no modern equivalent of the final Misdreavus-themed version of Cave style.

What happened to the Cave Style? I can’t find it anywhere.

Kinda funny how you accidentally predicted Chien Pao with Fangcat, Butterfree.

@Rauf Mohammed: I don't think that Mareep is very subtle - yellow to pink as the Pokémon's primary color is a pretty big contrast.

@Moon: Bloodmoon Ursaluna is already in the picker! You need to enable "Other alternate forms" to see it.

Yeah sorry idk what the website blanks mean, Im just wondering if Bloodmoon ursaluna is gonna be added to the Favourite pokemon picker

[27/11/2023 16:10:20]

Rauf Mohammed

Hey. Mareep should be in the Subtle Shinies page, and heres why: The skin and tail are a bit more saturated, and the wool is pink. The black bits on the horn and tail are notably grey-ish. Just letting you know about it!

Hey hey! I was amazed to see this place still online! I had so much fun here back when I first played pokemon with Ruby, so many great guides and articles! I am very happy to see that at least some sites from my childhood are still alive and not just memories on the wayback machine. Great job for being creative and free for 20+ years, I wish you good luck and prosperity for another 20!

Amazing site, like a modern version of the "fansites" of old. Really impressive something like this still exists. I admire and respect your dedication to NOT having ads, too. I stumbled across this place (more specifically the forum) while randomly doing a google search for "ugliest pokemon".
