Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
This would be the designated place to try out getting a cute little icon on my comment, then!
I got Minun.
I just wanted to get a pkmn sprite :3
This is mostly just to test the commenting feature, but it's fantastic that you're still so committed to the website after all these years! Keep up the fantastic work :)
This website is super useful!
It's helped me loads with completing the pokedex!
Aww - thanks anyway, though! Made the pronoun change yesterday and I gave it an extra read today to make sure I didn't miss any, but let me know if you spot anything.
Thank you so much again for commenting - I really hoped you would one day get to read my little tribute to what an important and fascinating little part you played in Pokémon fandom history, and I'm so glad to know you did. It absolutely made my week. Hope you're having a good Easter!
I can't remember if I came up with the alternate route… I'd started teaching myself to program around then so I was definitely coming at it from a debugging/experimenting angle, so it's plausible I found the Lavender town way? Sorry I can't remember! I couldn't find the thread on wayback and they revamped the forum in 2009 so it doesn't go back before that.
And yes that'd be nice, thank you! (I've also submitted a minor update to my FAQ to use an email I didn't lose the password to, and a feminine pseudonym)
@TheScythe: Ahaha, amazing! I'm so thrilled this managed to reach you and you took the time to comment - I made an attempt to e-mail the address in your GameFAQs guide while researching this and everything, but figured it was a long shot and had accepted you'd probably have just moved on by now. I'm impressed you were only twelve at the time; I was vaguely figuring your 2003 self for a teenager. I don't suppose you recall at all whether the version you saw on the forum suggested going through Lavender Town or if you came up with trying that? And would the forum and that thread still be up and/or accessible on the Wayback Machine, by any chance?
I will go update your pronouns in the article right away (unless you'd prefer otherwise - just let me know if so)!
Love the write up, what a blast from the past! And omg cracking up at Happy's equivalent exchange comment, I never knew the trick disappeared stuff too!
I don't really use the username any more, but TheScythe is me – I was only 12 at the time, and still just gullible (and curious?) enough to try another fake sounding glitch that someone linked to on the forum for TPPC (an online Pokemon game I played way too much of). I think the forum required a login so I couldn't link to the thread, so I linked to their source. I don't remember much other than I knew I had to share it more widely.
Also I came out as trans a few years ago, I use she/her now :D
Hey! I may have stumbled on something that I didn’t see anywhere on Bulbapedia or on Smogon’s in-game guides for the Johto games, and I immediately thought of this page.
There’s actually no legitimate way to get a Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon before beating the Elite Four for the first time in GSCHGSS unless you do a trade and receive a Pokémon holding one of the relevant evolutionary stones. The Fire, Water, and Thunder Stones can’t be obtained from the Pokéathlon Dome until you get the National Dex, the Bug-Catching contest has the same restriction, they’re not found on the ground anywhere, and although certain Pokégear rematch trainers are supposed to hand them out, the one trainer I’ve tried rematching about five times so far (Fisherman Tully, who is supposed to hand out Water Stones post-match) has not said or given anything out after any of those matches.
I never noticed this because I’ve always used Espeon in playthroughs for its fantastic coverage against the Elite Four (Bite/Psybeam in the originals, Psybeam and Shadow Ball in the remakes), but the more I read, the more I’m convinced that Umbreon and Espeon are actually your only evolution options before beating the E4.
@eXilieaon: Hmm, I don't think I understand. Why do you need the turn field to show up when you don't have the Timer Ball selected?
There is another way if you need help-whenever you fight a pokemon, for a millisecond it shows the surrounding area normally.
Can you please add a permanent turn tracker for the timer ball, right now it only pops up when equipt
Magnemite, you can look at the magnets for a dead gievaway
This has been SO HELPFUL, thank you! Your writeup finally made the game click in my head, and now I feel like a very smart person. Number of Coins Go Up!!
I was going to say you infer that Azurill change gender when they evolve, but maybe male Azurill are just more likely to evolve. But, then I read that due to personality values, some female Azurill did, in fact, change gender upon evolution. Maybe they have a little amphibian DNA.
Confirms what exactly, where, based on what source?
Bulbapedia confirms it.
@Hiesetsu Just grind something to level 100, spend multiple days getting as many Level balls as you can, and then each ball has a 5.1% chance regardless of HP/Status. It's clearly the better route :)
The shiny minor's shell is actually slightly lighter.
