Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
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.
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?
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
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".
@Em: Ah, this is a consequence of the bit where leftover Pokémon can no longer spill into the next round - if the round has an odd number of Pokémon, then one of the batches has to have at least three Pokémon, because the alternative would be giving you a batch of one. The picker logic now arranges things so that if the round can't have all evenly-sized batches, it'll do the bigger batches first, hence why it'll start with the three-Pokémon batch.
I'm not sure there's a great way to solve that within the requirement of having firm round boundaries. Potentially I could alter things so that we stick to the old behaviour in classic mode but do allow one-Pokémon batches in this one case in split mode, since in split mode your choice of whether you pick a Pokémon means the same thing regardless of what other Pokémon were in the same batch with it… but I'm not sure that wouldn't cause any problems. Hrmm.
Congrats on 21! Love this site, I learned HTML here
The addition of split mode in the favorite Pokemon picker seems to have introduced a few glitches when setting the batch size to 2? When you choose classic mode with the batch size set to 2, it will still have 3 Pokemon in the first batch, and there's no way to reduce it to 2 besides moving on to the next batch (picking or passing). Furthermore, in both modes, if at any point during the first batch you have a batch size larger than 2 (whether you started that way or increased it), whenever you decrease it back to 2 you will have the irremovable third Pokemon.
Happy Birthday TCoD! Been visiting you since 2006, and I am still here. :)
Happy to see TCoD is still hitting it out of the park! I love split mode but I do have one suggestion, it would be nice to have an option to have split mode start in national dex order or by evolution family with all thousand-some pokemon viewable. Having a familiar grouping would make it easier to figure out which part of an evolution line I like best or more quickly find certain pokemon. I know that could be a tall order so no sweat if it's beyond the scope of the project. The Favorite Pokémon Picker is already an incredibly useful tool and this update has been a wonderful birthday treat. Here's to another 21 years!
