Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Oh I see, thank you!
It's just the total number of species you have ever caught (or possessed). The seventh-generation games unfortunately don't show this, although the Alola Pokédex caught number will be equivalent if you haven't traded for any Pokémon that don't exist in the Alola dex.
may i ask what the "caught" number in the national dex is referring to?
I got the new mega :3
Well, what pokemon do we think the protagonist should start with in the new anime series? Trubbish would be fun :|
Love this site, helps me with runs of the games and catching pokemon.
The reply link actually didn't exist at the time of those comments! I just added that this April.
You guys somehow made a response thread without using the response button… nice
Two words: trapping abilities
PD: I got the gen 4 roaming lol
Wow, I have no idea how I randomly missed a Pokémon. Thanks! It has been added.
You forgot Kubfu's evolution requirements:
-Kubfu into Single-Strike Urshifu: Interact with Scroll of Darkness in Tower of Darkness with Kubfu in party (Sword/Shield), Use Scroll of Darkness key item on Kubfu (Scarlet/Violet)
-Kubfu into Rapid-Strike Urshifu: Interact with Scroll of Waters in Tower of Waters with Kubfu in party (Sword/Shield), Use Scroll of Waters key item on Kubfu (Scarlet/Violet)
I love when babelfish sprinkles in these untranslated words
For the spanish part of the mew thing: tarareando means humming, mordiscando means biting/nibbling and maúlla means meows (the verb) (it basically failed to recognise Mew as a pokemon and misunderstood it with the verb "to meow").
It's pretty interesting, actually! The tiles on that coast (as well as the east coast of Seafoam Islands) are land on the left and water on the right, and in Red and Blue (and their Japanese counterparts), there's a small oversight that means it checks the right side to determine if this tile should have wild Pokémon encounters (there are always wild Pokémon encounters on water tiles) but the left side to determine what type of encounter should happen there. Since the left side of these tiles is land, those tiles are therefore defined as having land encounters instead of water encounters!
However, there are no land encounters defined for Cinnabar Island or Seafoam Islands or the water routes, so the bit of memory that stores the land encounters for the current area doesn't get set to anything when you enter those areas. Instead, like with some bits of the Mew trick, whatever data happens to have already been in that bit of memory previously will still be there, and the wild Pokémon encounters generated on those tiles will be based on that. If you were previously in an area with land encounters, such as the Safari Zone, then it will use that encounter data - only since you're no longer in the Safari Zone, you will be able to battle those Pokémon normally!
As for Missingno., that happens because when you speak to the old man who teaches you how to catch Pokémon, the game has to temporarily replace your name and back sprite with the old man's to show the simulated battle… but once that's done, it needs to put your name and back sprite back to normal. So, while the catching tutorial is happening, the game temporarily stores your name elsewhere in memory so that it can then copy it back over from there afterwards. And as it happens - much like in the Mew trick - the game will sometimes cheerfully use the same bit of memory for multiple unrelated purposes. In this case, your name gets temporarily stored in the same place it stores land encounter data - the programmers assumed that'd be fine, because there are no Pokémon encounters in Viridian City, and whenever you enter an area that does have Pokémon encounters, it'd copy over the correct data for that location first.
So, much like in the Mew trick, you've got two unrelated little programming oversights that come together: your name gets stored where the land encounter data is, and then if you go Surf on the coast of Cinnabar Island without visiting any locations with actual land encounters in between, the game will try to generate encounters based on the data that's still there, which now isn't actually Pokémon encounter data at all, but the numbers that stand for the letters in your name. Some of the characters in your name may correspond to actual Pokémon; others will correspond to Missingno. or 'M.
Missingno, safari zone mons… What is wrong with that coast?
Is sinistea here? Its pretty hard to spot a purple teacup when the tea part of it is already purple.
Thank you so much for this! currently doing a randomized nuzlocke and this has been so helpful.
This is really neat.
Also I was trying to get Meowstic since that's my day but Arceus will do lol.
I got…Dunsparce. oof
Perfect guide! Little dumb that you write up this whole walkthrough and proceed to leave out the one annoying part… the braille lmao.
Most people could’ve done this whole thing by themselves but you decided to leave out the one thing most people are here for😂
