Wow! According to the new favorite picker, my favorite is now scyther! Who'd have guessed?

Love the new updates! The bold new direction of Morphic is really exciting and definitely takes cliche old tropes in a new direction. I'm excited for Jean and Will to be superheroes with everyone! :D

I'm also pleased to announce that after taking the updated favourite Pokemon picker, my fave Pokemon is officially Scyther. Fwee!

Abilities didn't exist in the first two generations!

What was Venomoth's ability in Gens 1 and 2? APparently ShieldDust was introduced Gen3 and TintedLens was introduced in Gen4. What am I missing?

well, it did. now it says "seemingly an error".

in light of your angry tweet about people calling things bugs, it seems like you might be interested to know the bulbapedia page for "level ball" calls the level ball thing "seemingly an oversight".

I'm going to retake a couple of quizzes on here. The quizzes are my favourite part of TCoD.

Started playing Pokémon again so I thought I'd drop by and sign the guestbook of a site I used to go on all the time :)

The calculator spouts some weird NaN stuff if you use the new Level Ball formula stuff and get a guaranteed capture.

Well, the only other math competitions I know are the Icelandic preselection competitions for the IMO. Those had way, way easier problems, but a lot more of them, while the IMO is just three thoroughly hard problems per day, which you get four and a half hours to work on. In terms of the actual competition, that's the main difference between it and the others I've done personally: just a few problems, super hard, intense brain workout for four and a half hours two days in a row.

Then there's of course the whole deal with it being this international event; you travel to the place with your coaches, they take you touristing, there are big opening and closing ceremonies and dinners… There's a whole big experience around it, unlike the local competitions. But I don't know if you're wondering about that kind of thing.

Random question: How does going to the IMO feel like? Does it differ from other math competitions? If so, how?

My mistake! I wasn’t able to get that to work on mobile.

You already can! Just drag and drop Pokémon on the "Found favorites" list.

How feasible would it be to have a mode in the Favorite Pokémon Clicker that allows you edit the Favorite Pokémon List directly? After one round of clicking the entire dex, being able to organize what I’ve already chosen would be incredibly convenient. Regardless, I really appreciate the amount of work that’s gone into it and enjoy seeing how my favorites change each time a new batch of Pokémon come out. It’s truly an incredible tool.

That's really interesting. I believe that it fits in canonically with one of the "Pokémon Adventures" manga scenes in which Crystal throws a Level Ball at full-health Arceus. However, that was in the HGSS arc, so I'm not sure whether it was informed or just by chance.

Oh, how interesting about the level ball!! How does it work in later gens like HGSS?

Lots of things to be thankful for! Happy new year, and I am excited to see the work that is done here in this community during this trying year!

Hello, your website is amazing. I just found it searching for a catch rate calculator. I am 33 years old myself, so much in common. My first Pokemon game was Blue. Keep up the good work, from USA.

I just added a new personality quiz to my website.
