Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
They simply check after the personality value is generated whether the Pokémon would be shiny, and if not it regenerates it, up to a given number of times. Thus, instead of the Pokémon being shiny if a single generated personality value fits the shiny criteria, it's shiny if any of several values generated fit the criteria. This leads to an overall shiny chance of however many times it's allowed to regenerate the value times the regular shiny chance.
Do you know anywhere I could read about the mechanics of the Shiny Charm, or Masuda Method?
I understand how they affect the rate of shininess, but I'm interested in how they affect the generation of the personality value.
It's fairly obvious that somehow it sabotages the randomness to make shininess more likely, but I'm not sure how.
"Don't expect it to have any correlation with your results in the old type quiz, which is still around."
*Takes new type quiz*
*Gets the exact same result as the old type quiz*
So much for that. (I'm Ground, BTW)
Please do the "inside look to the Pokémon games." That would make my year, and the next one too! Maybe if you do R/B/Y, you could also explain "what happened, what was supposed to happen, and what got mixed up in-between."
I would love to see this happen.

I was reading over your DP Changes, and you mentioned how hard it was to get used to the Physical / Special Split.
Anymore, at least for me, it's the completely opposite. I've been playing Fire Red, and have to constantly remind myself that there isn't one.
Happy Birthday, tCOD! ^^
I'm happy to see this website still running! It's a pitty the Pokemon fansite community is practically gone… how can we bring it back to life?????
This website is absolutely amazing :D I have yet to find one that parallels the awesomeness found here :D keep it up :p
Happy belated birthday to the Cave of Dragonflies! It's really weird to think that I'm only two years older than your site…
Punch Quest, infinite game race to punch clean.
Wow, everything here is amazing! Imagine trying to read everything in the Guestbook in one day…
Does anyone like mario around here?
I enjoyed the Is Pokemon Childish? Interesting read for the Older players :)
Happy birthday, TCoD! Here's to another twelve years.
To think that when you started out, you probably never imagined the site would end up where it is today…
*Blows Whistle* Happy Birthday TCoD!
Whys dont you do a mega mode so we can choose our favourite mega pokemon
Not a frequent visitor, but I had no idea these existed. Nice!
I know you don't take submissions anymore, but I thought this was funny, so I'll just post this here.
I took the intro to the in-game humor page, and translated with Google Translate (mostly to Korean and Chinese and back, several times). I ended up with the following:
I want to see them offering a sense of humor I have ever Pokemon game is his game too seriously I am not quoting memorable lines from the end of the game, in the days to remember. Dedicated to the support of others, and this is so that they can laugh at me.
????????
I was reading the "draw your picture" tutorial bit and thinking I'd need to recommend that you add a reference to "how to draw an owl" to it… but I see you were way ahead of me there. Still my favorite tutorial on the internet.
