*Sigh* I wish my school band went and performed out of… the school! I play guitar, and most of the other kids in the band are awful.
I found out something really funny (not "Ha ha!" funny, but "Are you kidding me? That's awful!" funny) the other day. In a Canadian province called Quebec, they just set a new law. If there's a video game with a french version made, then you are not allowed to sell the English game unless you have the french version in stock as well. This means that many Quebec video game stores will start failing, as most french versions do not come out until six or so weeks after the English version. It's very funny if you know Quebec politics and history. Here goes:
Back in the late 1600's, Jaques Cartier claimed what is now Canada for the French. Britain took what is now the U.S.A. and claimed it for Britain. Samuel de Champlain established the first French colony, Quebec City. France and Britain were always tense. They had fought in many wars. Britain, wanting to rule all of North America, and France, which pretty much disliked Britain, decided to start the Seven Years' War in 1756. It ended in 1763, and Britain had won. So now that Britain had all of North America, they decided to let the French people stay where they were, keep their religion, and keep their heritage. They even gave special privileges to them that the British people didn't get! This made the the British people mad, so they went south and created their own independent nation, called the U.S.A. Britain didn't object, but started to block trade routes, and supply first nations people with weapons to fight the U.S.A. They also didn't give up promised land. This made the U.S.A. mad, so they attacked Britain during 1812(now called upper and lower Canada), but were pushed back and defeated. Very little land was gained or lost. All of the french people were in Canada (specifically Upper Canada, which was southern) and settled in what is now Quebec. However the French were always wanting more, and were upset with Britain. This has excelled into the point where they asked TWICE to become their own country. They even went to France and said, "Um… Can we, like, join up with you?" but France replied, "Jeez, we have enough problems, let alone looking after you guys!" Quebec is so attached to their heritage, that they are constantly asking the government to let them have special laws, just as stated above.

I wasn't sure if I should put it on the zodiac page or this page since it's not a question. Just found it really cool that my birthday has a strong moon theme xD day of Lunatone in the reign of Cresselia. Anyway, this website is really cool!
The Calyrex option here is just for Calyrex itself, not the Ice Rider or Shadow Rider form. Does that mean that the catch chance is the same for both? Even for Heavy Ball, when Ice Rider is over 100x heavier than normal Calyrex?
My next essay might be one tackling the Venonat and Butterfree connection, actually :P
Butterfree, do not go here:

Jirachi!
That's what the Espeon and Umbreon page is for!
I also like the messages now showing the verification Pokemon. (lets go scyther!)
Thank you so much for making this! BTW, do you know any tips for getting happiness up on my Eevee in Silver?
This was a beautiful essay. The first two generation of Pokemon had a certain magic to them; not just because we were children, but also because the internet had not yet evolved into its modern form and the games were so flimsily coded. Some very strange things could happen while a kid was simply playing the game, and lead to amazing stories like this. I really loved reading this one. So long, Jolteon. Your memory will live on.
I believe Azurill was the only one, due to the specific unique quirk of having a different gender ratio from its evolved form.
Are there any species besides Azurill that can change gender when they evolve? Or any oversights/bugs that would cause a Pokémon’s gender to change? It’d be fun to make a party of the little guys XD
Happy to help catch that bug in the guestbook! I was wondering why the page 2 link did that.
Also I'm commenting to build up a party, cool feature!
No, this was a first turn move.
As I said, I know this. However, this says nothing about why this decision was made, only that it was stated in this book. For all we know off that snippet, Game Freak gave them some notes that said this because they were already figuring it worked like that - in fact, that’s what I’m kind of inclined to assume by default, since it seems odd a guidebook would just make up something fairly random and counterintuitive like that out of nowhere, and if the guide had made it up out of nowhere without consulting Game Freak, it seems unlikely Game Freak would have just been like, “Oh, welp, this guidebook made this up out of nowhere, guess we have to do it this way now.” The mere existence of a statement that Nidorina and Nidoqueen can’t have eggs in the guidebook is not evidence of why that decision was made or by whom one way or the other.
Copied it straight from Bulbapedia.
"Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.
[1]Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 ("It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs.")
[2]ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 ("It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs.")"
thank you very much for taking the time to write this, i consulted it often over the last couple days as i finished up firered with a friend of mine. :)
marshtomp screaming happily
Helpful thanks
