Responding to post
ShinyRiolu: …well, that is mighty odd. See, the name "Stareon's Hideout" rang a bell, so I searched my e-mail inbox for it. Blursh e-mailed me in April last year to apologize for being rude to me when I criticized her site in her comment box. When I responded with the same confusion as I responded to you and asked what incident she was referring to, it came out that she was referring to when I complained about her listing my site as an affiliate of hers (which is not even remotely the same as barging into a random new site to tear its content apart, which I still maintain I simply do not do). Then we had a friendly conversation, and all I've heard from her since is when she asked me about using my quiz scripts. If she has suddenly gone back to hating me, I'm frankly puzzled; we have not had any dealings since then, and if I was rude in her shoutbox (I still don't remember precisely what I said), I apologized for the possibility in that exchange, more than a year ago.
Now that I think about it, I think when I criticized your site, it was mainly because of all the stolen pictures you had with no credit given. As it happens, I take plagiarism very seriously, and yes, when I see a site has stolen content, I will comment on that. Again, however, that is a very, very different thing from waltzing uninvited into some random new site and starting to criticize its content. I am perfectly aware that that would be obnoxious and thus am very unlikely to ever do it.
Getting people to give credit for the pictures they take from the Internet and not list random sites they like as affiliates is not "picking on" the poor innocent webmasters. It is quite simply the right thing to do. If I happen to have been particularly annoyed when I did it, I'm sorry, but coming in here and accusing me of taking pleasure in tearing others down is simply twisting the truth to make me look bad.
Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight. Repeat troublemakers will be banned altogether. Please keep any websites entered into the website field reasonably family-friendly. You can use BBCode (forum code) to format your messages.

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. :)
