Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
GSDS/Typhloise: I have a field of expertise; it is rather broad and vague, but news are explicitly not included for some very simple, factual reasons: I have no connections in Japan. I do not know Japanese. I am not interested enough in most of the news to actually bother to write articles about them. Saying I am incapable of running a decent news site is not modesty or self-deprecation; it is simple fact.
It is also not about me feeling somehow inadequate compared to the big sites. The point is that I am not competing with Serebii or PokéBeach, or any other site for that matter, to begin with. I have a website so that I can have the things that I want to have on it. Sometimes I feel there is something other sites are lacking that I think there is need for on the Internet, so I do it myself. Other times I just want to ramble on about something I find interesting, so I do that. I have no interest in trying to make people visit my site instead of somebody else's. I just want to make my content and let those who are interested in it read it. Why must everything be about competition? Come to my site if you think my site has what you're looking for. If you think PokéBeach is a better source of news than the Cave of Speculative Theories (which you really should), then for Christ's sake just go to PokéBeach when you want news! I am not interested in just trying to provide everything that they provide so that people will visit my site instead of theirs.
I have things that they don't have; they have things that I don't have. People can come to my site for the things I have that they don't, and people can go to their sites for the things that they have that I don't. I am perfectly happy with that state of affairs.
The "spammifier" (though that's a word invented by guestbookgoers) is there to prevent bots from posting automatic advertisements. Since a bot has no idea what the displayed Pokémon is or even that you're supposed to be typing the name of a Pokémon to begin with, it will not be able to post.
KyuuFox: …uh, that's not going to happen? Why in the world would they do that? You might as well say, "What if in next month's CoroCoro they have a huge picture of a Cherubi with an eraser on its head saying 'HIIII'?" o_O I mean, it's technically valid speculation, but why would anybody take the possibility seriously?
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.
Giving an e-mail address is optional; if it is given, you will be notified by e-mail if I respond to your post. If you fill in a website (this should be your own website, blog or social media profile), it will be linked publicly on your post.

I'm from August 29 and i got Infernape, which is nice since i like the Chimchar line
i love this website!
The fact that cheating is technically something programed into RSE is very funny to me.
I love this website
I've just been doing that, actually! Making some updates to the Number Game generally, should be updated later today.
Hey me again lol
Wondering if there's a way to like make it so it will accept Flabebe without typing it with the accents?

It has been added.
My birthday is day of sunflora, reign of shaymin… Sunflora isn't my favorite, but I like Shaymin a lot, so i'll take it!!!
Thanks for this!
"Also I came out as trans a few years ago, I use she/her now :D"
thanks for sharing. ttd xoxo
You may not have been the person to catapult the Mew trick into prominence, but you were the person who made me aware of it – when you posted it on the Mew's Hangout forums. Surely that counts for something.
Good catch, looks like Sirfetch'd was coded in with a curly apostrophe instead of a straight one like you'd generally type on a normal keyboard. I've fixed it now.
love the game, but No matter how I type Sirfetch'd, I'm told it's wrong.

Of course! The menus aren't going anywhere. One of the many, many reasons the modern web is often so annoying is that where old-school websites have permanent content organized in a way that facilitates easily finding your way to a specific thing and getting an at-a-glance overview of what content exists on the site, modern websites tend to consist of ephemeral one-and-done articles organized only by date and maybe tags or keywords if you're lucky, and discovering a given piece of content is generally only done through a search engine or happening to stumble upon a link to it from a different page, and finding your way back to something you read a while back involves crossing your fingers that you can find it through the search function. I hate this about it! Making related pages the only way to navigate the site would be the kind of nightmare I would only maybe consider doing as a gag for April 1st.
But the menu has literally a couple hundred links on it, and realistically I cannot expect some random first-time visitor who got linked to an article on their phone to painstakingly open multiple levels of submenus reading through all of those couple hundred links to see if there's anything else on this site they might like to check out - not only because a lot of people aren't used to navigating websites that way in 2025, but also because it's legitimately just a whole lot of links to go through, for anyone. A first-time visitor is probably not instantly that invested. The menu is there for people who want to find a specific thing or get a full overview of what's on the site; the related links are to give a bit more of a taste to people who just stumbled upon a page and don't yet know they might want to read more.
I've personally always liked menus like the ones you have on your site. It's an easy and convenient way to browse all the content the site has to offer under neat little categories.
I can respect your decision for featured articles and maybe I'll enjoy using it myself, but I hope you'll still keep the menus around for those of us (even if just a few) who enjoy it.
Happy twenty three years! It's wild to think the pixel art on this very site helped me find you [unintelligible] years ago, and how much has happened since! I love this idea of a curated feature section (I'd expect no less) and I already know what pages I want to check the recommends for!
Tell that to the many people who have in fact found the Secret Link!
I Tried, There is no Link

Feliz aniversario para tu sitio web.
Espero que no te moleste que deje un comentario en español en vez de en inglés, porque sí espero que te soprenda saber que no eres popular o interesante solo en donde se habla tu idioma.
Quiero que sepas que muchas de tus aportaciones en tu página web han sido una gran ayuda para muchos jugadores de Pokémon, no solo de España, sino posiblemente de muchos lugares del mundo.
Al igual que otras herramientas online o sitios web enfocados en Pokémon, la información que se va actualizando puede llegar a ralentizarse por falta de trabajadores, de tiempo o porque hay prioridades.
Personalmente, espero con ansias que el contenido de Leyendas Pokémon Z-A (aunque decepcionante) llegue a las herramientas de entretenimiento y a las páginas de contenido. Pero también sé y priorizo pensar en que no va a ser fácil para ti, y no hay problema, hay más cosas para hacer mientras, ya sean importantes o alternativas.
En fin, te doy las gracias por tu dedicación, te felicito por cómo has sostenido el sitio web, y te tendré más en cuenta a medida que sigas poniendo empeño y pasión aquí. Todo ello como fan de Pokémon fuera del habla inglesa.
