Typhloise, I'm pretty sure the United Statesian kids go back to school in August through.
Anyway, here's my "Rise" themed poem.
In the dark days of long past…
An empire rose, at long last…
The people were excited at the rise of this hierarchy.
But it rapidly turned into tyranny.
This dark empire swept across the land,
Ruled by a weird disembodied hand.
It crushed all resistance, and non-resistance too,
And if you were 'round then, it would have crushed you!
The people dreaded the sunset, cherished the sunrise,
And all wore, strangely, three ties.
For the Empire's soldiers would kill them for fun,
With a gun.
Late at night.
And you'd be dead without a fight.
They hoped, soon a hero would rise.
Above all the horrors, and ties.
Slay the Hand-Emperor and bring peace once more…
…And perhaps mop the bloody bathroom floor.
And five years later, "And about time too!" they said,
A hero arose to make the Emperor dead.
The Hero fought for many long
weeks,
Even finding time to make fun of the geeks.
But a fatal mistake took the Hero's life,
Bringing about another wave of strife,
For the people.
Twelve years later, another hero arose to take a whack at it,
But failed fighting a monster called a Rattett.
The final battle between Dark and Light,
Was a pretty quick and anti-climatic fight.
A kid with a salt-shaker spilled some salt on the Emperor.
Yeah. That killed him.
And peace was restored once more!
But there was no hero to mop the bathroom floor.
"WHAT WILL WE DO?" The people began to panic.
Then rose Janitor of Lannic.
Using his Broom of Dirt's Bane,
His dirt destroying came down like rain.
The floor was cleaned, and spottlessly so.
And finally the people were happier than a lava flow. (?)
Some years later came the rise of the Good King,
With a lame name and all.
But to it, it had a sort of ring…
Oh, and his name was Paul.
The End.
Hmm. Not as good as it could be… But it was done in a rush, so meh.

Come on, it was a joke!
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
