Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Does know one acknowledge me anymore? !_! I guessed your name was Carey! Isn't that close to Cara? Come one! I should get the BIGGEST cookie!
I will hereby announce on this here guestbook that I have never played Halo. Ever. I haven't even touched an X-Box 360.
But I do have Call of Duty 5 for Wii, and once my Wii is set up downstairs where the computer is, I'll be able to play online.

I've written stories, but never a fanfic before.
"As I stood on Mossdeep beach, gritty sand wallowed between my toes, the sand changing shape just because of my single step. I ran further, squinting from the blaring sun and all the while trying not to slip in the wet sand.
Standing at the oceans edge, emerald waves glistening with sunlight lapped around my ankles. Turning around, I saw what a major difference my simple run had done to the surface of the previously smooth shore.
Just one footstep created a cracked, jagged line that went on for meters, disrupting the serene, smooth shape of the shore. Hundreds of footsteps, however, changed the shore's beautiful look completely. Now it was rough, with evidence to what had happened to it.
A deep call bellowed from the ocean, making me quickly turn around to see the creature that caused it. Now the water seemed to mold itself, rising into a large, blaring hump. The sunlight reflected off of it, and I strained to see it. Slowly it grew larger, until an enormous shape erupted from it. Larger than any creature I had ever seen, I realized what it was as it jumped out of the water into the air.
The humongous creature was a Wailord, rarely seen around people, let alone whole cities. Once again it let out that deep, proud voice, making the gritty, loose sand on top of the beach vibrate. It wasn't a painful voice though, just proud. Leaping from the water once more, foamy white water erupted from it's spout, spraying the entire beach. The Wailord then quickly dived underneath the mass amount of water, and disappeared.
I stared out at the water in disbelief- Something so large could be swallowed up by something as harmless as water? The ocean, however, started to seem to rise higher and higher, eventually created something that resembled a thick wall. I stood in shock and curiosity, all the while the wall moving closer. It stood about five times taller than me, and cast a large shadow over the beach. I then ran, slipping over the gritty beach shore, and breaking up it's very face. But I ran to late, and the wet, overpowering wall crashed upon me.
It was like being hit with just brute force at first, but I happened to stay conscious. The water was salty and cold, and mostly dark. Going to take a breath, I panicked as salty water slithered down my throat, causing me to gag. I was terrified.
Almost ready to give up, I saw a sparkling light in the distance. With all of my remaining energy, I groped for the light, tired but desperate. After a small while the light got closer, and closer, and closer, until I could put my head through it.
Gasping for air, I looked around me. The water was starting to go back out to sea, but luckily I dug my hands and feet into the sand so I wouldn't be washed away. he sun was blaring, and I crawled farther away from the water, only stopping to vomit in the sand. Salt was in my throat, burning it, and my head was throbbing with pain. But I could breath. And that was all that mattered at that point.
I turned around once to take another look at the Mossdeep beach. It was so longer hot and gritty, but cold and mucky, and a smell pervaded from it. My last look at it showed me that it was smooth; my footsteps were gone."
Awful. Awful, awful, awful. I just thought of it now, because spammy was a Wailord.

Pokemon ain't even actual animals gng.
I really like the old-school fansite feel here. The Favorite Pokémon Picker and catch rate tools are the kind of things that make a fan site actually useful instead of just another social feed.
Cool to see a guestbook still active too.
Cool
found this site from the favorite pokemon thing, and now I'm trying to find the secret link
Nice website
This is pretty cool honestly, made it to the end! I found the Icelandic stuff pretty interesting lol…
This website is so helpful! I wanted to know the odds of me catching the paldea legends in color-coordinating pokeballs (luxury ball for ting-lu, nest ball for wo-chien, repeat ball for chi-yu, and dive ball for chien-pao (yes, I know the pokeballs I chose added no catch buff whatsoever, I did it for the colors)), and the catch calculator was extremely helpful for this!
My favorite thing about Pokémon are the old school fansites and forums, like TCoD. I've loved Pokémon since I was little, but it wasn't until I got online and found sites like this one, Mew's Hangout, Mewtwofan's Pokémon Page, Suta-Raito, etc. that I truly fell in love with the series. The fact that most modern fans think the Internet was invented in 2010 and have no idea these old sites existed makes me so sad.
Thanks im caching a magneton in firered
Cool
You're right; I was thinking of some other glitch that existed in both.
I'm not super well-versed in the history of glitches in Japan, but I think the major glitch that got really famous in Japan was the select button glitch, which was fixed in Yellow and all localizations, and I'm pretty sure that can result in glitch Pokémon, so my assumption would be if the Old Man glitch wasn't available there, that's probably how Japanese players would have gotten to know Missingno. and company.
"and in Red and Blue (and their Japanese counterparts)"
Not to be nitpicky a whole 10 months later, but from what I've read (e.g. https://glitchcity.wiki/wiki/Old_man_glitch#Compatibility and https://github.com/pret/pokered/wiki/Left-Shore-can-spawn-Pok%C3%A9mon ), it sounds like the coast glitch actually didn't exist in the Japanese Red, Green, or Blue versions, and it was an error introduced in the localization process (and then fixed again in all versions of Yellow).
That said, now I'm wondering how Japanese players discovered MissingNo., and also how such a non-text-related bug could've been introduced in localization…
I think I'm 25 years too late for this, but cool website. Got any tips for assembling a team that rocks the battle tower?
Let's give this a try!
This helped me catch Lugia in a basic Poke Ball after I learned that there's no reason to get it down to 1 HP, just 49% or lower. Huge time saver, thanks!
Catch mechanics are weird because I caught Ho-Oh in HGSS with my very first ultra ball in the very first try, but I'm 40 ultra balls and I still haven't caught Suicune despite having the same catch rate.
Wow, I had a hardcoded list there and it was just missing Clefairy somehow all this time. Thanks! It should be fixed now in every calculator.
Clefairy doesn't seem to get a catch rate boost from Moon Balls in the calculator from gen 6/7 and onward.
Its spheal what do you wantbme to say
Thank you for letting me peek into my own soul with the Favorite Pokemon Picker!! I've finally made peace with my love for Tyranitar <3
