Well, just before Fruitface hacked TRS and deleted the RPs and stuff, C.C. and I were pretty close friends. You might remember that. Then he told me he was working under Meleon, and I was a tad shocked. Of course I would be, I knew that the fruit was bad, and this just… yeah. Some hours after that conversation, I recieved an email from the melon himself, saying that I had been accepted as High Knight of Fire, making me all WTF.
After that, Flame Gurl (you might remember her) had started a forum of her own. Which got targetted by Cantaloupe. I had joined and got appointed a mod, then it started. He'd been banned, and since he had a dynamic IP, he'd been posting in the account activations there. One of the threads he posted was entitled "To Wind of Darkness" (my username at the time), and he was using a guest name of "you b*tch". As soon as I clicked on it, I saw that he had flamed me very badly for "betraying him". I didn't let it affect me at first, and he got another of his IPs banned.
Two weeks passed with peace, then he showed up again. Promising to be good and all that, so they naively let him in. Two weeks later, he attacked. Spam, flaming, the whole nine yards. Not to mention, personal attacks toward me myself. This time, it affected me, even if subconsciously. That entire week I suffered migranes and nausea, until finally the whole problem was solved with another ban. But that week scared me, because he kept emailing me, the titles filled with flames and insults.
Now you see why I don't give it out anymore.
Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight.

Catching it in a regular Poké Ball is definitely not the inexplicable bit in this scenario; people catch legendaries in regular Poké Balls all the time. Depending on its HP and status and which game you're playing, it's lucky but far, far more likely than finding a shiny, much less a Pokémon with perfect IVs.
I somehow caught a shiny roaming cresselia in a regular pokeball and it had perfect stats. Can someone please explainh how?
You just select Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres - if the form matters, it'll show a field where you can pick the form.
Is there no settings for the Galarian legendary birds?
Just testing this comment thingy.
hey
It does show your critical capture odds, e.g. "You have a 1.953% chance of a critical capture, which then has a 58.791% chance of succeeding. Failing that, you have a 11.946% chance of succeeding with a normal capture. All in all, this amounts to a 12.861% chance per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 6 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 22 balls." If it doesn't say anything about a chance of a critical capture, then there's no chance of a critical capture with what you've input into the calculator - note that the critical capture chance depends on the total Pokémon caught in your Pokédex, so if you left that as 0, you'll always get no chance of a critical capture.
The calculator is useful but I’d love a line that tells me my crit capture odds, even if it doesn’t change based on mon it’ll be useful to those who haven’t memorized it
“^me^”
Use HM Cut on the door, for anyone who didn't look it up before walking all the way to the door because this guy didn't want to mention it, i feel bad for you.
Thanks!
Lookie lookie i got a latios
This is the most complicated thing I have seen in my entire life.
Gotta guess 'em all
Children are the real villains.
Cute and nice website! :3
I came here to read your HTML thingie and ended up engaged with other posts of yours.
According to The Forbidden Leaks(TM), Gibble was what they initially wanted to name it. It was rejected by legal, for whatever reason
This is easy
Very helpful calculator. Although knowing the odds can be more painful—I didn't catch a parasect after a full 30 safari balls (<1.3% odds by my working).
Aww, thank you! I'm always delighted when people who used to visit when they were kids come back and are psyched to see the site is still here and active.
Aww, thank you for a lovely comment <3 Always thrilled to hear I've helped motivate other people to create their own websites!
hi, Dragonfree! i just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.
i've been visiting TCOD for a long time - a poor-memory guesstimate puts my first visit sometime around 2006, though there's a very good chance i could have spied it earlier while roaming Pokémon websites.
reading the history tells me it was exactly the labour of love i always sensed it was, right down to the bare bones. you set out to make a website YOU would have loved to visit, and built so much on top that it kept me coming back and exploring different parts of the site for all sorts of completely unrelated reasons - creative inspiration from your art and writing, fun and silliness when i had loose time, to educate myself on game mechanics and trivia, to use the resources you set up, and… motivation to keep learning basic website building in my free time, because i got (and still get) the exact same feeling from TCOD as you did from Mew's Hangout back in the day.
i'm a big silly grown-up now, and even now when i'm roaming the internet or discussing Pokémon with friends, The Cave of Dragonflies is like a monument on a hill i can point to and say "oh, we should visit! let me show you!"
your dedication to crafting something that works as both a well-formed utility and an earnest, creative showcase is inspiring.
i think there must be hundreds of people just like me who feel this way about TCOD - i hope you already know that by now, and i'm definitely not the first to say it - but reading the Site History earlier made me realise i feel like a little part of its history, too. and i don't know if i've ever said so! so, here's one. cheers for everything.
OK, sappy comment over. roll credits. thank you Dragonfree! keep well!
