Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Ee: Charizard. But it depends on the game you're playing.
I've always loved the song 'This Side of Paradise' of Destiny Deoxys.

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!
oh btw i was doing the joke alola one, forgot to say xD
i got day of the trial guide, reign of acerola!! (best trial captain tbh. acerola ftw!!)
I just have to say how awesome it is that this site is still up. I used to spend hours browsing it when I was like, 10. I'm almost 30 now. Randomly remembered it existed and had to see if it was still up - so glad to find that it is!
The Beldum line has a catch rate of 3, like legendaries; you'll see the same thing for other Pokémon with that catch rate. The reason the capture chance doesn't improve with Great or Safari Ball is how the formula is rounded down at every step, as explained on the capture mechanics page; at full health, the final capture rate X is equal to C * B / 3, which works out to 1 regardless of whether B is 1 or 1.5. (If you lower Beldum's HP a bit, on the other hand, the Great Ball boost will be enough to make it better than a Poké Ball.)
I think the percentages are off for Beldum, Metang, and Metagross. Changing the ball to Great Ball or Safari Ball doesn't appear to alter the catch percentage. I believe these should increase the percentage, due to the 1.5x ball bonus. I see this bonus reflected with other Pokémon, but not with these three.
I don’t know what I expected but this was certainly not it
No weaknesses, 1090 BST.
Yoooooo sick I got the ultra beasts, my favorite Pokemon group!
Correct.
It sounds like you've got an idea of the kinds of results you want, for the capture formula, but I think the first thing you need to do is work out exactly what the algorithm you want to implement is. If you want it to work similarly to the later games, then you can check my capture mechanics pages for the later games and adjust that formula to your liking until you have something you feel happy with.
Either way, though, if you want to completely rewrite the capture logic (which it sounds like you do), or write your own event scripts, you're going to have to learn to write code. I know this site has a tutorial on Game Boy assembly; you could maybe check that out? Since you're not developing a game from scratch you could skip or skim some sections, but you'll at least want to get acquainted with what the assembly instructions do, how to understand what the code is doing, and how to write instructions that will accomplish what you want.
