Responding to post

Maecenas

Hey there, this is Maecenas, the awesome fellow who's posted once or twice here in the past. This is a bit out of nowhere, but I have a few bits of in-game humor for your excellent section on it if you're still accepting them. I would've E-mailed, but it's my policy to only e-mail people I know personally, no offense meant. If I'm breaking some sort of rule by putting these here I apologize, go ahead and proclaim "Maecenas is an idiot" from the mountain peaks.

Anyways, the in-game humor: Whenever I run across something funny in a Pokemon game, I tend to think, "Man, I should submit that to TCOD one of these days," and I've finally gotten around to it. Consider it a Christmas present…



1. In the ONBS building in Pokemon XD, there's a bookshelf behind the staircase to the top floor (it's the one with an old man standing near it.) Examining the bookshelf will lead to the message, "There's a book entitled 'Survival in the Paperless Era.'"

The irony is priceless.



2. A good many of the Black Belts in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum have amusing things to say, most often poking fun at American perceptions of karate guys. My personal favorite is the one midway through Victory Road who tells you after you beat him, "I've gotten this far in life using the karate I learned on the Internet!"



3. In the Battle Tower (and probably the other facilities as well) there's a Collector who tells you "I put this team together with my Internet buddies. It took us all day!"

If you ask me, that's a reference to ShoddyBattle users and other Pokemon fans who turn to the Internet to create ideal teams in mere minutes.



4. In Platinum, I always liked your rival's line at Lake Verity: "Hey, we don't have any Pokeballs! You know, P-O-K-accent-E balls!" Finally the series gets around to referencing that crazy accent that's caused so many pronunciation train wrecks over the years…



5. A Black Belt in Maylene's Gym will say after losing, "I lost because I didn't eat enough pizza.

…no, anything I say will sound like I'm making excuses."

As I recall, Maylene also says something about being hungry, which makes me wonder about the Veilstone Gym's training regimen…



Well, that's all for now. Sorry again if I wasn't supposed to do this, and I hope you can use some of these!



Maecenas out.



Oh, and "Curse" was well-written but morbid, just like usual. At least you're consistent!

Thanks again! It looks great!

hello! I’ve never signed a guestbook onnansite before. But the idea is cool to me. I like this website a lot and I thank you for creating it. I discovered it through the “catch rate calculator” and I just finished the “found favorites” activity. In short, my favorite pokemon is Gengar! Thank you for having me 💜

Commenting on: Gold or Silver?

This page makes me so nostalgic. It's almost entirely unchanged since I first read it twenty-two years ago, and I love that. It really takes me back, and I remember liking that you preferred Gold since that was the one I liked better (though I used to have both). RIP to my original Gold save that was deleted by Stadium 2 and the terrible, evil, glitchy Transfer Pak in 2003. May my friends Lanturn, Pikachu, and Typhlosion never be forgotten.

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!

Commenting on: Why Do We Like It?

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.
