Off-topic discussion is allowed, but spam is not; please make sure all your messages are of substantial meaning that at least somebody would be interested in reading and responding to.

"Fixing it" means a huge headache of installing a new version of ASP.NET on the server, re-moving all the code to a precompiled shared codebehind file and probably spending a few hours fixing the inevitable compatibility issues between these different versions of ASP.NET. I'm going to do it anyway, but not until sometime when I foresee having a few free hours with a good Internet connection and happen to feel like it.



Assuming you're the same person who was complaining about the splash the other day, what you don't seem to get is that there is a huge difference between wanting the site to work as it should and demanding it. I'm all for people wanting the site to return to full functionality as soon as possible (I'd rather prefer that myself), but coming here rudely ordering me to fix it already and acting indignant that I haven't, as if you're entitled to it simply for existing, is exceedingly irritating and very childish.



Moreover, I have every right to pick whatever the hell I want as the featured section on my own website and I can't even begin to imagine by what possible train of thought you can manage to be so offended by the fact I happen to be proud of my R/B/Y capture mechanics section (which, on an objective level, is very probably the most interesting thing on this entire website, considering it is information that is nowhere else on the entire Internet) that you're willing to make multiple posts here desperately demanding that I either randomize it or remove it altogether. Why in God's name is it so important to you that the featured section be random rather than hand-picked?

Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight. Repeat troublemakers will be banned altogether. Please keep any websites entered into the website field reasonably family-friendly. You can use BBCode (forum code) to format your messages.

Giving an e-mail address is optional; if it is given, you will be notified by e-mail if I respond to your post. If you fill in a website (this should be your own website, blog or social media profile), it will be linked publicly on your post.

Who is your longest affiliate at this point? And are there any old Pokemon fansites from 2006 that are still updated 20 years later (othen than the big ones)?

Happy Pokémon Day! To celebrate, I finally figured out that my top 5 Pokémon are Rotom, Unown, Arceus, Ho-oh, and Zoroark!

Man… I remember reading IV guides and other things off this site back in middle school. I'm blown away that it still exists and is still active. You've inspired me to make my own personal site, so thanks for that!

Godspeed, and thanks for all the tips throughout the years~

circuit

all that aside, it's absolutely incredible to see both the users who popularized the mew trick show up on this forum over 20 years later! especially as someone who's been checking in on this site every once and a while for some ~8ish years (pales in comparison, but still) and am always happy to see it's still being updated, being a fan of pokemon games and all their weird bugs and quirks is something you can never really fully lose interest in and i think that's wonderful

was trying to figure out what that acronym even meant and doing a little digging it's a transphobic nazi dogwhistle. just wonderful (intense sarcasm)

butterfree, if you see this, i strongly suggest deleting the comment above, as it happens to be hate speech disguised on a surface level as support.

and to any trans women or queer people in general who stumble across the above comment and get caught off guard like i was. you are loved. above commenter is a bigot trying to bait people. take my hand. let's hit them with hammers together

THANK YOU for telling me this. I was using a level ball to catch a lv 6 numel at full HP and it did not work multiple times. Other catch rate calculators said it should be a 100%. And googling why the ball wasn't working didn't give me any answers either.

What Pokémon are you trying? Note that any Pokémon that already have a catch rate of 255 (like earlygame bugs/rodents, etc.) will never have their catch rate boosted by Apricorn balls, because Apricorn balls work differently from other balls: they modify the catch rate directly, and it's capped at 255.

thank you for the type glitch explanation . im in diglett cave rn and was very confused when it showed super effective against my bulbasaur XD

Sam

It doesn't seem to be working for love balls or level balls? The catch rate isn't changing when you change the levels or gender

Human_Bean

So cool! I was never aware of this before, and you explained it so well!

Genuinely an amazing read. I cannot imagine a better way to honor the memory of a lost friend than to document so thoroughly what made them special, both mechanically and to you.
