Yessss I enjoy Boston Legal and Penn and Teller the magicians. :D (By which I mean they're my current obsession and everybody who's following my Twitter is probably really sick with hearing me ramble about them.)



Penn and Teller have written three books jointly, "Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends", "How to Play with Your Food", and "How to Play in Traffic". They are all fantastic and hilarious. Currently I'm partial to How to Play in Traffic, but I'm only halfway through How to Play with Your Food, and the story about the debut performance of the Water Tank trick is already putting it up there (then again, that's because it's me with my incoherent giddiness about watching Teller supposedly drown). Of course, Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends has the bonus of a bunch of gimmicked pages that are supposed to make the book look unreadable if you flip through it front-to-back, which they apparently decided to pad with the full scripts of Penn & Teller Get Killed, Penn & Teller's Invisible Thread, their full stage show as it appeared in 1988, and a few other things. They're extremely difficult to read (tiny red text with all the paragraphing stripped out), but I read them anyway and it was worth it. :D



The books are old (Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends is from 1989, How to Play with Your Food from 1992, and How to Play in traffic from something like 1997) and probably difficult to find (I had to order them used off Amazon and they didn't come with the original trick packet things), but if you're a fan you totally should. :D

My oldest affiliate is Pokémon Rebirth, which has been around since 2001, although it didn't become an affiliate until 2005, and technically the project is now complete so the site is dormant since 2021. Sneasel Plushie, though, is also an affiliate since 2005 and last updated this December.

Dash

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!

Commenting on: Site History

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

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.
