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

Jirachi!
That's what the Espeon and Umbreon page is for!
I also like the messages now showing the verification Pokemon. (lets go scyther!)
Thank you so much for making this! BTW, do you know any tips for getting happiness up on my Eevee in Silver?
This was a beautiful essay. The first two generation of Pokemon had a certain magic to them; not just because we were children, but also because the internet had not yet evolved into its modern form and the games were so flimsily coded. Some very strange things could happen while a kid was simply playing the game, and lead to amazing stories like this. I really loved reading this one. So long, Jolteon. Your memory will live on.
I believe Azurill was the only one, due to the specific unique quirk of having a different gender ratio from its evolved form.
Are there any species besides Azurill that can change gender when they evolve? Or any oversights/bugs that would cause a Pokémon’s gender to change? It’d be fun to make a party of the little guys XD
Happy to help catch that bug in the guestbook! I was wondering why the page 2 link did that.
Also I'm commenting to build up a party, cool feature!
No, this was a first turn move.
As I said, I know this. However, this says nothing about why this decision was made, only that it was stated in this book. For all we know off that snippet, Game Freak gave them some notes that said this because they were already figuring it worked like that - in fact, that’s what I’m kind of inclined to assume by default, since it seems odd a guidebook would just make up something fairly random and counterintuitive like that out of nowhere, and if the guide had made it up out of nowhere without consulting Game Freak, it seems unlikely Game Freak would have just been like, “Oh, welp, this guidebook made this up out of nowhere, guess we have to do it this way now.” The mere existence of a statement that Nidorina and Nidoqueen can’t have eggs in the guidebook is not evidence of why that decision was made or by whom one way or the other.
Copied it straight from Bulbapedia.
"Nidorina and Nidoqueen's inability to lay Eggs was established by Japanese media before breeding became a game mechanic.
[1]Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、ニドリーナになると、卵を産む能力はなくなる。」 ("It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but upon becoming Nidorina, has lost the ability to lay Eggs.")
[2]ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters: 「ニドラン♀の進化形だが、卵は産めない。」 ("It is the evolved form of Nidoran♀, but it cannot lay Eggs.")"
thank you very much for taking the time to write this, i consulted it often over the last couple days as i finished up firered with a friend of mine. :)
