HAY BUTTERFREE i saw on your twitter (yea i actually follow that, sue me) that you had an interest in writing another Dave and Mia Discuss but didn't know what to make it about. A few weeks ago I was actually tempted to post a couple ideas I had but forgot, but seeing that tweet reminded me of them



Dave and Mia Discuss Art or Dave and Mia Discuss Music.

In response to: post by Dylan

Here’s a tip: there is an official Pokédex website that you can use. I usually use it to scoff at how Terapagos does not fit in with Koraidon and Miraidon, but it can be used for everything.

Commenting on: Is Pokémon Childish?

Thanks. I may not be an adult, but middle school is hard, and as someone who doesn’t have popular kid qualities, it is even harder. I recently started watching the anime again, and I was hesitant to do so. But this did allow me to see I’m not the only person in this situation, and that who I am is who I am. I don’t have to change for a group who I don’t know, let alone a group who annoys me 80% to death. So thank you for letting me know I can enjoy what I want.

I think the most difficult part has been some of the community management aspects, broadly speaking; when you try to maintain a community of a bunch of disparate people on the internet, you're going to get all sorts of drama going on around you that you have to try to navigate, and that's challenging even for an adult, let alone a teen. But I think I managed okay, overall.

Commenting on: Site History

Hi! I just read through the history of the site and found it fascinating. Even though I wasn't familiar with Mew's Hangout, it's amazing to see how that sparked everything!
I do have a question: how difficult has it been to manage and maintain the site for all these years? What were the biggest difficulties that you faced along the way?

If you go left through the grass and up before the Aroma Lady fight here, there is a hidden max repel when you click on the rock. That info was missing (currently using your amazing guide to play and found thus item). I thought you might like to know :)

It means that one of the encounter slots changes if you use pokeradar. If you don't use pokeradar, it uses whatever is in the "Not using pokeradar" box. So just don't turn on the pokeradar and you're good.

The encounter slot is called "Pokeradar" because the idea is that it can ONLY be affected by using the pokeradar, so time of day, swarm, and dual slot don't ever change what's in that slot. Only pokeradar does.

This surprises me beacuase I fought zapdos on my first ultra ball

I love creating Pokémon, and I wanted to share one. Please let me know if you like it if you have time!

Waviper
is inspired by a water snake. It's a water type. I was thinking about making it a water-ice evolution, but I haven't created one yet.
Appearance: It's light blue, with dark blue crystal-shaped scales. It has three bubbles on its tail that resemble rattlesnake rattles. Shiny is light green, and the bubbles are aqua green.
Pokédex: It was carried to land by the waves. It's loved by children and shares the bubbles it creates with them. The noise it makes with its rattles is reminiscent of sea waves.
Height (or rather length): 1.7 meters
Weight: 5.5 kg
Classification: Wave
Ability: Water Veil
Stats: HP 40 ATK 50 DEF 45 SP ATK 65 SP DEF 35 SPEED 55

Great content, I especially appreciate the shoutout to Fisherman Tommy, where most people only speak about Fisherman Ronald for EV training attack!

Ack, I messed up the BBC tags. My apologies; feel free to correct on your end and delete this message if that's something you can do (if not I will shamefully accept my place on the wall of immortalized internet typos 😔)

Just to let you know, the link at the end of the Includes[\b] section currently leads to a 404 page

(I know what Clue 3 means but I still can't find the Secret Link. Surely I must be close 😭)

You might have accidentally typed an extra space after the name? Come to think of it, the game ought to just automatically strip it out if that happens; let me just do that real quick…

I’m referring to legendary Pokémon in gen 3 (they all have the same catch rate). There’s no difference between exactly 1hp and 11 percent hp if trying to catch a sleeping or paralyzed mewtwo with timer balls or ultra balls.
