Responding to post
It's been a few years, and whenever I think of TCoD, I just imagine what would a country be if Helen was in control? She loves talking about liberalism all across your forums. Her attitude however, in the way she controls the forums from A to Z proves otherwise; until today, she's the most fascist individual I have ever met.
1. The so called "Rules" works as Filtering rather than actual rules. For starters, it literally doesn't let you in if you don't fully read them. I heard this addition is no longer there and I hope that's true, but overall; it dictates what kind of person you MUST be to join the forums, It's hardly about 'rules'. This comes in the degree of 'Warnings' for things such as posting to many emoticons, 'flaming' (30 points?), 'backseat modding', 'bad english', it's almost as if these forums want to be in control of it's image, and it's people, than to just give people to space to be. The number of people banned from the forums simply for being different, is a great indicator. Why is it that other forums are relaxed about how their people behave, unless it gets absolutely serious - while this one pressures people's to the tip of their mind? "Am I saying this right", "is this post in the right forums..", and the constant justification people make after they make a topic, from "I was bored" to "i'm not sure this is in the right place bu i concluded it is because ect", just reflects such pressure.
2. Selectivity in mods. You're modding method is simple: You mod people who are exactly like you. People as uptight and as aggressive and as arrogant as you are. No one would dare think he has the freedom to be himself under this great leadership.
2. Corruption. See; Furret. There's obvious selectivity in who is allowed in the forums, and who isn't.
TCoD limits creativity and freedom of thought. More to come later, take care

You just select Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres - if the form matters, it'll show a field where you can pick the form.
Is there no settings for the Galarian legendary birds?
Just testing this comment thingy.
hey
It does show your critical capture odds, e.g. "You have a 1.953% chance of a critical capture, which then has a 58.791% chance of succeeding. Failing that, you have a 11.946% chance of succeeding with a normal capture. All in all, this amounts to a 12.861% chance per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 6 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 22 balls." If it doesn't say anything about a chance of a critical capture, then there's no chance of a critical capture with what you've input into the calculator - note that the critical capture chance depends on the total Pokémon caught in your Pokédex, so if you left that as 0, you'll always get no chance of a critical capture.
The calculator is useful but I’d love a line that tells me my crit capture odds, even if it doesn’t change based on mon it’ll be useful to those who haven’t memorized it
“^me^”
Use HM Cut on the door, for anyone who didn't look it up before walking all the way to the door because this guy didn't want to mention it, i feel bad for you.
Thanks!
Lookie lookie i got a latios
This is the most complicated thing I have seen in my entire life.
Gotta guess 'em all
Children are the real villains.
Cute and nice website! :3
I came here to read your HTML thingie and ended up engaged with other posts of yours.
According to The Forbidden Leaks(TM), Gibble was what they initially wanted to name it. It was rejected by legal, for whatever reason
This is easy
Very helpful calculator. Although knowing the odds can be more painful—I didn't catch a parasect after a full 30 safari balls (<1.3% odds by my working).
Aww, thank you! I'm always delighted when people who used to visit when they were kids come back and are psyched to see the site is still here and active.
Aww, thank you for a lovely comment <3 Always thrilled to hear I've helped motivate other people to create their own websites!
hi, Dragonfree! i just wanted to say thank you for your hard work.
i've been visiting TCOD for a long time - a poor-memory guesstimate puts my first visit sometime around 2006, though there's a very good chance i could have spied it earlier while roaming Pokémon websites.
reading the history tells me it was exactly the labour of love i always sensed it was, right down to the bare bones. you set out to make a website YOU would have loved to visit, and built so much on top that it kept me coming back and exploring different parts of the site for all sorts of completely unrelated reasons - creative inspiration from your art and writing, fun and silliness when i had loose time, to educate myself on game mechanics and trivia, to use the resources you set up, and… motivation to keep learning basic website building in my free time, because i got (and still get) the exact same feeling from TCOD as you did from Mew's Hangout back in the day.
i'm a big silly grown-up now, and even now when i'm roaming the internet or discussing Pokémon with friends, The Cave of Dragonflies is like a monument on a hill i can point to and say "oh, we should visit! let me show you!"
your dedication to crafting something that works as both a well-formed utility and an earnest, creative showcase is inspiring.
i think there must be hundreds of people just like me who feel this way about TCOD - i hope you already know that by now, and i'm definitely not the first to say it - but reading the Site History earlier made me realise i feel like a little part of its history, too. and i don't know if i've ever said so! so, here's one. cheers for everything.
OK, sappy comment over. roll credits. thank you Dragonfree! keep well!
oh btw i was doing the joke alola one, forgot to say xD
i got day of the trial guide, reign of acerola!! (best trial captain tbh. acerola ftw!!)
