Responding to post
While this guestbook has nothing to do with music, I'm going to bring this up, simply as the ridiculousness of Justice and this drama is getting boring.
I play Euphonium, sort of. Actually, I have to play the Marching Euphonium for concert band, because my high school's band program is terrible - our only Concert Euphonium is so terrible it can't even be played.
However, auditions for a district's Honor Band (basically, the best players from around the surrounding counties play in an ensemble for a few days), and, because it is more professional than our high school band, I wouldn't be able to use the Marching Euphonium.
Auditions are pretty hard in general, and they make sure they can't see you and you don't say anything. Therefor, I have no way of explaining to them my problem (even if I could, they want the people with the best tone, which I can't do on the instrument because of its issues). So, basically, I'm really scared I wouldn't make it on Euphonium.
There's a couple other options, though.
I could go on Trombone, which I used to play, but I haven't really played it for a few years, and it may be difficult to readjust from valves back to a slide.
Then, there's the option of going on Tuba or Trumpet. Both are valved instruments, like the Euphonium, so the transition would be easier, but they're music is different. Trumpet is on Treble Clef, which I can't read, and Tuba's music is written below the staff, which, because Euphonium's don't go that low, I'm not very comfortable with.
I could always simply rewrite any music I get, slowly, with a composition program I have, so that's not too big of a problem, but I'm risking that they don't give out new music at District Band itself; after auditions, if you made it, you get the music you'll be playing for the actual program, but, sometimes, after you get there, they give you more. I'm worried that, as slow as it is to rewrite music like that, that I wouldn't have enough time to that.
One last thing - they do allow you to audition on two instruments, but no more.
Any input on what I should do is appreciated.

My next essay might be one tackling the Venonat and Butterfree connection, actually :P
Butterfree, do not go here:

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. :)

It only affects the amount you can bet, but since your gains are a multiplier on your bet, and the roulette has a positive expected value (i.e. the more you play, even if you play at random, the more you win), you'll earn more coins faster by playing on service day!
