Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Off-topic discussion is allowed, but spam is not; please make sure all your messages are of substantial meaning that at least somebody would be interested in reading and responding to. That being said, obviously I appreciate comments relating to The Cave of Dragonflies, whether they are error reports, questions, suggestions or whatever else you might want to get across.
Responding to post
I wonder how it is that Judgement believes it has accomplished justice by making me type out something of length greater than X in response to them. Is this some new definition of justice that I haven't heard of?
Desolater, the reason you eventually came to be banned on sight is that you kept coming back and never seemed to have learned. You were advised repeatedly that your posts were nearly unreadable (not just making some grammar errors or misspellings, which is perfectly okay, but actually requiring people to squint and put considerable work into deciphering what you're saying) and yet you never seemed to have made an effort to be more understandable. You repeatedly made spammy, flamebaity and generally inflammatory posts, and in general we eventually concluded that by all appearances you seemed to be a troll or otherwise just not about to improve. And I have to say that the fact you apparently coincidentally pop up just now as some guy is trying to prove I'm evil and ban people unfairly isn't really helping disprove that troll theory. It's been long enough that I probably could reverse the ban for now and see how it goes, but I'm rather reluctant to because like I said, I still kind of suspect you're a troll.
I also note that several people were infracted and/or banned for treating you and other people they didn't like like dirt, and that this was a couple of years ago when the general atmosphere of the place was kind of hellish thanks to a group of members who thought being a dick to people made them cool. Since then, these people variously left, were banned, or grew up, and I haven't been aware of that kind of thing since.
Incidentally, as with so many of the things Judgement loves to be dragging out, the name "Kool Kids Krewe" is from around that time a couple of years ago and was a joke even then. Get with the times.
Rude, offensive or otherwise inappropriate messages, including drama, controversy or other topics that might make others uncomfortable, will be deleted on sight. Repeat troublemakers will be banned altogether. Please keep any websites entered into the website field reasonably family-friendly. You can use BBCode (forum code) to format your messages.
Giving an e-mail address is optional; if it is given, you will be notified by e-mail if I respond to your post. If you fill in a website (this should be your own website, blog or social media profile), it will be linked publicly on your post.

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. :)
marshtomp screaming happily
Helpful thanks

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!
