The site and forums are two different entities. I have mods on my forums; they have nothing whatsoever to do with the site, and there will never be staff that will have anything to do with the site.



I tried to e-mail this to you in response to your complaining messages sent through the contact form, but apparently you didn't give a real e-mail address even on your original account, so I'll put it here where you'll see it:





We're all for second chances. That's why it takes a few infractions to get banned, and even if you do get banned, you can come back in three months.



You, however, abused these chances. You reacted to the first infraction you got in the most immature possible way by throwing a fit over it, spamming and flaming people, pretending you didn't do it, and knowingly breaking further rules seemingly just to annoy us about it. And when this got you banned, you didn't sit back and think about how you could change your behaviour: you made more accounts to spam and complain more. You clearly have no real will to follow the forum rules and be a civil member, and that's what results in permanent bans. And because you kept making more accounts to complain while even actively threatening that you would never stop, you were IP banned.



You have given us no reason to trust you when you now claim that you're sorry and won't do it again. You've shown that you don't stop to think about consequences before you do things and that if you're reprimanded you will simply get angry and resist harder, not think about what you're doing and change your behaviour. You've given every indication that you would get into trouble again if we let you back in now.



I don't care if you come back at some point and have by then become a better, wiser person who never breaks any rules. But rushing to register five more accounts the moment you've been banned is not a sign you're a better, wiser person. Nor is thinking you can make everything better by registering yet another account to make a long tearful message about how much you want to be unbanned. It's a sign you don't understand at all how forums are run and have a long, long way to go before that point.





And I don't believe that second account was really your sister. I'm sorry if it actually is, but trolls and troublemakers come back pretending to be their siblings all the time. Telling your sibling to register at a forum where you just got banned is a terrible idea because the administration will be forced to assume it's actually you. The hypothesis you're lying about the sister is further supported by the fact that you had already responded to being reprimanded by lying, namely by editing the offending statement out of your post and claiming it wasn't there. Any reasonable person would conclude at this point that it's actually you, and it's a further reason not to trust you because you're trying to trick your way back instead of acknowledging that you screwed up in a truly monumental fashion.



You can be in the guestbook if you want, provided you don't make trouble here, but stop trying to get back onto the forums. Being so insistent on being let back in is extremely counterproductive to the goal of looking like you've properly realized why your behaviour was unacceptable and your ban was justified, which is the first step to seeming like you could become a rule-abiding member.

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.

Any backup musical ideas in case the Pokémon Company sues you?

If I could get away with it, it would be Morphic: the Musical :P

Butterfree, if you wrote a Broadway musical yourself, what would it be about?

Amazing. The funny thing is I was actually at a theme park yesterday (Tokyo DisneySea).

Happy

I had a dream that a "TCOD theme park" went viral. This still not existing or anything, but u started doing a bit where youd write about a TCOD theme park in an update. Youd be like, had this crazy customer experience today at the TCOD theme park, & then youd specify its location which was just on the cusp of being in a realistic major city but at a more out of the way address. So these so called customer stories started going a bit viral, but of course the inevitable followup question people started asking is "What's the TCOD theme park?" And youd just be like yeah come by the TCOD theme park its at ABCDE. And then the end of the dream was me taking the bus past that street & hearing other passengers say "Isn't the TCOD theme park supposed to be here?" LOL
I absolutely notice the redundancy in this proposed nomenclature roflll.
… And then I had one of those recursive dreams where I came to the site to tell u this, but your years' april fools prank was to change it to one of those pkmn news blogs back in the day that wanted to be serebii or kotaku & it had a personalityless white layout (NOT TO GIVE YOU ANY IDEAS). And you had labelled these posts with like a bunch of pretend new site staff also. And I was like alright let me just get past the april fools update to the guestbook.. but then you were impossibly rarely slow taking down the update, so I was like… Isnt it past april fools day now….. & it was like the 4th. & I started to get concerned about the permanence of this update ROFL.
So that's my incredible quantity of post-late night dennys haze TCOD dreams. 😂 (I don't even live in the americas… My country is like a complete regional isolate with like a leaderboard quantity of dennys branches.)

Not exactly; just get familiar with the route, do a few trees together like suggested in the guide to avoid flying between every pair of trees, and as you do it you'll get quicker at it.

Oof… that is going to take a while, any recommendation to make it fast ?

Apologies, my younger brother snuck onto my computer and wrote this. I do not have any interest in writing pokemon fanfictions and much prefer playing the official games.
My brother tends to do stuff like this, deleting save files for my pokemon games, and such.


Apologies,
RatonLeveur.

No, you'd need to slather or battle a Pokémon from a different tree first.

Thank you for the answer, now I wonder the best way to go about it, because its very time-consuming doing the route every day for 3 times, and having to repeat it to slather honey again is even more time-consuming, so I was thinking would a double slather solve the issue of getting a Pokémon from the same column ?

Unfortunately, I'm not particularly interested in writing that, and it wouldn't make any sense as an actual AU of this story (legendary morphs actually existing in this universe is right out, for one; legendaries are unicorn-level cryptids here that are not generally believed to exist, but if they did exist, how would there be Pokémorphs of them, when Pokémorphs exist only because of this one experiment carried out by a single group of scientists?).

But it sounds like you are interested and have a lot of specific ideas for what that story would involve, so I think you should go ahead and write it yourself! I would suggest you don't call it "Morphic: the flip side" because that could confuse people, but anyone can write about Pokémorphs if they want to; it's an entire genre of stories, not just this one. Many of the other existing Pokémorph fics out there are also less depressing and more action-packed and have romantic relationships, so if you look around you might find other fics you'd enjoy!

You should make an AU called "Morphic: the flip side" in which there is a new cast of characters, such as cubchoo and charcadet, ots a little less depressing but still action packed (while adding in romantic relasionships), and they eventually meet legendary morphs such as zeraora or deoxys.

Maybe don't include pulling not in a game, like leopard in gen 9
