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

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. 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; however, messages obviously posted solely as a pretext for advertising, or advertising shady or inappropriate websites, will be deleted.

I love the Favourite Pokémon Picker you've created. I know a lot of people who have used it, and it's genuinely great. However, I have a suggestion that I hope you'll consider implementing.

Right now, you only have the option:
"Final evolutions only - If checked, only final evolutions will be included."

However, I often choose my favourite Pokémon based on the first Pokémon in an evolutionary line, not the final evolution. For example, to avoid choosing the same evolutionary line twice, I'll often pick Caterpie instead of Butterfree.

So, I am asking if you can please add an option to the Favourite Pokémon Picker that shows you only the First Forms.

The only complication I can think of is baby Pokémon. I don't think this option should automatically treat every baby Pokémon as the first form. For example, the default for the Pikachu line should be Pikachu, not its baby form, Pichu.

A good compromise might be to include baby Pokémon only when they were introduced in the same generation as the rest of their evolutionary line. That would make Togepi, Riolu, and Toxel the first forms of their respective lines, while Pokémon like Pikachu, Mr. Mime, and Roselia would still default to their original first forms.

The option could be written as something like:
"First evolutions only - If checked, only final evolutions will be included. Later-introduced baby Pokémon will not replace the original first form."

I hope this gets to you. Thanks for your consideration!

Thanks for the calculator.
Crazy that Moltres in Leaf Green only has a 4,366% catch rate in the upper best circumstances.

A base catch rate of 3 is equal to a legendary, so you could substitute a legendary in the calculator for that.

nice crobat is a cool pokemon

Thedudeig

Where are some glitch pokemon that have a corrupted catch rate? Like 'M, with a base catch rate of 3?

That one's mostly just my personal playstyle showing, haha - I never run from battles so it rarely even occurs to me!

Considering the bunch of updates to my Pokémon website since she was born including featured sections on every page, a bunch of technical upgrades and tinkering, an April Fools' Day joke, several days in a row of Favorite Pokémon Picker stuff and a game mechanics geekery article involving assembly analysis, I would say I've had some time for my hobbies :P Other things I've been doing include 100%ing Legends: Z-A, playing various other games and watching some shows, a bunch of programming for my friends' intricate forum RPG, and working on an Ace Attorney fanfic.

Kids do cost money, but we didn't go for it until we were in a pretty good financial situation, so all in all we're not feeling the expenses too much.

Being a parent of an infant is overall a lot like being a pet owner except the pet can smile and laugh and tries to imitate and communicate with you a lot more. You still need to deal with them pooping and being a bit gross and needy but overall Caterpie is pretty charming and easy to deal with and in a good mood 95% of the time which is a lot better than I anticipated.

You mention to bring a high level Pokemon with lots of PP to move through the trees quickly. But can't I just run away from encounters I don't want? I've been doing two laps - one to encounter at every tree and another to reslather. If I'm running from every encounter, does that put me into the same column? Thanks so much for all of your hard work on this!

Bryn

How is being a parent? Do you still have free time for hobbies? And is it expensive?

Caterpie is doing well! She is ten months old and starting to learn to walk. We don't have much in the way of plans for her future; it depends what she turns out to be interested in and what she wants to do.

Bryn

How's Caterpee doing. Any plans for her in the future?
