Hello everybody here! I am a fairly-new nerd when it comes to Pokémon, but I have been familiar with the franchise throughout all of my life. Only recently, upon receiving gifts from a friend on my 21st birthday, did I REALLY start getting obsessed with all things Pokémon. I have been working a lot on a project that I haven't named yet, but it's a fairly simple project; it started with me reading the Pokémon: Master Trainer board game rules and manual, as a friend of mine possesses a copy from the early 2000's and shared it with me on my birthday. As we played the game and as I read the manual to understand the game entirely, I noticed how dissimilar it really is from the REAL Pokémon games - I mean come on, set damage? No evolution? What on Earth! - so, after we played like 10 rounds and I understood the game from start to finish, my friends and I changed the rules to make the game longer and more fun. As we did this, a question continuously arose; what if we made our very own version of a Pokémon board game, which would play almost exactly like the original Nintendo games (all rulings from Gen 2, Crystal), have certain customizable elements, roleplay elements, and actual random numbers generation (including dmg calculation and catch rates)? What if we were to make something like THAT? Would that be any fun?
Well, here I am two months later. I have been working on this project a lot, taking only few breaks during production. In a sense, the game is a combination of the original Pokémon games, the Pokémon board game, with some elements of Dungeons and Dragons (character customization, character leveling, more character actions and so on). And let me say, this has been a real pain in the arse, as I have NO prior Pokémon knowledge other than sucking very bad at the original games, and generic Pokémon trivia I learned from the shows, TCG, and Pokémon: GO.
Please, if anyone is interested in this project, alert me immediately. I am looking for fanatics that know even the smallest details having to do with in-game conversions and statistics, who know the specifics of the lore that aren't readily available on the internet, and who are eager to see the creation of this thing!
I have tons of work that still needs to be done, and tons of questions that need answering!
Thanks,
Trainer Walker

My oldest affiliate is Pokémon Rebirth, which has been around since 2001, although it didn't become an affiliate until 2005, and technically the project is now complete so the site is dormant since 2021. Sneasel Plushie, though, is also an affiliate since 2005 and last updated this December.
Who is your longest affiliate at this point? And are there any old Pokemon fansites from 2006 that are still updated 20 years later (othen than the big ones)?
Happy Pokémon Day! To celebrate, I finally figured out that my top 5 Pokémon are Rotom, Unown, Arceus, Ho-oh, and Zoroark!
Ugh, thanks for letting me know. I had no idea.
Snivy
:D
Man… I remember reading IV guides and other things off this site back in middle school. I'm blown away that it still exists and is still active. You've inspired me to make my own personal site, so thanks for that!
Godspeed, and thanks for all the tips throughout the years~
all that aside, it's absolutely incredible to see both the users who popularized the mew trick show up on this forum over 20 years later! especially as someone who's been checking in on this site every once and a while for some ~8ish years (pales in comparison, but still) and am always happy to see it's still being updated, being a fan of pokemon games and all their weird bugs and quirks is something you can never really fully lose interest in and i think that's wonderful
was trying to figure out what that acronym even meant and doing a little digging it's a transphobic nazi dogwhistle. just wonderful (intense sarcasm)
butterfree, if you see this, i strongly suggest deleting the comment above, as it happens to be hate speech disguised on a surface level as support.
and to any trans women or queer people in general who stumble across the above comment and get caught off guard like i was. you are loved. above commenter is a bigot trying to bait people. take my hand. let's hit them with hammers together
THANK YOU for telling me this. I was using a level ball to catch a lv 6 numel at full HP and it did not work multiple times. Other catch rate calculators said it should be a 100%. And googling why the ball wasn't working didn't give me any answers either.
What Pokémon are you trying? Note that any Pokémon that already have a catch rate of 255 (like earlygame bugs/rodents, etc.) will never have their catch rate boosted by Apricorn balls, because Apricorn balls work differently from other balls: they modify the catch rate directly, and it's capped at 255.
thank you for the type glitch explanation . im in diglett cave rn and was very confused when it showed super effective against my bulbasaur XD
It doesn't seem to be working for love balls or level balls? The catch rate isn't changing when you change the levels or gender
So cool! I was never aware of this before, and you explained it so well!
Genuinely an amazing read. I cannot imagine a better way to honor the memory of a lost friend than to document so thoroughly what made them special, both mechanically and to you.
I luv centiskorch
