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

Uuuunfortunately that's the 2D Sugimori-style art, not the Home-style renders. Totally different style that would stick out like a sore thumb next to everything else, and also no shiny versions. So these are not usable for the picker. Aaaagh Pokémon Home was supposed to solve the "no consistent set of images for Pokémon" problem
2D art just dropped! 😁
Dude, i'm trying to capture this zapdos but zamn, even with hypnosis and on 1% i couldn't capture it for like 30 ~ 40 turns :V ( in pokemon platinum renegade ), wish me luck guys.
I love claydol so I hope I get them

Happy 2026!! I've never left a comment but I found your blog when I was a little kid and would spend hours in the fun section and reading up on how to create my own sprites bc I was obsessed with fakemon and pokemon splices back in the day… One of my core memories is waiting at the dentist for my mom's appointment to be over, scrolling your site on the PC they had set up in the lobby (the PC seems odd in retrospect, but asia things I guess LOL). It's been maybe 15 years since then, and I still randomly remember the blog from time to time and visit to check up on how you're doing. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well and happy to see that you're still posting. I hope this year is a wonderful one for you and everyone reading! Thank you for being a part of my childhood <3
This list used to be SO much longer. So sad that so many wonderful Pokémon sites are long gone now. Sigh.
Whenever the Pokémon Home renders of them get released.
no
Happy new year! Is there an ETA on when the new Megas will be added to the favorite pokemon picker?
I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this site up all this time. I remember first finding this place when I was a little kid along with what I felt was its equal for Kirby, kirbysrainbowresort.net.
I visited that site a few days ago, and while it's still up, it hasn't been updated since the days of the Wii.
I still use your Favorite Pokemon Picker religiously, and the amount of stuff you have here is wonderful.
Thank you so so so much for this site, it means so much to me!

Nightmare is a condition?!
Shadey enjoys Pokémon casually and through me, but does not participate in online fandom outside of a couple of obscure Discord servers about unrelated things and does not really use social media. He's not averse to online socializing, but he just mostly spends his time on other things.
We have the same sort of Netflix selection as elsewhere, with variations depending on the same rights issues etc. that affect the selection in other countries. I don't know if Netflix even has anything dubbed into Icelandic (if they do, it'd be stuff for kids who might not be able to read subtitles - that's all that ever gets dubbed into Icelandic generally). Currently the government is hoping to entice them to bother with even providing Icelandic subtitles on anything with tax incentives. Iceland is a tiny market, localization costs money, and most people know English and are fine watching their shows in English with English subtitles.
Does Shady have an online presence at all and is he a member of TcOD forums?
Also does Netflix in Iceland only get shows dubbed in Icelandic? Or does it have pretty much most of the shows the UK has?
I have been visiting TCoD since 2007 and am so glad to see it still going strong. Dragonfree, your spriting guides were invaluable to me back in the day, not to mention TQFtL, which I enjoyed following for years until its completion. Happy to read that you’re doing well and happy 2026!
cool
Wow. 2026 and I'm still here. If I went back in time to January 2005 and told eleven-year-old me I'd still be visiting TCoD over two decades later, I'd be amazed. Or maybe not surprised at all, because I expected the old (good) web to last forever and did not anticipate smartphones, social media, or AI ruining it. Regardless, happy 2026, and I'm so glad my favorite fansite on the web (and one of the best parts of my childhood) is still going!
