Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Lots of queries here! Doing my best to answer everything:
- Yes, I plan to continue the movie reviews. I've got some other things I'm focusing on at the moment but will probably get to that after. (I'd been redoing the reviews, rewriting the text and adding screenshots - I've still yet to do that for the specials, but after that I'd move on to movie 13 onwards.)
- Unfortunately I doubt I'll do the Eevee in PMD experiment, given it's something very specific reported by one person in a side game. If you have suspicions about Eevee, I think it makes more sense for you to try it out yourself!
- It was probably pretty over-the-top of me to insist OK is unacceptable on that page; English style guides generally don't seem to think so, or even prefer OK because it's the older spelling. I do personally think it's super ugly and jarring to read in serious text. It has just become a word, and I find it supremely awkward to treat it like an abbreviation when in fact everyone who says it regards it simply as a word, and it's decidedly unclear even to etymologists what it's even supposed to stand for, let alone to the people who use it. But seeing as I obviously don't dictate the English language, I should probably remove that particular gripe.
- Bulbapedia and Serebii can both be wrong, so it's hard to say exactly in the general case. To be sure I will generally either try to see if I can find this data directly from dataminers somewhere or try to test it myself on an actual game. However, if I can't do that, provisionally it's good to look into where the information seems to be coming from and what's likely to be more up-to-date. For this case in particular, I notice that Serebii's Pokédex doesn't seem to treat SOS rate as a property of each form, but of the species - so if red and blue Basculin have different SOS call rates as Bulbapedia suggests, it makes sense Serebii would be missing that info. Furthermore, I looked on the history page for the Bulbapedia page on SOS battles - you can often find who added the information and whether they cite a source for it - and they point to a GameFAQs thread where multiple people confirm blue-striped Basculin doesn't seem to ever call for help. So, without getting into testing it myself, it seems likely that Bulbapedia is correct here.

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
Thank you for this. The resources are incredibly helpful and accessible.
