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.

SHUT UP YOU DIRTY SLUT NIGGA
Thank you soooo much
Got a free dildo from this fantastic website,
Highly recommend blooming resins …
Check out my mums resins, she sells 18+ toys, resins etc. ADD MY SNAP @marlie_dines AND MESSAGE "RESIN" FOR A FREE SAMPLE!
Also, one last question, will you ever do a face reveal?
Also, how popular is women's international football in Iceland. Just wondering since Iceland's Women's team often qualify for the Women's version of the European Championships. In 2022 and 2025 when they qualified how big of a deal was it at the time in Iceland and what was the hype like?
With regards to Eurovision, do you think Iceland will enter next year?
And were there any people there angry about not entering. I saw a poll that said only 60% of Icelanders were in favour of boycotting it.
I think the surfacing of fans caring whether their favorite is popular or not is inevitable with a franchise the size of Pokemon. Within the culture, fans have some sort of pride they build around their views on the games, what's your favorite gen, what that says about you, and so on. Really it shouldn't matter what others think, but it's not surprising that people DO care about something so arbitrary as the average fan's thoughts on your favorite.
Here’s a tip: there is an official Pokédex website that you can use. I usually use it to scoff at how Terapagos does not fit in with Koraidon and Miraidon, but it can be used for everything.
Thanks. I may not be an adult, but middle school is hard, and as someone who doesn’t have popular kid qualities, it is even harder. I recently started watching the anime again, and I was hesitant to do so. But this did allow me to see I’m not the only person in this situation, and that who I am is who I am. I don’t have to change for a group who I don’t know, let alone a group who annoys me 80% to death. So thank you for letting me know I can enjoy what I want.
Takes longer then to find a shiny Nut
I think the most difficult part has been some of the community management aspects, broadly speaking; when you try to maintain a community of a bunch of disparate people on the internet, you're going to get all sorts of drama going on around you that you have to try to navigate, and that's challenging even for an adult, let alone a teen. But I think I managed okay, overall.
Hi! I just read through the history of the site and found it fascinating. Even though I wasn't familiar with Mew's Hangout, it's amazing to see how that sparked everything!
I do have a question: how difficult has it been to manage and maintain the site for all these years? What were the biggest difficulties that you faced along the way?
If you go left through the grass and up before the Aroma Lady fight here, there is a hidden max repel when you click on the rock. That info was missing (currently using your amazing guide to play and found thus item). I thought you might like to know :)
It means that one of the encounter slots changes if you use pokeradar. If you don't use pokeradar, it uses whatever is in the "Not using pokeradar" box. So just don't turn on the pokeradar and you're good.
The encounter slot is called "Pokeradar" because the idea is that it can ONLY be affected by using the pokeradar, so time of day, swarm, and dual slot don't ever change what's in that slot. Only pokeradar does.
This surprises me beacuase I fought zapdos on my first ultra ball
Hi I would like to understand how I can capture a level 35 madicham

while being in the pokeradar slot but also fulfilling the condition not using pokeradar.
I am very confused by this.
Kind Regards,

I love creating Pokémon, and I wanted to share one. Please let me know if you like it if you have time!
Waviper
is inspired by a water snake. It's a water type. I was thinking about making it a water-ice evolution, but I haven't created one yet.
Appearance: It's light blue, with dark blue crystal-shaped scales. It has three bubbles on its tail that resemble rattlesnake rattles. Shiny is light green, and the bubbles are aqua green.
Pokédex: It was carried to land by the waves. It's loved by children and shares the bubbles it creates with them. The noise it makes with its rattles is reminiscent of sea waves.
Height (or rather length): 1.7 meters
Weight: 5.5 kg
Classification: Wave
Ability: Water Veil
Stats: HP 40 ATK 50 DEF 45 SP ATK 65 SP DEF 35 SPEED 55
