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.

I find it funny that, originally, almost all of these buttons represented an actual style you could use on the site. Most of those styles are long gone now (Cave Style, Dark Blue Style, Arcanine Style, etc.). To newer visitors, the Pokémon choices must seem so random.
i read this back in - oh god middle school. i'm an adult with a car payment. anyway!
while curse is not a creepypasta story, it always stuck with me in the delightfully haunting way the really good ones did. i've been playing a new firered horror romhack based on old creepypastas and rumors (you might know the one) and it's reignited my love of these stories, so i had to come back and find this one after all these years. thank you for your work maintaining the website and also for writing one of my favorite pokemon stories!
I found my old pokewalker and I've been getting my butt handed to me in battles so I looked up a guide, and just saw this was made recently?? Thank you for the guide, you've saved my pokewalker life, pika!
This was an absolute nostalgia blast!! It's lovely to revisit these characters after so many years. I first read "The fall of a Leader" when I was much younger, and it's been like, 13 years since then? Absolutely crazy. I still love these characters and I'm glad you do too. I also love that Nightmare gets a lot of screentime in this one after spending a decent chunk of time off screen in SS/TFOAL. I always liked her, but (for many personal and LGBTQ reasons) I relate to her a lot more in the present day compared to when I first read those stories.
"Passíusálmur nr. 51" by Steinn Steinarr, one of my favorite poems. Loosely translated, it goes:
On the Valhús hill
they're crucifying a man.
And people buy a ride
on the city buses
to look at him.
It's sunny and warm
and the sea is smooth and blue.
It's a handsome man
with a prominent forehead
and dark blond hair.
And a girl with sea-green eyes
says to me:
Don't you think the man is bored
being crucified?
Obviously, the inspiration is mostly from the last few lines, of the little girl with green eyes looking at the crucified man and observing that that he's probably bored up there, without quite comprehending the torture or the cruelty of it.
I really need to do a full playthrough of this so that I can properly determine what my OC's opinions on all the routes would be.
Out of curiosity, what is the poem that this fic was based on?
Potentially. Could you talk me through your use case a bit better so I can understand what would actually be needed? As in, is this a matter of you playing ROM hacks that change catch rates for individual Pokémon, fangames with fakemon, the FR/LG Safari Zone, something else?
Hey, I use this calculator a lot for my hardcore nuzlockes and I'm wondering if there could be an 'advanced mode' or something that allows the raw input of custom catch rates.
going to test this later when i have the time, thank you so much for your help ^^
The unmodified vote script can't do that as it stands, no. Try saving this page instead, though, and then it should work if you write all the values each answer applies to separated by commas in the value attribute of the radio input.
Honestly maybe I should just make that the default vote quiz script, since it still works with a single value per option and just makes it more flexible…
Thank you! I think the main thing I'd need to know is if with the vote quiz I can assign multiple results to an answer: for example having the results dandelion, sun, and buttercup all assigned to the answer yellow on a "What's your favourite color" question
Ooh, interesting! Feel free to contact me if you'd like any help with that - it sounds like what you want would be a bit different from these quiz types (correct me if I'm wrong), so you'd probably need to adjust the script a bit, but it should be possible. I read the first arc of Warriors recently and have some friends who love the series and would probably enjoy your quiz too, so I'd love to help it get made.
for a while ive had the idea for a warrior cats name quiz. a really impractical one. im talking hundreds of results. i actually started work on categorizing results recently (linked above. not complete) but couldnt actually make anything real with it because i didnt know how to code it. anyways thank you for solving that problem i will now use this new knowledge to fuel my hubris and make a very bad quiz that will almost definetly have skewed results
wow i somehow was interested like 70% of the time
Yo! Thanks for the calculator!
hewwo! i use your favorite pokemon picker a lot and it's a really helpful tool! i was wondering if it would be okay to request a toggle for "only unevolved pokemon", like the currently present one for only fully evolved pokemon? i sometimes use the picker to help decide on a starter pokemon and this would make that easier to do. thank you very much in advance!!
Glad it stuck with you!
Pre-elite four, yes. Post-game when you get Timer Balls you can get it up to 9.265% with sleep or 7.095% with paralysis.
Being transparent, I’m a 20 something college student, but istg I remember stumbling upon this website around 2009 and being amazed by it even if I couldn’t properly read yet
Been staying up doing Pokemon quizzes to relieve my ASD/ADHD zoomies at 3AM, only to stumble upon a literal treasure trove
Never personally knew you, and probably never connected, but it’s awesome to see such a passion project going strong!
