Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
Don't worry, you were very civil and not at all offensive!
Unfortunately it's a bit hard for me to answer questions about a game that I played literally more than a decade ago; I simply don't remember exactly why I made individual choices about moves or exactly how I felt about specific individual dungeons in 2008.
I can tell you I pretty much only played through the main story - I don't think I ever did the level-reset dungeons. I also know I was not a fan of the belly system, since it adds another RNG element to whether you can make it through the dungeon.
Thanks for your thoughts!
As for whether to be specific in your guide: it's going to depend a bit on what your guide is about - if the exact stats of these Pokémon aren't particularly relevant to the purpose of your guide, it's fine to leave them out, especially if you also link to resources with exact numbers. The main point of the advice to be specific is that if you're vague about the subject of what you're talking about, it makes it less useful; if it's not a guide on stats, then you don't necessarily need to be specific about stats. I'm not 100% sure what the guide you're describing is about but it doesn't sound like the point of it is to be about what these Pokémon's stats are, so it should be fine to talk about that in more general terms.

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.
