I've made some smaller updates, some already pushed to the site at some point since the anniversary update:

• The Pokémon Hangman, a game of great sentimental value to me ever since my dad helped me make it as my first introduction to JavaScript back in 2002, was always kind of randomly a standalone static page, which meant it arbitrarily stuck out, did not adapt to your chosen style, and also really didn't work great on phones, where you had to zoom in awkwardly to even read the instructions and the letters you had to press to play were way too small. I was reminded of this in the process of putting together the anniversary update, and now I've finally just brought it into the site layout properly as well as updating it a bit so that the clickable areas for each letter are much bigger, making it play better on a touch screen. I kept the old charging-Pikachu images, and because those were designed for a white background and I no longer have the original files, I ended up putting the game itself into a little white rounded box. Unfortunately this means it doesn't quite adapt to your style in the ideal sort of way, but I hope you'll agree it's a definite improvement.
• Meanwhile, the Number Game has also been updated, this time with some user suggestions: in addition to being a bit more permissive with Pokémon whose names contain special characters, it now shows the number of the Pokémon you guessed if you get it wrong (assuming what you typed is a real Pokémon) – and there is now an additional game mode where it will show you a random Pokémon from the range and you guess its number. Alongside this, I made some tweaks to the look and functionality of the game that streamline it a bit and make it easier to use – the guess input and the buttons you click to proceed are now on the 'card' directly and shown contextually, rather than having two different buttons you need to alternate between, and the settings are placed below and you don't need to click anything to start with the default settings.
• I added a bit more information, in particular on Pokémon Legends: Arceus and on where you can find Espeon and Umbreon in the wild, to the Espeon and Umbreon page.
• I updated the Fake Cheats section with a bit more of a preamble, since it's now being a bit more prominently linked and all, and today not everyone will have the context to understand what's being referenced anymore.

There'll probably be more little updates of a similar scale upcoming soon before I get to the next more major additions, since as I mentioned, the anniversary update did a lot of making me want to tweak things. As usual, let me know if you bump into any issues.
