The Icelandic news has followed the adventures of Iceland the supermarket chain trying to trademark the name of our country, yeah. It's all a bit absurd.

Have you heard about a supermarket chain that keeps trying to trademark the word "Iceland"? They trademarked it temporarily in 2016, before it got removed. But the supermarket chain are still trying to get the trademark back?

Does this story make the news in Iceland regularly?

One of the few English names of Gen 4 Pokemon I dislike is Gible - it's more logical to spell it Gibble, as in nibble. I keep instinctually wanting to pronounce Gible with a long I sound.

They aren't - however, failed critical captures are no longer animated to be distinguishable from a failed non-critical capture. The capture mechanics page explains this.

this website reminds me of what the internet used to feel like. This is the website equivalent of walking into a warmly lit front room with a roaring fire after trudging through miles of arctic snow in jeans and new balance runners. Thanks

Glad you enjoyed!

Bots these days can easily solve math problems, unfortunately. Naming that Pokémon has the advantage of being very specialized and thus unlikely to be solved by mass spambots, while also being generally fairly solvable by the website's actual target audience but not bot farming.

I might one day swap it out for a general third-party solution like reCAPTCHA, if the custom-built verification stops being effective, but in the meantime, you can click the "Don't know it" link until you get a Pokémon you recognize.

Really nice blog post. I can see why many people are into Pokémon as, at least to my knowledge, there doesn't seem to be a better fantasy animal collection game. I personally don't think that the games are childish at least, however I do sort of think the anime / films are more childish than any other of the media that is associated with the Pokémon brand. It's really nice to hear your opinion about this.

Keep up the good work.

P.s. Could you change the Pokemon captcha out for something else? Maybe a maths question? I am bloody terrible at naming these Pokémon, haha!

Worth noting that, for HP EVs, Tuber Jared shares a screen with Tuber Chelsea with a single Azumarill (3 HP EVs). She had a Bibarel in D/P.

This was like my favorite ever sprite guide more than 10 (15 even?) years ago and I would read it over and over. Love that it's still up and super well written!

Congrats on your site becoming old 22!

I clicked the (don't know it) button quite a few times to try and find a shiny. No I didn't find one.

I just remembered this site earlier today and came to play Pokemon Hangman – one refresh later and, by coincidence, it's the birthday! Hard to believe the Internet has even been around this long. Incredible work on here. Happy birthday!
