Welcome to the Cave of Dragonflies guestbook.
I LIKE MAKING UP FAKE QUESTIONS. HOW DARE YOU INSULT THEM?
HEY YOU? YES YOU! YOU TOOK THE AWARDS AWAY! I WANT ONE!
How did you make that obsession box with a sprite?
I get Volcarona for my virthday! :D
Ugh. I got stuck with one of my least favorite Pokemon for my birthday - Darmanitan.
Maybe it'll be better for me when the sixth gen comes out?
Well, I had Electabuzz before, and now I have Lanturn. But in the Gen III Zodiac, I would have Poliwhirl (which was in the Reign of Kyogre as well). So it's the combination of the previous types and even the primary abilities (Volt Absorb is an absorption ability like Water Absorb and it's exclusive to the Electric type like Static).
The featured section being stuck on the R/B/Y capture algorithm is intentional; the method I'm using right now to make things work is a lot slower than how things worked before, and the featured section would add quite a bit of extra overhead to every pageload as it would require opening and reading a text file for every view. Since the featured section isn't in any way important, I just set it to my favorite page on the site at the moment until I can get everything working like before again.
If About Me and Magikarp: the Gathering are both broken, I'm guessing quite a few pages could be. Hm.
Here is what I found broken:
the random page link seems stuck on R/B/Y capture algorithim
The about me page
The Magikarp:the Gathering page is also broken. Might need to check all these pages.
Mewtini: Um, what are you talking about exactly? If you mean the pages linked in the Site History, the only one of them that is a recreation is the very first one, of the site as it was before it ever went online. The others are all archived versions of what the site actually looked like.
Squornshellous Beta: …huh. I really didn't think that page was using the codebehind files. Hmm. I'm at uni right now, but I'll take a look at it later.
That link was supposed to be for Arkeis.com, sorry.
The thing is the B/W animations aren't frames. Whereas for the fourth-generation games they drew two frames for each Pokémon and then just flipped between them to give a crude illusion of movement, Black and White take a completely different approach. They do store static "base" sprites, which are what has been ripped and is in most places on the Internet, but the sprites you see moving in battle are actually composed of individually moving body parts, each of which may have multiple poses drawn or simply be rotated or distorted, depending on what works for the movement they want the Pokémon to make. Thus, there is no individually drawn "second frame" or "third frame" for the whole Pokémon. Any individual frame of the animation, barring the base frame, is probably just not going to look very good if it's static, because at any point several body parts are probably in a distorted, pixelated state - they didn't draw an extra frame separately to look pretty on its own.
Arkeis does have full B/W animations, however, if you're interested. (Those are not ripped, but rather screen-captured individually from a ROM - ripping them would require wholly replicating the game's animation algorithms.)
OMG just saw my new zodiak pokemon it is the cutist thing ever I almost cried can't spell its name though
Hey look! The 'About Me' page is completely nonfunctional!
How did I not ever see this…anyway…I saw the older site. Butterfree, was that site with the cursor trail a recreation?
I had Porygon2 before, but now I have Darkrai Day! Day of Darkrai in Reign of Darkrai. I liked Porygon2 better.
I may be being stupid, but I'll ask anyway. :( For Black and White, did you upload the first frames only? I can't find anyone on the Internet who has ripped all Black/White animation frames, which makes me sad.
And if you haven't uploaded them, are you considering doing it in the future?
Oh, whoops. Fixed! Thanks.
Did you notice that the splash page isn't working? If you already did and I didn't see so, my bad.
The splash seems broken.
