You know, I would say "is this actually just 2001 again" except for the part where the actual organization/style of the website… hasn't changed at all. It still looks kinda web 1.0-y even if the styles themselves are a lot nicer than… whatever the hell this is lol. Not trying to be a critical asshole, I mean it works for what it is, I just thought it was something interesting to point out.

(If you really want a modern-looking website, bring back TCOD Solutions)

I finally get to see an April Fools joke on this site I AM SO EXCITED.
The site would look better if it were in Icelandic though…

It's alright, but… I miss my Dialga style. Is it your intention to not let visitors pick anymore? I can't even see the drop-down menu on my screen, and when I click the style I want on the actual page, nothing happens.

I like it, especially the cursor.

I do appreciate the MS Paint airbrush cursor trail, though.

Finally, a style that brings TCoD fully into the modern age! The sleek graphics and expertly-chosen fonts really give this site an air of professionalism, with just that hint of nostalgia needed to tie things all together.

Unfortunately the glittery Butterfree cursor crashed my Windows 10 laptop and deleted my system32, but such is the price we pay for high-quality website design. Kudos to you, Butterfree!

This new style is pretty good as is, but it just feels incomplete without a MIDI version of the season 1 opening theme.

I can't seem to change the style, even when I go to the style switcher page. This isn't an April Fools prank, is it?

That's just how it worked in R/B/Y - the AI doesn't work by quite the same principles as the player. Instead of deciding what it's going to do and then resolving the turn in accordance with that, the AI doesn't decide if it's going to switch or use an item until its turn, so in R/B/Y those actions don't actually have priority when taken by the AI.

That doesn't explain the part where Blaine's Super Potion got used after the player attacks, though - do you know what's up with that part of it?

Okay, guess it wasn't a video, but it was in a compilation of glitches Crystal_ posted. The culprit is just bad programming of Blaine's special AI, which has him use Super Potions without the usual check for whether the Pokémon's HP is below a certain fraction. See here

Crystal_ investigated the Struggle glitch here! I swear I've also seen a Crystal_ video on the AI using healing items at full health thing, but I can't seem to find it right now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeWxEbl2kWQ 8:50 and 14:58 - any idea what happens in these instances?

(This is regarding the post about no animated sprites)

Hey Butterfree, I found this: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ which is used for an online battle simulator, so it has all or almost all sprites even from past generations. They include the x+y animated, animated shiny, animated back, and animated back shiny. I have not found any missing pictures.

I completely understand that. It also bugs me that they haven't been properly ripped. If I ever come across a decent batch I'll definitely let you know :)

Thanks for your diligent work!
