In the Gen 6/7 Capture Mechanics page under the section O-Power gives is mispelled as gies or am I wrrong and gies is a real word?

Unamed: Good point, actually; I didn't want to create one until I had some actual content for it, but since the Gen VI capture mechanics page was updated to cover Gen VII too, that's worth having under Alola as well.

Jirachu: It's very cute!

Jirachu

Thanks Butterfree :) By the way, what did you think of my korrina fan page?

Unamed

Can you make a section for the Alola region?

Inane is also a word!

Henry

Yes it's me again
Under the page "Page Pitfalls" section "Torturing Your Visitors" or something near the end of that section "insane" seems to be mispelled as "inane"

Yeah, there will be reviews for the newer films! I've been slowly making my way through my old reviews updating them and adding screenshots (I'm on the tenth one now) and when I'm done with that I'll continue with the subsequent ones.

BTW, i did not mean that my site would/should be judged for being about a same sex crush. I wasn't saying anything of that nature at all, if anyone is confused (i have nothing against malexmale/femalexfemale relationships real or fictional). I know people more likely would judge me for…other things relating to my crush on korrina o_O;;; I had to point that out as it has happened before. Though I have wondered if those people were just homophobes covering it up with 'other' reasons to attack me…

Hi Butterfree. I've been sensitive to drama and avoiding pretty much all forums lately. I do however enjoy going on this site still :3 Will there be reviews for newer pokemon films sometime? It pretty much is only up to the sinnoh ones right now…So far I only read the deoxys summery but I plan on reading the others too. Once again, this site is awesome. Also, I might as well include a link to my page in this post since I avoid forums now. People can have fun looking at it. And, yes, I am a Korrina fangirl people. I personally don't see the harm in liking a fictional character so no one should feel they need to judge me for my site o.o Plus i'll be sure to keep the updates kid friendly enough. Some stuff I may add to the site as I update could end up being very interesting too! XD Like stuff relating to my overall memories as a pokemon fan. I may add stuff about 2017 and early 2018 too. As long as I can just stick to the happier stuff and not all the dramatic stuff that made me more forum avoidant ^_^;;; Maybe i'll mostly just talk about 2017…(nothing too seriously dramatic happened that year and it was a happy year that i just enjoyed starting my crush on korrina in :3)

Just discovered this site and it's so neat! I recently got into stuff like spriting and romhacking and discovered the resources on this page then clicked around it a bit (a lot), and I love it so much!

Henry

welp I googled it and I am wrong
apparently I have been capitalizing my titles wrong for a long time

Butterfree

It seems to depend on the style guide whether "with" is capitalized in title case, but my impression is most would count it as a short preposition and thus not capitalized, the same way as "for", "by", etc.

Henry

ok thanks
also small captalization mistake–
the "with"on the link on the site page for affiliating should be capitalized as "With", right?
or does it not count?

Good question!

Basically, first I counted up how many times each letter of the alphabet appears across all Pokémon names and assigned each letter a score from 1-9 based on that, with a higher score for rarer letters.

To calculate the score for a given Pokémon name, I first add together the scores for each unique letter in the name - that is, for something like "Rattata", I just add the scores for R, A and T together, even though A and T each appear three times. (The reason for this is that every instance of each letter is revealed when you guess it - having several A's and T's doesn't actually make Rattata harder to guess.) Then I divide the result by the length of the name, multiply it by 100, 200 or 300 depending on the difficulty setting, and then round to get the final score. The reason for dividing by the length of the name is that the more letters the name has, the easier it generally is to guess - if all the letters are unique, this'll simply cancel out with the fact we added all the unique letter scores together, while if it has many repeated letters, guessing one of them will reveal more about the name than otherwise, so it makes sense that that lowers the score.

It's not a highly scientific system or anything - it's just something I came up with as a kid when I was putting this version of the game together - but I think the scores end up matching up reasonably with the actual difficulty of guessing the Pokémon. Rattata gives the fewest points (all three letters in the name are very common, and indeed, I always get Rattata right very quickly) and Jynx gives the most (you have to guess four letters, three of which are pretty uncommon; if you start by guessing common letters, you might get the N, but you'll lose before you get to any of the other ones).

Henry

Just wondering how does the points work in Pokemon Hangman?

I'm a huge fan of your Pokemon Picker! I really love the way it works.

With relatively few beta pokémon, I think it'd be nice to have the option to have them mixed in with the normal ones. But however you do it, I'm looking forward to it. I just can't bring myself to not consider them pokémon, or not consider them canon. I see them like official pokémon, but just unacknowledged like Missingno and the like. And of course Missingno isn't supposed to be seen, but it's encountered as a pokémon, so I see it as just a very volatile, strange one.

When I'm done with the generic picker, I'll make one for the beta Pokémon!

Will the demo gs pokemon be put into your pokemon picker? (Like as spoiler pokemon or something) I think Kotora is one of my favorite pokemon now.
