You make a good point about the purpose of a synopsis. And I understand wanting to revise - I'm always updating my own writing.

In any case, it's the Good and Bad sections that are my favorite part, and hey, I shouldn't really be complaining about someone else's projects. Thanks for posting reviews!

Shadow: Well, if you don't think there's a lot of reason for you to read the synopsis, you can skip it! That's kind of the point - to not make people who remember the movie just fine have to read a synopsis of the whole thing in order to see a significant part of the commentary. As far as I'm concerned, making the synopsis more skippable (for people who aren't interested in the actual synopsis part) is a good thing.

I don't think I removed anything terribly interesting, anyway - the synopsis does still contain extensive interpretations of why Mewtwo does what he does throughout the film, and what I did take out completely was mostly stuff I now think was kind of inane or irrelevant. (Some was just moved into the more extensive good/bad sections, which is a better place to go into stuff like why the crying scene doesn't work.)

But I get it; I've been unhappy when people change things I liked just fine before. There's always archive.org if you want to read writing that I find too embarrassing.

Aww, I liked the synopsis with all of the comments within it. I've seen the movie a million times, so I don't have a lot of reason to read the synopsis unless it also has opinions; it was fun to read your opinions on details that weren't quite big enough to make it into the Good and Bad sections.

Always love to see updates to crazy game mechanics articles. Eagerly anticipating an article covering non-Gen I Safari Zone mechanics.

It doesn't change the layout at all, but I do have a couple of conditionals inserting some chunk of HTML only in certain styles. Modern style adds a viewport meta tag because it's a responsive layout and the others aren't, Articuno has an added bit of credit in the footer for brushes used in the style, Modern again has little Pokémon party icons next to the Zodiac date in the header (I could have just put them there and then hidden them with CSS in all except Modern, but this was quicker than having to edit all the other styles), and a few styles add some scripts to the page (the drop-down styles have one for compatibility with old browsers, and Modern has a tiny one to fix a CSS issue that would otherwise be weird).

This is a bit of a silly question, though I need to ask it, as I'm making something similar; Does your style switcher change the HTML layout at all?

As of now the pokémon list generator run with the special character stripper outputs "flabébé" as "flabb," where I think the expected behavior would be to output "flabebe"…

I remember your name. Can't say I remember anything specific you said or did, though, heh.

Been a long time since I was last here. I'm not really sure if I should try to get back into the community or not. I just wanted to stop by and say hi, see how things are going.

Thanks once again for taking the time to work on this. Kinda a weird case where you don't expect people to be using the Picker daily or anything like that but at the same time when they do use it they will get the best experience out of it thanks to you. It is a site feature that is only useful when you need it but when you need it then you really need it and to my knowledge only your site have anything like this (that is well made anyway). I hope you will keep on working on it but at the same time I realistically can't possibly see what more you could add to it at this point. I really just wanted to show my thanks to you as it is the very least I can do seeing how you spent so much of your free time to give it amazing updates without expecting anything in return.

I couldn't help but notice that the images in the Zodiac do not appear to be working? I clicked on it on a whim, as I'd forgotten what mine was in this newest update to it, and I tried several dates after mine just to make sure, and checked on both Firefox and Chrome. There's no imagery showing up for it.

It's a rather minor issue, but I just wanted to chip in my two cents.

That is fine then. I thought it wouldn't be possible but it never hurt to ask right?

Unfortunately that would be a bit of a bother because right now the picker sends no data to the server at any point; it all happens in your browser and I have no idea what goes on in your session. In addition to the actual statistical work I'd have to start actually collecting data and storing it somewhere.

Thanks for adding this. I know I been waiting for a while for something like this but it is quite a surprise to see you went all out and let the user choose the size. I was only expecting you to give an option to chop it down to ~6 per matchup. By being less overwhelming now you may can also expect more people using it.

Not really a feature but any chance of adding a statistic page without causing too much problem on your end? I am kinda wondering what is the world favorite Pokemon and possibly most hated Pokemon. Of course I doubt most people would even look at it but for the few who are interested it could be neat. While some people may just spam click the first Pokemon I'm sure the odds of all misleading results will rarely be the same enough to effect anything. No pressure of course as I finally got the update I been waiting for personally but just tossing an idea out there in case you get bored and wish to add something to it one day.

I also like this website a lot, it looks very good.

This is probably one of my favorite websites of all time. I love the style of it, and there's a lot of content to it, too. There always seems to be something new I haven't seen here yet. I've been browsing here on and off since about 2012 when I first did the Pokemon personality test. I also read Morphic then, and that was the first fanfic I've read, and the best I've read so far.
So, figured I'd sign this for the first time. Even though I'm well into high school, Pokemon will forever be in my heart, and so will this website.

Haha, holy toledo, I thought I'd gone to the wrong website for a minute. New layout looks great; nice to see something responsive here at long last!

Also, thank you for the FR/LG VS Seeker page. I'm sure I used it back in the day but I was running a Nuzlocke a few months ago and that page helped make grinding in Kanto suck less.
