hi butterfree!! congrats on 20 years and counting. might seem random, but just wanted to say how much your HTML guide is helping me right now. i'm a newly unemployed tech support worker looking to transition into web design/dev. i've got the basics under my belt, but your guide is serving as an excellent review of the basics that i have to admit i desperately needed. i hope you know how many people you've helped and how many lives you've changed over the years

Congrats on 20 years, and outlasting so many social media sites! And most businesses!

Your work on this site and the forums shaped me as a person, thank you.

Here's to more of tea, cod and Pokémon ♥️

Just stumbled upon this website when I was searching for a quiz which would confirm what my favourite Pokémon was. I was expecting to fall into the pits of a BuzzFeed quiz so imagine my delight when I ended up here instead ! This site takes me back to the good old internet of the early 2000s and I LOVE it. Thank you for the nostalgia trip and here's to another twenty years!

I'm glad you keep the site up and running to this day; I'm pretty sure your dedication to this site is why I've been so into Pokemon my whole life!

So, thank you!!

The updated styles are lovely but I'm glad you haven't removed the old ones. I'm using 8pt single-spaced Torkoal lava style until the site shuts down or until I need glasses.

I have been coming here since 2005, and I know my Pokémon skills have become rusty when I couldn't name three of them in a row to clear the check.

Nevertheless, a Happy Belated Birthday to TCoD. Most websites have succumbed to the temptation to use cookie-clutter templates, but I am happy my favourites, TCoD, Serebii and Dogasu's Backpack, have not.

Here's a virtual cake to the cave! 🍰

Happy twentieth, TCoD! It's always comforting to know that at least one of the websites that was so near and dear to my little kid heart is still trucking. Hope the next twenty are just as fun!

Eyyy, happy birthday to TCoD! It's wild to think that it's been twenty years, although I haven't been around for all of it. When you mentioned you were working on a nostalgic update, I wondered if it might have something to do with styling… very appropriate! And it must have been a load of work, too. Props on putting all of this together.

It's been a lot of fun flipping through styles I remember from long ago. Hellfire is so very not a modern style, lol, I love it. Torkoal is perhaps a dark horse fave of mine; very pleasing color palette, I think–very calm.

Thanks for all the memories and best of luck on twenty more years! I can't wait to see what's coming in the future. PLA catch mechanics sounds intriguing; I'm curious how those end up being different than mainline in practice!

Beautifull colors. Beautiful website

The capture mechanics pages and calculator have been super helpful and informative for my ingame runs. Truly appreciate the research you've done. Any chance you'll add the Safari Zone and its rock and bait capture modifiers to it?

Wow. I hadn't read that fic since it was first posted and forgot how it ended. The ending was so… chilling.

The fic was really great, though! I liked it a lot.

Bro, Undertale has had a huge update right now, a really cool (& HILARIOUS) 2000s themed minisite with lots of (not-very-)hidden links to new content… but every gen Zer is calling the infodrop an ARG 😭😭😭 Even though the site has a little hint page that stresses it's not an ARG 😭😭 ITS NOT AN ARG YOU KIDS ITS SECRET LINKS YOU WOULD ALL KNOW IF YOU WERE STILL GOING TO THE COOL WEBSITE "THE "CAVE OF DRAGONFLIE'S""!!!!!!!!!!!!
also like it hits like a truck that.. there used to be one million of these but I cant even think of any other examples.. I didnt even realise a generation had never seen it before since everything is now hosted on rigid socmed or a professional portfolio/business site… remember how it even used to say here (I think) that you wanted a secret link hunt cuz everyone had one? Sigh…

…. Also ive found a bunch of ppl clutching their hearts at the reveal of a character's LJ blog, complete with all the right ascii emotes X) & they are wishing direly they could have this in their lives. I HAVE 30 YEAR OLD FRIENDS THAT STILL TALK LIKE THIS (stares at hands) DID WE LOOP PAST "EMBARRASSINGLY OUTDATED" & HAVE SINCE PLUNGED DEEP INTO "MYTHICAL ANCIENTS" (CRYING)
