catherpie: You can always contact me for help with the quiz scripts if you need it.

Spoon: I think public opinion has genuinely shifted, honestly. People prefer the games they grew up with; the older crowd that grew up on the first two generations is now all grown-up and has jobs and probably on average spends less time on the Internet, whereas those who are nostalgic for the third generation are today's bored teens that go around voting in polls on Pokémon websites.

Plus that's the general air I get from most discussions I see today - people are dying for R/S remakes, even as when HG/SS were confirmed people shook their heads and said "Next they'll be remaking R/S!" in tones of scorn.

Gosh the better quiz scripts option is hardly getting any votes! Can we contact you personally for help with quizzes if they're not done soon?

Huh, Gen 1 in last and Gen 3 in first. (Well, second-ish.) It looks like TCoD's userbase prefers the unpopular opinion.

I'm actually in the middle of a variation of the scramble challenge, in which people pick your team for you. In this version, instead of it being completely up to someone else, you make a list of your favorite Pokemon, six of each type, and someone picks out six types they want you to train. The order listed determines which Pokemon you get. For example, if you were given Fire, Water, Grass, Ghost, Dark, and Psychic, you use your favorite Fire-type, second favorite Water-type, and so on.

I had chosen beforehand to try this challenge in my Black version, and ended up having the incredible misfortune of not getting any Unova Pokemon. So I chose to trade my Oshawott for Totodile as soon as possible, and then gradually trade for the rest of my team over the course of the game.

ASP.NET is basically only supported on Windows servers running IIS, and when practically every host out there is sensibly using Apache on a Unix-based OS, yeah, it's very unlikely your host would be able to run my guestbook.

Whether you're using HTML has nothing to do with it; HTML is the client-side markup language and has nothing to do with what's going on on the server side. If your host supports any server-side scripting at all, it's probably PHP and maybe Python, Ruby, etc.

Hey, long time fan (I mean quite a few years now; since I was 13 or so and I'm 19 now), I always seem to come back to your site.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that your Webmaster section is beautiful. I was 15 when I used it to make my own site, which I loved to bits. My friend recently landed a job as a web designer with no experience in HTML, I pointed him to your website to get him started.

You're amazing and I love you. That is all. <3

Oh. I don't use Wix anymore, I'm actually using HTML. Are you sure? I can use a Sparklit one if you can't.

My guestbook is an ASP.NET script. I highly, highly doubt your host supports it.

[18/09/2012 21:09:11]

Actually got a Keldeo in spam check! FINALLY!

This is Mohacastle. I've been working on my site, can you help me with the script for a guestbook? I know they have them online, but I really don't like them; your's is easily the best. Do you think you could help me? Thanks!

I wasn't thinking of including the Bug-Catching Contest, but come to think of it, yeah, it would make sense to throw that in as well or make a separate page (I also always used to be really curious about the mechanics of the Bug-Catching Contest).

Yeah, I was thinking of when all your Pokémon faint so you don't even have any left on the PC, but wrote it up like the other way around. Fixed.

Would "Safari Zone" include the alternatives to the Safari Zone, for example the Bug Catching Contest? Because I'd really love to see a discussion of that, if there's anything interesting to discuss. Or, if it doesn't include that sort of thing at the moment, possibly another idea to table for later?

Usually only the two rules that Ruby started with (Catch only first Pokemon and If a Pokemon faints it dies) are necessary for a true Nuzlocke, according to Bulbapedia…

Actually the rule 2 of your Nuzlocke rules isn't an "offical" rule. On the Nuzlocke Forums many users rebuild after wiping but it still counts as a Nuzlocke.

Thank you! I love that section, and I'm glad to see it updated! (redundancy…)

I did! I'm about to rectify that.

Don't mean to nag, but you forgot the challenge I told you about XD
