~Shadow of 2004~

It's finally over…the nightmare is finally over.

I deleted the secret Pikachu hangout. All remaining copies of it…off the web….

I don't care anymore….who get's upset……I no longer want to be the 'proud owner' of 'The secret Pikachu hangout!!!!'.

Dear TSPHl Goodbye forever…

Hm. Is your monitor brightness set way up or something? My Firefox by default has a pretty visible gray border around input fields.

I can explicitly make the border darker, I guess, but making the input fields non-white goes against all my general aesthetic sense of user interface design; form fields are almost always lighter than the background around them or white on a white background. Deviating from that makes it less obvious that they're form fields, not more. (So would changing the border, in browsers where that's not what input fields normally look like, but.)

I'm using Firefox, and I haven't done any serious format tinkering that I know of.

I can see it clearly now, but its still a white textbox against a white background. Yes, it has a faint blue border when you roll your mouse over it but…

Aaron: Huh? I'm not doing anything with the background color of the page or the form fields on the sprite generator; it's just using the default styles in your browser, and every sensible browser should by default have a border on the input fields; if it didn't, all input fields on any web page that doesn't explicitly override it would be invisible. What browser are you using and have you messed with its default stylesheet in some funny way?

Mohacastle: It's not almost identical, actually - it's way darker - but the reason they're described as "colored in some custom colors completely unlike their own" in the gallery is to contrast them to the "Light/Dark" category, where the color change is only lightening/darkening their actual colors. To make the black Rayquaza, I took a normal Rayquaza and colored it black because I was asked to make a black Rayquaza; the fact shiny Rayquaza are also black is entirely coincidental and irrelevant.

SilverLatios47: That picture isn't really good enough to be put anywhere in an 'official' capacity; it's drawn on square paper, part of her hand is obscured by the hole in the the paper, and it was given a five-minute hatchet Photoshop coloring job with no shading that only barely keeps within the lines. I'm okay showing it to people who just happen to ask me what Mia looks like (here it is), but I'd have to make something considerably more refined before I'd put it in the Morphic section as character art.

You've got a white textbox against a white background in your random Pokemon Sprite Generator.

Its really bad aesthetics IMO, and its pretty difficult to see until you highlight it. I think you should change the BG color to red, for convenience, or something like that.

Not hatin', just a suggestion.

On your sprites, you said you colored them all unlike their actual colors. Yet your Black Rayquaza is almost identical to Shiny Rayquaza.

I might not be doing something soo….acceptable for a guest book but I invite you all to my friend Pikakirby's forum and I figured a guestbook could be a good way to get new members. ^_^

Also I should check out some of the pages on this site for new updates sometime.

Oh and Butterfree it'd be cool if you made a UNOVA Pokemon quiz sometime. ^_^ Just sayin'. You dun have ta, though. But it could be a fun test choice. :) ^_^

That is all ^_^ Take care everybody ^_^

I AM JIRACHU!

CONGRATULATIONS, Dragonfree!!! You are truly one of the very very few and rare people that have stuck with this all these years and haven't given up, lost interest, or become inactive. I hope you'll have many more anniversaries in the future, too!!

Happy Birthday TCoD! (late, I know)

I remember you posting a link to an image you'd drawn of Mia here in the Guestbook, but I can't find it to save my life because of how long ago that was. Would you ever put that link somewhere permanent(somewhere near the Morphic section, or something?) and not hiding somewhere in all the guestbook posts?

Happy (belated sshhh) birthday, TCoD. :) The dedication and time you've put into this website is impressive, Butterfree, and I've no doubt you'll keep it up for many years to come.

And seconding the idea that it would be cool to post the last chapter of TQftL on its birthday next year, though I can certainly understand the potential for impatience!

Wow, has it been 10 years? I remember stumbling on this sight about 5 years ago.

Now I feel old.

Ten years? Wow…

I've been a visitor for about eight of those.

I remembered this site had a birthday around now since today's the US election and the day of the 2004 election just so happened to also be this site's birthday. I still remember the update you made.

Thanks for all the nostalgia. <3 It's so awesome that I can still visit this site like I did all those years ago, even though most of the Pokémon sites I visited around then seem to be gone now.

I may not be as big of a Pokémon fan as I used to be, but this site will always have a special place in my heart.

Heh, yes, it seems you and I are pretty much the opposite when it comes to editing and posting things. I said to myself, "Awesome, I finished this fanfic. All I have to do and edit and post it now, so it can't take long!" Four years later…
