Update

04/02/15: April Fools

No, there has not been a corporate takeover. No, I am not planning to move into the uninformative-list-articles-full-of-stock-photos market. I will be writing lengthy wordy mathy overenthusiastic rambling forever and you can't stop me.

The style I made for the joke, however, was actually pretty decent, especially since it's the first style to work properly on phones (because the last time I made a style was 2008 oh my god help). So that style now has a permanent home in the style switcher, as "Modern style", with a couple of edits: it now shows the style switcher, and the top banner is not ridiculously humongous. It is also now the default style for users who have not set a style, but if you don't like it, you can switch (the previous default style was Articuno).

Finally, I've added a section on this year's joke to the April Fools' joke archive, and I updated the style switcher page with information on the new style and updated style tags (because Internet Explorer 6 is not actually relevant anymore). If for some reason you preferred the style with the ludicrously huge top banner, the actual intact April Fools' Day version of the style is also there under Deprecated Styles.

I was so determined to not be fooled by anything yesterday. This was the only thing I was fooled by because I was so distraught by the idea of the site being sold to someone else. Points to TCoD for that.

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.

Norb: Dewgong hasn't been the default in years; as the update says, the previous default was Articuno. You can still use Dewgong if you want, though!
