I've put up another little Morphic extra, another set of three hurt/comfort-themed prompt bingo fills. As the theming suggests, they're all very angsty.| The Cave of Dragonflies
I've made a couple of adjustments/fixes to the various capture calculators: Previously, there was a bug which meant if you had the "Show all" option selected in the ball field, then setting your Pokémon would populate the "Pokémon's form" dropdown with the forms of that Pokémon instead of the forms of the Pokémon you're trying to catch, which would in turn cause problems if the Pokémon you were actually trying to catch didn't have a matching form, locking up the calculator. This should n...| The Cave of Dragonflies
The Mew trick essay got its 21st comment a couple of days ago (from TheScythe!), and this ended up prompting me to make a number of updates to the commenting feature and thus the guestbook and update comments as well: I've fixed a bug where the previously unseen second page link for page comments would actually go to the second page of the guestbook, not the second page of comments on this page. It should now navigate as you'd expect. Page comments are now shown in reverse chronological order...| The Cave of Dragonflies
Hope you all enjoyed this year's April Fools' Day joke! I have now added a writeup to the joke archive and reset the changes back to normal – but the actual content remains online for archival purposes, because why not; you can still access it all here. All in all, I added more than a novel's worth of text to the site for this joke – all legitimate content originally written for my personal Tumblr or my Breaking Bad commentary blog. So if you enjoyed it, follow me there for more like it, ...| The Cave of Dragonflies
Welcome to the new, expanded Cave of Dragonflies! I've been thinking lately about how, well, Pokémon is still one of my passions, but so are many other things, and when I spend a lot of time making stuff that's not about Pokémon, the website languishes a bit in the meantime. So really, the sensible thing to do here is to expand the website to cover all the other stuff I make! So, The Cave of Dragonflies is now officially a Pokémon/The Good, the Bad and the Ugly/Breaking Bad/Groundhog Day/J...| The Cave of Dragonflies
Hello, all! I have finally, finally finished what I've been doing for the past few months, namely writing up a new incredibly lengthy essay on the Mew trick. It essentially expands massively upon the old, slightly aimless thought on the Mew trick that I've had on the site since 2005, borrowing material from some Tumblr posts I made last year but also fleshing it all out further into a deep dive into the glitch's context, history, origins and mechanics. Plus a load of footnotes! And screenshot...| The Cave of Dragonflies
Happy new year! 2025 sure seemed like a faraway, distant future when I started this website, but here we are, still kicking in the final year of the first quarter of the twenty-first century. On New Year's Day, I like to look back and reflect on the year and the people I'm grateful for, so here's a non-exhaustive list of some of the people I'd like to thank for 2024: All of my greatly valued internet friends, for the many conversations we've had and laughs we've shared Jackie, Chibi, elyvorg ...| The Cave of Dragonflies
A fairly minor update today. The other day I made the site an account on Bluesky; this has now been added to the link menu under Support/Follow along with the other socials. It will report on updates to the site specifically, the same way as the Twitter account. The other thing of note is that I combed back through my e-mail to go through some error reports that'd slipped through the cracks. Updates include: Somehow, my D/P Changes page from 2007 did not actually contain anything about gender...| The Cave of Dragonflies
It's been yet another year! Twenty twenty-five draws near. Happy birthday, dear website! I bring comments, so cheer. The Cave of Dragonflies is twenty-two years old today. It's been an interesting year for the site - fewer updates than I would have liked, but I'm very fond of all the things I have put up this year. I've had a lot going on, but I'm still hoping to get more site updates in before the end of the year. For this anniversary, I've added the ability to post comments at the bottom of...| The Cave of Dragonflies
I mentioned last time that I wanted to port over some Pokémon-related articles from my personal Tumblr. The first of these is now up, and accidentally became quite a bit more than just a port of my Tumblr post: an essay about my glitched Jolteon. It is part reminiscence and part game mechanics deep-dive about the very special Jolteon that I had on my Yellow version back in the day and my efforts to replicate and investigate his mysterious harmlessly glitchy properties. I hope you all enjoy. ...| The Cave of Dragonflies
So there was this one more little thing I wanted to do for the R/S/E roulette article: when simulating multiple possible fuzz values, I wanted a ball that bounced off an existing slot to split into two balls that would fall to each side. I could imagine what it was supposed to look like, and it'd be neat, and I wanted to do it. The problem was just that with my weird hodgepodge code for a simple fuzz range calculator with the whole animation thing awkwardly bolted on afterwards, this was basi...| The Cave of Dragonflies
So when I put up the R/S/E roulette article, I had to slightly rush it to make it by April 1st - there were some things I wanted to get into better but just didn't quite have a chance to finish if I wanted to get it up in time. I figured I could get into those things afterwards and then put up these minor enhancements to the simulator when I got the chance. This somehow turned into a whole new rabbit hole about the roulette. One of the things I didn't have time to get into was exactly emulati...| The Cave of Dragonflies
Hope you all enjoyed this year's little gag. While the style and casino rebranding were obviously a joke, the roulette mechanics were very much not! R/S/E roulette really does involve Taillow and Shroomish cheating for you if you have them in your party and an elaborate chaotic decision tree determining that rolls are more consistent if you have Taillow and Shroomish with you and play in the morning. I have been dying to show you all this madness for over a year now of intermittently working ...| The Cave of Dragonflies
Welcome to THE CASINO OF DRAGONFLIES. After a couple of years of growing pathological obsession with the game of roulette, and the many e-mails I have received with offers to make me rich if only I would add links to the top casino games to my Pokémon website, I have finally faced the depths of my addiction and embraced the site's destiny.

I've put up another new Morphic AU extra that's been a long time coming, Groundhog Dave, featuring Dave in a time loop on the day of chapter 13 of the fic. Please mind the content warnings on this one, since it's heavier than usual; it includes strong and demeaning language, gun violence, character death, suicide and suicidal ideation, and existential horror. It also spoils the ending of Morphic, and will probably not make too much sense without having read the main fic.| The Cave of Dragonflies
Another year comes to an end! I hope, despite everything, you've had a decent 2023 and your 2024 will be better. This year I would like to extend some thanks to... ...all of my lovely friends, who make me happy by existing, especially those I got to hang out with, have voice or video chats or in-depth conversations, or roleplay with this year including Jackie, Chibi, elyvorg, Psychic and Teagan, Negrek, seatherny, Murkrow and opaltiger ...Altissimo, for working on an amazing and necessary Pok...| The Cave of Dragonflies
The Scarlet and Violet Subtle Shinies page has been updated with more difficult-to-identify shinies in the new Blueberry Pokédex (plus Finneon/Lumineon, brought to you by me genuinely nearly overlooking the shiny one I caught yesterday when I thought it was just the sunset lighting). I also decided to add some headings to make it easier to find just the ones added in a certain DLC. Some of yesterday's updates also didn't actually get pushed to the live site; they're there now, whoops. The ca...| The Cave of Dragonflies
I have now finished playing through the main story of the Indigo Disk DLC, so I've made the basic Indigo Disk updates: the Favorite Pokémon Picker, list generator, Gen IX Capture Calculator, Number Game, Hangman, evolution list, stat stages and status ailments should all now be up-to-date according to the DLC content. Subtle shinies should be coming tomorrow or in the next few days.| The Cave of Dragonflies
Another kind of random little update: I happened to look at the Site History page and realize it was pretty out of date, so I went and updated it with some newer notable events, hit milestones, and a bit more about the evolution of the styles since 2005. Additionally, I've fixed some more small encounter errors in the Gen II Locations, again with thanks to Altissimo, and added a couple of subtle shinies.| The Cave of Dragonflies
Something of a random little update today. First, with thanks to Altissimo, I've corrected a couple of things in the Gen II Locations (Crystal's Route 3 encounters had Raticate instead of Sandshrew) and Gen IV Locations (a previously unknown encounter set was actually the list for Mt. Moon Square during the Monday Clefairy event) - remember I appreciate all bug reports. Second, I got an e-mail from a fan of the Number Game who suggested a mode where you can use it like flashcards, where inste...| The Cave of Dragonflies
