I'm honestly amazed that it's still going, last time I was regularly active on here I was starting secondary (middle) school, now I'm in the final stretch of my chemistry degree.
I don't think I'll ever be as active on here as I was ever again, but I log in once every few months and I'm happy to see the site is still up. My respect goes out to HullBreach, the other staff and the members who stuck around.
I cringe a little at my old posts but I'm really happy this little piece of my early teens was preserved. I hope my old friends are doing well wherever they are in the world right now.

Browser-based pokemon battle simulator, you can custom create your own team and choose each pokemon's traits from their movesets down to their exact EVs and IVs. There is also an ELO rating system and different competitive tiers for each pokemon to make battles more fair
I've visited this page about 3 or 4 times this year just out of curiosity, the current state of things makes this place seem frozen in time, which brings me a big sense of nostalgia, maybe also regret for not getting as involved in the community as I could've been. It's strange being able to recognise some regulars' names here too, as I doubt anyone even remembers me!
I'm glad this place is still here though, it helps me to reflect on some great times that I had with my DSi, probably my first step into the mindset of "talking to strangers on the internet is actually okay".
I'll conclude by thanking HullBreach and all of the admins and staff who worked here over the years, this was a great site and I could even say that it changed who I am today.
I happened to be using my dsi browser today and saw this bookmarked in my favourites, and I felt sad because I was already aware of how inactive the site was becoming compared to when I joined like, what, 4 years ago or so? It's nice to see some old faces (or rather, names) on here though; to those who have stuck around this long, you have my utmost respect :)
Or you can pay €19 and actually help Mojang support people like the ones who ran the Humble Indie Bundle, where their money raised from customers buying their games go towards charities for terminal illnesses or less developed countries. -.-
I don't do a lot of single player anymore because I ran out of stuff to do (convert all my gunpowder to tnt, dig huge holes, etc) but I just go on PvP and mob arena servers now.
Well I started pokemon in 2007 when my dad gave pokemon diamond.
1.Piplup
2.Pingz (lol)
3.Believe it or not, LVL 100!
4.Traded her to all my other games up to pokemon soul silver. planning on trading her to Black 2, 5 years!
5. She was better than all my legendary pokemon, excluding events.(it was a female pokemon.)
I have a ton of event shinys and the red gyrados from SS/HG, but the only other shiny pokemon I encountered was the evolution of geodude. (forgot his name). I captured him with ease.
I would say Arceus because he can learn almost any TM move and can change his type with plates. He also learns a very powerful attack at a high up level.
