April Fools [permalink]
Posted by Jigglypuff on 1 Apr 2008 at 7:45pm PDT
I hope you all enjoyed your April Fools day. I know we all did. Don't worry, the site isn't closing. No, we didn't interview anyone. And the forums are, in fact, not going haywire. Here's a recap of what we did: 1) All over the site and the forums, we added a picture. Either you got a Seaking breaking through the top of the page (YEAH SEAKING!) or a little dancing Psyduck/Slowpoke, which we've dubbed Psypoke. 2) The forums were all messed up. Forums were in the wrong order. Some weren't listed at all, some showed up more than once. Oh, and even though it said "General Discussion," it would take you to "Role Playing." And every time you reloaded the index page, it re-randomized it all. Double the mixup. 3) We posted our EXCLUSIVE interview with a member of the staff developing the next game. If you'll notice, when you read down the list of questions and answers, they spell out "Happy April Fools All." In addition, the name of the person interviewed was completely faked - a cookie for you if you know where I got it from. 4) Following that, I posted a notice that the site had been ordered to be shut down. After 15 seconds, you found yourself back at the regular index page. So, what did you like? What didn't you like? Let me know what worked well and what didn't; it'll just make things more fun next year. Happy Fooling, everyone!

:D! WOW, that was good! You had me really confused when you said that the forums looked fine to you :3. I saw the Psyduck and the Seaking, but not slowpoke, and I thought that the Seaking disabled all the options for a while! Worst of all, I believed the interview :o. But that was a pretty good joke, thanks!

That was pretty funny! Props to you! You really had me confused with the forum mix-up. P.S. The Psyduck was the Slowpoke - it was a mix of the two.

Erureido...the Japanese name of Gallade. That's where the name came from...I think. Nice joke, Jiggz! It was really interesting to say the least... Is Opal the confirmed name for the third DP game?
