My messages from 2019 were cringe. You know how when people learn a new thing, they think they know everything? That was me. Also had to change my signature and hobbies/profession section. Game developer? Since when!? Also I wish I could change my username. "IanSkinner1982" would be much better in my opinion. I'd even settle for "IS1982".

I come back and look at the forum sometimes, I remember the old days

This website just came into my mind today and I came in to check it out. It appears that it is already inactive for a long time.

Hope all the previously active users that I've interacted with are doing well in life.

I check in occasionally. I'd like to see the forums have a revival, but there just isn't enough regular traffic, and there isn't a large enough niche that Psypokes can fill that hasn't already been filled by Serebii or Smogon, or the likes.

Maybe it would help if there was a more active form of communication, such as a Discord server? Does anyone know anything about running one?

I hope this site never gets taken down. It's like a perfect little time capsule of mid to late 2000s and what Pokemon was like back then and I never wanna see it go.

Today, I came across an interview article with Frost which I've read till the end. I hope Frost is still around here to read this. Thank you for all your effort and time to manage this site over the years.

I joined back in 2007 when I was in early high school. It was already 18 years ago, how time flies. Back then I frequently visited this site, posted a few topics, interacted with many (which I had kinda forgotten who they were now). I don't play much Pokemon games now but I still check on Pokemon related things from time to time. I did get myself a 3DS and Switch to play recent Pokemon games but some of those were left halfway in progress. Might buy a Switch 2 and try out Gen 10 when it arrives.

I'm surprised that I still got my login password correctly on the first try even after all these years.

Great article...great memories!

A reply in such a short time! This is an unexpected pleasant surprise. Great to see a reply from you Tom. Let us see if Frost will make an appearance or not.

I keep seeing youtubers using the Psypoke IV calculator, and it reminds me of this, I check up on it, then I forget. Repeat.
