Anybody with Admin below their name is definitely me or a trusted person. I myself will always sign as Butterfree. If somebody signs under that name but does not have the Admin label, it is most likely an impostor.

There should be a name for this phenomenon - the phenomenon of "early-game Pokémon that get definitively less useful over the course of the game". Or not even just Pokémon; any similar effects in video games. Like Disc One Nuke except the nuke isn't actually necessarily strong enough to be considered a full-blown nuke. My Beautifly and Dustox are undergoing this now as I approach Flannery in my Emerald Nuzlocke. I hereby call it Butterfree Syndrome.

Must have missed it. Being a fast reader is awesome, but it's a curse sometimes.

The corresponding phrase is in the paragraph above the example - "Now we have the first version of our Aerobuzz, the way some spriters would leave it".

I discovered an error. Originally, the guide said something to the effect of "some spriters would just leave it like this", and then the phrase "But we're not just some spriters." After editing, the first phrase is edited out but the second remains.

Wow. Just... Just wow. I came here to kill time and wait for busy server to go away, and I'm rewarded with this. I don't even know what to say.
So I'll say it again.

Wow.

I have plenty of Butterfree in the Hall of Fame. I've only ever ditched one Butterfree in my life; I've had Butterfree happily in my final team on Gold, FireRed, Diamond, SoulSilver and Black, and possibly more. :P Like I said, the fic is not autobiographical.

Wow..the Guestbook looks so pretty in Celebi style!
*Amazed*
It just now occured to me that the Guestbook changes too, when you switch styles.

Hm, I suppose I interpreted your rowling-adage as an angry one. My apologies then.

I think there might be some kind of psychological effects to it merely because you are practically teleporting the pokemon to the future - They go into the box, and come out, not realizing that months or years have passed. It might have an effect when they try to understand what has happened. :V

I think you misunderstood me somewhere. I did not take it as "telling me off", nor did I defend it on the basis that it's "just a story"; I was mainly pointing out that while you said the box was very different "for you" from the way it is "for me", it isn't really like this "for me", because I might just as well write another fic tomorrow where it works completely differently.

Not that I really see how this kind of box is inherently inhumane when you aren't leaving the Pokémon on there for years. They don't have a real sense of time in there, so they'd just experience it kind of like going to sleep and then waking up a bit later. There's no reason that should automatically have some ill effects on the mind or body, unless you were to specifically decide to add this to the interpretation.

Hum, I didn't mean to sound like I was telling you off for having a box system like that. It is just crushing to think that pokemon would be treated so inhumanely with scarce a thought to it.

What would suspended animation do to a psyche and body, and could this technology be developed to dispose of troublesome humans.


Yes I know it's 'just a story'. :/

Great, great story. You really get the emotions across. I felt a bit sad reading it - it was that kind of story.
I wish the trainer wouldn't be so indecisive and just accept that her Butterfree is happy again, but I guess I'd feel different if I was that trainer. Oh well. Anyway, great work Butterfree =D

So what's with this weird sprite for Wormadam in the sprite generator? (It's the HGSS shiny sprite.) Is it some sort of funky beta sprite or what? Also, that for of Wormadam is missing the second animation frame for both normal and shiny.

I remember using Butterfree against Brock so many times, having played and restarted Yellow a lot. He always ended up in the box, though.

Of course, the first time I played through and beat Yellow, I used a Pidgey, who ended up being level 100 by the time I was finished with the game. I feel bad now, about the rest of my team, who ended up just being low-leveled meatshields and HM slaves. ._.

All-in-all, great story, Butterfree. <3

I really liked the story too. It was almost making me cry... I liked the whole way it was written and it related to me as well. All too many times I've done the exact same thing and said to myself I'd train whatever Pokémon and never end up doing it and when I do, it makes me feel bad that I put it off so long. Well done, Butterfree. :)

@Butterfree and Hikaru, I'm quite scared that the forum is going to crash, so I'm trying to find some kind of document..storing thingy. I may try Yarny.
