I always preferred this layout over serebii's clusterfuck

>>31727291
Oh shit, I miss this site. I loved the bootleg merch and Engrish stuff.

I also read some weird fanfic about a dead Meowth that became something called a Caterwaul.

>>31727301
>tfw Pokebeach used to be more cozy
Nothing was wrong with this layout.

What was that real site that wrote synopses of every episode and saying that James was gay? And they insisted Oak was Ash's father. They had Koffing as a mascot, like everyone else.

It was funny sometimes.

Dogasu's Backpack? It's still running, though not too much. The writing style has changed for the better over the years, cause yeah, old reviews are just cringe.

PokeDream. It seems abandoned now.

>>31727445
Nah, but close. I looked it up and found out that it was Pokemopolis.

I thought it was still alive. but it's actually dead/dying.

My nigga, I was on this daily from like 2009 to 2012.

>>31727518
Oh yeah, they changed forums and the main guy writing the reviews stopped. It's definitely a dead forum now, alas.

This and Pokémon Project used to be the best spanish Pokémon websites, at least to my knowledge.
They still exist to this day, but they barely update anymore and the layout's a mess because the owners post on their site's facebook groups instead.

>>31727329
Let us remember what used to be.

NOW IT'S SHIT REEEEEEEEEEEE

AGNPH

best place for pokeporn and fics

Same around 2004.
What was your username?

got me on the first post, god damn
wish this site was still around, it got me interested in glitches in general

>>31727291
That telefang mystery dungeon parody was great.

There was that one site that generated PMD codes for you. Wonder if it's still alive.

I miss this place.
It was so fun making teams using this. I wish there was another site like it.

>>31727882
Not quite. The site itself closed and the webmaster moved on, but some people on the forums wanted to keep the forums running, so they set up a new one and the webmaster was cool enough to toss up a link to it on the site and pay for a couple years of server costs so the site would still stay up for a while longer.

I used to go there all the time, but most of the fun people on the forums left ages ago.

>>31727445
>old reviews are just cringe
Full of errors too, since he didn't know as much Japanese as he acted like he did.

>>31727301
That's the same damned layout though.

Shit I give this a bump because I'm loving all the nostalgiafest

Did any of you had a smaller fansite you loved in particular? Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod, anything like that?
Did any of you made a site back then?

Man, I wish we could get this site up to speed and active again. It was such a good tool to use for trading back from HGSS-BW2

Pewter City Pokémon Center, I think it was called, was my first Pokémon website. It had a Pokémon game made in RPG Maker 95. Pretty cute. I found the game a while back but I lost it again. One of those great RPG Maker 95 Pokémon games that may be lost to time (RIP Evan's Adventure)...

Also used to frequent Abra's Psychic Pokémon Connection- Psypoke as it's more commonly known. It's very much a second-rate Serebii nowadays but back then it was loads of fun.

Briefly visited Caterpie Forest once or twice, I remember being wowed by the amount of fan fiction the webmaster had done, it's probably something like a hundred times more nowadays.

Used to post on Pokemopolis all the time, right up until TPCi took over the anime, coincidentally or not...

And Serebii, of course, that one never went away. And this place!

What was your nick? I probably remember you.

>>31727464
I downloaded so many sprites from there.

Also, Pokesho and its horrible different sprites.

>>31727406
Zedja_Fire never forget

>>31728584
Project?
Are you talking about the Paradox mess? I'll give you PkPidgeot but Project just used the fame of its predecessor.

mew's hangout

>>31734254
Yeah. Never used its predecessor actually, but it's still a shame that most of the decent/good spanish websites outside of Centro Pokémon are all dead.

>>31727291
I used to go to a spanish one called pokeyplay, some yahoo groups and the official site. But im not really nostalgic.

>>31734274
On the other hand, centro pokemon is pretty damn good, specially considering its spanish and by pokemon fans.

Team Rocket Ramble Land, a spin off from a TR fanfic site whose name I forget. Must have been well over 15 years ago now. First place on the internet I ever truly called home.

God I miss those guys.

Two Dutch ones, nikospokemonsite.nl and pokemonwolken.nl.
The first one was made by a dad for his son somewhere during pre-gen III and was alive until somewhere after D/P released. Its forum is still on-air but it's one you can't visit unless you create an account. Man, I miss the times where I would go to the chatbox and talk about Pokémon.
The second one is where I actually learned about Ruby/Sapphire for the first time, shit was hype. The only update that site has seen since X/Y release is a short article about Go. The X/Y dex is still marked as NEW.

It's always a shame to see sites die.

>>31734602
>would browse nikos site daily as a kid
Feels bad man, back then small sites still had a chance. Nowadays wikis dominate all

I used to browse pojo as a site, though it was more focused on the card game.

I was looking through the archives, and I found this

what the hell

>>31734163
Couldn't think of a good one so I just posted under my real name, Luke.

>Pokemon Diamond: A really bad made ROM. You can download it at www.pokedavid.com. It has alot of cussing and unkind gestures in it. I called Nintendo Pokemon and they said the person probably hates pokemon, this is why they made it. It is made on Microsoft Paint. It wont be released. However, the pokemon on the box REALLY is the evolved form of Lapras called Lapronk in English. This pokemon will be in Pokemon Advanced!

>>31734856
That actually rings a bell.

>>31735089
Sweet! Who were you?

>>31735111
Adamant. Hi.

>>31735134
That name rings a bell too. I suppose it makes sense someone else from that site would make it here, it's a similar sense of humour!

Anybody remember The Cave of Dragonflies?

>>31735360
Lots of people from there ended up here. Back when the site announced it was closing down, we had a thread here where tons of people said they used to visit.

>>31735446
That one's still online, at least.

Did anyone else visit Zapchu?

>>31735446
That favorite pokemon picker that people use all the time is hosted there, so the site itself is still relatively active. I'm sure its forums are dead, but I never used those.
