https://t.co/724PM1iKne I have added a new article, part reminiscence and part game mechanics deep-dive, about my glitched Jolteon.

https://t.co/yyuA8EI8e5 The Favorite Pokémon Picker now has a default gender setting (2000% more of a headache than you think) and the options have been organized a bit.

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

Two more Favorite Pokémon Picker options have been added: you can now include or exclude e.g. legendaries, and you can have forms count as the base Pokémon's generation. https://t.co/88gXpV7Unr

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

@rberenfeld Yes, that was the previous update.

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

You can now exclude base Pokémon (non-forms) in the Favorite Pokémon Picker if desired. https://t.co/PvqxCrndRD

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

There is now an option to treat shinies as separate Pokémon in the Favorite Pokémon Picker. https://t.co/DtHHS3oCx0

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

Since the Pokémon Home artwork is finally out, the new Z-A mega forms have now been added to the Favorite Pokémon Picker. https://t.co/lA8PZ0Y1gD

The writeup for this year's April Fools' Day joke is now up. https://t.co/8ttmOVDUBr

Due to the many changes in my life recently, I have made a pivot towards a new niche going forward - mommy blogging 🥰🙏 https://t.co/2qoIHxfaTF

I've updated my affiliation requirements for the first time in a long time. https://t.co/nfji8Po2GC

The annual New Year's update is up. https://t.co/fV9s2nUrzS

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

https://t.co/CXAxbpQ1V0 TCoD's URLs are now a bit nicer and more consistent, and I accidentally rewrote a couple of guides (most importantly, the reviewing guide).

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

@AlolanRonin The Favorite Pokémon Picker uses the renders from Pokémon Home, and there is no Pokémon Home render for Eternal Floette. There do seem to be similar official renders of Z-A exclusives but I don't think they've all been released; they will be added once I do have all the artwork.

https://t.co/rVMBK8LolX The site is now finally running on Python 3 instead of 2.7. Ideally this means nothing you would notice, but I feel a lot better now.

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

https://t.co/t3yw9MJwR1 I've made some smaller updates, most prominently to the Hangman and Number Game.

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

@ZephAlmighty @AndyBakesYT The manual reordering feature and the "Click here to check what happened to it" link are there to compensate, though - if you think you might have accidentally eliminated something, you can 'rescue' it to put it back in the running, or manually move it higher on the list.

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

@ZephAlmighty @AndyBakesYT The algorithm behind it is always correct in principle (you'll never have a Pokémon just happen to not show up by random chance or something), but of course as a human one can accidentally overlook a Pokémon or make a weird pick in the moment.

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

@paxunova @AndyBakesYT For what it's worth, you can drag the Pokémon around in your list to reorder them!

[The Cave of Dragonflies @dragonflycave]

@ZephAlmighty @AndyBakesYT You can order every single Pokémon with the picker! Some people have done it.

https://t.co/iy0lno1mHG The Cave of Dragonflies is twenty-three years old today, and to celebrate I went and added some related pages to the bottom of every page within the layout - picked by hand for each one, because I am slightly mad.
