Let me know what you think
Edit: also there's a page about the bird type now, finally
Oh, and just to let you know what'll be updated next - I'm going to be going through the glitchdex pages for R/B/Y and adding some things like screenshots, cries (in wav format probably), and missing information like base stats, capture/encounter flags and TM moves. Also included will be the actual in-game name of the glitch pokemon (rendered as an image, of course) and a blurb on whether or not the glitch has an improperly terminated name or Pokedex, and whether or not the pokedex causes the game to freeze. In the attackdex department will be some videos of the glitch attack being used, updated descriptions, new data from rocco (who I hope will also be helping ;) ), et cetera. In the itemdex department will be general cleaning up, images, and expansion, as well as a page explaining exactly what the "strangemart" is. I will be adding some savestates (including my "PokePC" Red state) to the downloadables section… I'll be renaming it the "Downloadables" section and adding things like a downloadable site backup, pokemon font, glitch sound FX, things like that (stuff other than actual game ROMs, of course). Videos will be made of the major glitch tricks such as Old Man, Ditto/Mew Trick, Q Trick, Paco81's Celebi Trick (speaking of that, I'm quite a sceptic so even if everyone else on the forum reports that it works I just have to do it myself… sorry ;p), the Johto Guard trick (which is probably noteworthy even if it doesn't work as it should). A video will also be made to clarify the extremely complicated wording on the Duplicant Missingnos' pages on how exactly the effect works. Minor Glitches could probably use some cleaning up, although seeing as how they're minor there's probably not much info on them that could be expanded on. The Big List 2 will be another major addition. As it is now, the Big List is horribly static and it looks like it was ripped straight off of TR Rose's hex list (as it fails to list any glitches below C8, instead only listing trainers). The Big List 2 will be PHP/MySQL powered, be searchable and sortable, and will list all the glitches in R/B/Y, along with the trainers. All names will be hyperlinked to their respective glitch/attack/itemdex articles. The search engine could also use a bit of retouching. It's horribly outdated and inefficient. ItemDex and AttackDex need to be expanded for Yellow and Green, but I might be too busy to actually collect that data, so I should find some other staff member (hint hint ACE91 NEWO KYOUKIPICHI XPARASITE9 RAGNAROK STACKOUT LOCKE YGGDRASILL POKEGLITCH WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING) to handle that aspect. Also some information on the D/P #000, "Blank" (which is what we've decided to call it, I think), needs to be collected. Pokemon, attacks, types, and items will need to be hyperlinked to their respective Bulbapedia articles (hey, if we link to them, maybe they'll link back… nah, won't happen). In the glitchdex we can offer visitors more information (mostly screenshots) by linking to TRsRockin's respective glitchdex for the 15 or so glitch Pokemon that are in her dex (we aren't, er, in "competition" anymore I think). Also xparasite9 mentioned a "tweaking" glitch for D/P that he said was of vital importance… I don't know shit about D/P so I can't do anything there, I think the rest of the staff has it though. Stuff from Submit A Glitch needs to be packed into article format and put on the site. The Yellow Missingno desperately needs a page in the Glitchdex, I don't know why it doesn't have one… maybe because people think it's too ZOMG DANGEROUS to actually pick one up? Again, videos. We need videos of almost everything on the site. A picture means a thousand words, and a video is made up of thousands (ok, well, maybe hundreds) of pictures moving at high speed to create the illusion of motion, so that's a hell of a lot of words right there. Some people might not understand the explanations for the Ditto Trick, Old Man Trick, or Q Trick given, but everyone should be able to follow a video (I mean, "monkey see, monkey do" and all that… not like I'm calling anyone monkeys but it should be very simple). The pictures of the Glitch Dolls and Glitch Unowns (and I will get pics of them all) will be organized into neat tables. Information on the important people and sites in the Pokemon glitch "scene" needs to be given. Also, at the very end, when all this is done, then (and only then) will I add a style switcher.
This is why I have ten freaking people on the staff - because so much needs to be done.
