10-27-08 - We've Had a Good Run

Dear Internet,
Dodrio's Nest has really changed in the past... 4 years it's been around. From Wings and Claws to Dodrio's Nest, it's been quite fun. As you can see, the site has sadly been neglected for a long time. That's no good! Yet instead of fixing it up, like I always used to do, it's my duty to advise you that Dodrio's Nest will be going offline soon. Yet not necessarily offline. The domain name www.Dodriosnest.com will be taken offline, and the site will go back to www.freewebs.com/dodrio_girl. No I am not quitting Pokemon, no I'm not quitting the Internet, no I'm not dead, no I'm not planning to die. I've simply just gotten bored with running the website, and I have been bored for the longest time. Anyone ever seen Death Note? Well here's a spoiler for all of you who haven't finished the series yet, Ryuk get's bored and kills Light in the end. So you can compare that to now, I got bored with it, so I'm ending it. You can still catch me on my DeviantART. I'm there daily.
The website should remain online as Dodriosnest.com until February 4th 2009, and then it will go back to www.freewebs.com/dodrio_girl. Pages will not be updated, don't expect any information. Forums will still be open, the URL for those will not change. I check the forums daily, so if you do post there and it's something I can reply to, I will. Just because we're no longer here doesn't mean I'm not. If you want to personally contact me about anything, email me here.
Much love,
-Dodrio Girl

7-26-07 - Thanks for 2000!

Okay, so maybe we kind of passed 2000, but I was waiting for 2222 hits... just for kicks. And what do you know, I was able to view the site just as it reached that number! So yay for 2222, and thanks everyone! And along with today's news, we have a new affiliate, Latias Land. It has a bunch of different information on it ranging from games to movies, but it has somewhat of an issues with pop-ups. It's a great site, but yeah, don't go there if you have a slow computer or if you don't have the best virus protection. And sorry I haven't been active much. T-T I'm a failure as a webmistress. Oh well, haha. Yeah, I recently just went to a Pokemon tournament and got a bunch of interesting information. I've also been busy setting up a Pokemon team. Team Minority... haha, you can tell why it's our partner site now, eh? So yeah, I actually think I'll get more done when school starts, seeing as everyone else will be busy with school work and unable to hang out with me. So yes, I hope you all had a great summer (or winter) and we will watch in sadness as the last of it fades away. Bringing us into the next school year and more updates! See you soon!

6-22-07 - Haha! Told you so!

I told you told you told you that I would get around to writing those game reviews! Okay, so maybe I forced Josh to write them, but I had to review everything he did, so I still can say I did them myself. I also started uploading the Emerald Version normal sprites. So those will be up eventually. Yes, I know I overuse that term, but it's true. And in other news, we gained ourselves a new affiliate! Valley of Leaves, or just VOL for short is now working with us. They have a pretty good laid-out site and is going along well, so be sure to pay them a visit. And remember that old thing from forever ago? The Pokemon of the Week? And how it's been Smeargle for the last like, month or so, I can't really remember how long now? Well yeah, I was planning to update it to be Dialga, 'cause after 45 votes, we finally have a winner. But anyways, I was planning to update it.... until my scanner broke. Haha, yeah, just yesterday, too! And I still have all my trillions of drawings to scan in from my trip to Europe. So bleh, hopefully we'll have a new Pokemon of the week in less than a month this time. xD I hope you all are having a good summer (or winter, if you live in Australia or somewhere.) And I hope to update again with more news soon. If you'd like to see where the site may be heading, don't hesitate to join the forums. Anyone is welcome!

5-21-07 - About Time for an Update!

Sorry... I'm back. I still haven't beaten Diamond (curse my inablility to stay on task.) But I HAVE put up the normal Fire Red and Leaf Green sprites, (oh thank heavens there was only 151 of them.) So yeah, I'm getting around to making those guides/reviews whatever you wanna call them, of the games like Ruby and Sapphire. So those will be done eventually. I plan on trying to upload the Crystal Pokemon sprites in my free time, but the school computers (the ones I work on my site with since I don't seem to have time at home) have blocked the website I upload my sprites from, so it may take even LONGER to get all of them up. And I know it's almost summer, so I can assure you I will get something up during then, I'm not sure what, though. I'll probably work on learning how to make quiz scrips. I will be missing though from June 5th to June 17th because I'm taking a trip to France and Spain, so say hi if you're reading this from out there! (But I'm sure I probably wouldn't have updated during then, anyways, so you won't miss much.)

4-22-07 - Not Dead Yet!

Okay, I know I've been gone forever, but I'm not dead yet! Diamond and Pearl were released in the USA today and I eagerly purchased my copy from Target earlier today. I'm currently playing the game as I type this and I'm going as fast as I can to record everything about the game. Please know that the Pokemon I'm recording will be incomplete due to the fact that you can only start the game with one starter Pokemon, not all three. (What's up with that? D=) So I'll be trying to put some pages up about the game and the other games like Ruby and Sapphire and all those other games that I've been needing to update about forever. (Curse my procrastination.) On the plus side though, I've slowly but surely been trying to download all of the Diamond and Pearl sprites. As of now, though, we've only got the male sprites and Ruby and Sapphire sprites up.... It may be another week before I can get all of the female sprites. After that, I'm not sure if I should try to upload with all of the shiny sprites of those generations, or try to upload the Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green sprites. (Compared to uploading Diamond/Pearl sprites, that would be extremely easy. 400 Pokemon sprites times 4, due to the second pose, male/female sprites, and then add on the shinies. I don't know how the game designers handle it! Then again, they're paid to do this....) But I'm getting off topic. Oh well. Now you know what's coming. And since the school year is almost over for me, I should be able to get more things done in the summer. Yay!

2-24-07 - PotW?

Ok you guys, I'm going to start bringing up the Pokemon of the Week page again. But when the when the Pokemon of the Week is chosen, I don't know how you guys want it displayed. So I'm relying on you people to go over the Pokemon of the Week page and vote on the poll. I'm currently trying to think of other pages to put up on the site, too. So if you've got any ideas, send me an email or sign the guest book with it! Please and thank you!

2-18-07 - We're Up!

Konnichiwa Pokemon fans! Good news! We're finally up on our own domain! So no more typing in freewebs.com/blah_blah_blah. I'm still testing everything and I'm still putting some pages up. If you find any errors, have any complaints, or have any suggestions, please, feel free to contact me at Dodriosnest@myway.com. (Yes, we had enough money for a domain, but no email address! =O) So look around, go for a walk, take your time, things will be coming up the rest of today....
