PokeProject Blog

Today I have made good progress with the BETA website once again.  The whole PokeProject category as been completed as planned.  I have even got the “contact us” page up with a form that viewers can use to send me an email easily.  However I am thinking about coding my own as I am using a free website one.

I have also added the Inferno and Hydro main page.  With an introduction to the project as well as navigation instructions.  I have also today integrated a graphics page where PokeProject banners etc can be found.  When I have this page up.  I will be starting on the hosting section.

The hosting section should be all completed with in two days maximum.  However it may take slightly longer as I have to make a “Terms and Conditions” page.  In which I have never written on before.  After this I will make a start on the main Movesets Dex pages.  That’s all to come.  I will keep you informed.

Today I have been working on the website all day. I have all pages up and running with proper navigation and everything. Obviously the only pages that are not up are the movesets, pokedex, etc pages. However they will be added as the content for them are ready.

I need to just get content in the pages now. I have been working on a big F.A.Q page. I am adding all the questions I can think to aviod people asking them so I have more time now and in the future. Tommorow I will be adding more content and hopefully I will have the whole PokeProject category finished. I will then be working on the hosting section, and then the movesets dex. Before I start adding the Pokemon to the dex, I will start adding all of our Inferno and Hydro information to the Inferno and Hydro section.

I will also be deciding weather the Platinum Project will continue or not. I am unsure at the moment on how that will be. It will be decided tommorow and I will let you know. I will also be contacting them three members I talked about in the previous post tommorow. So look back on updates for that.

Today I have gotten up the beat version of the website. Which is basically a secret location where I will build the website so no one can see it except me. Unless you figure out the URL. Anyways I have finished the includes, and I have started adding content to the layout.

I have got the index, history, forum history, website history, and history intro pages up. I have also obviously started the blog again. I have also added this category for “updates”. Over the next day or two I will be aiming to complete all the “PokeProject” general pages.

So then I can start getting main content up. I plan on working at a steady and on-going rate and I will keep posting updates here daily. I am also thinking about the Pokemon Platinum Blog I started. Not sure weather to continue or now.

Anyways. I will keep adding updates daily.

Well, not quite.  Sorry for the long, long await for an update.  Yes….  I am a rapper.  Now in all seriousness.  PokeProject Blog was neglected on purpose.  After all this time I am ready to finally make an update and let everyone know what is going on.  Well basically I was busy for a period of time.  Well a couple of months.  Now I am not so busy, I have started to work on the final PokeProject.

The old layout as been scrapped and I have now bought a new one.  Why, you ask.  The old one was dull, lifeless, and was definitely not a Pokemon looking layout.  Now we have a bright, lively, and Pokemon themed designed.  Obviously I paid a designer, however this time I could not resist as the designer was awesome.  Now what I will be doing is.  I will be working on getting the new website up.  I will be getting all vital pages added, and all content I can personally do myself.

Later on I will have a blog, and forum skin that will match the theme and it will integrate with the websites layout.  Until then, I will be keeping the defaults that are already installed.  You may ask why I am doing the website before the forums, the answer is: Websites with great content pull the viewers to the forums.  It makes them want to join.

So I thought it would be wise to do so.  Also it is important that I myself add all the Inferno and Hydro work to a website do people can see what we have, and what we need.  I may develop an area where members can log in and actually add, edit, and delete content in the Inferno and Hydro section.  We will have to wait and see.

Also I have been thinking recently.  I will shortly be asking three members of the forums.  If they would like to join the website even more.  What I mean about this.  I myself, and these three members together will run PokeProject.  These three members have contributed the most, and have stuck around the most.  I feel they will continue to do so, so shortly they will be invited.

I have a beta development website up and running now.  I will develop there secretly and then when I am ready I will move it to the proper location and announce it.  However until then I will not be showing it to anyone.  Unless you find it yourself.

Lastly.  I will be making a new category called “updates”.  Rather then having a normal web-page I will use the “updates” category of this blog for the updates of the whole network.

I haven’t posted a article for a while on here.  I apologize.  However I have since the last post here finally done the forums.  We have moved all members, posts, everything over to our own server now.  We are on vBulletin as well.  Finally paid for vBulletin and we have used vBulletin software instead of phpBB.

I will be working hard now.  Also the demo will have to be moved back.  I haven’t really been able to do anything.  However I will have to work loads and loads to get it going.  I need to also make some more changes to the forums.  I need to get various things finished before I do some serious updates.  However from now I promise to not be as lazy.

I thought I will make a post telling you guys and gals what I have done on my Pokemon Journey. As you know, this blog is taking the place of an old one I used to use. Nothing ever did get posted. Well actual game play anyways.

27th July Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games come out. That means I can use both Diamond and Pearl. I decided to use Pokemon Diamond, and I will also use Pearl for the missing Pokemon. Anyways with in a week, I got all eight badges. I then stopped playing the game for a while.

Perhaps playing now and then, I am not too sure. However just a couple of days after having Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. I was worrying about getting my main goal Pokemon. One day I watch Cartoon Network, this was like in July/August. Anyways on TV I saw a “Pokemon Summer Day Camp” advert.

It was advertising an Toys R Us event, which would be giving away Mew. I then went back on the Internet “which I was resting from, which made me watch the advert”. On the websites, I saw the event in Derby. I have actually been here before, so I know my way on the train and how to get there.

However there was one problem. We was meant to be going on holiday to visit some of my family. Luckily, it got cancelled. However there was one problem. It was a GBA event and I need an new GBA Pokemon game. Like two days before the event I found a UK store “Internet Store” which still had brand new copies of Pokemon FireRed.

I ordered it next day delivery. I thought I had to complete the game, so I was rushing through. However I then discovered information of UK based Pokemon forums and found out that I didn’t need to complete the game. So lucky, I have a new game which Mew can be added to.

I also checked all my other Pokemon games, my Emerald, and another one of my many FireReds had no cheats what so ever. I managed to get three Mews in the end, and they we’re all on none cheated games. Anyways I basically got the train to Derby, got Mew, and some food and left.

I don’t know why I left, I just did. I guess I only wanted Mew. From here, I played only my FireRed (the new one). Around Christmas time, I decide to play Diamond again. I have done a lot since then. I now have over 200 Pokemon and counting. The Mews are still on the original packs Nintendo downloaded them to, and are untouched.

I also have a Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, waiting on the new FireRed. All caught in Pokeballs, and untouched. However, I am not transferring them just yet. So far I have transferred over;

Charmander
Dunsparce
Scmoochum
Elekid
Pichu
Eevee

Ditto
Gastly
Weedle
Machoke
Wobbbuffet
Kadabra

Electrode
Graveler
Magneton
Tangela
Pidgey
Hoppip

Exeggcute
Caterpie
Venonat
Ekans
Meowth
Goldeen

I have also started to add the Pokedex page to this blog. They will be added as they are obtained on Pokemon Diamond. You will have to wait a couple of days for me to get the 200 Pokemon I have already got. Anyways I don’t think there is too much stuff to add.

So from now on, all post entries will be on now and the future. Lets see how long it takes me to get all 493 Pokemon. Gotta Catch em All!

Okay, so like way back in July 2007.  I started a blogspot blog, on my Pokemon Diamond journey.  It was about Pokemon events, and me obtaining all of the 493 Pokemon on my game.  I launched the blog a couple of days before I had Pokemon diamond, due to it was not released at the time.

Anyways, I stopped posting in that blog and stopped playing the games after like a week.  Due to me being on the Internet most of the time.  I have now started to play Pokemon Diamond.  There fore I have decided to continue my Journey here.  I will tell you what its about, and all rules.  I will not copy the old posts over, in case I am targeted for multiple content.

So Introduction, here I go.  Ever since I planned on buying Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, I decided that I would not use any action replay cheats on the games.  Usually I use them.  However all of a sudden I change my opinions on cheating and decide to create these following rules;

Rules of Obtaining Pokemon

• I cannot use any of my old Pokemon games, to trade to Pokemon Diamond, and Pearl.
• If I need Pokemon from old games, I must buy the games again.  Then they must only be in communication with games that are newly bought or the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games.
• I will not have glitched Pokemon, nor use the glitch cloning method.  This includes having clones.
• I cannot trade with anyone who games have cheats, or even traded with cheated games.  Which is a rule only someone insane would create.

In the end I have decided that I cannot trade with anyone at all, and I can only trade between Diamond and Pearl, and newly bought games.  Making my chances of getting Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Deoxys nearly impossible.  Especially Mew, and Deoxys.

So using those above rules, I have to capture all 493 Pokemon.  I can buy as many new games as I wish, however old ones cannot be used.

So, now I have most of my plans in final stages. It’s money that is stopping further completion, however this is not a problem. I haven’t been able to update or do much as I have been earning money online. I have made $110.00 USD so far. So that’s good.

I need to get $85.00 for the vBulletin licence, $80 for the backup, and $50.00 for various little things. However with in sixty days of having vBulletin, I have to pay another $85.00 if I wish to make the licence a owned licence. So that in total is $300.00 USD.

I am one third of the way there already. Hopefully I will have achieved this all by, March. So I will be busy earning money, and I need it to fit in with making the website and blog. I also need to make some progress on Inferno and Hydro.

Okay, I have a couple of various updates and ideas to share.  I have once again started to think about vBulletin over phpBB 3.  I love phpBB 3, and I have fallen in love with the new style and features.  However we will probably be a lot better on vBulletin.

Members who register and be active on forums, always like vBulletin.  You will probably never hear anyone say “vBulletin is rubbish” or anything like that.  I will have to decide quickly.  I will keep you updated on that first of all.

Now secondly, as for the website.  I have been changing plans, and planning the final touches.  I have am pretty much sure, we will be set with in three days time.  From there I will be able to add more and more content.  The layout should also be finally done, with all features.

I am getting more categories up on the blog also.  That means I will have more to blog about, and more for everyone to read.  I will post updates on my plans, and I go along.  I want fast action to proceed the next couple of weeks.

So I haven’t physically added anything to the website or blog, however the tester phpBB 3 forums have.  I have been adding the forums, categories etc.  However I have recently found out that I have to do it all again when we move.  So I have stopped progress there for now.

However I have been making plans regarding the forums, rather then moving, then continuing.  I now wish to make the forums go boom.  By this I mean, I will act as if the forums are brand new.  Targeted traffic, and members will be registering hopefully.

What I am going to do is, use all my web-mastering plans I have ever written for forums.  Then use them on PokeProject.  Rather then waiting and using them on future forums, I am just going to use them on PokeProject.  I wish to get a lot of activity going on the forums, so when it comes to finishing the website and updating the blog and project.  I will happlily know the forums are active.

I have also started to re-think the plans through on the website.  I think I can do a lot better then I have already planned.  This is not a problem for anyone but me however, as I never like to spill all plans into detail.  I am going to start progress with the website from tomorrow by the way.

Also the forum move will be pushed back, until around March.  Around the same time as the Inferno and Hydro demo version release.  Another announcement would be, I have started playing Pokemon Diamond again.  I before had a free hosted blog about my legit Pokemon Journey.  I plan restarting that, but on this blog.  Gives something a little extra for everyone to read.
