Indexing

With
the new year I felt that the time had finally come to create a new
contents menu and make the site frameless. I took the first two
days of the year completely to do just that. |

may appear

Also, while I was applying the new
layout to the Hoenn section, I noticed that many of the links were
just links because they referenced a person. Plus, sometimes it
was hard to guess where a person's image was, as is the case with the
picture of Nurse
Joy. Because of this, I decided to create the Character
Index listing all the characters. |

Frenzy and New Staff
|
Thinking that I might be running out of
things to do for the site, I decided to search for new images, and
found some great official pictures that I hadn't seen before, such
as those from Nintendo
of Norway (2).
Unfortunately I found that I had more pictures than what I could
handle and two months later, there was still some I hadn't uploaded.
Fortunately, around this time was when some new staff members
offered to help the company, spreading out the work for not only the
images, but also for other future plans. |

The
Wikipedia Period
 Around
February, I discovered Wikipedia,
"The free encyclopedia" through a Google
search for something else. I decided to look up Pokémon and discovered
that there were multiple articles on the subject, just like on other fictional
worlds. However, the pokémon articles were in great need of expansion
and they were lacking images. So I took it in my own hands to improve
them, and soon discovered many other people who also seemed to be thinking
along the same lines. One of them was Bulbaboy,
who I later hired and who helped me bring out the Orre
Section.
The
only downside of this attempt was that this and schoolwork consumed much
of my time leaving less for the page. This goes to explaining the low
amount of newsletters
in April and March.

Orre

With Bulbaboy
on my team and his adquisition of the by then recently-released Pokémon
Colosseum, I was ready to start with Orre.
However, due to my limited time, it took a lot longer than I
expected. I couldn't believe it when the first page took me three
days! However, I finally brought it together and am pushing to its completion. |

Raining
worse than on Route 119
|
|
In
the month (not the character) of May, I found myself under a heavy
downpour of school project due-dates, each one closer to the other,
leaving me no time to spare for the website. This caused it to stay
for a long time without any updates at all. I finally was able to do
some heavy-duty updating only because of a long weekend. |

Semi-Conclusion
|
Overall,
I am highly satisfied with all I've accomplished on this site. I feel like
I've put almost all of the information I know about the Pokémon
World's "Places and People" on the internet and the site
is coming along nicely. This is not to say that I'll abandon it
anytime soon.
I
next aim to do the animated banner at the top, but will not forget
the users with limited bandwidth. I am also going to do how Kanto is
in Pokémon Fire Red. |

Post
Script: Please
take into account that there is no tour company whatsoever in the real Blackthorn
City. This "company" is entirely fictional and made up by
myself. The places mentioned on this site are also fictional, but are taken
from the Pokémon games mentioned in the Important
Dates section of this website. Copyright
information for these games and the images can be found on the Notes
on Images section (even though I edited most of them). The text, however, was
all written by me.
