Latest revision as of 21:21, 30 March 2024

Hidden content

There are 2 other 'hidden' games available at the archived site. One simply needs to change the number in the address to access them. E.G. In the address for "Deep Sea Diving" change the 4 to a 2 to play a 'follow the PokéBall' game involving a shiny Shuckle amongst non-shiny Shuckle.

Games include:

  • "Tic-Tac-Toe" at Funzone_1.
  • The aforementioned Shuckle game at Funzone_2. - I am unsure what this would have been called.

Should I write up a section for these? --Bardock 10:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

So, they're like Easter Eggs? Were these on the old site? By all means feel free to write something up. —darklordtrom 10:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Shiftry's Big Seed Fling! is back up

Header says it all. --sp unit 262 06:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

old games

Should it be noted that the old games can no longer be played due to the archive site being closed? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 13:30, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Screenshots

Do we want a screenshot of each (or maybe every second or third) minigame? Cause I can get them, if we want? ~Takhareon 08:55, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

All of them, thanks. —darklordtrom 09:01, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

New Game

Reverse Chronological?

This page is in reverse-chronological order, right? Incidentally, does anyone have all of the release dates of the games we're missing? ~Enervation 02:34, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Concerning Trophies

I noticed that games released since Deerling's Season Slider had a trophy system. Seeing the trophy list provided in the article for that game, if we do that for the other games with trophies, the article may be overloaded. Should we put trophy listings on a page of their own? That way, they would be in one place and saves room for other games that may come.Berrenta (talk) 01:24, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Right now, I am planning out the trophy page. Once I get the basics covered, I may put it on the site then. Also, we might consider moving the "pre-revamp" games to a page of their own, if that's fine, too.Berrenta (talk) 00:46, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

New Screenshots

I have created three screen shots for the three newer games I added in a recent edit (Pokémon Pulse!, Chesnaughts Spiky Shield, and Floette Float). However, as a newer user/contributor, I am unable to upload them to the Archives. Until I have time to begin contributing to some Archive edits, which I have not yet done, I will not likely have upload privileges anytime soon. If I could get the PNG files to someone who can upload them, I would be happy to update the code to add them to this page. --Marlofkark (talk) 18:59, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

Split page?

Alright, so when I made this page, there were like 3 games on the new site and 4 old games. Now, there's almost 40 and each one has a pretty long description, except for the ones that haven't been written up yet. I think it might be best to eventually split this up in some way so it doesn't get even more absurdly long as they release more games. As for how to split it, I have no idea besides giving each game a page, but that might result in too many short pages. Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 19:04, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Delphox's Fiery Escape

I remember there was a Pokemon game with Delphox why is it not included here. It's not on Delphox's page either. https://www.google.com/search?q=delphfox%27s+fiery+escape+game&sca_upv=1
