You've Accessed the Underground Archive!

Hello friends, and welcome to my janky pokémon site!

Much like my underground base in the gen IV games, this is a space where I can haphazardly store the random Sinnoh stuff that's important to me and that I want to keep on hand. Is it a bit of a mess? Yes. Are there still boulders in the way? You know it. But you know what else? We've got a kotatsu and a computer. And somehow they're both functional!

So please, get cozy on the dirt floor (or the one chair), sift through the miscellanea, and stay a while. Whether it's historical, homebrew, or headcanon, you might just find some information stashed away somewhere that's of interest to you.

December 5, 2025:

I've put up the bare-bones presentation of my progress through my ridiculous, long-running goal of chaining every chainable shiny in Sinnoh. I'm planning to write at length about what inspired this quest and what it was like getting into chaining back in 2010, as well as add pages that catalog my full living shiny dex and other such things. But that's for later. In the meantime, enjoy your first peek into the abyss of my most bizarre video game compulsion.

Hey, we did it! We got the site up and running. You'll notice that we're still heavily under construction with a lot of unclickable, struck-through items in the table of contents on your left, but those will come in time. I'm just excited to finally launch this project and look forward to building it out as we go!

The most important thing was to get the Gen IV Shiny Tracker Kit available for anyone who might be interested, and now that it is, please check it out! It's a customizable, all-in-one HTML kit for visualizing your shiny pokémon collections up through the Sinnoh National Dex. You can set it up on your own personal websites, but there are instructions for using it locally, too. Just follow the readme and have fun!

(And also, as a random sidenote: If you've ever thought about making your own indie pokémon site... do it. Information disappears rapidly when hosting services and/or social media platforms fall out of favor or go under; the more info that's out there in multiple places, the better!)
