dat april fools. such disappoint. wow.
 
this april fools is somewhat disappointing. 3/10 but you already know that would you.

Skystrike March 31st, 2014 10:13 PM

Underwhelming so far but quite funny.

I think they change randomly (?)

Salzorrah March 31st, 2014 10:15 PM

if this is something like pokebok did in 2012, im still waiting for the big bang tho. unless there's more, for me its still the worst one i've seen so far :(

Hikamaru March 31st, 2014 10:15 PM

Absolutely agreed, it's all just a bunch of sections getting crazy names and their descriptions getting rewritten. I'm hoping they can throw some more stuff in or otherwise I'll call this the worst April Fool's due to the huge letdown after such hype.

But they do sometimes change names when you refresh the index.

curiousnathan March 31st, 2014 10:21 PM

NO LERROUX THIS YEAR? NO SHINY POKEMANS THIS YEAR?

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! HIDE YO CHILDREN, HIDE YO WIFE! RUN, SCREAM AAAAAAAAH!

Cherrim March 31st, 2014 10:22 PM

I was really expecting/hoping this thread would be an april fools itself because I'm pretty sure the staff is incredibly tired of hearing "this sucks" reactions to their plans. It is not easy to come up with a prank every single year and it's not fun when the first reactions are "oh, you should have done better".

Fingers crossed that I'm missing your joke somewhere.

Skystrike March 31st, 2014 10:24 PM

The emulation/rom hacking section doesn't seem to be changing.

Is that intentional?

moon March 31st, 2014 10:37 PM

What do you mean, we just revamped a few things. April Fools jokes have upset so many people in the past so we're just skipping it altogether this year.

Honest March 31st, 2014 10:46 PM

Lmao, it's your faults for whining in the past, kiddies. We try something tame for once, and it's not good enough. Smh.

Meganium March 31st, 2014 10:54 PM

You guys got what y'all wanted: a prank where no random bans have been placed.

What, there's no random bans? :(:(:( so boring!

Let's all just kick back and snuggle up to Audy. And also, visit Digimon General while you're at it. Pokémon is so last year.

Lerroux was way better and caused a rage storm.

Try imagining what the mods had to go through, cleaning that mess up, especially after the warm reception it got.


Yeah. Bleeding sarcasm intended.

Meganium March 31st, 2014 11:03 PM

I'll go ahead and make cookies and coffee for Audy. AND YOU ARE ALL NOT GETTING ANY.

Zise March 31st, 2014 11:09 PM

I don't know about you but I had a good laugh.

But I'm enjoying it...

:'(

Even if it is admittedly on a smaller scale than the other jokes/pranks (LERROUX) it's good to be able to have a good chuckle. And watch as digital monsters from the internet take over a Pokemon foru.

Kakarot1212 March 31st, 2014 11:11 PM

This april fool jokes are fun.

But I wonder why no one touched the Emulation and Rom hacking section? Hmm..

Isn't a april fools joke meant to make people act like that? If people left they would end up returning anyway.

Omicron March 31st, 2014 11:13 PM

I honestly think this is hilarious. It is a well thought and very funny joke. But alas you can never please everyone.

Anyway, great job guys!

but i love the drama ;~; specially since im leaving pc forever lol

Blake Belladonna April 1st, 2014 12:32 AM

I personally thought this AFD was a nice change of hype. It's good to have something tamed and mellow to balance the craziness of the predecessors. xD

countryemo April 1st, 2014 12:49 AM

I was so confused, but its pretty cool. I like it, good job guys! I understand this wasn't all easy.

derozio April 1st, 2014 12:53 AM

So Jo was lazy and didn't come up with funny ♥♥♥♥. JOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I really, really like this. Granted, I wasn't here last year to experience the insanity that apparently lerroux was but I honestly think sometimes less is actually more.

And I saw staff's posts in the staff forums about how it was a pain in the arse too, haha. So yeah, this is good enough. I like it. Culture and Media's made me chuckle :p

Edit: One time cynthia punched me in the face and I enjoi'd (gintama joke) it lmfao. You masochists LOL

Hound of Justice April 1st, 2014 1:17 AM

Hi is this the adult movies section

Spinosaurus April 1st, 2014 1:26 AM

It's the best april fools.

At least I can deal with this one, past years were so god damn annoying to browse the forum. Last year was absolutely terrible having to click on someone's profile to know who they are. :/

Kudos to staff for keeping it minimal.

Meh I was a mod at the time and it wasn't annoying to clean up at all. It was fairly self contained and fun tbh.

As for this joke... TPP randbats win. Server: 1, Forum: 0. c:

Ghost Lunis April 1st, 2014 2:12 AM

"One time, Cynthia punched me in the face and it was AWESOME"...Omg I rolled when I seen that. Good April fools day, good.
I am sad I didn't get to see anything huge happen though since this is the first year I have been active at April fools day. But that is my fault, no one elses. Good job today everyone:)

Hi there cutie with 33k posts

KidCarter93 April 1st, 2014 3:08 AM

Even though I've been around to see a fair few AFD changes, this is my first as a member and I'm glad it's minimalistic.
Some years have been crazy and it's good to be part of one which is just nice and calm instead.

" You can't please all of the people all of the time, just some of the people some of the time."

Candy April 1st, 2014 3:16 AM

I actually expected something lethal this year. This is the only reason I come back at April 1st every year lol.

But this is already a good prank. I appreciate the effort into the titles. xD

Also, Digimon Revolution!

Homura Akemi April 1st, 2014 3:35 AM

The titles were a good laugh. Some nice ones were the X/Y ones about Pokebank, and the Anime and Manga title relating to Honnouji Academy. (if you couldn't tell, I'm quite the Kill La Kill fan).

Good job, staff :) gave me a lovely giggle for an afternoon.

derozio April 1st, 2014 3:43 AM

KlK reference ftw! :D This is seriously awesome. I didn't even know they changed. Brb gonna go read all of 'em!

also, on an unrelated note, I trolled people on an anime group on facebook. Called One Piece, Death Note and Code Geass terrible series (you know, some of the most popular ones) and got 200+ comments in over an hour with a lot of them calling me an existence who should've never been born, an a-hole, a dick, a c-word, a retard, moron and someone who deserved to die and stuff. Good laugh. XD

They totatly had me this morning with the one that said pokemon z coming out april 2nd... I should've known found out it was and april fools after i went back and hit refresh lol

Nah April 1st, 2014 3:59 AM

This is my first AFD on PC, and I like it. I'd rather not deal with crazy ♥♥♥♥ like what has suppossedly happened in previous years. Some of these forum titles/subtitles are great. A few of my favorites include:

"One time, Cynthia punched me in the face and it was AWESOME."

"Pick a God and pray! It's not an anime reference, but..." (just because I do get the reference)

"and tell Nova to stop talking about RTS"

At least it shows that the staff has a decent sense of humor. AFD jokes don't have to be outrageous for them to be good....

Pendraflare April 1st, 2014 4:01 AM

I think it's funny enough. ALL CAPS FOR THE WIN!!!!! And some of the descriptions are just over the top.

edit: The only one they didn't change is the 5th gen. Y U GUYS BEING 5TH GEN-CISTS?!

Now that Chit Chat Cafe closure, we need to talk about that... :p

Skystrike April 1st, 2014 4:37 AM

We'll see if it it's closing after today. I'm OK with saying that I'm wrong.

Did you really have to post this thread? :\ Maybe I'm just kinda sore because it took a while to get all the staff together and then for Audy and I (mostly Audy in fairness) to write the over 1000 lines of code that it took to change these forum names for the sake of one day.

I'll turn it off for you if you're really bothered by it, but... idk. I feel like it was nice that we did something simple this year and that it doesn't always have to be massive. These things are supposed to be a bit of fun, not something for people to pick flaws with since they're not disruptive enough or whatever.

or maybe i'm just grumpy or something idk.

Only for them to not log on ever again the next day.

A couple of other good ones I saw:


"HOENN REMAKES CONFIRMED! Haha, you wish."


"Don't get a Mac. Just go get a Cordelia instead."

Legobricks April 1st, 2014 7:04 AM

I actually like this one. I'm still here on this day and I normally just leave. Something small that doesn't make the site feel unusable is nice.

Spinosaurus April 1st, 2014 9:20 AM

Everyone was a different Pokemon each post or something and you couldn't know who is who unless you checked their profile. And iirc the section places were different for some reason.

It was really annoying.

Lerroux was an admin that took over the site and conformed it to his wishes. Fired staff members who disagreed with him, and was just an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to deal with. We made a fake staff forum where we discussed some things about a month before April Fools and started fabricating discussions, then made that forum public. It was a lot of fun to be on the staff during it. I think it was more fun for us than it was a member, though.

  2. Fairy
    God tell me about it. There's pretty much nothing better than logging on and getting my dose of ass and dick. Best forum to moderate, imo. I seriously wanted it to read:
    Ass & Dick
    Hentai central and everything you didn't know you desire.

    BUT THAT'S CRUDE no matter how much we love asses and dicks and/or the combination of the two.
  3. Dante
    Inappropriate my ass and dick. Nothing is more appropriate than some ass and dick. :U
  4. Fairy
    I DIDN'T GET THE MEMO APPARENTLY
    but don't worry, a certain grass type move is going to fix it right up when he gets a chance.

    AND I THOUGHT ABOUT DOING THAT BUT IT WOULD BE INAPPROPRIATE BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I HAD TO RESTRAIN MYSELF

starseed galaxy auticorn April 1st, 2014 10:23 AM

I agree. I was expecting something big and intimidating like always. O_o I already pretty much know the forums line up, so this prank is kind of useless for me. That's the beauty of having a picture memory.

Arma April 1st, 2014 10:40 AM

I think this year's Joke is pretty good. XD All the references to the ROM-hacking forums are hilarious, especially considering the fact that the ROM-hacking forum's name didn't get changed. XD ...Well It ain't changing for me.

Star-Lord April 1st, 2014 10:47 AM

I think this is really cute actually, at least when you compare it to the one two years ago which imo ended on a sour note.

Either way take a lot of these with a grain of salt imo this was fine.

Nakuzami April 1st, 2014 11:32 AM

I was only on for part of the day with Lerroux, so I didn't get too much of that fun. But honestly, that was fun, from what I was here for.

But complaints about today? Why? I'm laughing so much. (read: sitting at the computer with a straight-ish face, laughing internally and sometimes grinning externally) xD I got on PC at school and was so confused for a few seconds I don't even.
I have a tendency to miss big events, which makes me sad and asdfghjkl; so this is actually a nice change of pace for me.

disciplish April 1st, 2014 12:15 PM

I got on and I bit my lip before bursting into laughter as I scrolled down.

I don't think anything bigger than that was necessary. It wasn't too big, nor too subtle anymore. Although, Lerroux was fun while it lasted.

Lost Lore April 1st, 2014 2:28 PM

I got on expecting something for April Fools... I was not disappointed. All of the forum titles are absolutely hysterical. I can't pick a favourite.

...Okay I think Pidgeyland is my favourite, but that is my personal bias speaking. Although the Vietnamese Crystal reference made me laugh, too.

Miracle Seed April 1st, 2014 2:41 PM

In all seriousness, I actually don't mind this joke, especially with the 3rd Generation section title which is still saying that it is not the rom hacking section. xD

Good job staff and stuff!

Spinor April 1st, 2014 3:05 PM

I was a little underwhelmed at first too.

But then I went back to the home page.

And for some reason the fact that the titles change made it freaking hilarious.

Really, they've done so many things over the years, that they can't exactly re-use. Someone is always gonna be disappointed, no matter what the prank is.

I'm getting a kick out of the section names, actually.

+1 for Game Dev keeping it's current name.

Better that then rehashing something previously done. Especially if members are gonna leave and pitch a fit if something over the top happened.

Took me 5 minutes to find the Battle Corner, lol.
I like Showdown's April Fools Joke :P

LOL; I came on here specifically expecting an April Fool's 2014 event. The background was the standard "Arceus" one (current default skin when you're not logged in) and I was like "Aww...no event this year? :(" Then I saw the sub-forum titles. {XD} I think Pokemon X and Y's subforum getting renamed to "HOENN REMAKES CONFIRMED" was my favorite. :P Wow, and I didn't know these were randomized!

At least I can deal with this one, past years were so god damn annoying to browse the forum. Last year was absolutely terrible having to click on someone's profile to know who they are. :/

Kudos to staff for keeping it minimal.

Um, I think the same thing is happening this year; everyone is listed as "monster_coach" for me. I got confused for a few seconds; I was like "WTF? Why are you replying to/agreeing with/disagreeing with yourself, monster_coach"? So much double-posting, or so I initially thought. XD

As for this joke... TPP randbats win. Server: 1, Forum: 0. c:
NO THIS ISN'T WAR IT'S FRIENDLY COMPETITION.

Good to hear that mods had fun and that the clean-up work needed wasn't too intensive in past years!

Also, hai Forever! ^^ Haven't seen a post from you in like...forever! Although maybe that's cuz I'm somewhat inactive at times.. >.< Also, do I spy a Twitch Plays Pokemon reference...idk what randbats are, though..?

I'll turn it off for you if you're really bothered by it, but... idk. I feel like it was nice that we did something simple this year and that it doesn't always have to be massive. These things are supposed to be a bit of fun, not something for people to pick flaws with since they're not disruptive enough or whatever.

Yeah...I'm probably going to have to revisit this thread tomorrow to figure out who everyone is again. XD

or maybe i'm just grumpy or something idk.

I personally like reading everyone's feedback for the annual April Fool's Day events here on PokeCommunity. I kind of wish there was an "April Fool's Day enable/disable" button (and/or profile setting? :D seriously, even though such a profile setting would most likely only receive use once a year, it could cut down on complaints quite a bit), so that people who don't want to partake in the event can still have their classic forum layout. I, for one, have enjoyed the April Fool's Day events that I've engaged in so far (IIRC, the Bidoof one?, the "shiny Pokemon for avatar" one, the "word filter APPLESAUCES" one, and this 2014 one!) :)

And I guess one's definition of "massive/simple" varies; it can be quite disorienting on this website if you're not familiar with each subforum's main page title and/or position. XD And the current "monster_coach" username filter isn't helping things.. :P

It was a lot of fun to be on the staff during it. I think it was more fun for us than it was a member, though.

I really need to go hunt down the info on this "Lerroux" event; it sucks that I missed it! >.< It seems like a "you had to be there" moment (as do most April Fool's Day events, arguably) that keeps getting referenced after the fact, and I get lost/can't join in on the reference.. T_T

This. It seems difficult to think up events for each year, and presumably most of them are going to be username changes, avatar changes, sub-forum/thread title changes, and/or the changing of the utilized forum background/skin, with some randomizers thrown in the mix. But in any case, I applaud the effort for this year's April Fool's Day event, and eagerly await the one for 2015! :)

---

Also, for any staff members reading this, could you please archive the text that was used in this year's April Fool's Day (2014) event? I'd appreciate and I (maybe other users as well?) would love to see what all of the available text options were for the main page's text randomizer, if possible! :) I mean, it would be a shame for that "1000+ lines of code" to go to waste after just one day...!

Hoenn Remakes Confirmed made me jump. Then I remembered...

Timbjerr April 1st, 2014 7:59 PM

I'll be the first to admit, this is pretty much par for the course for an online AF gag. Not as epic as Applesauces day or Sloooowpoke year, but it's acceptable, if a but subdued compared to past gags. :D
