dat april fools. such disappoint. wow.
this april fools is somewhat disappointing. 3/10 but you already know that would you.
|
Underwhelming so far but quite funny.
I think they change randomly (?) |
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 :(
|
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. |
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! |
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. |
The emulation/rom hacking section doesn't seem to be changing.
Is that intentional? |
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.
|
Lmao, it's your faults for whining in the past, kiddies. We try something tame for once, and it's not good enough. Smh.
|
You guys got what y'all wanted: a prank where no random bans have been placed.

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.
|
Quote:
Yeah. Bleeding sarcasm intended. |
I'll go ahead and make cookies and coffee for Audy. AND YOU ARE ALL NOT GETTING ANY.
|
I don't know about you but I had a good laugh.

:'( 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. |
This april fool jokes are fun.
But I wonder why no one touched the Emulation and Rom hacking section? Hmm.. |
Quote:
|
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
|
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
|
I was so confused, but its pretty cool. I like it, good job guys! I understand this wasn't all easy.
|
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 |
Hi is this the adult movies section
|
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. |
Quote:
As for this joke... TPP randbats win. Server: 1, Forum: 0. c: NO THIS ISN'T WAR IT'S FRIENDLY COMPETITION. |
"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:) |

|
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." |
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! |
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. |
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
|
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.... |
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?! |

Lets change the threads subject to how awesome and cool Forever is |

It's okay staff. As someone who's been here for all the crazy pranks, I appreciate a simple April Fools. <3
Now that Chit Chat Cafe closure, we need to talk about that... :p |
We'll see if it it's closing after today. I'm OK with saying that I'm wrong.
|
You guys are so last year. The revolution's long since begun.
Edit: WAIT THERE IS TWO PAGES ARGH |
Clearly missing the Fabio factor this year! |

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. |

I dun like this one, i'm completely lost in a sea of unfamiliar titles.
|
that's it i quit pc
because it ain't April fools on PC if somebody doesn't threaten to leave ps: 10/10 APD of the decade |
Quote:
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." |
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.

I thought it was soooooo lame until I saw they change. Some of them are sooooo ♥♥♥♥ing funny. Love it.
You did good kids. |
Next year we'll make balloons fly out your computer screen and flying elephants to appear at your door, we promise.

Also, I'm just glad this isn't like that slowpoke theme we had XD |

Haaah, I am very amused with the titles xD
Going to be refreshing for more! |
Gotta say this one was the best!!!
"Whiner's Corner Got ripped off? Come here to whine about it!" (Trader Reviews) xD nice one mods!! |
I would say this year was pretty sweeeeeet compared to last year and the year before. Glad to see ~more people~ are loving this! Enjoy it while it laaaaasts~
|
The point of April Fool's pranks are to annoy you, soooooo technically it's mission accomplished for us so far.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA |
can someone remind me what april fools prank was done last year?
|
Could someone explain this... Lerroux thing?
On a different note I love this April Fools Day event, so yeah, good job everyone. |
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. |
Quote:
I believe everyone username in postbits was turned into a random Pokemon, but I may be wrong :o Just wanted to say though nice job on the prank guys! I honestly think it's a good one and I've gotten a good laugh or two from them XD |
HUZZAHHH! In commemoration of the Digicommunity revolution I call forth the powers of Digimon Card Battle. FEEL IT. FEEL IT. AND LOVE IT.
|
I hope you like my Vietnamese Crystal forum. After all, the trashy strolling is an eyesore.

read this and tell me if the art and design title and description aren't perfect. I can't copy paste on mobile so I'm linking our convo. XD y u be so against the holy ass and dicks, pc?! ;; |
DERO DON'T IT'S INAPPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG MINDS
but here's the conversation Quote:

help I'm dying again
this may be small but it's so funny I said small...lolololo |

edit - ♥♥♥♥ you need to quote the whole thing, PC! Whatevss I'm outta here. Ass and dick or gtfo. jk |
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.
|
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.
|
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. |
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. |
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. |
Can someone set up a petition for Lerroux 2.0
:3 |
I think the April Fool's day stuff has been great. Honestly , and not to offend anyone, but the only ones who seem to have a problem with this are teenagers. And we all know how fickle they are
|
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. |
Boo whiny kids. Boooooo...
Mods, Admins, etc. Thanks for the laughs. You guys got me in trouble at work like 7 times. Love ya~ |
Quote:
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! |
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. |
I was hoping for fake staff bans but it was probably done already.
This is alright, I guess. None of my friends really cared about April Fools. |

Personally the best one for me was the word filter one, with the "spam isn't fish here because its applesauce" bs and word switching that happened. 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. |
everyone is monster_coach
catch elfs now |
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!

Quote:
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..? Quote:
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 Quote:

--- 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...
|
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
