It's been exactly two months since I updated the main site for Poliwager, and in that time I had a birthday (October 19), so now I'm 17! That's pretty exciting, and coming up, on the 27th is Poliwager's 3rd year anniversary! I actually have content for the main site this time though, and it's a page detailing the Exp. All in the first generation of Pokémon games. It's one of those concepts that's a little hard to understand, so I put it into my own words and hopefully it helps!

No, I'm not dead, in case you were wondering why there hasn't been any updates in a while. In fact, there has been a few updates to the main site for Poliwager, but there's been even more updates being done on the Poliwager Adoptables. There's been a really cool luck based number guessing game added, tons more Pokémon, and lots of small things that make the site more enjoyable. If you haven't already, please go check it out! A few days ago, I affiliated with Takharii, who runs Takharii's Stuff, a cool Pokémon website! The last thing I wanted to tell all of you is that starting a few days ago, Google ads have been added to the Adoptables and Forums. But! Don't worry about them being annoying. I made them only show for guests, and they won't be on the main site here. Hopefully I'll get a little bit of money to help run the site.

I've finally gotten around to linking my Twitter page and Twitter buttons on Poliwager. You can find my link here, as well as on the About page. If there's any page you want to share to your followers, simply press the button on the bottom of any page and it'll let you do that real easy.

Since I've been playing through Sapphire, for my first time, I updated the Breeding and Eggs page for Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.
The Poliwager Adoptables has something entirely new as of today. The way adoptions are handled is different. Read more about it here.
Last but not least for today, I just wanted to remind you that the Poliwager Adoptables Raising Competition ends in only a little more than a week, so be sure to get that Dwebble raised and posted on the topic on the forums!
6/20/11
I added a new image to the Humor page. Today is my dad's birthday as well, just wanted to give a shoutout to him, and a thanks for helping pay for the site and all that good stuff. Thanks Dad!
I have some big plans for the Adoptables right now, and it's already in the works, so you'll be seeing it soon!
6/11/11
I've updated the About page with current stuff about me. I also finally made a style switcher that works! Check it out, it's on the right side menu. There's a darker blue style, the current green one, and the Bellsprout style that was used for April Fools Day this year. Simply click the style you want to select it. I'll probably make more styles in the future for lighter colors, but for now, enjoy!
5/31/11
The Bellsprout page has been updated to include Pokémon Black and White information.
5/30/11

4/18/11
The Pokémon Version Exclusives page now has the exclusives for Pokémon Black and White.
The Poliwager Adoptables have been getting more and more Pokémon added to it, including a special Easter Happiny, just for the week around Easter. The event will end April 26, so get one while you can! Look for this description: A green, pink, and blue egg that comes out around Easter time.
4/2/11
Just kidding! Poliwager being renamed Bellsprouter was just an April Fool's Day joke! Fooled ya! I hope you enjoyed that fun little surprise. The About page has been updated for the occasion, and there is a full page on the joke here.
4/1/11
Introducing: The new mascot! Bellsprout! Poliwager has been renamed Bellsprouter due to my recent obsession with Bellsprout. So there has also been a page added for Bellsprout, telling you everything you need to know about it! I hope you all love the new style!
3/19/11
Adding to the Black and White pages, Tympole, the new tadpole Pokémon, has a page dedicated to it.
There's a brand new iPad Wallpaper with the Poliwag evolutions. This one is the first iPad wallpaper, and it looks really nice on the big display. Also up today is a new Apple Retina Display wallpaper.
3/18/11
The first Pokémon Black and White page is up! The page is on healing locations in the game that aren't Pokémon Centers. Note that this is a work in progress because I have not beaten the game yet, so I don't know where all the locations are. Enjoy!
3/4/11
Have a Retina Display Wallpaper with the Poliwag evolutions. I've been making more wallpapers because it seems that people really like using them.
2/19/11
I've made a wallpaper with Grass and Bug Type Pokémon with the Pokémon's Dream World artwork. Enjoy!
Lately I've been adding new Pokémon to the Poliwager Adoptables as well. You are now able to adopt Pichu, Caterpie and more new ones.
Evergreenn made another wallpaper, featuring Shikijika, a Fifth Generation Pokémon.
1/21/11
I made a wallpaper for The Beatles, featuring the image in The Beatles section on Apple's site. It's very simple, but I think a lot of people will enjoy it.
1/9/11
I've made a whole page on Poliwhirl, Poliwrath and Politoed, just like the page on Poliwag that's already out. I also updated some small things on the Poliwag page, including adding Dream World Artwork and a trozei sprite.
Over the past few weeks, Poliwager Forums has been getting more styling work done on it. I turned the RedSilver3 style into a Fire Pokémon style and edited some minor things on there.
1/1/11
Happy New Years! First update of 2011 is a new New Years 2011 Pokémon wallpaper! I hope you all have a great holiday and enjoy the wallpaper!
12/24/10
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! To celebrate, I made a Christmas Pokémon wallpaper. I hope you all have a great holiday!

Introducing: Poliwager Forums 2.0! I'm very pleased to announce that starting today, Poliwager Forums is on an actual subdomain of Poliwager.net! Go join the new forums and continue having fun talking to other members!
On another note, today is also Poliwager's 2nd birthday! Two years ago today I made Poliwager, and boy, has it changed.
Expect to see more updates regarding Poliwager Forums coming soon!
11/24/10
A page detailing the Technician Ability is up. Read about the ability that can be a little bit confusing.
11/13/10
I know it's been a while since I made any updates to Poliwager, but don't worry. I have a page in mind that will be up soon. For now, I added a Retina Display wallpaper for iPhones and iPod touches. I also added the code to the site for rounded corners on the menu for Opera.
If you haven't voiced your opinion on the Poliwager Forums move to Poliwager.net, please do so!
10/19/10
Today is my birthday! As a celebration of the event, I asked Gluttony to make a few sprites for a special Birthday Poliwag available only today on the Adoptables! Look for the line, "... seems to be extra special." Go get one before it's too late!
10/5/10
Over the course of the month of October, I'll be releasing fall and Halloween type Pokémon for the adoptables, such as ghosts. Today I added Misdreavus. Come back in a few days to see what other Pokémon eggs have been added!
9/21/10
I've been doing more work on the Adoptables portion of Poliwager, and there's more being added every day as far as features go. I made a new wallpaper for a song. It's a pretty simple one for the song "Forever Yellow Skies" by The Cranberries. Last but not least for this update, I added an image to the humor page.
9/13/10
I made a whole page on Version Exclusives for every Pokémon game. So this should be a one stop resource if you're checking what Pokémon are only available in what game.
8/24/10
I've been doing some work on the Poliwager Adoptables, and made the level up pages show the owner and how many clicks the egg or Pokémon has. I also added a few new adoptable Pokémon.
8/2/10
I've made a wallpaper for iPhones and iPod touches today. I'll probably make more eventually. For now, enjoy!
7/19/10
Yesterday we got our first affiliate, FireChao.com, and today was our second, Pokereview. I've added the banners to the side menu underneath Site. I'd like to welcome both of them! If anyone else wants to affiliate with us here, please check out the forums for more information.
7/12/10
I redid some links here on Poliwager, including moving some files to folders one level up, so for example, instead of poliwager.net/hgss.shtml, it's poliwager.net/hgss. Also, all the old links redirect to the new ones, so you don't have to worry. The links that I did were the HeartGold and SoulSilver, Diamond and Pearl, and Red, Blue and Yellow pages. The other ones will stay as is for now.
Started just this week, Poliwager Forums is having a posting contest! We're aiming for 20,000 posts by the end of summer. To join in, check out this topic.
6/22/10
I've made a few new sprites over the past few days, and I'll be doing more of them soon. Also, if you haven't been over to Poliwager Forums in a while, now would be a good time to check it out. We're having more and more people online because of summer time. Come join in the fun!
6/14/10
Since I felt it was one of those pages that not too many people know about, I made a page about Trade Evolutions for all of the Pokémon games. I hope this proves to be a useful page for people!
The Poliwager Adoptables has gotten a few new adoptables as well. I don't want to give them away, but be sure to check the descriptions for the eggs!
6/10/10
Well, I'm officially out of school for the summer, so updates to Poliwager should be more often. First off, a page all about the Pokéwalker. I actually wrote this the other day, but forgot about uploading it until now. I'll be making more pages and more updates to the Adoptables site soon!
6/4/10
I've added two pictures to the Humor page. I hope you found them as funny as I did when I saw them!
I also added a picture that I took (that's why it's not excellent) of what getting an Apricorn in HeartGold and SoulSilver looks like and placed it on the Apricorns page.
On another note, the Poliwager Adoptables site is going well. I've made a few more adoptable Pokémon and a few other changes to the site overall. I hope you check it out if you haven't already!
6/1/10
Introducing the Poliwager Adoptables! Right now all you can adopt is a Poliwag. Well, two Poliwags, because one evolves into Poliwrath and the other into Politoed. Though I'm not giving away which of them evolve into what and when, you'll have to figure that out yourselves! I'd like it if you could join and level up each others' pets. If you have an suggestions on which Pokémon I should implement, please post it on the Forums. Enjoy!
5/29/10
Welcome to the future of Poliwager. Poliwager now has it's very own domain name, Poliwager.net. Please fix any links that you may have saved or posted anywhere to have the new domain. The old Macideedoo.com links will point to this url for a while, until my dad has to completely shut down the server here. That is also why I decided to get a domain name of my own for Poliwager. As always, I'll be updating things here in the coming days, especially as school ends.

I made some wallpaper sized images in my digital photography class that I thought I should share with the world. One is of Cyndaquil and a few other Pokémon in a montage, and the other is of Shiki from The World Ends with You. Enjoy!
5/2/10
I was thinking the other day, and noticed there's been a little questioning about the move Pay Day. So I made a page detailing it. It has everything about the move, from Red and Blue to HeartGold and SoulSilver.
5/1/10
Another Firefox Persona is up. Since I might be making more of these, I made a page on Personas.
A new PokéPicks is up as well. Check out the video and go vote on Poliwager Forums.
4/30/10
I found out about Firefox Personas the other day, and I think they're pretty cool. So, I decided that I'd make my own, even though I mainly use Safari. Here's a link to the Poliwag one I made. A link to this can be found in the Site menu on the right.
4/27/10
I've changed the menu around again, this time to add a General Pokémon section. I also changed a few small things in the Shiny and Stats pages. They now include Red, Blue and Yellow info.
4/23/10
Continuing with the HeartGold and SoulSilver updates, I rewrote the Breeding and Eggs page. In it, I made a section about breeding and eggs on HeartGold and SoulSilver, and I wrote a small part about the Day Care in Red, Blue and Yellow, since we have Red, Blue and Yellow pages here on Poliwager as well. I'm not sure how I'll be able to organize the menu once I get most of the pages rewritten to apply to HeartGold and SoulSilver, but I'll figure it out.
4/20/10
HeartGold and SoulSilver have arrive at Poliwager! I started with a page detailing Apricorns. I will be making more HeartGold and SoulSilver pages in the coming days and converting some pages to fit both Diamond and Pearl and HeartGold and SoulSilver.
4/17/10
After meaning to do it for a long time, I reordered the side menu. It was surely a mess before. Now everything is neatly organized by name. Also, I finally split up the menu on the other side of the page. Now the Site section is on the right.
I added a section to the Poliwag page for info on HeartGold and SoulSilver and the PokéWalker.
4/3/10
April Fool's Day was on Thursday, and Poliwager was done up for the holiday. To see pictures of Poliwager and Poliwager Forums, click here. I put a link to this page on the About the Site page.
3/17/10
Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone! Poliwager was in need of a little color adjustment, so I went ahead and changed around some colors including the background and titles. I will also make a new banner later, so check back for that!
Update: New banner is up, along with a rounded menu if you're using Firefox or Safari. Enjoy!
2/21/10
I fixed all of the links on the site. Now instead of showing the .shtml, they just have the title of the page.
2/19/10
A new Apple Wallpaper is up that I made. I fixed a few small things around the site, including the border around the top banner image.
1/31/10
A new Sprite is up. I also fixed a few small things around the site. Enjoy!
Two new Wallpapers are up too, these ones are smaller, to fit smaller screens.
1/30/10
A new Wallpaper is up, made by my sister!
1/29/10
The Poliwager Tier List has been updated, with moving a few Ubers to OverUsed.
The February Poliwager Forums Tournament has been posted. Again, set up by Jolteon. Join in the fun today!
Also, a small thing. I added 3 buttons in the footer of the page. The first is Poliwager, my GPX+ Pokémon, and the mascot of Poliwager. The second and third are topsite buttons. Click those to help Poliwager and Poliwager Forums become more popular!
1/19/10
A new page for Links is up, containing some sites I thought I should show anyone that comes here.
The older updates can be found below Site in the menu on the page called News Archive.
1/17/10
A new Politoed sprite is up. I think it turned out pretty good.
Also, Poliwager Forums is hosting a Pokémon WiFi Tournament. Jolteon is organizing it, and the details can be found here. Join in the fun!
I fixed the menu too, so now it lights up when you mouse over it anywhere on the line.
1/15/10
I've made some Wallpapers for everyone! Have fun!

1/3/10
Hey everyone! Know what this is? Poliwager in HTML!
I'll be using this address and format for making Poliwager from now on. The new site URL is: poliwager.macideedoo.com. Much easier to remember and to type in.
