Essentially, a button that can take you to any page on the site excluding the home page.

Maybe it could exclude PokeBase questions so it only takes you to Pokemon-related pages, or we can have more than 1 (Random Page, Random Question, Random User, etc.)

Why would we need this
There is literally no point in Random User.
I think it might be more exciting with Random Question because there's billions of questions on the Pokebase.
It wouldn't be any of any use and it's unlikely to be implemented, it would be fun to use.
Exactly indi. Fun suggestion! +1
I enjoy this kind of thing. +1
Something extra to waste my time on. +1
-1 for being Scarf and sucky ar battletoads
This would only be a pointless feature added to a list of things that we actually need doing.
It is completely pointless +1
The count's at +3 :D

@Trapinchinator: We don't. It's a small suggestion that could be made in less than 5 minutes.
@Indi: There's not billions of questions...not even a million. Only about ~25,000 iirc.
@Pika: u fookin scrub m8 i beat stage 8 m8
@Sciz: Exactly. Again, it can be made in ~5 minutes.
Exaggeration, exaggeration.
And seriously, five minutes? I'm assuming you know more about coding than me, so in that case I would want this +1.
5 minutes because it's basic html.

Plus each question has an id, and we can make the database pages have an id, and rngesus will select one, redirect user, and bam!

I think this is one of those ideas that is nice but will stay low-priority for a long while :D

You can kind of do this yourself anyway. On Pokebase you can use the related questions to jump to different questions. For Pokemon/moves/abilities you can look at the lists and scroll up and down a bit and click a random one.

Or go to http://randompokemon.com, I do this sometimes when I’ve made changes and want to “spot-check” random pages to check for errors.
