So have I... it sure has been doing well.
You can answer this question with a link alone. There's no rule against it; it's just discouraged because clarifying the info of a link is a friendlier and a more intelligent way of answering.

PokemonDb v1

As you can see it was very plain. It was mostly a "proof of concept". Later I made a proper design, so here's version 2:

PokemonDb v2

And for posterity, here's how it looks now in version 3:

Ah, version 2! I remember it dearly. I used this site for so long, this is what it was like when I first started using it in...2012, I think? I'm taking a trip down memory lane here, thanks for uploading this!
