Thanks! You know, you could just answer that.

That takes me back... anyway, you can't answer a question with just a link, it's against the rules. So, he really can't answer with that.

But the OP asked for a screenshot? Im confused on how that rule works still.

And also, what Tender commented is the way back machine. You could use it to see what database was like in 2010 or 2011, etc. Just click the stuff at the top.

Holy crap it's come a long ways. I joined in the time of the good ol' Scyther and Electivire.

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.

i like the old one

Agh! I-it used to be a S-syther?!?

Well what did you think? The scizor hatched directly from an egg? Scyther needs no incense.

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:

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

do you have any rough ideas on when each updates are made? like what year? sorry to be a bother

---

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!
