Wall for Bird??? (page 5)

I'm stubborn like Mr. Fish. That's why I said your ghost is speaking to me.

And I love Quilava and Torracat so I love my Grav as much as heck.
In fact, ask me to rate a random Fire-type and I'll most likely give it a 10/10 outta cuteness.

Minus the Emboar evolution line because it thinks it can take Lechonk's status as a pig.

Ooh, so your ghost is talking to me and my whole life is a lie?

Are you dead?
Or not...

Nope, I opened the site today out of curiosity

Yes

I am not doing the nuzlocke now because I have to finish Violet and finish Shield

Yup!

The website proper is definitely active. As you say its design is just better than the alternatives. I would say its main problem is it's incomplete in various areas, and it's run by one person who is often too busy to keep up with it.
PokeBase is a different beast entirely. This community will always be smaller because it's more niche, but that's OK if it does a good job fitting that niche.

It’s coming along well. I’m about 70% done with part 3 right now (which is going to be the largest part), though progress right now is slow. I’m busy with college so it’s hard finding time to work on the game. I’m hoping for part 3 to be ready around late December, but I’m not enforcing a hard deadline because I don’t want to rush myself. If you want, I post regular updates on our Discord server: https://discord.gg/2FUqPaSvfs

Maybe some small ones, but in general I don't think big activity peaks correlate with release dates.
I think the biggest peak (2013) happened because of the site's redesign that year that tickled Google's fancy.
