	While the site's nominal purpose was to sperg about ~~Pokemon~~, the content of the site suggests that Chris's ulterior purpose for the site was to sell himself as a cool person and make friends, just as his later [[Sonichu's News Dash]] was ''really'' about attracting a boyfriend-free girl. Chris hoped that there would be extensive community feedback--the art section was for "drawings from you and me," for example. There was also a "Cool Letters" section, which remained vacant. He practically begged people to sign his guestbook, and, of course, there was the prominent "About the Author" section, where Chris's already-enormous [[Chris and his Ego\|ego]] was apparent.

	This was the meat of the website. It included a series of brief updates from the world of ~~Pokemon~~. Very little of it is original; Chris just relayed information he had read in other publications and sites. There are a few insights into Chris's life during this period. Sometimes homework prevents him from making more frequent updates. He also takes a break during the move from [[Richmond\|Midlothian]] to [[Ruckersville]], which he says caused him [[stress]] and a dip in inspiration, excuses which would soon become very familiar to his fans. We see that Chris was apparently very upbeat through 2000 and essentially pre-sexual, his mind focused almost exclusively on his ~~Pokemon~~ hobby. Only in a later update to the site, when he was 22, do we first see references to the [[Lovequest]]. He also assumes that his readers hang on his every word.		This was the meat of the website.
