'''CWC's Pokésite 2''' is one of Chris's earliest websites about [[Pokémon]], launched on 22 July [[1999]]. [[Chris]] made a poorly translated Spanish version, which shows that his Spanish name is [[Spanish|Ricardo]] W. Chandler. According to the sign, Chris made [[Espanolic]] the mascot of the Spanish version.
'''CWC's Pokésite 2''' is one of Chris's earliest websites about [[Pokémon]], launched on 22 July [[1999]]. It was created using the web-builder feature on Go.com, a largely unsuccessful web portal made by Disney. [[Chris]] made a poorly-translated Spanish version, which shows that his Spanish name is [[Spanish|Ricardo]] W. Chandler. According to the sign, Chris made [[Espanolic]] the mascot of the Spanish version.


The email listed on the page is itsameCWC@aol.com, probably a reference to the opening splash screen of ''Super [[Mario Kart 64 Lego Raceway|Mario]] 64'', where Mario is heard saying "It's a-me, Mario!".

==History==
==History==
In his [[Chris's resume|resume]], Chris proudly proclaims both the [[Spanish]] and [[Chris and English|English]] versions as having been created from "notepad scratch" thanks to his HTML classes. Given the quality of the sites, it is largely assumed that "notepad scratch" is a euphemism for "pulled out of his ass". Like everything else of a visual nature that Chris has produced, the sites were nothing short of eye rape. The website was spawned out of his fetish for Pokémon and originally featured [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] as the mascot.

The site's logo, shown below, was designed by [[Miranda Joyce Mitchell]], one of Chris's high-school [[gal pal|gal-pals]], as a school assignment. This is why it looks good.

In addition to the godawful aesthetics, the site also has a number of HTML errors.<ref>See for example [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20010217092458%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fhomepages.go.com%2F~christianchandler%2Fpokste2.htm&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 here]. Errors before line 253 are in the Wayback Machine's toolbar and aren't Chris's fault.</ref> For example, the title image is aligned to the left of the screen, because Chris wrote <code>align=CENTER</code> when he meant <code>align="middle"</code>. This would have been obvious to Chris unless he'd been testing the site on a 600x480 monitor (already obsolescent in 2001<ref>http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp</ref>), and it would tend to make his work look even less professional to a software engineer who was considering him for a Web-development job.

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.

I was surfing on the internet one day, and I got an E-Mail talking about Info Gamers' magizine's website having the pictures of the three new Pokémon you start with in the new Gold/Silver version. It had an internet address attached to it, which goes to that article.

Anyway, here is the situation, in the Gold/Silver version, you do not get to choose between Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle. You get to choose between a firey hedgehog, Hino-arashi, a timid pear-shaped grass Pokémon, Chicory-ta, and a crocodile that attacks with its teeth and its tail, Wani-noco.

Pokesite2 banner.png


CWC's Pokésite 2 is one of Chris's earliest websites about Pokémon, launched on 22 July 1999. It was created using the web-builder feature on Go.com, a largely unsuccessful web portal made by Disney. Chris made a poorly-translated Spanish version, which shows that his Spanish name is Ricardo W. Chandler. According to the sign, Chris made Espanolic the mascot of the Spanish version.

The email listed on the page is itsameCWC@aol.com, probably a reference to the opening splash screen of Super Mario 64, where Mario says his iconic phrase: "It's a-me, Mario!".

History

In his resume, Chris proudly proclaims both the Spanish and English versions as having been created from "notepad scratch" thanks to his HTML classes. Given the quality of the sites, it is largely assumed that "notepad scratch" is a euphemism for "pulled out of his ass". Like everything else of a visual nature that Chris has produced, the sites were nothing short of eye rape. The website was spawned out of his obsession with Pokémon and originally featured Sonichu as the mascot.

The site's logo, shown below, was designed by Miranda Joyce Mitchell, one of Chris's high-school gal-pals, as a school assignment. This is why it looks good.

In addition to the godawful aesthetics, the site also has a number of HTML errors.[1] For example, the title image is aligned to the left of the screen, because Chris wrote align=CENTER when he meant align="middle". This would have been obvious to Chris unless he'd been testing the site on a 640x480 monitor (already obsolete in 2001[2]), and it would tend to make his work look even less professional to a software engineer who was considering him for a Web-development job.

Current status

Since the website has been at various times hosted on Chris's other fail webspaces, its current status is the same as theirs, which is to say, inactive and archived. He doubtlessly has a copy hanging around somewhere though, since Chris seems to feel that everything he produces is pure gold.

Content

While the site's nominal purpose was to sperg about Pokémon, 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 ego was apparent.

This archived edition was last updated on 15 January 2009.

CWC's PokéArt Section

  • Art.gif

Clicking this link to brought you to 24 of Chris's homemade Pokémon trading cards, some of the earliest entries in The Wall of Originals.

CWC's Downloads!

This page included links to the American and Japanese Pokémon themes. There were also .mpg movies entitled "Pikachu Vs. Raichu", "Ash and Pikachu", and "Team Rocket's Motto". taken from a site called "Pikachu's Place." Finally, under "Programs/Games/Other," one could play five games provided by "Insomniac Pokemon's Top 100 Pokemon Sites."

CWC's Pokenews

  • Poknews.jpg

This was the meat of the website. It included a series of brief updates from the world of Pokémon. 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 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 Pokémon 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.

"The Archive Section!" included his earliest stuff, labeled "October, 1999-December, 1999." He introduced it with, "Finally, I am going to start on my own PokéNews section for my PokéSite. I'll start small, but this section will grow...with time."

Corrected: My first article: some information about Pokémon Gold/Silver (what Pokémon will you start with?). Information and pics. wereprovided by, Info Gamers' magizine.

What Pokémon will you start with in Pokémon Gold/Silver

10/13/99

I was surfing on the internet one day, and I got an E-Mail talking about Info Gamers' magizine's website having the pictures of the three new Pokémon you start with in the new Gold/Silver version. It had an internet address attached to it, which goes to that article.

Anyway, here is the situation, in the Gold/Silver version, you do not get to choose between Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle. You get to choose between a firey hedgehog, Hino-arashi, a timid pear-shaped grass Pokémon, Chicory-ta, and a crocodile that attacks with its teeth and its tail, Wani-noco.

I'll have more information when I get some. :)

Save yourself a trip to Blockbuster Video! You can print yourself an entry form from Nintendo's Pokémon World!

10/14/99

You know that new Pokémon Snap contest where you can win a trip to Austraullia? You can save yourself a trip to the store by downloading a copy of the official form from Pokémon World!

Info. on Snubble, Marril, and Donphan!!

10/22/99

I found some interesting information on the three Pokémon: Snubble, Marril, and Donphan.

Snubble: The name is a combo of snub-nosed and bulldog. Nintendo's Gail Tilden says that Snubble is very grumpy and has a short fuse.

Marril: This water mouse is already hugely popular in Japan, where the new Pokémon movie first opened, and soon will pop up on the TV show.

Donphan: Tilden says the name is derived from the Japanese word "don," meaning "heavy-footed," and "phan" from elephant. It does a rolling attack and is one of the larger Pokémon.

Dig Into Fossil Deckbuilding Contest!

All you have to do is click on the big icon on their website, follow their instructions, enter, and possibly win! It's really a way for those who do not know how to construct their own deck to learn how.

How the Pokemon Came Into Our Poke Balls.

10/30/99

(Intro.)

For my English class in late September of this year, I had to write my own myth. So, I figured "Why not make a myth about how Pokémon came to be."

My English teacher thought that it was a great story. So did my mom and a few other people. Since it was so good, I thought I'd feature it on this website. Click Here to read my story. Enjoy. :)

These special new game cards are only available by purchasing a ticket to the movie or by making a $10 purchase at the Warner Bros. Studio Stores, as long as supplies last.

The Foreign Pokémon Cards are Here!

1/21/2000

I have come across of Pokémon cards in other languages. I have found so far, German and French cards. But, since I take the Spanish language, I have figured that there may be some Spanish Pokémon cards. If you have any information on Spanish cards, or have any Spanish Booster Paks, Send me an E-Mail at: Itsame CWC@aol.com. Have a nice day. :)

New! Team Rocket Card List.

4/3/2000

The Team Rocket expansion will be coming on April 24th, but the PokéSite has the list to help. The American Team Rocket card list is in the TCG section!

A New Promo. Trainer Card is here! And we have the scoop on it!

New! Trainer: Computer Error Card!.

5/29/2000

There is now, for the first time in America, a new Promo Trainer card called: Computer Error. It is a Non-Holo card, and was probably originally a Team Rocket card; by the name, it says: "(Rocket's Secret Machine)."

Find out how to get it in my Promo. Card Section!

And I'm sorry that I have not updated the site lately; too much homework and less inspiration.

Another Promo. card/Where are those updates?

A Coast-to-Coast Promo. card, Eevee!

6/19/2,000

There is a Promo. Card that has been flying around the country (which did not make it to some states), Promo. #11, Eevee! Information on it is in the Promo. Pokémon Section!

Where have those updates been?

I have not been keeping up with the PokéNews Section, because my family and I have been in the moving process from Richmond, VA to Ruckersville, VA. The stress was keeping me down. But, as soon as we are moved there, I will be updating the PokéSite much more often with PokéNews!

I'm Back...with updates!

I'm Back!

7/17/2000

Hey, everyone. Sorry for the long wait without updates, but my family and I are finally moved to Ruckersville. So the updates will come up more often, now! 8)

To start, there is an update in the Trading Card section: 1st, the new 2000 Movie Promos are listed, including Achient Mew!

I'll keep the updates coming; thanks for coping with me. 8)

Ancitent Mew has been translated!

7/22/2000

During the first week of the new Pokémon 2000 Movie, the Anchient Mew Promo. cards will be given to those who go to see the movie.

I translated the A-Mew at the League today. So, for those who do not go to the League, the A-Mew "Details" go as followed: 

   Name of Attack: Psyche (Requires 2 Psychic Energies).
   Hit Points: 30.
   Attack Damage: 40.
   Retreat Cost: **
   Weakness: Psychic.
   Resistance: None.

I hope this will help some of you in your TCG card games. 8)

New Promo. Checklist!

7/27/2000

Since there are so many Promo. Cards flying about, instead of just a list with details, I have made a simple, printable checklist.

To ease some possible confusion, the "?'s" means that the card of that # has not yet been learned about. And since Ancient Mew does not have a Promo. #, I gave it a #00.

I will update as often as new Promo. Cards come out. 8)

The League Cool Porygon Rumor is finally comfirmed!

New Promos. Coming to the Pokémon TCG League!

8/9/2000

I'm sure that you all have heard about the rumors of there being the *Cool Porygon Promo. card is going to be given out at the TCG League.

Well, I have just found out the truth to the rumor. My source was a small newsletter that was given out at my League at Toys "R" Us, the Pok*eacute;mon Press.

As for the *Cool Porygon, it states in the Newsletter:

"Beginning on September 16th, there will be a final season to round out the first year of the TCG League, Victory Road.

"Only those that earned all 8 Badges will receive a Victory Road booklet. When a Trainer gets 20 points in the Booklet, he or she will receive one *Promo. Psyduck #?* card. When he or she wins 5 games in a row in the booklet, he or she will receive one *Promo. Cool Porygon #15* card."

So, earn those badges to catch the $150 card, and a Psyduck. 8)

New Gym Heroes Checklist and Deck Contents!

Gym Heroes Info!

8/10/2000

I got my Gym Heroes cards a little early, so I put together a new checklist with Level #'s and Deck Contents!

You know those Gym cards only found in the Japanese deck instead of the Booster Paks? I've found out that Wizards took some of those cards, and made them into Non-Holo Rare cards.

You can find the list in the Pokemon TCG Section!

Oh, the PokéFire is rekindled! 8)

A New Badge Theory!

New Pokemon TCG League Badges Theory!

9/18/2000

I have a theory about the Pokémon TCG League. Since there are the 8 Badges from the Red-Yellow Versions so far, and Victory Road is coming up, what will come after Victory Road?

I believe that since the Gold/Silver Versions will have many new Badges, the Pokémon TCG League might get those new Badges some time after the Gold/Silver Versions come out.

But do not get your hopes up, yet; it's just a theory of mine. If it does occur, I will post it in the PokéNews! 8)

It varies slightly from the one he included in Sonichu's News Dash, produced around the same time. This reflects his shift in priorities: he had discovered dating, and had begun his epic Sweetheart Search.

The Girl for Christian.

I'm lonely and want a cute female companion.

If you would like to hang with me, I am seeking a girl with the following qualities:

  • 18-22 years of age.
  • Does not already have a boyfriend.
  • Single
  • 5' to 5'9"
  • Average/Slender weight and body type.
  • Does not Smoke or drink Alcohol; MAJOR TURN OFF.
  • Lives in Charlottesville or Ruckersville area.
  • White.
  • Happy, positive personality.
  • Young at heart.
  • Average/High income.
  • Drives a vehicle.
  • A Caring girl.
  • She has to be pretty.

If you wish to learn more about Christian C, look up his"SonichuCWC" profile on Match.com.

If you want to meet me in person at the places I hang out at, I will be wearing a medallion that looks like Sonichu's head.

*Actual face will vary.*

  • Christian is a very shy, and very thoughtful, person, and will only accept person-to-person encounters (No E-Mails or Phone Calls). So if you are interested, he can be found around Piedmont Virginia Community College, or Fashion Square Shopping Center. When getting his attention, approach and say hi to him. Do NOT flirt from a distance; he will not be able to notice. To find Christian, he’ll be wearing the Sonichu Medallion.

Now in Spanish

Chris went to the trouble of translating most of the site into Spanish. He didn't quite finish. Here are some samples:

Chris also translated the "About the Author" section. He did not update this translation after turning 18, and so did not identify himself as "Single and lonely" or include a link to girlfriend requirements, as he would in the English-language version.

Guestbook

Seventeen people signed the website's guestbook. Most of the details of the first seven entries appear to have been lost. Since Bob and Barb signed the guestbook of his first site, we can assume that Chris pressured them to sign this one too. On 29 July 1999, seven days after launch, a friend signed and told Chris that she hoped he would continue learning HTML. On 30 September, one Mrs. Johnson signed and said that she knew of "others" who would like his website, and that she would let them know about it. The last ten guests are below. One of them was "Sonichu," who says it's a "terrific site." One was a fellow student. Two were companions from the Pokemon league. The last was from a "friend" from PVCC named Nicole. This is rare evidence of a college peer paying Chris any positive attention whatsoever.
