CWC's Pokésite 2
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 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 Mario's catchphrase, "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 fetish for 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.
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 600x480 monitor (already obsolescent 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.

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. :) |

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.

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. :) |
