I would never, ever sell my Kecleons but I'm curious anyways. xD

How much would a shiny Kecleon be worth?

Yes, we're back in business!
Organizing sounds like fun. :p

I remember that I wanted to tell the club something, but then I forgot to post. :'D So I guess I should put it here now, haha.
I went to the Harry Potter theme park in Florida. owo

Haha, yes, it's been a long day for me as well. So sleepy, zzzz.... xD I know how you feel, I still haven't edited my post with the answer yet. :P

Okay, here's a kind-of-not-really-hint-but-maybe-a-tip-sort-of.

Pray is absolutely correct. Just keep going in that direction. *coughcough* Pray is part of the secret phrase, and once you solve that, the key to solving the bonus word should be pretty clear. Or maybe not, I haven't people-tested (lol) one of these in a while so it might be completely obscure. xD


And it's perfectly alright, I know how it is to be super tired. My brain feels like mush sometimes, too. owo It doesn't help that I'm sore all over and don't want to move. And on top of that it's 3 am here and I can't sleep, so naturally I jumped on PokéHeroes. :'D
After this, I think I really am going to bed, ahaha.

Well, I was waiting for some more users to join, but I suppose I can just start it off. ^^

So, how many episodes/chapters have you watched/read? What's your favorite episode or movie so far? Do you own anything Detective Conan-related? :3

I'm sorry I didn't post before- I haven't been able to spend much time on PH since the 12th. But anyways... :P

I love learning about the history behind ciphers. It's fun to know that they were originally used as conveying messages safely while at war, and now they can be used by children, ahaha. I'm also quite fond of this Spotlight idea- it's an awesome way to highlight important ways to encode/decode, and teach. ^^

Interestingly enough, the Caesar cipher was the first cipher that I learned. It was part of one of those detective/spy kits, haha. I remember the shift, too- a shift of 13. In that way, the alphabet was basically split in half. So A = N, B = O, etcetera. It is also called a ROT13 cipher, as in rotating 13. It's one of the weakest ciphers around, but probably posed a challenge to most kids, which is why it was in the kit. :p

My answer to the Caesar cipher is in the spoilers below.

"Well done, you worked it out! Give yourself a pat on the back!"

Also, how I solved it:
Show hidden content

Simply put, seeing the double O's in "zhoo" made me think of L. Assuming it to be the word well, it wasn't much of a reach to assume the first phrase could be well done. Thus I scribbled out a ROT3 shift on a spare piece of parchment and found my way to the answer.


For all of the future spies/detectives-in-training that might join this club of ours, here is a good way (albeit a roundabout one) to send secret messages. See if you can crack it!

This is a story.
Annnd the secret-ness starts immediately below this sentence.

Perhaps I should think of a better way to encode my messages.
Really, now, it's getting kind of ridiculous how fast people are figuring them out.
Are they really that simple to decode...? ;w;
Yeah, I guess they could be...I just picked the easiest one to test.
For whatever reason, the ones that you can learn the fastest are sometimes the weakest ones.
Or maybe the people decoding my messages just have super intelligence. Ho....
Remember that time I used that really hard cipher? I do! It took me forever to master it...and then?
Nobody solved it! I think they even consulted the internet, to no results.
Yep, that was a great cipher! The time I spent studying it really paid off. ^__^
Choosing to learn tougher ciphers and codes might be hard, but in the end, it's better and more secure.

Annnd, end!
How did you like it? True story, by the way. There's a secret message somewhere in there, you know. And special bonus points if you find the hidden word as well! :P
Make sure to put your answer(s) in spoilers in case somebody else wants to have a go at it.

I always pack a ton of Huge Apples, so I'm usually set for a dungeon and have leftovers. Hunger hasn't been a problem for me yet. :p

Thanks for the advice, I'll be putting it to use. In one of my casual runs on the Tower, I was surprised I made it to the nine-level part. You're entirely right, it is very exhausting. If I remember correctly, my team of two is level 37~38 or thereabouts. I almost always hold the Friend Bow, so I'd hope recruiting some Ghost-types wouldn't be too challenging.

Ninja'd twice, haha.

I'm still at the Sky Tower in Blue Rescue Team. I haven't given it a serious attempt yet, because right now I'd like to focus on leveling until I'm stronger. :p

You see what happens when I leave for a page?
I hope you feel better soon, Queen Luna. ^^ Being bitten by a spider is never fun, just ask my sisters. When we first moved into our current house, the undersides of the windowsills were home to a lot of them. Dx

I'll have to go through and see how much those Pokémon outfits cost, haha. Maybe I could even get some of them. .w. I don't think you can add Pokémon, but maybe Pokémon-inspired clothes or something. Actually, let me go look...

Stop ninja-ing me! xD

All hail King Carpet! Congrats on the promotion, haha. I look forward to serving under you. xD I know you're completely capable and worthy of the job. *celebrates by hiring a group of Pumpkaboo to shower everyone in confetti*

I'm still working on my art entry, but it should be done...soon. :d

Congrats, Uchiha_Sasuke! >w<
Three cheers for another shiny, haha.

My second hunt ended a few minutes ago with a female Kecleon. I'm quite surprised, as she was only number 51 in my chain. o_o; So now I have the first shiny K couple on PH, wheee. Next I plan to hunt for Sandile!
I love reptiles so much. :p

Ho, everyone- I've been meaning to post more often, so far I've only been watching and lurking. xD I keep finding myself being excused from the computer, haha.

Shade: If I had New Leaf, that is precisely what I would wear all the time! 8D

I'm still thinking of ideas for my art submission, though in the end it will likely be something simple or a sketch of some kind. I also need to get out of the habit of drawing on lined paper. The other day, I found one of my old art kits, so perhaps I'll be putting that to use!

And after seeing all of the cute sprites, I think I should try my hand at spriting some Pumpkaboo fusions one of these days. >w<

Full support from me~ for reasons previously stated, and I prefer Liirah's happy birthday banner to the default one. It's very bright and cheerful, plus, you know...Ampharos. xD

How would you crack a cipher like yours? There might be another, faster trick to it that I haven't discovered.

Hmm, no, I hadn't noticed. And with that I am quite stumped. ^^;

Yeah! Great job. 8D That was fast.

All I did was use brute force. I don't know of a better/faster method at the moment. :p
I suppose I can put this in spoilers as well.

After copying your quote onto a piece of paper, I plugged in letters/words to solve hwm'b, and I found that b = t made the most sense. When trying a few more combinations, I figured the words can't and won't didn't seem to fit with the other places the letters would be used, so I noted down isn't as a possibility and moved on to solving bsn, which, following the b = t rule, would likely make the. ^^ Then I filled in the rest of the t's, h's and e's, and after finding bpvbs to come out as t__th, I tried truth. From there, it all kind of clicked, haha.

I haven't had the chance to solve a substitution cipher in a while, so thank you! ^^ It took me a tad less than 15 minutes, I'm not sure if that's considered speedy or not, but I did have a lot of fun with it. It's so exciting when you finally figure it out!

Meanwhile, I've got a quote of my own to share. Nobody said it had to be in plain English.
This one is done using a monoalphabetic Keyword cipher. Have fun!

There's a game called Pokémon Vortex that has the features you mentioned. I don't think this is really necessary for Pokéheroes, since we're a clicking/interacting site.

For reasons already stated, I don't support. ^^

Thank you. :3

Sometime last year, I was thumbing through a friend's sketchbook, when I saw a half-written page. I noticed that part of the page had a few empty grids on it, so I asked what was meant to fill them. She said that she had an idea for a grid alphabet. At that time, I hadn't heard of a cipher system that used a grid, so I turned to the internet with questions. After clicking through a ton of Wikipedia pages, I came across the Pigpen cipher. It's quite simple, but does the secret message job nicely. ;3

That's all, haha.

Now another question:
What's the difference between ciphers and codes?
The answer can be found here, or more specifically, here.

If you ever want to kill time with some educational videos, the Applied Math/Cryptography section of KhanAcademy is the place to go. Hopefully the links are working. .w.
