April Fools' Day is celebrated on the first day of April.

2015

Randomly, a page loaded on the site was darkened, with only a small circle of light around the user's cursor. By searching around the page, the user could find a special "paper fish" collectible. By clicking on it, the fish would be collected, and a pop-up will be shown detailing the amount of paper fish the user had collected. There are seven types of paper fish, and five of each type. Collecting one of each type gives the user a chance of getting a prize after the event ended. Collecting more fish increases the chance, and a full 35-fish collection guarantees the prize.

The paper fish are designed after fish-like Pokémon, including:

  • Red Magikarp
  • Yellow Feebas
  • Blue Finneon
  • Pink Luvdisc
  • Orange Goldeen
  • Green Basculin
  • Purple Skrelp

Randomly, instead of a paper fish, a real fish Pokémon can be found on the darkened page; however, collecting real fish seems to have no purpose.

File:Pokémon CATS' Espurr.png
I set up you the bomb!

All Pokémon sprites were changed to one of Espurr in a bubble. Upon viewing a Pokémon's Summary Page, the owner's name would show up as CATS, one of the site's Non-Playable Characters.

The event is a reference to Zero Wing, a video game which has become infamous on the internet for its extremely bad translation. CATS' Trainer Card note, farm name, and Pokémon descriptions are all pieces of dialogue from the game's intro. His user description has a music player, which plays the game's intro theme.
