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

2023

"WE ARE METHOS."

All Bonus Counters were replaced with an image of the super mod Methos's Pokésona as well as the quotes being replaced with “WE ARE METHOS.”

This is probably in reference to the fact that many of the staff members had "WE ARE METHOS" as their trainer card throughout March. "WETHOS" was a commonly used abbreviation.

2022

Master The Rock Badges

All Master Rock Badges were replaced with Master The Rock Badges.

The Rock, also known as Dwayne Johnson, badges were made as a joke while the Graphics Team were working on making new badges. Niet surprised everyone for April Fools by coding in The Rock Badges to replace all of the Master Rock Badges.[1]

2015

A Paper Skrelp on a darkened page.

The 2015 April Fools Event was a scavenger-hunt-based event. The 2015 April Fools event used a "Paper Fish" theme. It was a reference to the French and Italian April Fish pranks traditionally done on the holiday. [2]

Each time a page loaded, there was a chance that a darkened version would appear in place of the normal page. A spotlight surrounding the cursor would also appear. The darkened page would function normally, actively responding to all actions done on the page, e.g. Interactions on a person's User Page. Using the spotlight around the cursor, a user would be able to search for a Pokémon sprite placed randomly around the page.

Fish Sprites

The Fish! popup that appeared when a Paper fish was found.

The sprites that appeared varied between "Paper Fish" and normal Water-type Pokémon sprites. There were 7 unique variations of Paper Fish, each representing a Water-type Pokémon wrapped in paper. When a user found and clicked on a Paper Fish, a "Fish!" popup would appear displaying the number of Paper Fish that user had found. Normal Water-type Pokémon that appeared did not count toward the event goal, and were used as annoying Red Herrings (jokes). [3]

Custom Sprite

CS Goldeen

Collecting one of each of the variations of Paper Fish would give a user a chance at receiving a Origami Goldeen Custom Sprite at the conclusion of the event. The chance of receiving a prize from the event rose with each additional Paper Fish found. Finding 5 of each Paper Fish variation would guarantee a Custom Sprite. [4]

Custom Sprite Goldeen was released on April 8th. Users who collected at least one of each type of Paper Fish were sent a Private Message with a special Cheat Code that would allow them to collect their prize. The probability of the Cheat Code yielding a CS Goldeen was determined by the number of total Paper Fish collected.

2014

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.

Announcement

The following announcement was made after April Fools.[5]

In April 1st... war was beginning.
