My view of Pokemon / Route 50
April 23 at 10:06am
I was one of those kids who grew up with a Gameboy in their pocket and one of the only games in it being Pokemon Red, Yellow or Gold. Back then Pokemon was likely one of the most creative and fun games any kid could have and you'd play for hours under the covers in bed.
While I continued to play Pokemon until around 13 (three years ago), I've slowly lost interest over the years. I guess I may have grown up too fast as I began coding and focusing on the computer a year before that time. I started to realize how much money I had put into GBA and DS games over the years and decided I should save my money instead. This was one of the reasons I never got another game after Pokemon Pearl.
Pokemon is a lovable game and I miss every aspect of it, but as I see it today it seems that they've really gone too far.
There really is a pokemon for everything already, or it seemed that way years ago. I find the fact that there are pokemon of a lawnmower and other random shapes just because there aren't anymore ideas. One of the other reasons I've lost interest is because of ..frankly growing up.
I'm still apart of Route 50 and have been for almost 5 years now.. (been apart of it before it was even a community) but I'm just.. not as connected as I used to be. I love and appreciate all the epic friends that used to be here and still likely are that made the entire experience fun.
I'm hopeful for the future of Route 50, and an amazing thank you and congrats to everyone who helped make it possible. In the meanwhile, share you're idea of 'where Pokemon is going' in the comments.

Code:
// fix r50 navigation on scroll!
var $win = $(window)
, $nav = $('.topbar)
, navTop = $('.topbar').length && $('.topbar').offset().top - 40 //change pixels
, isFixed = 0
processScroll()
$win.on('scroll', processScroll)
function processScroll() {
var i, scrollTop = $win.scrollTop()
if (scrollTop >= navTop && !isFixed) {
isFixed = 1
$nav.addClass('topbar-fixed')
} else if (scrollTop <= navTop && isFixed) {
isFixed = 0
$nav.removeClass('topbar-fixed') //change to fixed class.
}
}
var $win = $(window)
, $nav = $('.topbar)
, navTop = $('.topbar').length && $('.topbar').offset().top - 40 //change pixels
, isFixed = 0
processScroll()
$win.on('scroll', processScroll)
function processScroll() {
var i, scrollTop = $win.scrollTop()
if (scrollTop >= navTop && !isFixed) {
isFixed = 1
$nav.addClass('topbar-fixed')
} else if (scrollTop <= navTop && isFixed) {
isFixed = 0
$nav.removeClass('topbar-fixed') //change to fixed class.
}
}
Please consider this? (It's jquery).

Check it out! After 3 hours of constant coding, I've finally finished my newest base style Shadows! 
Shadows is focused on being simplistic, while offering an professional accent to base styles. :ohh:
All widgets are fixed to certain locations on the page, allowing accessibly for all devices. In fact, the only issue that could arise from this style, is the transparency on older browsers, including Internet Explorer. Otherwise, its quite sexy
As always, I will release this style after ...

Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I've been active, but thats about to change! I've been really distracted lately by school, friends, etc, and a lot of other stuff.
Besides the constant explosions, I promise to be much, much more active now, and will hopefully go go -AFK- for months like before.
If you may have forgotten about me, I have been (Pikapower64, along with Pikabot).
