Hope you all enjoyed our little April Fools prank.

For those wondering about how the name change was decided on, I basically had it loop through the Pokemon listing in reverse order (so Arceus -> Bulbasaur) assigning names to Pokemon based on who the highest trainer with that Pokemon was. If someone (Trainer A) was the highest trainer of two Pokemon (say Arceus and Giratina) then the Arceus was changed to Trainer A and Giratina went to Trainer B (who was #2). This only applied to Pokemon that were ranked, so some didn't get their names changed.

If you didn't get to see your name on a Pokemon this year -- well, maybe a few new Pokemon will help that out...
