Hello fellow Vizards and Vizzettes! I have a funny/amusing story for you. It all started 11/25/2016, when TheBWoods15 embarked on a journey to learn more about programming, coding, and all that fun stuff. I Googled free coding lessons just to clean the rust out of my bones. My story takes place within the second html coding lesson.
The lesson opens up with an introduction to the lesson, on the write is a box of web code that is already coded. To the right of that is a display of what the web-page would look like once the code is translated by the web browser. The instructions were to play around with the new text areas and learn what part of the web-page each code line is for. This particular mock web-page was originally about brown bears, common species of brown bears, and what countries they are most commonly found. Also, there was an image of a brown bear, and a link to learn more about brown bears.
So here's the part where Pokemon comes in. I was thinking of a humorous way to re-make the web-page. And the first topic that popped into my mind was Pokemon. And I chose to focus on Legendary Pokemon. So I replaced all the text that said "brown bear(s)" to "Legendary Pokemon". Next, I changed the list of brown bear species. Four were listed and I replaced them all with names of Legendary Pokemon: Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. The fourth one was deemed extinct so I took the opportunity to add a new one "Aquatro" (Get it? Water type and fourth bird legendary Pokemon? ;P )
Then I went to the list of common countries where brown bears are found, and replaced them with regions in the world of Pokemon. Three countries were listed so I replaced them with three regions: Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh (I know that these particular Pokemon do not thrive in all three regions, but it adds to the joke)
After I was done changing the text, I wondered if I could change the image by copying a Google image link and replacing it with the bear image's code. And indeed it worked! I managed to get an image of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres on the fake Pokemon webpage.
Finally, i had one last change to make. The "Learn More" link was linked to a Wikipedia page about "Brown Bears". I found the Bulbapedia article about the three Legendary Bird Pokemon, and copied the link and put it in place of the previous link. So now the "Learn More" button would send a visitor to the Bulbapedia page giving information about Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres.
I am not able to turn it into a real web-page as of now, but I might copy it and use it for one of my first real web-pages. It's not much, but it made for a good laugh, and i got some coding practice.
Here is a screenshot I took of the fake web-page:
