UPDATES:
February 10th-Finally, the new battle is up. Barely more than an hour to spare until the Network Check, this one cut it close. Love Thy Webmaster week is coming up, and it should be.. interesting. Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to February 3rd, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/7, Update Score 5/5, for a total of 18 stars, placing me #6 out of the 27 active sites (Aqua, Neon, and Lime tied with Light, but Light lost a popularity poll with them 4-3-0-0, with Lime recieving the almighty vote.) The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Digital Version (8 + 7 + 4 = 19), #2 Storm Version (9 + 6 + 3 = 18), #3 Aqua Version (8 + 5 + 5 = 18), #4 Neon Version (8 + 6 + 4 = 18), #5 Lime Version (8 + 5 + 5 = 18), #7 Sandy Version (7 + 6 + 5 = 18), #8 Eclipse Version (8 + 5 + 4 = 17), #9 Blood Version (7 + 7 + 3 = 17, won a popularity poll 4-2-0), #10 Cotton Candy Version (7 + 6 + 4 = 17), #11 Emerald Version (7 + 5 + 5 = 17). McDonalds! By the way, all twelve battles of the 'b' series have been given their own Battle Quality line to give an estimate of my opinion on each battle. Since I don't know what my own opinion is, I had Zarbon of Viridian Version do it for me, as I tend to agree with his BQ scores 80-100%, depending on the battle. eak-
February 3rd-New fanbattle up. Unforseen problems, I've been extremely sick all week. In other words, plenty of time to significantly deepen and enhance the plot - very little time to actually write anything. #12b will go up as soon as possible. Sorry.
January 24th-A preview of #11b, the first battle in a three-part linked trilogy, is up. Also, we have our first fanpic, as well as a pic I drew myself, both in the Pictures section! Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to January 20th, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/7, Update Score 5/5, for a total of 18 stars, placing me #2 out of the 21 active sites (Aqua also got 18 stars, but Light won a popularity poll against Aqua Version 11-8). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #3 Aqua Version (8 + 5 + 5 = 18), #4 Sandy Version (7 + 6 + 5 = 18, won popularity poll against Digital 11-6), #5 Digital Version (7 + 7 + 4 = 18), #6 Shadow Version (8 + 7 + 2 = 17, won popularity poll against Lime 11-8), #7 Lime Version (8 + 4 + 5 = 17), #8 Cotton Candy Version (7 + 6 + 4 = 17, won popularity poll against Eclipse and Neon 7-6-3), #9 Eclipse Version (7 + 5 + 5 = 17), #10 Neon Version (7 + 6 + 4= 17). Because it remained in the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of RobbyMVB, the webmaster of Light Version: "This is my version. More spilt blood than flowing coffee, more epic quests than puns, more strange innovations than HTML errors. Or so I like to believe. Just make SURE to read from the beginning if you decide to venture out into the steadily expanding archive of Light - the beginning being #1b! I work and I slave and what thanks do I get? First I do the whole Network Check with Lani's help, then I organize the Network Polls, now I'm even doing he Back-Up Commentary! Eh, who am I kidding, I'd pay to do this o_o; THERE - IS - ONE - LIGHT" Lewl.
January 20th-Seriously, though, folks... Light Version Battle #10b is up, thank you, thank you. I'll be here all night. Light Version's current Network ranking, basedo n the site up to January 13th, are Battle Quality 9/10, Site Design 5/5, Update Score 5/5, Extra Stuff 2/2, for a total of 21 stars, placing me #1 out of the 21 active sites. The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #2 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 20), #3 Aqua Version (8 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 20). Because it remained in the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of Jin, the webmaster of Diamond Version: "I like to think I was one of the first people that realized just how really, really good Light is. Robby's a fine writer, and Light is one of the few versions I can read regardless of whether or not I want to laugh (which it can do easily, but doesn't focus wholly on humor). I read Light because it's a good read. It's an all-around assault on your imagination, and it keeps you involved - more than enough to come back no matter what you like" Yes, they keep going back.. back... scroll down for the first updates with the 'b' series.
January 13th-Well, I've just about finished battle #10b, but Kite suggested that I just update with a fan battle today and have more time to work on #10b, what with it being so important and momentous. I'll put it up very soon, but until then, so as to assure that I probably become the #1 Network site this week for the first time ever, I'll put up a fan battle, #27, by the Clear Version Webmaster instead. Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to January 6th, are Battle Quality 9/10, Site Design 5/5, Update Score 5/5, Extra Stuff 2/2, for a total of 21 stars, placing me #2 out of the 21 active sites (Storm also got 21 stars, but Light lost a popularity poll against Storm Version 4-2). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 21). Because it returned to the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of Comic, the webmaster of Digital Version: "Although many people think 'eh, it's Robby' it can't be good, I think they are either not a fan of good fiction or just plain wierdness-boppers (yes, that's my own word I just created it now! MINE! My precious....) Currently, it has a bunch of people looking around for their friend, named Joe, and a king and some sort of slave is about to confront them! Who is the king? Who is the king? Nobody knows~ Except Robby. Maybe. There's even a quizlet thing to guess! Anyway, sometimes the battles aren't the funniest things in the world, but when it gets funny, it's up there, and throughout the entire battle, usually there's a reason for everything. Reason? In a pokebattle? Yes. And I have seen it. For it is good." And that's that.
January 8th-I archived all the old battles, so this page won't take too long to load anymore.
January 6th-Battle #9b. If you don't count time I spent thinking about the battle when I wasn't working on it or time I spent taking breaks between working on it, I spent 90 hours working on this battle. Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to December 30th, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/5, Update Score 4/5, and Extra Stuff 2/2, for a total of 19 stars, placing me #7 out of the 21 active sites (Red and Aqua also got 19 stars, but Light lost to them automatically because BQ is more important than US, Sandy also got 19 stars, but Light lost to it in a popularity poll 3-1, and Neon and Lime also got 19 stars, but lost to Light automatically because BQ is more important than US). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 20), #2 Shadow Version X (8 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 20, won a popularity poll against Emerald Version 3-2), #3 Emerald Version (8 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 20), #4 Red Version (9 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 19, won a popularity poll against Aqua 5-1), #5 Aqua Version (9 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 19), #6 Sandy Version (8 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 19), #8 Neon Version (7 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 19, won a popularity poll against Lime Version 3-0), #9 Lime Version (7 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 19).
December 23rd-There is a new fan battle up, #24 - #25 comes after it, but it was uploaded a while ago. Sorry for the confusion. Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to December 16th, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/5, Update Score 5/5, and Extra Stuff 2/2, for a total of 20 stars, placing me #3 out of the 21 active sites (Storm also got 20 stars, but Light lost to it automatically because BQ is more important than US). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Red Version (10 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 21), #2 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 20), #4 Dark Version (9 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 19), #5 Shadow Version X (8 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 19, won a popularity poll against Diamond Version 12-4), #6 Diamond Version (8 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 19), #7 Sandy Version (7 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 19, won a popularity poll against Lime Version 14-3), #8 Lime Version (7 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 19). Because it remained in the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of Andrevan, the webmaster of Emerald Version: "Light Version has come a long way since the old days, and now it is one of my favorite versions. It is full of Robby's clever little things, like the Bog of Art (boggart) and the ultra-cool time distortion things. And it is easy to see that Light has more of a plot than many, although it is a bit confusing to follow. Anyway, Light is a great version, and I predict a long and prosperous stay in the top 5." Anyway... no new battle. My glasses are broken, I've been very sick for more than a week, and... well, I'm not having fun. I'll re-write the deleted battle #9b when I can.
December 16th-A new battle, #9b, was going to go up yesterday, but my computer froze, and so I had to restart it, losing the 760 or so lines I'd written so far... I apologize to everyone who wanted to read it, because now it's gone forever. I might try to write it again, newer, better, if I'm in the mood again sometime over the next few weeks. Oh, and Motzart is r0xx0rz. Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to December 9th, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/5, Update Score 5/5, and Extra Stuff 2/2, for a total of 20 stars, placing me #3 out of the 21 active sites (Dark also got 20 stars, but Light lost to it automatically because BQ is more important than US.) The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 21), #2 Dark Version (9 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 20), #4 Sandy Version (7 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 19). Because it remained in the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of Deb, the webmistress of Ruby Version and co-webmistress of Moonlight Version: "Robby is a strange one, yes, and one not familiar with his odd little quirks can most definetly see it in his battles. I personally adore Polly and GRBL, for obvious reasons. ^_^ Cluck! Now excuse me as I have nightmares about the Cosby Show..." And that's the Network. The anniversary tenth Light Version battle.. I hope to finish it before 2002... but that might be impossible now. Oh well, as a small apology to my fans, you can go to the Fanbattles archives now, to view the four newest Fanbattles I've put up, written by Mattchu Raimei, Anon, Mr. Kite, and Ninetales.
December 9th-With just five minutes to go until the end of the Network Check, I finish HTMLizing battle #8b. I do hope you enjoy it, and I wish for a happy festival of lights.
December 6th-A new battle's up, #7b. That's about it. The holidays put me into such a giddy mood, so it's a good thing reality keeps me in check! Just kidding.. things are going good. Real good. Light Version's current Network ranking, based on the site up to December 2nd, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/5, Update Score 5/5, and Extra Stuff 2/2, for a total of 20 stars, placing me #2 out of the 16 active sites (Storm also got 20 stars, but Light lost to it automatically for the same reason as the last three weeks). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 20), #3 Dark Version (9 + 5 + 3 + 2 = 19), #4 Diamond Version (8 + 5 + 4 + 2), #5 Sandy Version (7 + 5 + 5 + 2). Because it remained in the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of JPG, the webmaster of Lunar Version: "Hm…I must say this is my first time reading Light. It has quite a plotline. One of the few versions with a coherent plotline. And the battles are awesome. o.o;; Long live Light!" Red Version's back and with a serious attitude, Shadow and Emerald are making their shocking returns, add this to the competition Light already has and... well, I'm sick of acting so defeatist every week :) The more sites there are, the higher I'll reach by being on the top of the food pyramid! Wooha! Light forever! Sleep tonight! Enjoy the battle please.
December 2nd-Against all odds, battle #6b is up, and some re-organization has been done. Also, for the first time in history, Light Version has entered the Top 5 in the current Network rankings, which are based on the site up to November 25th. It has Battle Score 9/10, Site Design 5/5 (system has changed from a 1-7 to a 1-5 for Site Design stars starting this week), Update Schedule 4/5, and Extra Stuff 2/2 (new category for any neat projects on the site), for a total of 20 stars, placing me #3 out of the 17 active sites (Dark and Diamond also got 20 stars, and Dark beat Light in a Netverk Vote 15 to 9, and Diamond placed #4 for the same reason as the last two weeks, being that higher BQ counts for more automatically when sites are tied). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #1 Storm Version (9 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 21), #2 or 3 Dark Version (9 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 20), #4 Diamond Version (8 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 20). Because it got to the Top 5, Light Version recieved some commentary, this week courtesy of haunter_uk, the webmaster of Sandy Version and co-webmaster of Ghost Version: "Well, Light deserves it's position in the top five, not only for getting rid of that nice pleasant, Vivi tune which kept interfering with my choice of mp3… Although it was interesting to listen to I Am Cow and Vivi's theme tune at the same time… But it's fractured time style plot will leave you confused, and begging for more." Well, wasn't I wrong last week, guessing that I wouldn't be able to stick to the Top 10 without lots of effort? Then again, it did take lots of effort to write, re-write, and re-write again #5. This week I'll be working on a Flash movie for the site to celebrate it reaching the Top 5. It might be finished by next Sunday, but until it is done, right-click on this text and go up on the menu that pops up and left-click 'save as' to see a preview of the movie. The preview's basically the whole movie, just without the last scene, music, some extra text at the bottom, and some other stuff that I'll be working on adding. Also later tonight, it's possible, though unlikely, that I'll update with a new fan battle. We'll see soon enough... Also, thanks to all my fans, supporters, and well-wishers. This great honor - being ranked as one of the top 3 active Pokebattles sites in existence - might not have been possible without you. Stick around, why don't you, I'm just getting warmed up....
November 22nd-New battle, #5b. The current Network rankings, based on the site up to November 17th, are Battle Quality 8/10, Site Design 5/7, and Update Schedule 3/5, for a total of 16 stars, placing me #8 out of the 22 active sites (Blood and Neo Shadow also got 16 stars, but Blood placed #9 after losing to Light in a popularity poll 6-14, and Neo Shadow placed #10 for the same reason as last week). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #5 Red Version (9 + 6 + 2 = 17, wins popularity poll versus Digital 16-5), #6 Digital Version (9 + 6 + 2 = 17), #7 Neon Version (6 + 7 + 4 = 17), #9 Blood Version (8 + 5 + 3 = 16), #10 Neo Shadow Version (7 + 4 + 5 = 16), #11 Lunar Version (7 + 5 + 3 = 15). Lots of new sites are updating. Keeping in the Top 10 next week will be difficult...
November 16th-New battle, and a distorted photo of me in the Images section. Also, the current Network rankings of Light are (these rankings are based entirely on everything that existed in Light Version before November 11th 2001, and more recent updates will be ranked on the 21st): Battle Quality 9/10, Site Design 5/7, Update Schedule 2/5, for a total of 16 stars, placing me at #8 out of the 17 active sites (Neo Shadow also got 16 stars, but placed #9 because Battle Quality is a little more important than Site Design and Update Schedule). The sites closest to Light Version in rank are, #6 Blood Version (8 + 5 + 4 = 17), #7 Neon Version (7 + 7 + 3 = 17), #9 Neo Shadow Version (7 + 4 + 5 = 16), #10 Ghost Version (6 + 4 + 5 = 15), and #11 Illumina Version (6 + 5 + 4 = 15). This is the first time Light Version has ever made it into the Top 10 before, and the first time it has ever gotten a 9 BQ. Yay.
November 14th-New battle. Also, some renovations taking place, with HTML errors in Fan Battles and older Light Battles being fixed. Also some stuff being moved around or erased. This could take awhile, what with combing Yellow Version for fanbattle author names, listing every site and then adding to each one (curse you, tables) every time I make a change, and linking everything to each other.. so please have patience, and just enjoy the battles only until there's something else enjoyalbe on the site o.O;
November 13th-Light Version Fanfic #1: Swine of All Ages re-uploaded. Same story as before, but with some new colorcoding!
November 11th-Site design fixed up a bit, links made more orderly. Mattchu's winning battle at the Battle Festival properly HTMLized.
November 10th-An interlude; I think perhaps I will update once a week, with the storyline switching back and forth, ABAB. I'll probably change my mind later, though.
November 3rd-Abandon all hope. . . A new series of Light Version, b, has arrived.

May 7th-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Or something.
July 21st-Working on some major surgery with this site! Soon...SOON IT SHALL BE COMPLETE! BUHWAHWHAHAHWAHA! That, at least, was a unique laugh O_O;;

June 21st-2 battles are up, we've linked back to Pokebattles main, and I'm still working on the color scheme. Hopefully, we'll get accepted to Pokebattles Network soon.
