Site Background and History

Information About Gengar and Haunter

Gengar is a 22 year old graduate of Vatterott College with a Associate Degree in Computer Programming and Network Management. Gengar has designed webpages since 1998 with the start of a Legend of Zelda fansite directory site. It was with this Zelda site, that Gengar began to learn HTML on his own. Gengar went to college in 2003-2005 at a technical school learning how to write computer programs. During college, Gengar took on creating a website for a local school as a internship. That project went on thoughout the years I attended college and on occasions he still updates their site. He has experience with many programming languages / web technologies including C++.NET, Visual Basic.NET, C#, COBOL, Java, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Oracle 9i, ASP.NET, (X)HTML, CSS, PHP, and MySQL. Gengar works as the mechanic/technician at the local bowling center and is also the web developer for their website, bearcatlanes.com.

Haunter is a 16 year old 11th grade high school student who enjoys participating in sports and other school activities. Haunter is Gengar's little brother who introduced him to Pokemon, thus giving Gengar interest in creating a Pokemon site. Haunter is less computer savvy than Gengar, but he makes up for these abilities with his school work and other athletic activities. Haunter plans to graduate high school then go on to become part of law enforcement. He loves animals so Haunter would like to become an animal cop.

Gengar's Other Sites?

Gengar's first site was called The Legend of Zelda Search 2000 or what used to be known as, ZS2k. It's main purpose was to provide a list of many links to other Zelda websites. It only last a about a year and half though. GHPD/GHPE (EzBoard) became the main priority and was much more popular, so ZS2k was closed in late 2000. ZS2k was my first site so the layout, html, etc wasn't really that good and all it had were the List or Links. Gengar's first professional website was designed for St. Joseph Christian School between 2003 and 2005.

Gengar and Haunter's Pokemon Dungeon

It was Haunter who had the idea of me making a Pokemon site because as you already know, Gengar already owned ZS2k at this point. This site was actually in the planning stages for about 6 months. The name of this site was originally going to be Pokemon Planet, but it turned out that another site with that name already existed at the time. The ezboard of this site actually came first. It was opened sometime in July of 1999, while the actual site wasn't launched till February 27, 2000. This is when GHPD had its first pokedex. All that was included in that pokedex was basically the name of the Pokemon, a short synopsis about the Pokemon, its type(s), number, etc. It had a poor layout and I can't remember for sure, but I believe it wasn't till version 2.0 until it had pics of Pokemon and a table layout. Pokedex 2.5 was the version that included Pokemon from Gold/Silver. Version 3.0 added a lot to the pokedex. Most of what you see in 3.2 was in version 3.0. Now version 4.1 makes 3.2 seem like nothing, since it has a lot of information, plus it includes Crystal info. The idea of a downloadable pokedex wasn't till version 3.11 of the pokedex.
