What the CRY and CRY2 for?

[Shinx3000]

I have noticed that on species pages, below the artwork image is a Cry and sometimes a Cry2 but they don't do anything, is this supposed to be for hearing that species cry?

We plan to implement, if we can, the cries for the Pokémon in the infobox, among other things. Unfortunately... every time we've tried it's kinda KILLED THE SERVER. So we have to figure out what's making it work over on PokéWiki and why it doesn't here.

I guess that's why I'm getting the 403 Forbidden errors...

That's another issue related to the high load we've been having recently. We're trying to fix it.

Speaking of which, if you see any references to CRY or CRY2 on a page right now, remove them. Them still being there would be a BAD THING.

Yeah, far as I know those aren't in the infoboxes... they've been gone since the last server-killing test.

Do you guys actually have Shaymin's alternative cry (or Pikachu's for that matter) for the sake of using CRY2?

'Cos if so, I could really make use of that myself. >>

 

[TTEchidna]

We have both.

Former's taken from Masuda's own blog (so you know it's the game's own sound file), latter's taken from my game in the Foreign Building in Hearthome. Gotta love that soundfree area!

Links may not work from time to time during the day.

I'd forgotten Masuda had actually posted the Pikachu cry.

Thanks for the Skymin cry, much appreciated.
