August Community Thread!

The July Community thread has been moved here.

UPDATE: The gaming post is now gone. We didn't really use it much after the first month, so I've decided to drop it. Thanks for understanding!

Hey guys! Did you all enjoy last month's thread? (: I hope so! Every month a new community thread will be made and the old one will be discarded into the archives. I don't want a super huge thread to continue to get even bigger, so I hope everyone is excited for a fresh start every month!

If you're new here then don't be shy! The community thread is the place to come and chat with fellow members of the site who share a common interest with you. Talk about whatever you want, whether it's GPX related or something going on in your personal life, just be sure to read the rules first before posting. There's always someone on the forums to read and respond to your posts, so chat away and maybe you'll meet some great people!

Rules

• Regular forum rules still apply here. Basically don't double post. Don't ask for clicks every time you fill your party. Unless it gets out of hand*, I'm okay with you linking to an exploration Pokemon who needs a specific berry.
  
  *out of hand meaning I don't want to see Pokémon being linked just for leveling or if they need drinks for happiness. These kinds of interactions can be handled just fine by being in your parties and signatures.
  
  
• Do not post your shinies here, there's a shiny thread for that. Discussing them is OK though! Just make sure you add content to your post.
  
  
• [NEW] Make sure your post contains worthwhile content. If you're posting an exploration Pokémon to be fed berries then be sure to add other content to your post. Same with discussing shinies. Find people to reply to or start a discussion yourself! Your post must, with the shiny portion and berry feeding hypothetically removed*, not read as if you're talking to yourself. To clarify, your post should not be an out-loud thought to yourself, and should contain more general discussion than just information on your current shiny luck.
  
  *if you were to read your post, skipping over any mention of shinies, the post should still sound like a good post.
  
  If any posts are found breaking this rule then they will be instantly deleted and handed a 10% warn.
  
  
• [NEW] Do not post your GPX+ gear grinders in this thread either. There's also a thread for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like.
  
  

  
  Okay:
  Ugh, snow again! D;
  Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? ):
  
  An off-handed comment that is in no way malicious like this is fine. You can always add an emoticon to help add to the not serious effect, but that it is only a small annoyance.
  
  Not okay:
  Ugh, snow again! Why can't staff do something to change this!?
  Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? This is stupid, someone NEEDS to change this or do something about it.
  Where is the - New Feature - that was suppose to happen? They said it was going to be a month ago, so where is it!?
  
  This is more ragey and is trying to throw shade at the site and staff. Either examples can be thrown in the gear grinder thread just fine, but this kind of anger is what I want to avoid in this thread. I hoped this helped explain.. (:
  

  
  
• Do not litter your post with swear words.
  
  
• [UPDATED] Memes and Gifs are allowed, but don't overuse them. If the thread turns into nothing but meme and gif replies, I'll give everyone a 10% warn that was involved because it's just plain out spam! Make you put these in a spoiler tag.
  
  
• No quote pyramids! Be sure to cut out everything that was before what you're replying to. They can get long and make a page annoying to scroll through, so be considerate to your fellow members!
  
  
• A post must be AT LEAST one sentence long. If you’re saying hi or bye to someone be sure to add something more to your post.
  
  
• [NEW] If you'd like to advertise something, then be sure you put it in your signature. Youtube, Deviantart (No smut), Fanfication (No smut), adoptable sites, your own minecraft servers are all fine. Send a PM if you have any questions about anything else!
  
  If you're a twitch streamer, and want to invite others to your stream, then go ahead and make a post about it so everyone can know.

Monthly Raffle - Updated for new method

Nominations are now gone, and I'm using post count to determine how many entries you have into the raffle. The first 19 posts you have will count as one entry, and every ten after that will count as an extra. Think of it as the first number of your post count is how many entries you have. To see what your post count is, click on the number of replies any certain thread has. Nothing else on the site will influence the amount of entries you receive, so if you'd like a chance to win, then post here frequently!

The raffle is what chooses who gets to choose what's in next month's egg distribution. There are no other site advantages other than that, and even then the whole site gets a chance at that Pokémon that you chose!

WHAAAAAAAT

New exploration? Wooo

I wound up sleeping most of today, not sure why. I still need to rectify it before school begins.

[Amberfunk]

I finally got a haircut, my hair used to be just past my waist and now it's above my shoulders.

It kept getting stuck on chairs and doors and branches when I was gardening and it was a safety hazard in my Horticultural Tools class, I had to put it in a bun so I wouldn't get scalped. A classmate had actually seen a partial scalping happen.

Gonna donate it to Locks of Love.

You should donate your hair to a different organization. Locks of love sells the hair and some kids do not even qualify to get the hair from them. I'll post another organization when I find it.

[Lunar Eclipse]

So... I finally did something I've been delaying for a lot of time: I cleaned my Pal Pad a bit. Most friended users are/were people I knew from another forum, but many of them haven't logged on for years. I added some people and I still have about half of the space empty, so I might check out the Networking Ninjas group and help people with SN.



I derped and gave him the wrong berry. Please don't be like me and help this poor thing.

If you do end up joining the Network Ninjas, welcome!

I feel bad- I clicked like crazy to finish DotW today so I could still get a jump on the special explorations, and it looks like I've already feed all the exploration pokemon linked here ^-^' Guess it's time to bust out the incense for the first time in a long time...

Also, I noticed the new exploration when I finished DotW. Was really tempted to start it since it had only been completed 9 times, but I figured I wouldn't finish it in any special time. It'll still be there when I'm ready again :P

I didn't get the phishing warning until after I had read the announcement. So thats good I suppose

Really? Good thing I haven't sent it off then. Where can i find proof of what you're telling me? Google "Locks of Love scam"?

[Lilium Alice]

@Lunar -- Well here's another one, if you haven't clicked it yet :p Finally got Pidgeotto to lose a battle after resubmitting it in the training rank instead of silver.

@Gryphaena -- Following up on what Amberfunk said, I think there's another organization called Wigs for Kids that you might want to consider donating to instead. Either way, thank you in advance for donating your hair. You're going to make some kids extremely happy.

[Gryphaena]

@North Star: I, too would welcome you to the Ninjas if you want to join us! :]

@Lilium Alice: I'll look it up or wait for Amberfunk to get back to me.

[KatTheBard]

Ooh, new exploration! I'll see if I can finish this before reset. Three hours GO!

[H1Z1]

Fun exploration, though really really short. I like the concept behind it though.

Cut my hair today too and went from hair that was below my shoulders to maybe 2 inches long now. Gotta accept the hair receding.

[Phoenicis]

Can't wait to see what the events for September look like (and maybe I'll actually get one, unlike in August ). Plus I should be able to get the last legendary pokemon I need for my dex (excluding several Arceus forms and megas; and I will get it even if I have to use prize points for it) AND the last unown I need. September should be a good month for me. Hopefully it won't be a low shiny month like August has been, though.

*treads carefully through posts in order to avoid any spoilers about the prize* Woo, new exploration! So I rushed to finish my last task of DotW and now I'm on that one. Which means...


This guy needs spicy berries please!

[Vibrancy]

Twentieth person to finish the new exploration! It was nice and simple, which is relaxing, and it had such a sweet story!

Can't wait to see what the special explorations for next month are~ We'll see how many pages of the September thread I'll have to read through tomorrow, lol.

[Venusaur King]

Anyone else watching Raw tonight? Pretty excited about the Dudley Boyz return.

I wasn't really expecting this, but I just got the fastest time on the new exploration! Congratulations in advance to whoever supplants me!

I love the story so far. If anyone could help me out, that'd be much appreciated!



Made a pretty good pot roast tonight, though next time I'm going to nix the tomato and also use red wine. ...I was too lazy to go get any today. :'3

[Bobdapeach]

The new exploration artwork is really cute!! Hopefully I domt spoil myself with the reward, but I probably will coz #clicking

Anyway I'm onto the spring cyndaquil task but I can't link since I'm on mobile but if you were able to feed that babe a cherri berry I old appreciate

[Vibrancy]

HEY JEN, THANKS FOR THE PAINTED TORCHIC EGG

Have a good night, everybody!

[xhig]

The new exploration sounds really interesting, but...



With any luck, she'll be gone by tomorrow.

Has anyone read The Road? I have to read it for school, and I want to know if it stays kind of slow the whole way through.

Having no Shiny luck recently...Audino has surpassed Zangoose for my longest hunt (currently two more than Zangoose).

[Lilium Alice]

Fed~

Sweet it looks like we hit CM, so here's to hoping for a huge multiplier tomorrow.
I was able to finish up the clone exploration and started the new one a little bit ago. It's super cute so far! That being said, mind helping out this guy?

[Takoyaki Gamma]

Just finished the new exploration

Not what I was hoping for all month as far as goal (been hoping for a Light/Dark Stone explo) but I'll take it

[Doom Hunter]

I wonder. Have the winners been picked for the monthly contest yet? I'm anxious to see who ends up the winners!~

[Zotz]

Can't wait to see what September's legendary explorations will be owo But can someone throw me a couple Cheri berries my way owo?

[RicFule]

I wonder. Have the winners been picked for the monthly contest yet? I'm anxious to see who ends up the winners!~

Idaknow? The last I saw, was that entries were cut off and Jen wasn't doing the drawing then because it was sleep time.

So, since the new normal exploration is out now, this thing:

needs more berries so I can get it out of my Party and be closer to finishing TBD for the first time.

And I still need to get to Target. I want to find those Pumpkin Spice Peeps, dontchaknow. I was able to finally find the Pecan Pie M&ms, the other day, however. They're okay, I suppose. Not that I could tell they were MEANT to be pecan pie, but ...
