[X] My Assistant

[Sofia]

I liked this whole coin event - I wonder what I'm gonna get. No matter what, I did my best and didn't miss a single scavenger hunt task. As much as I'd like a shiny voucher (of any sort), I think I'll be happy with whatever I get.

Either way, this event ended up with me getting three shiny Flabebe (two Orange, one Yellow) and a shiny Cleffa so that's pretty good. Although I still haven't gotten my shiny Torchic that I've been hunting all month.

[Mikaku Onchi]

@Aragarthiel You've got some good points there. But it's like everything in life, right?

Oh look, another shiny male ralts, that's my 4th. I don't have a shiny female yet XD. My list of shinies this month goes as follow:
Voltorb®, Pokii(event), Magikarp®(x7), Igglybuff®, Porygon®, Cleffa®, Pachirisu, Wurmple®, Flabebe Eternal Flower, Fletchling, Pansear®, Munna, Emolga, Ralts, Spritzee, Magikarp, Ralts®

® stands for random. So, 7 random shiny Magikarp and 1 from a hunt!

I'm really eager to see the new trinket set and the so awaited new achievements, both promised for March.

I FINALLY GOT MY SHINY DARUMAKA!!! Today, I also got accepted to start waitress training at a restaurant close to home, so hopefully I can do well at that and start saving money! I hope I can be a good waitress and make my guests happy. Anyone have tips for that?

This month, I've gotten a large number of Shinies, including:
Surprise:
Volcarona

Official Hunt:
Corsola
Slowpoke
Darumaka

Unofficial Hunt:
Porygon
Rotom
Fenniken

Safari:
Vivillion
Mega Pidgeot
Mega Blastoise
Togekiss

These 11 shinies combined with scratch cards and a full Scavenger Hunt make me happy! These things add happiness to my life while it is otherwise stressful.

Were achievements promised for March? I haven't seen any talk of that in the monthly news threads in months. They were supposed to come in June and that was the last time I saw anything.

At this point I just want Xerneas/Yveltal exploration, Mega Diancie and Hoopa(s).

[Sofia]

Congratulations, Storskarfen! Getting a new job is always exciting. Make sure to always smile and be attentive. Being a waitress can be difficult, but I'm sure you'll do great.

Looks like everyone has had better shiny luck than I :c But that's okay, I'll get every shiny eventually, mark my words!

[Wayward Rosalind]

Well, I didn't get any shinies from this event. I'm kinda in a dry spell lately since my ridiculous luck from last SWSH (Hatching two shiny cleffa at once, four shinies in one day, etc)

Well, I'm stopping at 717 coins. 17 is my favorite number so why not? To be fair, my first goal was 607. I'm kinda weird with numbers. (For those that are wondering 0607 is my birthday) So anyways, I'm going to try to finish my Misdreavus hunt so I can move on to other Pokemon.

I'm going to see if I can break my interaction record today. An extra 24 hours is good for this yeah?

[nokrow889]

i got a decent haul this month for shines

i hatched

3 yellow flabebes
1 orange flabebe
Rotom
Cottnee
Furfrou

and i got a camurpt from the safari im currently ranked 39 in coins im gonna keep going my goal this whole time is be above 40

[Breech Loader]

I am probably gonna be hideously disappointed at effort for reward rations.Or maybe not?

But I hope to hit 5000 before the end of the day? Less than 100 to go, if I really sweat it out...

No, don't say there was a new trinket submission set this month. NO! Why?! I missed. Even though I had some already in pocket to submit. Trinkets remind me I finally got my final trinket from the market. I had to change 8 offers for it!

Nice, congrats! As a waitress, I'd recommend you should be really patient. A little treatment with smile will always be helpful. And gestures, they are important. Most important, don't forget the magic words: Thank You, Sorry and Excuse Me. All these things make any people likable and likability is the most important criterion for waitress. But don't stress out, you'll learn a lot from you job.

Oh don't worry. We are in the same boat. I have got 5 till now but I'm really satisfied with it. Mostly for the fact all of them ended within 150 eggs. :P My shiny hunts drove my Zap plate and Mind plate to near completion (4/5), so they are really gonna be a pain now.

EDIT: I am thinking of retiring at 1504 coins. That's when I joined this site.

Lowest voucher = Max Scratch Cards + 1. So yeah, 601 will be good. Or maybe for really safe side, you can try for 751.

hm I guess so....... Can't hurt to get it up a tad higher.
----------------------

Lol you guys saying you need a certain amount of coins when:

a) you don't even know what the prizes are
b) you don't even know the threshold

Idk just makes me shake my head a bit is all

I for one will be happy when it's all over. I've felt everything has suddenly become elitism the last few weeks, I can understand trying to get as high as possible and I hope you all get rewarded correctly, I just don't understand why everybody is assuming you're gonna be getting the same prizes. The word used was 'similar', which, for all we know, could just be similar in terms of scratch cards lol.

I'll be happy with whatever my <1100 coin total will get me.

I just hope with whatever people get, you'll all be grateful. I feel the general "Community" part of the thread has suddenly gone out the window this month :/

/2 cents awaiting for a comment

Not really elitism but I noticed as well that 1 or 2 people became a bit more hostile haha
But that might just be the "deep-into-competition" thing.
I'm not all that good at competitions ^^; ehehe
and I guess that might piss some people off.
----------------------------

Oh! and... when I came home, I found out my package arrived 2 days ago xD
1.5 weeks too early....
Also found out there's some extra costs, idk where they came from o_o
Never happened before.
Looking at the price (15-something) it might be the pre-order bonus... but not sure.
I hope they'll send a letter about it soon because I want it T___T it's cuuute
It's some sorta seethrough plastic thing you put papers in, and it has a pic of one of my fav shipgirls on there.

I did quite badly with shinies this month, all things considered. (That is, all of your hauls considered :v ) I got a Shiny Ralts from a hunt after 666 eggs, and 24 eggs later I got another. I'm going for a box of 'em, so that was welcome. But what I really wanted was the Cleffa I didn't get in the last SWSH: no luck on that front. Nor did I get a 'karp, oddly, but then I was only hunting that for coins. I got to about 100 on both of those hunts, I think.

Has anyone been contacted about the raffle yet? It's gotta be coming very soon. Not gonna lie, I'm a little hopeful that fortune will favour me this month.

Hmm. I don't remember reading anything like that but I could be wrong! I think the last time it was addressed was the start of last year. :P

[Aragarthiel]

My only shinies this month were randoms: a Magikarp, a Charmander, and a Fennekin. I enjoyed the theme there, gold and silver shinies, but I was hoping for my Larvitar hunt to finally end. It's been going since August and I'm tired of it. And I don't even know what shiny Larvitar looks like, I just hunted it for the shard and I completed my Stone Plate two months ago.

Go, go, go for it!

I am wondering about it as well. At least 1 of the 3 winners say that they've won the raffle, but I see none this month. And honestly, I don't want to win this month (and that might make me win ) since I want to accumulate all my raffle luck of the whole past year into this one April distribution since my birthday coincides with the distribution day and who doesn't want a distribution to be set on their birthday?

Very true, very very true. Of course there'd need to be a lot of eggs given out for the distributions to reach out into my birthday, but eh... same month, hey? That's all the way in November, though. :v

[Yamper]

The only coin shinies I got this month were.. Zangoose. Lol.
I got a Shiny Meditite from the Scavenger Hunt and I think I finished a couple hunts (Gligar, Charmander and Axew) but that's it. Still nowhere near finishing my plate collection either

BBT came on Netflix here so I'm gonna sit through all of today and tomorrow watching them all whilst attempting to do work.

"I will be opening trinkets submissions in a week or two for February trinkets only. Any others will be denied. There will be one more big batch of Trinkets. The thirteenth batch. (Though, I may call it the Last to avoid superstitions) This will come out in March. Then, I'll only be adding to the special batches throughout the year."

From January news thread. I guess it's going to contain leftovers (which are probably a ton by now).

Ok, so there are things called leftover trinkets. For some reason I thought there might be submissions for new trinket but yeah, new trinkets are new trinkets. More reason to open pokechests.

And you just made me realize there'll be a distribution on my birthday this year. Kyogre for May plz/ty

The trinket thing actually makes me sad, I was off-and-on working on a really neat set but they're not really holiday themed so I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to submit them.

[Luneon]

I won the raffle in my birthday month :P
ok my actual birthday is halfway the month but still...
CLOSE ENOUGH XD haha

I noticed several of my friends have a birthday halfway, which I think is hilarious
