the ultimate baes



I'm a lurker. Have known about this website for years, but never committed to it. I joined a few days ago and thought about just keeping to myself, but .. there's something absolutely wonderful about investing in a forum and meeting new people! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but I look forward to interacting with you guys.

My name is Sanguinne. Also it's Becca, irl. You can call me either or call me whatever other nickname you'd like! I'm 25 and I live in the States (CST). In May I graduated university with two Bachelor's: Psychology and English (Writing), both of which have absolutely nothing to do with my current job but I'm happy I pursued them anyway.

To keep things short (yikes, considering how long this post is), my hobbies typically consist of video games and chatting with my closest friends (online and off). Seems kind of boring, but it makes me happy and that's what's important tbh. I do love going out with my friends, to the movies, bowling, even just out to eat! It's really beneficial to get that social time. I'm at a point in my life where I am surrounded by few close friends - all of whom I love - and I would really love to make more. That being said, please do not hesitate to message me or ask questions or whatever. I'm absolutely determined to dive into this forum and make friends.

Also, I love writing and roleplaying, so I may check those forums out at some point. ;)

Short list of faves!
  1. Pokemon: Entei. I've got a soft spot for him because of the movie, but also through roleplay with a close friend. <3
  2. Pokemon Game: Crystal. Mostly for nostalgia reasons, because it was my first, but also it was just so good. Runner up is A/S/E. Hoenn was everything to me.
  3. Video Games: Final Fantasy and NieR. I literally just saw someone with a 9S icon, and I need to find them again because we've clearly got something to talk about. ;)
  4. Movie: Labyrinth. Fell in love in 10th grade and never stopped loving it. It's inspired a lot of my original work and ultimately cheers me up.
Those are some basics, right? Anyway! I'm excited to explore this site. I've been looking for a new adoptables site, considering I've either fallen out of love with others or they're no longer around, and this one has always been on my radar.

I do have a couple questions, if anyone is willing to answer. They're probably easily answered by checking the site out more, but I haven't finished exploring. (There's so much to do and see, which is amazing but also overwhelming).

Does GPX have any seasonal or themed events? Event pokemon? I love original sprites and new challenges, so events would definitely keep me invested. Any other things that GPX has to offer that a newbie might not know about right away?

Thank you guys for taking the time to read all of this, if you did, and hopefully we can chat. (:

Hello Sanguinne, welcome! :]

The event Pokemon here are called Novelties and they are usually prizes for Site Wide Shiny Hunts.

Most of them are breedable though, and if you're lucky you can find some in the Shelter as eggs or in the Safari Zone as hatched mons.

Forseasonal events, there might be a Christmas or New Year's Exchange this year and sometimes there's a Dreidel and Coin event going on during December.

There are also special months where rarer Trinkets are available.

I don't think there are other special events, but I could be wrong and someone will correct me.

Yeah, I've done a little looking around since I posted and saw several novelties around! Even took the (belated) initiative to look at the Help page. Thank you so much for letting me know, though! I didn't know about some of those events.

It seems like there's always something to do here, which is great. (:
