August Community Thread!

The July Community thread has been moved here.

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.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 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 sure 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.
  
  
• If you'd like to advertise something, then be sure you put it in your signature. Youtube, Deviantart (No smut), Fanfication (No smut), Twitch, adoptable sites, your own minecraft servers are all fine. If you Live stream give a heads up that you're live, but be sure to add content. Don't just link dump. Send a PM if you have any questions about anything else!

Monthly Raffle

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!

[Varys]

*blink blink* I just wanted to hurry up and evolve my SWSH prize pokemon so I could see the evolved form, I had no idea I'd have the first one on the site! (At least, the stats page says that there's only one.)

Aww I thought I had the first one lol I think the stats page doesn't update as frequently as we thought it would be. lol

[timeerkat]

LOL, ok, I'll settle for *one* of the first. Congrats on getting yours, too!

[Esmee1993]

Dark Ekans is soo cool! So glad I got my shiny in the last weekend!

[Indigo Sapphire]

I got my shiny on the last Friday before the hunt ended, after 633 eggs thank jesus :'D
Happy birthday to all the staff. This month is the final month of Winter in Australia and I don't want the heat to come back again, it can stay up in the Northern Hemisphere thanks.

[eevee64]

This month is the final month of Winter in Australia and I don't want the heat to come back again, it can stay up in the Northern Hemisphere thanks.

Completely agree! I'm quite enjoying this 14'c weather...give it a couple of months and it will be 34! I dislike summer very much haha.

[Gigadweeb]

Woah, all the staff birthday's are in August, and mine is? Guess I must be a mod then :^) being ironic don't ban me pls

glad to see Wulfenite won! might wait on using my PP until the contest ends, see what I get as a prize.

[Silberchen]

I'm also a bit salty about Go, I seriously hope Niantic will manage to straighten their game out one of these days :S

Real life is kicking my butt yet again so... I also didn't finish the shiny hunt. Whoops. But I was really really happy to win the raffle (and I absolutely cannot pick anything else than Lugia :P ).

As I mentioned before, my 3DS is semi-broken... so I'm preordering the sun/moon bundle. I hope. It's a bit of a hassle since I'll be moving between now and November so I don't know where to preoorder it.

[Invert]

Happy birthday to the staff members!

I'm glad I finished my shiny hunt with time to spare. I got three more shinies after I got the Chimchar for the month, and managed to complete one of my longer shiny hunts! Hoping for the same sort of luck in this month. c:

I think I've settled on the Mew and Mewtwo explorations this month -- I already started the Mew, and have a Fossil Kabuto that needs some Berries in my party. I don't have any of the legendaries for this month, but I feel like Jirachi and Darkrai might be easier to get a hold of than those two. o:

[Senpyro]

My god, last month was TERRIBLE for shiny hunting on my part. Dunno if it's lack of effort or so but I'm shocked I got my SWSH done so well. Meanwhile Goomy is nearly sitting at 1000 and over 700 Chimchars. Probably the worst month since I got back into this.

I'm surprised by the reward. I first didn't see the difference but after a quick google, I see what you did there. And it's actually quite nice.

[Alicat]

I'm excited for the distribution this month

Also was skimming thru the last couple pages missed on the July thread and wanted to add my bit to this:

I really think they've butchered GO now. But we'll see.. it's only very recent so they could have other things in store. Although the idea of walking in random directions to find something, and apparently the 'closest Pokémon' thing is randomised. So the first thing you see isn't always the closest..

I've seen SO many complaints about this today... I was quite upset about it too :/ AND they took out EVERY tracking tool, my PokeWhere was pinging nothing and I didn't know why xD

I joined Instinct because it's yellow... and I reached level 12 today! My town is Instinct-Dominant oddly enough, when it's the underdog globally o.o And I caught a 210 horsea at work today, I've been hunting Horsea for WEEKS!

As for the SWSH... I'm glad so many people were able to complete it I finally finished DoTW... almost 9 months in >_>

My egg just barely got cut from round three... it was the one with the rainbow hourglass and night sky *o*

[Keyda]

I came up short for the shiny hunt this month. Guess bellsprout doesn't like me here or in pokemon Go.

Looking forward to the end of summer too. I hate the heat, I wanna wear my sweatshirts again, lol. Plus fall has tons more awesome stuff to do around here too.

[Yamper]

Must remember to keep a slot open One for my Kyurem (please please be shiny soon) and maybe try for this minor text fixes? Maybe it's just a Missing. No? :
Happy August all! Happy birthday to Jeff too.

Only 17 days until I get my long anticipated results...

e: I just noticed in the Month of August thread the edit says 'minor text fixes' and there's also an egg Sprite there too. Maybe we get a derpy Bellsprout?

I cant belive July is already over, dang time flies by. Happy birthday to all the staff that have their birthday this month.

The minor text fix is most likely gonna be missingo, or it has something to do with the egg that Big Bidoof showed. I think im gonna go for Lugia.

Mew and Darkrai for me this months exploration, both are explorations I havent finished before but I already got the pokemon.

Pokemon GO related: I cant believe they completly removed the footstep function from the game, the tracer still doesnt function correctly. How is this now a hunting type of game? Alot of complaints everywhere about it, the game even got an avarage of 1.5 (on a scale from 1-5) in the Japan Playstore. Shame, the game had great potential.

[Luneon]

I'm curious what the minor text fixes will be because... well... it's currently associated with Pokemon GO
It might just be a missingno but hey you never know xD

I think I might be going for that one since I'm already getting a Jirachi the 4th

That ekans egg looks kind of cute. I hope it will have a gem on its head.
Or a ring.
I like that type of stuff a lot.

I got a lot of pokechests somehow so I'm glad this month will be a scavenger hunt again. Time to empty em!

I completed my Zergoose hunt last month so I have no idea what to do with my prize pts anymore XD
Guess I'm gonna have to dig through the dex and see if I can find another pokemon to spend them on....

[Cryptic Lyric]

I am definitely looking forward to the event pokemon this month! Or at least to see other people get them.

August is always a busy month here, especially with all the admin birthdays.

In personal news, today makes 9 months for my boyfriend and I, aaaand we are currently on vacation at the beach! The selection of pokemon for Go here is amazing. I caught somewhere around 12 voltorbs yesterday, and I FINALY FOUND A DRATINI.

[Cycloneblaze]

I didn't get my shiny last month which doesn't surprise me, oh well. I have enough points to buy the voucher anyway.
Don't know what I'll go for in the distribution... I wasn't at all surprised to see Kyurem there once I knew Sam had won but as you can see below, I don't need one. Why is Jirachi on when the exploration is on? Never got that. So it's 'minor text fixes' for me I suppose.
Happy birthday to Jeff, and in advance, everyone else.

[Asbel Lhant]

New Sun/Moon info on serebii!

I am so PUMPED for these games like you wouldn't believe!

I want that Ice type Vulpix and Sandshrew, SO COOL

[Akane Kurashiki]

Guys guys guys new trailer is out

Oh god those alt forms for older pokémon. Winter Vulpix is now a canon thing lol

[RicFule]

Why is Jirachi on when the exploration is on? Never got that.

Because after the, I think, first month, the people who win the raffle were able to choose an egg that was already planned to be released as one of that month's explorations.

[beachbanana]

I started the shiny hunt late and hatched like 80 ekans with no luck,
