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
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! -------------------- |

Happy August, everybody! I'll probably forget yet again, but I'll try for Latias on the 3rd and Lugia on the 5th if I miss out on the former.
Enjoy your SWSH prizes. Please breed them so that everyone can get all of them! Since Moltres is out in Pokémon GO, I hope people have lots of luck with their raids! Don't forget that it's only available for a week before Zapdos shows up in its place. Myself, I'm gonna see about doing a few raids tomorrow and hopefully catching the fire bird. -------------------- Check my GPXPlus journal to see what I contributed to the site!

Huh, feels like July just slipped away in the blink of an eye. Hopefully I remember to leave a party spot open for the day Misquaza goes out, don't have one yet and I'm too lazy to summon my own.
Glad I was able to finish my SWSH, even if my Salandit was male. I wish I could do raids in Go. There was an Articuno really close by on the weekend, but I'd feel really awkward hanging outside a church for an hour plus .-. -------------------- |

I think I'd go for almost any egg this month except the Dofo. Misquaza though <3
Also, did anyone else see the "Old Rod" vouchers in the invo? I'm not sure if those are the SWSH prizes though? Edit: I saw the mention of the PoGo legendaries - I never even got a chance to join a raid for Articuno, which sucks because I'm Team Mystic. I'm not even sure if I'm going to bother going for the others (don't have a Lugia either). My Pokemon aren't high enough CP to help much, and my game lagged right in the middle of the one Lugia raid I did join, and I couldn't get back into the battle. And of course, there was about one person's amount of damage left when the timer ran out... Good luck to anyone that does raid =) This post has been edited by Alchemists Fire: Jul 31 2017, 11:18 PM -------------------- |

They're the SWSH prizes, and you use them for the special Magikarp patterns from Magikarp Jump. I'll be breeding pink and... either gray or brown, depending on whether or not this brown one hatches female.

I think the Old Rod summons the prizes, at least I used an Old Rod to get one in my Party.

Just got my first Ultra Wormhole just moments before I was going to purchase a Legend Voucher + to get a Cosmog. On my 8th GPX+ anniversary, no less! August is off to a great start already.
Looking forward to catching Moltres in Pokemon Go as well, it's just a shame I have to drive 30 minutes to a city where I can actually find enough people to beat the raids. -------------------- |

I will breed the Calico, Pink and White Karps I got from the Old Rods after I manage to get my shiny rockruff nods - never played magikarp jump but the designs are sure pretty!

Be sure to check out the "Change Sprite" options for each of the 9 Magikarp. PokeNOM went all out with this one -- so thanks to her for all the hard work!
Magikarp Jump is a pretty fun little game and it gave poor little Magikarp some spotlight. -------------------- Want a rotating avatar like mine? Check out my website: randimg!

I'm gonna see if I can shelter/safari stalk them and then breed once I see what the patterns look like =) -------------------- |

August already, where does the time go? Looks like I'm leaving my party open for all of this month, just for a chance at a distribution Pokemon. I'm also going after Raikou for my monthly exploration, when I get a chance to do so.
I managed to get two Wormholes today, neither of my Cosmog were shiny. I didn't have to wait too long for the second one, Prankster turned into Wormhole after an hour. I'll be using my Old Rods from the SWSH tomorrow, for now I need to sleep. -------------------- |

Oh no.

The Pokedex says these guys always breed novelties, so it shouldn't take to long to populate them.

You have no idea how much I love this new set of SWSH prizes. I don't even care if I spent 9 Flame Orbs on it!
This certainly makes up for how no one seems to be breeding half of my shiny hunt targets Hopefully when I get out again on Wednesday, I'll be able to bump into a random raid. I arrived too late for an Articuno one last week and wasted my Raid Pass because it was actually my first raid. -------------------- |

Whenever I have stuff in my Mobile Walker I use Chrome to activate it every hour. I just started getting a "Your browser was unable to determine your location! Please try again later." error. Is it because people are obsessing over the new Magikarps and overloading the system, or is my computer being stupid?

Is it because people are obsessing over the new Magikarps and overloading the system, or is my computer being stupid? It's something that seems to happen for the frst few hours after reset. Try using the mobile site and it should work. Back on the subject of the 'karp, and I hope I don't sound greedy here, but is there any chance of us getting the Skelly pattern as a new sprite for normal Magikarp? Since in the game it's classified as an offshoot of the standard pattern. -------------------- |
