October Community Thread!

The September 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!

October Egg Distribution!

How to get an egg from this event

• You must keep at least one slot open in your party.
• You MUST have logged in sometime on GPX+ in the last two weeks.
• You can not be in the restricted group.

IMPORTANT EVENT NOTES

1. No, you do NOT have to be online at the time I am sending out eggs.
2. These eggs do NOT show up in the Lab for the event. They are sent out randomly.
3. There is ONE set shiny for each Pokémon, but every other egg has a regular chance of being shiny.
4. If you obtain ONE of the eggs from this event, you will NOT be able to obtain another one from this same event. This means if you get an egg on day 1 of this event, you can't get an event egg from any other day during this event. By the way, abandoning an event egg does nothing. So if you get one you might as well keep it and be happy.
5. If we find any accounts being made just to get eggs from the event then they will be immediately banned along with your main.
6. If you were a winner of the raffle, your chosen Pokémon will be spawned into your party on the day of the event. It won't be forced shiny, but there's always a small chance just like any other egg! This will not count as an event egg and you can still receive one from the event.
7. There is no guarantee that you'll receive an egg.
8. Eggs chosen will not be available to pick from again for 3 months. If x egg was in the January egg distribution, then it can not be chosen again until April.
9. The event runs at 4 p.m. server time.

Event dates and what's being handed out

• October 2nd: Tapu Lele - Winner: Luneon - 200 eggs
• October 3rd: Reshiram - Winner: Mamanator - 200 eggs
• October 4th: Kyogre - Winner: AregularFrankiefan - 200 eggs
• October 5th: Darkrai - 200 eggs
• October 6th: Genesect - 200 eggs

[Storskarfen]

It's October! Objectively the best month of the year! Maybe I can get my shiny Noibat this month, that would be fun. I'll be going for Tapu Lele and Genesect... hopefully I can clear my party of these exploration pokes.

[Shadow Fennekin]

Think I'll pass on Lele in case people are wanting it, but I'll try for all the others.
Hope I get an egg this time. lol

[Comfey]

My goodness! Lele eggs on the 2nd? Darkrai eggs on the 5th? My trinket's been accepted!? And I finally bought a legend voucher and got a Koko egg! This month is gonna be great, and I'm really hoping to get a Lele egg in the chance that it'll be shiny!

EDIT: Having trouble staying logged in, right now. Server's being overloaded, I'm assuming. Anyone else?

[Luneon]

I'm so surprised that Cosmog wasn't picked due to how popular it is
That must mean enough people managed to get it the regular way!

October isn't my favorite month but a figure I've ordered gets released in November so on the bright side, October is one month closer to receiving that cutie <3
I hope to get a shiny rockruff this month. (Or manage to obtain the 1000 eggs achievement that I don't have just yet.)

[Synx Itax]

October is here, and that's so weird. Guess it's time to put out some pumpkins and other decorations! I just can't wait for the weather to start cooling down... which takes a good while here.

Not sure what I'll go for in regards to the giveaway, but I guess I don't particularly care which one I get (if any; I didn't even get one last month). Perhaps I'll try for Reshiram.

[Asbel Lhant]

October already? Wow this year has been flying past, bring on the spooks! Oh man, I need to get Tapu Lele, I'm keeping my party open and hope I get that one. I'm happy that I finished the SWSH with 3 shinies this time, I'll enjoy the prize.

Thanks for all the comments about my aunt. She's going to hopefully be let out of the hospital sometime this week. The surgery went very well and she's recovering exceptionally fast. She'll hopefully be back in town sometime next week.

[The Majestic Mr ...]

iiiiiiiiiiit's spook month

who's ready fOR MARIO ODYSSEY LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

also Overwatch Halloween Terror, can't wait

[AregularFrankief...]

Wow, with the exception of Kyogre, I don't even have the Egg dex entries for any of those other Pokemon. It seems I need to up my Exploration game! And yay, October. Time to open those 100+ Trinket boxes I've collected within the past month and hope that my phone doesn't crash while I'm doing so.

[pumpkinking0192]

Any word on what the SWSH reward is? I didn't manage to hatch a shiny in time and I don't see anything new to buy in the Prize Shop yet.

[Mamanator]

I'm so surprised that Cosmog wasn't picked due to how popular it is
That must mean enough people managed to get it the regular way!

Fig dish! Fig dish! Fig dish!

I knew I was forgetting somebody! *wails*

Of course I haven't gotten Cosmog because the stupid prankster refuses to leave my header. Gah! I need to set a Pokemon after him to scare him off. Ha'rumph! Maybe next month a winner will think of Cosmog and help us out some. Sheesh!


Anyway... thank you, GPX, for the random selection that included me! *happy dances* Tapu Lele was actually one of my choices so it's good to see I wasn't alone. If luck favors me.... perhaps I can still win me one on the 2nd. Considering I'll be drilled and shot full of Novocaine by my dentist... a pleasant surprise of Lele would not be turned down by me.

In other news... I finished watching LOST through Netflix. Rumors were right. The first season was the best and I think I figured out what it was all about by the last episode. It was actually a kind of scary story, polar bears not withstanding, if you think about the big picture it was telling. It made me smile, though, watching SUPERNATURAL'S Lucifer trying to be a good guy. And so many of the actors went on to other roles that defined them. Guess LOST was a great spring board for them. Now I'm re-watching Reign (Netflix) so that I can watch season 4. It's been so long so I'm on season 1 and enjoying the Bash Candy. *smirk*

In gaming news... I brought the Silver and Gold downloadable games and gave the Silver code to my college bound kid and kept the Gold for me. My youngest, Allison, got me hooked on Monster Hunter Stories. I played the free download and loved it so much I went to GameStop and brought myself the game and got a download code for some in game accessories my youngest tells me are legendary eggs. The game is kind of - but not really quite like - Pokemon. You battle monsters, you raid their nests, you hatch their eggs, and you train the monster up by battling other monsters. I love it!! I blame Pokemon... but I still love it.

Also got my Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon on layaway at GameStop. Man! That store loves my family! Talk about seeing a sucker! LOL

But for now it's getting late and I have to go see what the SWSHY prize was that I have to buy. 2nd time I failed at the SWSH since coming back. I don't like this failure feeling. Hopefully I'll hatch a shiny Pikachu Wannabe soon though. If it's only a matter of time then I'm really close to my egg count expectation for it to be a shiny. Right? LOL

[Running On Ice]

Any word on what the SWSH reward is? I didn't manage to hatch a shiny in time and I don't see anything new to buy in the Prize Shop yet.

Darth mentioned in the Month of October thread that it's not done yet but it should be available pretty soon.

Hard to believe that it's October already! This year has been flying by!


I'm working on the Keldeo exploration first, so could you pleaee feed Suicune here a Pecha Berry?

[Naixatloz]

SWSH reward is a Zygarde Voucher. No idea which forme it gives.

[eludicatorflame]

On the bright side of not finishing the swsh, at least now I can actually hunt a ghost-type on october hehe (still need to get a shiny mimikyu)

[AregularFrankief...]

Speaking of Cosmog, for a few seconds I was actually considering picking it..then I decided to hold off because I was wondering whether or not somebody had already chosen it for this month. By the looks of things, I guess that no one did. Oops?

EDIT: Meant did, not was. I cannot language when I'm tired.

October already? Can't believe one month is already done for the new school year. I don't know which egg to go for since I think I have all of them. I will probably just keep my party open then. In terms of explorations I know I need azelf still, though need to finish that burning desire first.

[Ichthus]

Didn't managed to hatch my (supposed to be) third shiny for the SWSH, but that's okay. I wonder what Zygarde forme the voucher will give, can't wait. Also, I think I'll go with Tapu Lele in this month's egg distribution.

[Mamanator]

Zygarde forms? Ooooo! Neat! How I hope it'll be no more than 30 per voucher, but gah! I"m fearing it'll be 50. Aren't there like... a lot of forms for Zygarde? I haven't played all the way through to know. I think I'm working on my second trial or... closing in on that in the game. LOL

[miu]

Hey guys, guess who hatched two hours after the SWSH ended?
-shiny link removed-

So because of timezone differences, it's actually about 9:30 AM here; last night after getting the eggs from the Shelter, I actually thought, hey what if one of these is actually shiny, should I wake up before 7 AM on a Sunday morning just to be disappointed it's not? And decided against it and just sleep in, 'cause it's Sunday, you know? Haha well at least I managed to get my Alolan Rattata on time, and not drag my Cutiefly hunt like I am with Rockruff from two months ago.

Reason for edit: No linking shinies in here, please! There's a special thread for that. ^^
