January Community Thread!


The December Community thread has been moved http://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=74461

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!

RulesMonthly 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!

January Egg Distribution!


How to get an egg from this eventIMPORTANT 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. There have been about 3k users online daily and there are only 1,750 eggs going out, so that at least gives you a little more than a 50% chance at getting something.
  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

Happy New Year!

Not sure which one of the raffle Pokemon I'll go for, they are all so lovely! I think I'll try for Raikou, maybe I'll get the guaranteed shiny grin.gif.

Happy New Year everyone. happy.gif

Hm.... I'll just leave my party open each day and take what I get.

Exactly. That's the only way to work it. {Not that I NEED a shiny Pokii. But that's beside the point.}

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Jan 1 2017, 12:10 AM

I was so confused at first. Darn west coast time. I kind of miss being on server time lol. Going to try for a buttload of coins today. Currently hunting Pokii so I think I'll keep my party closed until that day.

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Jan 1 2017, 12:17 AM

I'm too tired for anything I have the spirit of an eighty year old man living in a noisy world rn—--

I'll just grab what I can out of the raffle event thing. nothing I'm particularly desiring to be honest, though I might just go for a novelty and I can't remember if azelf is the one I don't have. The gottdang emotion trio looks too much alike to me oops

Posted by: Yami No Yuugi Jan 1 2017, 12:32 AM

Xerneas. So going for Xerneas. Doing Mewtwo and Mew explorations. Also here's hoping that 2017 is much better than 2016, in general, and in my personal life.

Posted by: Serend Jan 1 2017, 12:34 AM

woohoo another year

Here's hoping this one will be a tad better than the last :p

Posted by: Doom Hunter Jan 1 2017, 12:41 AM

Yes indeed, happy happy new year. I'm still here. Somehow. Still trundling along.

But I have a BAD feeling about 2017. Why? Because the first tv ad was for the 50 Shades sequel. Why. WHYYYYYYY. x.x

On the other hand, yay gen 7 Wymsy.gif

Nope. It's not. You need Mesprit. It took me forever to find that. I tried to do it by hand at first. But after I did Ctrl-F, I found it a lot easier. LOL

I started Mew just so I would have something to do to work on my Activity Score. So, this little monster needs to be fed:

Anybody have any resolutions or any goals?

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Jan 1 2017, 01:25 AM

It's finally 2017! Can't believe it's here!

Not much of a resolution person here, but I guess my goal is to be a better person and not be so emotional sometimes, because I have problems with that a lot.

I'm doing Jirachi first. It took me a while to find the Pokemon needed. I forgot how much of them were needed for this one.

Please feed these three some Chesto berries?

Posted by: Love Jan 1 2017, 01:39 AM

Ahhh, Xerneas! I think I need to keep a free spot on the 4th!
Oops, I got so excited about Xerneas that I forgot a resolution! I've already been working on this one, but standing up to my family more often, especially when I'm in a position where I can educate them. Maybe all they need is a little knowledge!

Posted by: Indigo Dreams Jan 1 2017, 02:20 AM

My New Years' Resolution I guess is to enjoy this year? I'm in 11th grade this year and I'm terrified of graduation two years from now... so I kinda just want to live now instead of procrastinate about the future. ;P

And I like all of these distribution Pokemon and I don't have any of their egg entries either so woohoo.

Posted by: Gigadweeb Jan 1 2017, 02:32 AM

oh man gonna stay up tonight hatching the FUCK outta eggs. decided if I can make it to 2k, I might as well do it, just in case

Posted by: Targaryen Jan 1 2017, 04:55 AM

happy new year everyone. i work so i won't be able to take advantage of the raffle thing (RIP teenage years on GPX+ where I used to be able too lol) i hope everyone's new year is bountiful!

what achievements are you trying to go for on GPX+? the 250k and the Subway Commuter achievements will always be unavailable to me but i hope i'll be able to get Godsend or one of the other more difficult ones!

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Jan 1 2017, 06:54 AM

Happy New Year, everyone!
I wish you all a very healthy, happy, peaceful and fun 2017!

As for resolutions, I'd like to lose some weight after all this eating (which was fun + delicious, but enough is enough haha).
Just taking care of some leftovers today and maybe tomorrow, and then it's all back to normal.
Also, one of my resolutions is to not stress out too much over my new house - take care of one thing at a time, take my time thinking things over and not make too many decisions at once. I want to do this at my own pace!

As for GPX+, I'm looking forward to being nice 'n active today.
It would be really nice if shiny Purple Kecleon decided to appear soon (604 eggs and counting).

As for the distribution Pokémon, I think I might try for Raikou. If that doesn't work out, I'll aim for either Azelf or Xerneas.

Posted by: Munchlax Jan 1 2017, 07:08 AM

Happy New Year! happy.gif

I don't know which one I'm going for. I already have all and no preference to any. I suppose I oughta go for one of the legendaries to increase my chances of finally getting into the Shiny Legendary Club.

No resolutions here. It'll all be forgotten in a week or two after the holiday glitz wears off. The time of year where we pack away all the bright colors and lights, and wait for nature to be green and colorful again.

Good luck in the raffle today, everyone! happy.gif

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 1 2017, 07:56 AM

It was so cool being picked for the raffle, and seeing my name beside one of the choices is a little weird. But hey, I hope everyone likes the Xerneas!

I did not make it to midnight. I made it until 11:35pm and then passed out, because I had been awake since 4 am for work. Add that on to barely eating and drinking a lot of alcohol, and I have one hell of a hangover. Buuuuut, that allows for me to just sit around and click and do stuff on GPX all day!

Posted by: Luneon Jan 1 2017, 08:51 AM

Hm no mystery descriptions this time? oh.gif

I managed to pass the 1500 mark today, and hatched a shiny horsea just now so yay!
Combined with winning the raffle, that's a great start to 2017!

How is new years so far for you guys?

Posted by: Darky Jan 1 2017, 08:55 AM

Happy New year, everybody=) Stay Positive!

Just one question - if today is New Year's Rafflwe and it ends on a server time, do we have to have two slots open, if we want raikou on January 2nd?

Posted by: Shintarooo Jan 1 2017, 09:07 AM

Happy New Year everyone!

Hmm, I think I might try to get Azelf or Xerneas since I don't have them.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Jan 1 2017, 09:17 AM

Well I didn't get much sleep last night so I woke up early and came back to the site. I've been awake since 7 am when I went to bed at 3, I don't feel tired though, if anything I'm excited. I can't wait to see how many coins I end off with this year, last year I barely made 1500, I'm over 2k now.

I started the Mew exploration for something to do, this poor Kabuto needs some Sweet Pecha Berries:

https://r.gpx.plus/bVnNA

I don't have a New Years Resolution, I don't believe in making them. Half the time I don't even stick to them laughing.gif.

Posted by: Stevesuke Nakamura Jan 1 2017, 09:46 AM

Happy new year everyone cat.gif I hope 2017 is good to every single on of you happy.gif

I'mma try go for Xerneas, I like the Eternity Deer XD maybe even get a shiny so I have Toothpaste Stag :p

I made it well past midnight, but to me it's not a massive deal to me so yeah.

I don't have a lot of coins, not even 500 as I type this so I won't be top tier... I'm just hoping for some scratchcards tbh.

https://r.gpx.plus/imlNA feed mah sheep a sweet berry pls? I wanna get through this task happy.gif

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 1 2017, 10:39 AM

I went on a Sky Gift spree earlier, so you may have gotten one from me!

I do think that I can get a lot of stuff done on the site today, but I have a horrible headache and I can't find my mouse, so this may be a bit more wonky than I wanted.

It is also weird to think that I will be 22 in about a week. Not exactly an exciting age.

No unless you're not going to be online on the 2nd, since that giveaway will be at around 10 4pm server time.

I might have gotten one from you happy.gif


I decided to start an exploration to force myself to be active today (not only for the NY raffle, I'm almost out of shelter grabs). I noticed that out of the ones available this month, the Jirachi one is the only one I've done more than once, lol. So I started the Mew one and I might do Darkrai after it.


Speaking of that, this guy needs a Pecha!

Posted by: Shintarooo Jan 1 2017, 12:15 PM

I just started the Darkrai exploration since that's the only one I haven't done ever though I have Darkrai already. I might start the Mew one after that. c:

I have about 900 coins now and I'm trying to get over 1,000.

I'm going for the raffle, plus I already have enough coins for a Legend Voucher (which I'll hold onto until after all the distributions). And I'm trying to get all the achievements as well-it's going pretty smoothly since I unlocked like, 3 in the past couple days.

Depends on when you wake up :P

The raffle will happen today (January 01) at reset, at 11:55PM US time, I think. (That's.... 5:55AM where I live)
Meanwhile the distribution will happen tomorrow (January 02) at 4PM US time (that's 10PM where I live)

So if you wake up BEFORE 4pm US time then it's ok to just leave 1 spot open.
If you wake up much later, then leave 2 open.

At 2100 coins and am #9 in Site Activity grin.gif. Clicking is so slow atm lol.

How many shinies has everyone gotten out of the event? I've gotten 9 !

Posted by: Tulaash Jan 1 2017, 05:10 PM

Wow, I can't believe it's already 2017! Time sure does fly by. I'm probably going to end the dreidel event with about 650 coins. I'll be glad with whatever I get, since I enjoy the scratch cards! Also, I was looking in the shelter and I saw an Ancient Jigglypuff for the first time (I already had one, so I didn't take it). Wow, are the ancient Pokemon huge! I did claim an Ancient Alakazam, which is the last one I needed, so now I have all three. Thank you, Rhapsody!

As I said in the last thread, if you want me to breed any Pokemon, I'd be glad to do it. I have Alolan Vulpix, Alolan Sandshrew, Mimikyu, Mareanie, Honedge, Cyndaquil, Feebas, Petilil, Cottonee, and now, Dewpider. I also have a few Pokemon in the Johto balls/beast balls, if anyone is interested.

You know, this task isn't so bad. For some odd reason, it feels like that Dedenne is worse... (I'm going to regret saying that, aren't I). So, could you please feed him a Pecha berry? Thanks!

Kyurem would be more predictable but not enough Raikou eggs in my recorder :P
I think I'll go for the double Raikou!

Let's see.... I got...

Shiny Nidoran M
Shiny Magikarp
Shiny Nidoran F
and Shiny Horsea

As for coins I only have 1700, but that's A LOT more than I got last time. In fact I only got a few hundred coins in all former editions of this event.
My activity score stat says number #96 atm.

Pretty cool number and I hope it stays like this but I'll prolly drop at least 100 spots as soon as I go to bed :/ so I'm thinking about staying up till 6AM for reset, but idk... I am tired because I didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday.
Yesterday I dozed off 2 minutes before reset and I thought it was pretty embarrassing.

But yeah if I doze off then I doze off and I hope I at least remember to keep a spot open in my party

This event is cool though because I got a few ditto out of it, 2 summoned legendaries, and a few Unown because almost nobody seems to be paying attention to those atm :P

None at all, actually. sad.gif That's a shame since I'm hunting several gen 1 things, too.

Happy New Year, all. My NYE wasn't good at all, but today is slightly better. At least I got some long-needed cleaning done. There's a long to-do list I need to take care of, in fact, so what better time than the new year?

Looks like I'll probably get close to 1,000 coins tonight. Good enough for me. Edit: Or not. I spun the dreidel twice and lost coins both times. :/

I believe you. I hatched four Sh. Magikarp during this event. facepalm.gif

I also hatched a Sh. Meowth, Sh. Venonat, Sh. Geodude, and Sh. Machop. Wow, I didn't realize it was that many. I'm currently working on Mankey, Magnemite, and Farfetch'd. Figured I'd get to working on trying to get a shiny of every pokemon while I'm clicking around instead of relying on luck and SWSHs.

Three, all Magikarp, finishing a long-standing hunt, so that was nice. Guess I can have a Gyarados and a mega as well. grin.gif

I have 800 coins now, which is the most I've done (I had around 500 last Feb.), and 26 entries to the raffle. I really hope one of them gets me something good! But I'm gonna sleep now so I'll just have to wake up to it.

Posted by: Tyranisaur Jan 1 2017, 07:55 PM

Over the course of this event, the shines I've hatched are: 6 Magikarps, 4 Caterpies, 2 Pidgeys and 1 Zubat. On top of that, I hatched a shiny Festive Makuhita today. After all the time I've spent on the site this event, it will be nice to take some time to do other things, hopefully get in some more Overwatch before that event ends.

Posted by: Yami No Yuugi Jan 1 2017, 08:01 PM

I got one shiny during the event-a Shiny Weedle. I did, however, FINALLY get my Shiny Burmy during prep for the event (was hatching tons of non-G1 'mons I was already hunting to clear up spots).

I hope so, too!
But since RNG is random there's always a chance that even if you own 99.9% of the entries, that it's going to be the 1 entry which you didn't get, that wins.
It was like that a couple months ago with the community thread raffle.
All the winners only had 3 or 4 posts which I thought was really cool because it encourages people to post even if it's just once.

With RNG everyone has a chance to win and I really like that to be honest.
Even if that means I win nothing :P
I like to watch other people's reactions to winning because each person responds in a different way and seeing all the variations is awesome.

In regards to shinies hatched during the event, only 2 gave me a shard.
I've hatched Shiny: Seel, Poliwag, Farfetch'd, Drowzee, Staryu and 3 Magikarp.

Just less than 100 coins away from 6k, no more karp eggs pls x_x.gif

welp I finally made it to 2k eggs and have approximately 46 entries

god I am so keen for this to end, tbh at this point I'm more excited for the scratch cards than the voucher, I just love not knowing what I'm gonna get from those

Posted by: Earth Jan 1 2017, 09:06 PM

Got to 5k coins at midnight yesterday (10am already here), so pretty much coasting coins-wise and now completing the TBD tasks I stalled in order to rack up the coins. I'm already okay with my haul, and then a lot of PoGo this afternoon.

Good luck to all of us I guess in the raffle, vouchers and scratch cards.

One. Eevee. And I got THAT one while hatching eggs for the Normal pokehunt. Gen I, of course, so it still counted.

Ha. That's hilarious. I filled my Party with Gen I eggs, as well as a Flaming Zorua, and as soon as I got back to my Party page I found the Special Exploration item I needed. So now I have to wait until an egg hatches to advance my exploration. Oops?

I currently have 727 coins and 10 entries in the Raffle.

I suppose it's possible. considering I didn't see it until I clicked another egg.
I was trying to memorize the descriptions for the two, seeing as Geodude hatches faster I can get more coins

A bit late, but happy New Year, everyone! I don't normally do resolutions, but this year I've resolved to be a better friend and be better about staying in contact with people I care about. And to be more active on GPX+, of course! Right now I'm trying to finish TBD which I'm regretting attempting more and more each day so I can do the Mewtwo and Jirachi explorations, as I'm still missing those... Please feed this Kecleon some Cheri Berries so I can get him out of my party!

https://r.gpx.plus/YZINA

Thought I was doing alright in terms of activity with my 500+ coins, buuut learning how many everyone here has made me realize just how much I missed due to my busyness over the holidays. sweat.gif By the way, where can I find a list of prizes from the last Hanukkah event? I wasn't around when it happened and I'd like to get an idea of what I'll get.

How many shinies has everyone gotten out of the event? I've gotten 9 !

I got a shiny Rhyhorn five eggs into my hunt, which was nice, but I haven't gotten any more shinies since.

What are you all hoping gets chosen for this month's SWSH? I'm throwing in votes for Munchlax, Skiddo, and Spritzee, since those are three I plan on hunting in the near future and haven't been a part of past SWSHs, but I have a feeling none of those are popular enough to win.

I don't know what I'm voting for in the SWSH. I guess I don't really care that much about it, but I suppose I'll just pick things that I don't have shinies of yet.

Not gonna break 900 coins after all. I WOULD have, but thanks to a bunch of nuns and heis, that's not happening. :/ Oh well.

My New Year's resolutions are just to lose more weight and improve on my work situation. Staying on top of things would be another big one as well.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 1 2017, 10:24 PM

Shinies so far: Popplio (hatched during event), Kangaskhan, Magikarp, Diglett, Farfetch'd, and Winter Vulpix. I'm hoping to get another one before I go to bed, but it is not looking promising.

Right now I'm sitting around 1800 coins and 62 entries for the raffle, which isn't bad for the busy day I've had.

My poor boyfriend passed out about an hour ago, and now he's just snoring beside me.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Jan 1 2017, 10:33 PM

I am now super close to getting 5,000 coins. Can't wait until I get back to my Alola hunts.

As for shinies, I hatched 17 of them. I got 4 Magikarps, 2 Caterpies, 2 Zubats, 2 Rattatas, a Machop, a Koffing, a Sandshrew, an Oddish, a Voltorb, a Spearow and a Pidgey.

EDIT:
Make that 18. Just hatched a Weedle.

Thank you! Looks like I'll at least be getting some Scratch Cards, and I'm satisfied with that.

Posted by: Rita Zyon Jan 1 2017, 11:23 PM

No shinies hatched, but I am almost at 800 coins. Hoping I get to it before the event ends. Can't remember how much I got last time but I am pretty sure I did more this time around.

Posted by: Yami No Yuugi Jan 1 2017, 11:30 PM

A recheck revealed I won't have enough for a legend voucher, but I was only going for scratch cards anyways, so it works out.

Posted by: x Sam Jan 1 2017, 11:55 PM

Maaaaaan I'm sat on 6398 coins and 350k activity score. Really wanted to hit 6400 as-well.. oh well.

Thanks for being a great challenge the last few days, holly, if you read this :] it's been a fun event! Can't wait to see what sort of prizes we'll get.

Posted by: Hitaka5Ever Jan 1 2017, 11:59 PM

Couldn't do much yesterday in terms of Activity and I tried to get 500 coins, but was shy 7 (my Dreidel luck was average) but overall I had fun with these events! Looking forward to the prizes!

Posted by: Indigo Dreams Jan 2 2017, 12:01 AM

These events were amazing and I'm anxiously anticipating what I'm gonna get (if anything). Now to mentally prepare for the SWSH. grin.gif ~

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 2 2017, 12:01 AM

Well, the event is over and I managed to get a shiny Poliwag from the last batch of eggs! Another hunt off of my list.

I don't know when it is also going to be processed and what not, but I should probably go to bed soon. I hope the prizes are pretty darn cool.

I don't think the script ran. Maybe Zerx messed up with the timezones again? Maybe he's just busy atm.

Posted by: x Sam Jan 2 2017, 12:03 AM

It says raffle stuff will be some time after reset or so. Give it another hour. You'll know the raffle is happening as the site will be offline for a while.

Or at least, it took a while last time anyway! Was fun to watch eggs appear in people's parties in their signatures.

e: In total the shinies I hatched were: Seel, Poliwag, Farfetch'd, Staryu, Drowzee, Weedle and 4 Magikarp, so 10 in total. Pretty pleased with this! Now if only all this effort could be done with my actual shiny hunts..

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Jan 2 2017, 12:06 AM

Oh my god my poor wrists are killing me. I ended up doing nearly 70k in clicks today, I had to stop the last ten minutes because they were aching. I ended up beating my old activity score back in 2012. I also beat my old coin count as well as most eggs hatched in a single day. I think I was number 1 in Pass Orbs and Pokemon Obtained. I don't think I'm going to be clicking for quite some time.

I was 14th in Activity Score yesterday and went from 31st to 17th for most coins for the event. I tried hard the past four days to get enough coins, I didn't think I'd get as high as I did. I'll take the 2801 coins I got for the event, beating my old score by nearly 1400 coins last year.

I ended up hatching 4 shinies for the event, Zubat, Paras, Nidoran ♀ and Weedle. I started shiny hunts for both Magikarp and Caterpie but didn't get either of them. I'm still going to continue those hunts until I get them, but man, I'm taking a small break from it.

I will say that I ended up having a lot of fun with this event. I had an extremely slow start at the beginning due to work, but I boosted up past my expectations. I hope everyone likes what they get, I doubt I'll have the Shiny Legend Voucher but I worked hard.

HP, too. I generally try to stick to either overly humorous (eg. A Black Comedy and Seventh Horcrux) or canon-compliant ones (like most of Northumbrian's work). I dunno, never been too big of a fan of serious AU fics. What about you?

Eh. Some of the AU are okay. I try to stay away from the slash stuff mostly. But if it's in the background {Sirius/Remus, etc} it's okay. No overt things like Harry/Draco.

I like some where Harry is in either Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Not that I can list any stories at the moment, since I read sooo many, all the storylines tend to bleed together. I like the time travel stuff. And I've been reading one where the time traveler is NOT Harry, but Ron instead. He ends up in an AU where the Potter-Who-Lived isn't Harry, but a girl instead. And yes, they actually call her that in story. Not certain is she's a female Harry or an entirely new character, but it seems both she and Hermione are ALSO time travelers, but not from Ron's original universe. It's called The Red Knight. Still a WiP, though.

Posted by: Vicious Jan 2 2017, 01:01 AM

I managed to get approximately 1300 coins, that's good 'nuff for me. Could have done more, but nearing the end I was getting pretty tired of hatching gen 1 and looked for my main hunts again.
But I got shiny Zubat, Meowth, Aerodactyl and Spearow! I like them a lot, so I'm glad I got those. Didn't get Pidgey yet, but I'm sure I will soon enough.

Posted by: Serend Jan 2 2017, 01:06 AM

Ended up with 1,815 coins and an activity score of 66,049. Not expecting anything special tbh. I would've tried harder but the lag kinda discouraged me, but oh well.

I didn't try very hard with hatching so I'm not surprised.

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Jan 2 2017, 08:21 AM

Everyone talking about the shinies they got during the event and here I am with the shiny carnivine I randomly got when I misclicked lol love that goofy killer plant

I can't complain because I hatched three bebbies right before the event started and ive been too exhausted with moving and life to do anything. I remember completing a scavenger hunt task with my phone battery at like 30% while sitting on the beach with my extended fam. w e l p

Seems like everyone is getting tapu koko!!!! Including me!!! So pleased that I've done this well u.u I think I just finished outside of the top 100 with coins because u all get crazy when I get sleepy....

Still dunno who I'm looking for, but as Ric pointed out back on page one I definitely have an Azelf I was too lazy to look for lol. Just see what I remember to leave a slot open for since moving is euururghh

I can't wait till we finally get out of here. I miss being able to rp ;~;

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 2 2017, 08:24 AM

Hey, that's a rather neat prize! I just summoned mine, so let's see what happens.

Speaking of summons, during the event I got four summoning items from the Underground, and there were far too many eggs for me to attempt to do it. Red Ord, Magma Rock, Lunar Wing, and Gracidea Flower.

I wonder when the coins prizes will be handed out.

I've just summoned my own Tapu Koko and I've more or less been unspoiled for Sun/Moon, so I don't even know what it looks like XD Can't wait! The events were really fun this time round.

I only got a Sh. Shellder by the end of it all, but I was quite all right with that.

@Cryptic: that's a lot of summoning items from the underground, hope that the numbers go down in the lab for you soon to utilise them...

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Jan 2 2017, 11:13 AM

So the black/white stones are finally in the prize shop?

And I'm surprised I even got Tapu Koko. Woke up with nothing in my party, checked the Pokedex and saw Tapu Koko. Figured I might as well see if scratch card prizes were added last night too and scrolled down to vouchers in my inventory and saw him.
I am curious how all four Tapus will be given out later on. Doing an exploration three times is tedious enough for some just waiting for it to return, can't imagine doing one a grand total of four times. :P

Looking at the top 10 that's a pretty high amount. And comparing to last year's, you'll probably get the top prize. happy.gif For various reasons (mostly GPX+ related, but personal reasons also got in the way) I got a bit more than one fifth of your amount (and a bit less than last year's).

I actually really like this idea! I know I want a lot of shinies, but this would be a little fun "game" to play while getting them. We could all make a list of what our pokemon would be, or we could just choose, get them, and then name them after whoever.

I like that idea. I try to do themes every now and then for motivation. Currently hunting pokemon classified as black in the dex.

Posted by: Rita Zyon Jan 2 2017, 02:39 PM

I was very happy to see the tapu voucher this morning. I am excited to see the coin prizes too, especially though for the scratch cards because I really like surprises. I did end up getting to 800 which I was stoked about. Snorunt would be an interesting choice, though I already submitted my votes. Chingling was one of my choices, as it is on my list of future shiny hunts.

I actually really like this idea! I know I want a lot of shinies, but this would be a little fun "game" to play while getting them. We could all make a list of what our pokemon would be, or we could just choose, get them, and then name them after whoever.
I'm in!

Also, accidentally took a 2.5 hour nap. Oops.


I was thinking of getting people to choose a Pokemon they really really like (something that can actually be hunted, though) and a master list was compiled or something.

Not sure where it would go, however.

I voted for Krabby, Venonat and Snorunt. Krabby and Venonat are merely there so that I can tackle some missing shiny entries (Kingler and Venomoth). I choose Snorunt as my last because you guys talked about it. I never know what to vote for and I don't really care that much about what ends up being choosen. I just hope that I get to hunt something that I don't have at all or that I'm missing an evolution. But I'm guessing that we'll end up having at least one of the Alolan starters in there.

Eee, it snowed this morning! I actually overslept pretty badly though, so my reaction upon waking up was something like "Ooh snow it looks so pretty in the it's light out?" xD.gif And it wasn't boring like one snowflake per minute, it was the perfect Christmas card-esque flurry! It's the happiest, most stressful morning I've had all year tongue.gif
As for the swishy, I voted Shroomish, Skarmory and Maractus, just pokemon I'm already hunting, but wish more people would breed...

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Jan 2 2017, 03:32 PM

Woke up this morning at 7 to see a lovely Tapu Koko Voucher sitting in my inventory happy.gif. I was 14th in Activity Score yesterday so I'm happy that I got one! I haven't used it just yet, I'm going to wait and see what the Hanukkah Event will bring. I thought we'd be getting our prizes by now but that makes the suspense more interesting.

I have to work tonight for 4 hours, our shifts got cut back to 32 hours a week. I'm not going to complain about it, as it means I'll be working 6-7 hour days. Working 8 hours during Christmas was brutal, especially with my bad back. I'm glad that I got a break for a few days but now it's back to the grind.

I'm not sure what I'm voting for the SWSH. I'll decide later on what I'll go after. I'll probably go with what voted for last time, I just got to find the post. I'll probably pick Snorunt as one of them seeing as I saw it mentioned here, could be fun.

I wonder what new things the site will have in 2017?

The Tapu Koko that I saw looks interesting. It must be an Alola mon.

Yep grin.gif
If you didn't get (or play) Sun or Moon yet, now may be the perfect time
GPX+ will not spoil the story but eventually all the Pokémon will be added to the site.


Posted by: Cao Jan 2 2017, 04:03 PM

I'm going to be honest - I completely forgot about the monthly distribution! I was in the middle of clicking for an exploration and suddenly all these pop ups inform me that an event distribution is in progress! I've never had that happen to me before haha.
But I'm super happy with my Raikou egg! <33

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 2 2017, 04:05 PM

See, I was very confused about the distribution for a second. Since I picked Xerneas, I didn't think I could get another one. But there is a Raikou in my party now because I was trying to fill a spot when the event script went through.

@ Sam - I was thinking about a list, too. I'm not sure where it would be housed, though.

Posted by: x Sam Jan 2 2017, 04:06 PM

Hope everyone enjoys their Diego
Got me two Raikou eggs today so I'm happy with that. First one wasn't shiny, so fingers crossed that this second one is!

@Cryptic: Yeah I'm not too sure.. I wouldn't want to ask for it to be put in here at all because I wouldn't be able to edit it with ease. I'm sure there'll be something I can come up with maybe.

Posted by: Alchemists Fire Jan 2 2017, 04:06 PM

Happy New Year everyone! I joined GPX about a month and a half ago and its' been SO MUCH FUN!
Here's to another awesome year!

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get another egg in the distribution - I got Entei last month, and was SOOOO happy, cause at that point I'd only been on the site for about 2-3 weeks

I have a feeling I just missed the Raiku egg hand-out cause I forgot about the timing xD Oh well, will cross my fingers for the other days! Good luck everyone!

Posted by: Shintarooo Jan 2 2017, 04:17 PM

I said I will try to get Azelf or Xerneas but well, I had one open slot in my party and there it is, a Raikou egg. grin.gif Well I don't mind, Raikou is nice!

Posted by: Esc Jan 2 2017, 04:17 PM

I'm probably going for Azelf or Xerneas. Already have a shiny Raikou :P.
I wonder when the awards will be announced/distributed.

Posted by: Rita Zyon Jan 2 2017, 04:31 PM

I am hoping for azelf though I will be happy with xerneas too. Since I still need both.

Posted by: Gryphaena Jan 2 2017, 04:41 PM

If anyone looks for dofo they'll find one from me since i just missed one from my Daycare.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Jan 2 2017, 04:50 PM

Didn't get Raikou, oh well. Usually I end up getting the very first event when I forgot to fill my party to get a later event lol.
I might opt out of Xerneas, just cause I have one. And I know some people don't.

A spreadsheet on Google Docs, maybe? It could be linked on signatures, people could sign up themselves...

Or if you prefer something simpler a pastebin doc would be ok, I guess.


I forgot about the distribution and missed out on Raikou, but I wasn't specifically aiming for it, so... I'll try to remember and keep an open slot on the next days to see if I can get something.

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Jan 2 2017, 05:37 PM

So glad to hear everyone is enjoying Tapu Koko's sprite and egg design!
I certainly had fun making them! I really appreciate the compliments, thank you very much guys. <3

Didn't win a voucher, but I enjoy seeing them on the site.

I completely forgot about today's distribution, and I really wanted Raikou. :c
I'll think I'll just try for Azelf next, and if I forget about that one too, it's on to Xerneas (omg would love that shiny)!

Posted by: Manah Jan 2 2017, 05:38 PM

No mystery eggs this time? I think I'll go for Azelf, or Xerneas if I forget to keep a slot open tomorrow. For explorations, I'll definitely do Darkrai, and then... one of the others. I probably won't be on here much next week, so I'll postpone explorations anyway.

I got one shiny from hatching pokemon for the event, Cubone. Which is also the random shiny I got in Moon a while ago. Also hatched Popplio, but that was a hunt.
And I won a Tapu Koko voucher as well. I'm very tempted to name it Tapu Cocoa...

Achievements, I have only two left to get, the one with the male Cloysterman (too many other novelties to breed), and Master Commuter. I'm not working on that unless I'm on DotW task 11.

I probably won't do the user shiny thing, but it's a really nice idea! For the list, how about a spreadsheet? (Flight Rising has corrupted me, I guess.)

I've seen him and the egg (I think) around in a few people's parties - he's pretty cool
How do you find out if you had enough coins for the voucher? I haven't seen any more announcements or anything on the Scavenger hunt... I'm gonna bet I didn't have enough coins xD

Posted by: Luneon Jan 2 2017, 05:50 PM

I got Raikou as well grin.gif
Didn't expect that to happen at all

The Tapu Koko sprite looks pretty good btw.
For something so small it looks very detailed.

It was from the New Years Raffle. Only 350 users got it randomly.

Posted by: Vicious Jan 2 2017, 06:35 PM

I caught a sore throat from my family at Christmas, so I felt like crap today and slept a whole lot... So I was really happy that I woke up to a Raikou :D Also a Tapu voucher, and I know both of those things were random, but I wanted to say thank you anyway~ They gave me a smile when feelin' like junk.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Jan 2 2017, 07:40 PM

Yeah, count me in on the crowd loving Tapu Koko's sprite. It looks absolutely AMAZING.
Didn't get a good look at it earlier as I was playing some Watch Dogs 2 multiplayer when it hatched

Seeing as I'm not good with this technology thing, I'll keep this spreadsheet so only I can edit it. Have had things in the past go rogue and people delete things or add in stuff so.

Spreadsheet has been made, if you guys could comment here (or send me a PM!) with a shiny, nickname and gender and I'll add it in.

Well I'm home from work, it was so damn slow today. I'm glad we had the radio to listen to music because I think I might have fallen asleep laughing.gif. Thank heavens I'm off work tomorrow.

Checked my party and saw I got a Raikou egg, so I'm pleased. I kept my party completely empty because I wanted to remember about Raikou so I could get one. I won't have the shiny one, but Raikou is my favorite of the legendary beasts so I'm glad I got one.

Seeing as everyone is posting, here's mine:

Pokemon: Houndoom
Gender: Either is fine
Nickname: Sage or Asbel

I go by Sage on other sites, Asbel here so either name is fine, I'm not picky tongue.gif.

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Jan 2 2017, 09:44 PM

I cannot believe I hatched a shiny bulbasaur today. I was gonna take a little break too since I don't need to hatch gen 1s. 8(

And I got a Raikou! idc if I had one before but that's fine. I'm patient and I need teh shinez. (I did not get teh shinez)

In the SWSH I voted for Weedle (because beedrill is the greatest Pokemon ever, obviously) and Koffing and I picked a random gen 7 starter but tbh if I can switch out I'll probably switch it for Snorunt. Love my spooky hockey mask sphere guy (oh and frosslass too)

Alright so here we go happy.gif

Seeing as it's a new year and the site has been revived for a couple of years with the Community Thread etc, so I was just sitting about thinking what to shiny hunt after I've finished these few hunts I have leftover.

I was thinking about hunting some specific shinies and naming them after people who post here, if people would be cool with that idea? Don't have to do it, just think it would be a fun thing to do seeing as we all seem to get on with one another quite well!
It would give us an incentive to hunt things, get shards and perhaps be a little bit of fun! Not sure how it would work in terms of stuff though, I suppose comment and we'll go from there?



This is an incredibly brilliant idea tbh!! I have so many shinies and no clue whar to nickname them (my luxray is named after a friend of mine because they happened to be talking about how much they love luxray when I hatched him lol) so I think it would be cool to have more Pokemon with names that Mean Something™. Lord knows I could never have named my shiny Dialga ‘Bob’. I might pass on imputing my name in. 8( I'm associated with 2 many Pokemon goddang it. I wish you the best of luck, dear ;;/

Pokemon: Corsola
Gender: Female

I also ended up grabbing one of the leftover bred Dittos from the beginning of the Hanukkah event. I was surprised there were still some left that weren't donated yet at that point.

EDIT:
I'm thinking of changing my username again to something, you guessed it, Billy Joel-related. I've been really into his stuff for a couple years now and I've been WoS for nearly four years. Maybe Uptown Girl or something but I don't even look even the least like Christie Brinkley and it would just be weird.

EDIT again:
Oh, he has a song called "Running On Ice". Might go with that one because that one's kind of the opposite of my current one. Aaaaaaand done.

I'm insanely jealous of the 12 people who got Shiny Legend Vouchers. If I only got another 700 coins I would have been one of them, but at least I got the Shiny Voucher Plus! I can finally finish my darn shiny Zergoose hunt. I've been after this for ages so I'll be glad to have one hunt off my list.

I haven't used the Scratch Cards yet, I'll get on that soon. I don't need any of the Rare Evolution items, I'll probably sell any I get so look in the back room sometime soon happy.gif.

Great news for those still needing a Volcanion, too, as it's been added to the Sh. Legend Voucher Plus. Same with the Alolan starters for the regular shiny voucher. I hope people will be pleased about this!

Its actually fine bc I have every other legendary anyway and I'm not too adamant on trying to hatch a shiny version for any of them. So if it is for Volcanion, I'll either use it or sell it for someone else to nab happy.gif

Got only scratch cards from the event - 13. I got a few items I didn't have yet, like a light stone. snowball, and the prison bottle. Just need to get an extra hoopa now and a kyurem/zekrom (might need to double check my boxes again in case I do have them). I have a bunch of summoning items that I have gotten too over the last so many months that I am hoping to use soon when the lab has less eggs in it.

I'm guessing we're gonna get the island deity explorations next month or the month after. The dex entry for Tapu Koko says it's obtained through special exploration.
Gonna be taking a bit of a break from gpx - until the SWSH. Need to catch up on gaming!

Well I didn't even get a Legend Voucher Plus this time, which surprised me, since I actually got more Coins this time than last time. I suppose if you know you aren't going to get 1000+ Coins or so, don't waste your energy whyme.gif Although I'm not complaining, I already knew I wasn't going to get that many Coins and I'm fine with what I did put in. I just need more DNA Splicers from these scratchcards now oh.gif

I immediately used my shiny voucher on Duskull because I love shiny Dusclops instead of something rare like a Ditto... oops.

I'm still getting the one-egg achievement for it, though, which for some reason I don't have :v

You know, I hadn't even thought about using it for Ditto. I still need to think about it, but I may just use it for that.

I wasn't too active over the event, but hey, no use crying over spilled milk. Plus, I got DNA Splicers now, so assuming that's added to the prize shop rotation now, I can correct my mistake and evolve my Shiny Charizard into Mega Charizard Y like I initially intended.

My haul from Shiny Hunting over Christmas Break wasn't too shabby. Got a Shiny Delibird on Christmas Day, Shiny Eevee (which I evolved into Umbreon) on the 28th I think, and Shiny Cubone (which I evolved into Alola Marowak) this Sunday. All on Pokemon Moon, SOS method. I'll eventually try the Masuda Method when I'm on one of those long car trips. As a side hunt, I've also been periodically soft resetting for Shiny Type: Null.

I finally popped in Pokemon Moon this morning after things are pretty much winding down on all fronts. I couldn't believe the entire 'movie' that was set up that I had to go through... It was pretty neat. I picked Rowlet, named him Sherlock, and went into a couple people's houses. I was surprised by how detailed the places are. The furniture looks really nice! lol.gif

Was X/Y and ORAS like this too? I guess it's been a long time since I quit following the games.

Looks like I ended up with a Shiny Voucher Plus. Sweet! What a fun event. Thanks for making December crazy! happy.gif

Friend of mine used to have a Hetalia one on Tumblr until some drama I'm not going to get into happen. I used to have a multifandom one for an OC as well, but had to abandon it because of some rather...disgusting spam blogs following it. Hoping to find a new place to RP, spambot free.


Except for a few people I know, that's pretty much the majority of my 50 or so followers. It gets real tiring -_-2.gif


there's ways to diminish spam followers. . .I'll have to ask around for anything solid. Usually I juat block said followers, and it helps to uncheck the box that's like "allow search engines to index my blog" or something like that under settings. Lastly, I think certain spam bots and members in general really look for stuff with keywords? Which is why a lot of people censor the topic they're talking about or add symbols to their tags. (I think)

Tumblr is still the best place for me to rp. Been rping the same character for a whole year now consistently and I'm very proud of that ;A; And yeah Hetalia can have a very vicious fandom.

I'm kind of bummed... I only got a regular legendary voucher but eh that's fine. there's bigger things in live to get stressed or angry about. I just depleted my scratch cards and well, nothing exciting but eh, that's life. No use crying over the milk that has spilt, right?

I decided to start the Jirachi exploration since that's the only one I haven't done already. After that, I may attempt Death of the World for the first time. I'm not sure, though...

And I did use my voucher for Shiny Ditto and the Good Luck achievement. Feels a little grimy. Oh well.

I'm currently on Deep Desires to get myself a Darkrai. I might do Needing a Friend next. Definitely not doing Deep in the Laboratory this month. I'll definitely also try to get a Mewtwo egg on one of those giveaways at the beginning of each month if one shows up so I won't have to worry about that exploration.

I'm really loving Pokemon Sun and Moon even in the small post-game. Then again, I'm pretty much occupying myself with Shiny Hunting so other people might say otherwise on their opinion of the post-game. On the topic of characters, I like all of them. Though I would like to say

The game lagged like crazy during double battles on my 3DS. That and when I wanted to turn off the console. They really squeezed the hardware this time and the next gen will most likely be Switch exclusive, with DPPt remakes being cross-platform.

My in-game team ended up being: Lesnar (Incineroar), Johnny (Vikavolt), Steph (Mismagius), Margareth (Toucannon), Logan (Kommo-o), Mars (Golisopod). happy.gif

Posted by: Tulaash Jan 3 2017, 12:25 PM

I think i've already said something about the team I finished S/M with, but I'll say it again grin.gif I finished with Azura the Primarina, Rhajat the Vikavolt, Milky the Miltank (who I got over Wonder Trade), Velouria the Lycanroc, the demo Greninja, and Lunala (who everyone else seemed to name the same exact thing - if you played the game, you'll know c;).

Also, for the shiny thing:
Pokemon - Eevee or Furfrou
Gender - Preferably female
Nickname - Tulaash or Tula

Thank you for offering this c: Quite a few of my current shinies are actually named for people that I know already!

Posted by: x Sam Jan 3 2017, 12:30 PM

My final team ended up being: Decidueye, Lycanroc [Midday], Toxapex, Kommo-o, Golisopod, and Salazzle happy.gif The Toxapex I got from a WT and had egg moves including Stockpile, which was so much help as I had a huge weakness to Ground and Psychic types.. ugh, haha. Didn't really think it through either!

Post game I've got all the UB's and I'm working on breeding Shiny and/or Competitive Pokémon. Battle Tree is an absolute ballache too.. I managed to get to Red on the Singles but his Charizard absolutely swamped me.

@Tulaash, added c:

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Jan 3 2017, 12:41 PM

So, there's a Shiny thing going on? Eh, might as well.

Pokemon: Eevee (preferably evolving into Umbreon), the Litten line, or Smeargle.
Gender: Preferably female, but since two of these have unbalanced gender ratios, either is fine.
Nickname: CrazyUmbreonLady or CUL.

Speaking of Shinies, should I aim for a Shiny Living Dex? Since I'm a Shiny Hunter, I might as well, right? Now I wish I hadn't evolved the Magikarp on my Moon game when I already got one on Omega Ruby, I could have used it for the Living Dex.

Well I had great shiny luck, I started a matchmaking request and I picked Pichu. I won the race when my shiny Pichu hatched after TWO eggs. I really wasn't expecting a shiny that fast, but I'm happy about it.

I didn't sleep very well last night. I was awake until 4am this morning and I could not for the life of me go to sleep. When I did manage to get to sleep, I got woken up due to my sister dropping my niece off so she could get the bus. Insomnia really sucks.

Driger the shiny Torracat
Gambit the Arcanine
Beowulf the Lycanroc
Froot Loops the Toucannon
Sparkie the Pikachu
Decidueye(no nickname, got it from a wonder trade)

I'm never evolving Driger into an Incineroar considering I absolutely despise the thing. I actually prefer Torracat, I would have kept him a Litten but I'll probably hatch for another shiny one to keep as a Litten. I'm loving Decidueye the most out of the three starters, I wasn't too fond of Rowlet at first but it grew on me.

Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina, the Wi-Fi Snorlax, Solgaleo, and Pikachu. All of which are unnamed. I don't normally nickname my pokemon. Unless they are Ditto for WonderTrade purposes. Or the Yungoos, which I gave the Nickname of Donald Trump before trading away.

I of course got no vouchers because I'm still catching up on all the things I needed to do over the course of the season ^^; but I got five scratch cards!

my haul (click to show)


My E4 team for Moon was...
RbertJohnson the female Primarina
Janis Joplin the Lunala
KristenPfaff the Salazzle
Brian Jones the male Lycanroc (yes, I know, I had the inferior Lycanroc, I'm not planning on using him after this)
AmyWinehouse the Tsareena
Jimi Hendrix the male Palossand

I wanted to use a team of all new 'mons and, if you know anything about the history of rock music, these are members of the 27 Club (which Robert Johnson started, hence that being the name of my starter). The naming scheme came to mind because the instant I saw that damn sandcastle, I ofc got "Castles Made of Sand" stuck in my head and it wouldn't come out, haha.

As far as the postgame goes, I have barely done any of it! I've been focusing on the global mission. I've gotten stuff from the first island using that Mystery Gift Snorlax since he has Hold Back.

e: omg I haven't even caught a wimpod yet ungh

I know. I like that Snorlax. He's a tank who can also help you catch pokemon. That's why I have him in the lead-off position of my Party. The only problem with him, of course, is that Hold Back can't touch ghosts.

As for the Wimpod issue? They are a devil to catch. It might be better to just throw a Quick Ball at them, since if I remember correctly, if you hit them to lower their HP, there is the Ability that makes them run away.

Mine was pretty easy (and I caught another one in Sun). Surf around, run behind them to initiate battle. Throw quick ball.

I got one from Wonder Trade. xD

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Jan 3 2017, 03:20 PM

A quick ball is what I used on him. I just wanted him on my team, don't care about nature or any of that. He was already a pain to even get into the battle with.

If you guys enjoy Ace Attorney (and you're behind on games like I am) the 3ds eshop's Capcom sale ends tomorrow. I grabbed Dual Destinies yesterday for $11.99. Spirit of Justice is $19.99 but I'm trying to stick to a budget this year so I refrained.

@ Sam: Congrats on the shiny! I had to laugh at the hunt lasting 4 yrs. That's nuts but given how Kyurem has to be obtained, makes sense.

You can attack it as long as they stay with more than 50% of their HP.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Jan 3 2017, 04:00 PM

Me, I just hopped on Tauros and just chased after the Wimpod on Akala Island (I think it was Akala). I just tossed a Net Ball at it. I might soft reset for Shiny Wimpod on the ones on Poni Island.

Also, somehow I got voted for Most Likely to Take Over the World in my high school. Doesn't make sense since I'm not very threatening, but my mom interpreted it as me being the most likely to be successful at the levels of Bill Gates or Donald Trump. But then why would they word it like that?

Ha, thanks! I just can't believe the sheer amount of Prize Points I'd spent on the hunt in total too; got to be at least 1400 or so

I used my Sh. Legend Voucher to get me a Celebi! I was also finally able to get Volcanion with the voucher I bought a couple months ago. Now it's just back to having just the rest of the Arceus I have to get. Guess I'll be going for Xerneas for the distribution because that one has a cool shiny as well.

It's one of my favorite legendaries (I have a lot of favorites) mainly because of its color.
The one I had in Diamond I grew kind of attached to.
I think I might still have it in Soul Silver but I'm not sure.

I only have one working DS atm so if I want the one from Diamond in Moon, I'd first have to buy a new (3)DS

(and so far I haven't seen a European 3DS which looks pretty enough that I'd like to buy it)

You can't use the bank with Diamond? It stinks that you have to buy another DS just to get your pokemon in the new game. My boyfriend and I are pretty lucky in that we've been able to trade with each other down the road, then with the Pokemon bank release, we just started using that (unless of course we want to keep items). So I have most of the legendaries, just through releases, events, and captures waiting in my bank. No idea what I'm going to do with them all. xD

Posted by: Manah Jan 3 2017, 06:05 PM

And I forgot about Azelf, as usual sweat.gif Welp, I still need another Xerneas (I think).

Got a shiny Onyx yesterday and a shiny Aerodactyl today (another high maturity hunt done, thank Arceus). It's nice to have some slots back.

I haven't captured a wimpod yet, I am slowly working through my pokedex on moon. Haven't played as much lately due to the event and trying to complete my explorations. My current exploration is for darkrai since I don't have that pokemon yet on here. Just waiting on some oval stones in the shop and I can get to the next stage.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Jan 3 2017, 06:31 PM

I was actually looking for Azelf, since I already have Xerneas and the exploration that Raikou and the rest of its trio is really easy. The exploration Azelf can be obtained from...well, let's just say I got stuck halfway through. I decided the exploration wasn't worth it.

Nope, you first have to transfer your 4th gens to W/B/W2/B2
From there you can transfer to Pokébank I think

Not that I used Pokébank before. I never really saw a use for it other than the promotional events, and I didn't even like most of those ^^;
But I guess if I get my hands on a nice 2nd 3DS then hey why not y'know~

PokéBank only works with XY, ORAS and SM. To transfer a pokémon from Gen IV to Gen VII you would need to transfer it to a Gen V game via Poké Transfer and then use Poké Transporter to transfer it to the PokéBank iirc.

Oh snap, I tried Mystery Gift and was able to download the Munchlax and Snorlium Z. I didn't think I could because I hadn't reached the first pokecenter yet.

For SWSH, I voted Munchlax (Naturally!), Rowlet (In honor of my new starter), and Igglybuff (It jumped out at me while going down the list!).

I looked up the Pokebank that was mentioned here and was stunned to see a QR code for it. I really do need to read the instruction book to see what else I'm missing out on with this New 3DS. I thought it was free but noticed in the fine print that it was 5 bucks a year to use it. Yikes. Guess I'll stick to the boxes in the game.

I don't actually USE the Snorlium Z move, though I do like the actual pokemon. My Snorlax's move set is: High Horsepower, Yawn, Hold Back, and Happy Hour.

Do you have the digital copies of Blue, Red, or Yellow? Because at some point in the near future, you'll be able to use them with PokeBank. I'm waiting for that to happen so I can actually finish playing Blue and Red with all three starters. Yellow is different since you can get all the starters naturally. And in the long run, $5 isn't that bad for a year's access if you have multiple games and want to get them all into the latest.

@ Silver: Yeah. Forget that. My Party is overpowered now. If I use anything OTHER than Hold Back, the poor Wimpod would faint anyway.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Jan 4 2017, 08:28 AM

I got the event Munchlax as well, though I didn't use it in my team. It was just a quick way to get the PokeDex entry, really. I'm also interested in getting PokeBank for the sake of transferring my OR Shinies and the event Manaphy, the latter so I can Masuda Method breed Phione.

Also, I don't like how much Pokemon Nintendo Shiny-locked this gen. I get making the Lunala/Solgaleo you initially have to catch in the end-game uncatchable, but what about being able SR Necrozma and the other Ultra Beasts or

I didn't keep an empty party slot on purpose and the monthly distribution event was furthest from my mind. So when I saw it I had to blink a few times at it to understand. Then it clicked.

What goals does everybody have for GPX+ for 2017, then?

I have a few main goals myself:
I'd like to get back into the top 10 as of when I get a free day to go for a clicking spree. Could try it before I start back at uni, hmm. Might have to see how the next Pass+ feels whilst clicking before I decide.

I need to also get a higher Subway streak before I take on DotW again or I'll be stuck on Task 11 for ages ha.

I don't actually have any goals. Yes, I'd like to complete my Plate collection as well, but I'm not ACTIVELY hunting any of the types I still need. If I see them in passing, sure, I'll grab the egg, but ...

And it might be a while before Pass is active again, since Prize is set to start tomorrow and Pass only has 1% done.

Oh my bad, I meant a Pass counter in general. Evidently my brain is thinking otherwise ha!
I'd like to do it without a Plus day active (which I think is what I was trying to go for but didn't come out right.

My plates are starting to get very specific now and most of the stuff I already have shinies for. The four remaining hunts I have (sans Burmy) should each give me a shard, presuming I don't finish them on the same day, so I'm hoping for that.

Ah. So, if you want to do it WITH an active Plus power, you can do it tomorrow. And if you want to do it WITHOUT, 4 days from now. And I was thinking you wanted the Pass+ so you could grab all 8 trillion eggs from the Shelter to hatch for potential shinies.

I have 6 Plates left to finish myself: Dread {1}, Earth {2}, Icicle {1}, Iron {2}, Meadow {1}, and Sky {3}. So, I only have 10 Shards left to hatch. Or Rank 1 in a weekly hunt, I guess.

My goals for 2017 on GPX include:

-Obtaining Arceus (currently trying to get either ground or water plates. ground because I somehow hatched 2 ground shinies, now I'm stuck trying to get more. water because water shinies tend to be my favorites. maybe psychic too but I dont think i have any of those plates yet)

-Finishing my legendary pokedex

-Finish up some achievements I've been waiting to work on

-Somehow get the combs from the Battle Tower. Although I'm so bad at the battling and I'm really not looking forward to it, I need to finish my pokedex, darn it!

On a side note, I was trying to finish up my pokedex in Sun, but I got a little sidetracked by the battle tree. Enjoying that a lot. xD I haven't gotten

The "shiny Kalos trio legends" were region locked due to only a few places having access to that event.

Japan is very tolerant when it comes to fiction.
My country.... not so much :/
Fiction is often called "childish" or "immature" if it doesn't contain certain other themes.

Money and effort wise, it's just amazingly easy and cheap to make deals with Japanese stores and companies.

Actually I've been wanting to do an analysis about my goals for 2016 and talk about new ones for 2017 for a couple of days now but always forgot. This is want I posted in February:

Spoiler (click to showhide)


At the end of the year I didn't managed to get on top 50 (closest was 60-ish) nor I managed to get all legendaries (I was missing Volcanion since it was introduced but other than that had all legendaries since May). So, despite a half year semi-hiatus, I did almost everything that I challenged myself to. grin.gif For 2017:

- Get at least on top 50;
- Get the Undaunted achievement;
- Get 99% of all Trinkets;
- Get Arceus [Normal] (let's hope that the staff classifies him (still a Mystery Egg after all these months (at least since December 2015, when VK got all of them)) and introduces a normal way to get it);
- Get at least on top 20 of Most Battle Subway Battles Entered (#58);
- Get at least on top 20 of Most Battle Subway Battles Won (#57);
- Get at least on top 10 of Longest Battle Subway Streak (#25);

Would you like me to breed you a Wimpod? i would be able to trade it to you around 3 P.M PST, if you want. I can also give it a nickname if you would like, too.

Well, I still don't have many goals outside of Shiny Hunting on GPXPlus. I might try to get all Shiny Eeveelutions at one point and get all the possible exploration Legendary and Mythical Pokemon barring Arceus. Once the latter is said and done with, I might go do DotW for the first time and get my first Arceus.

What goals does everybody have for GPX+ for 2017, then?

-Complete the Dex Completion Achievements section
-Complete the Novelty Dex (well, at least the few I have missing currently, since I know more are coming)
-Obtain the rest of the Mega Stones

Hello, my beautiful Xerneas egg. The design is so pretty! love.gif

Best news today: Mass Effect: Andromeda's confirmed release date.

As for my goals for GPX, I don't really have any set in stone. I like to keep my rank going. I was at 980 when I came back, and as of this post I am 661.
I also want to actually stick with my shiny novelty hunts, instead of getting bored of them. OH and I want to do more shiny races. Lots more. Aside from that, just have fun and stay active?

Sure! That would be amazing. cat.gif I don't get home usually until 4 or 5 PST, but if you PM your FC or however we trade in this new game, I'm sure we can set it up. I don't have my DS with me right now.

Posted by: Esc Jan 4 2017, 04:14 PM

Welp I'm sad. Didn't get Azelf or Xerneas.

Goals for 2017 on GPX:
-Finish 3 Arceus explorations
-Finish achievements
-Beat my interactions and Activity Score Record

March 21st! Finally a new Mass Effect! Can't fucking wait. Also, Horizon Zero Dawn looks pretty cool.

That's all right! I get home at around 2:30 and usually need a few minutes to get my stuff put away, but 4-5 will be absolutely fine. My FC is in the trainer card in my signature. Feel free to PM me yours, whenever you're ready.

I'm also super excited for Horizon Zero Dawn, but MASS EFFECT. That is my favorite series of all time, and I cannot wait to continue it! All the footage and news I've seen just makes me want to play it more. I may need to call off for March 21st and 22nd, so I can devote time to them.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Jan 4 2017, 06:19 PM

I got my entry for the Poke Hunt this week, a 148IV Dragonite. I got it last night before the multiplier wore off so I'm glad I have that finished. I should get first place and get another Draco Shard, I need 3 more to get the plate.

Used my Legend Voucher Plus in a Volcanion last night. Now the only legends I need to get are Tapu Koko(I'll use my voucher for that eventually) and Arceus. I need to go back and get the combs for Furfrou, I only have one of them that I have no clue how I got it. I suck at the Battle Tower and anything to do with battling on the site. I guess it was the only time I was lucky enough to get anywhere teehee.gif.

Stayed home from work today as I was feeling too damn miserable to go. My acid reflux has been in overdrive the past few days. Even bending down to tie my shoes makes my stomach roll in protest. I fell asleep on the couch for a couple hours and went into bed for another hour. I'm still not feeling 100% but I'm feeling a heck of a lot better than earlier. I just wish the headache I currently have would go away.

A (very late, whoops) happy new year to all! Thank you so much for the Raikou! I suppose my only hope for 2017 offline is to be confident in myself more. Well, enough depressing stuff, onto GPX goals!

Goals:
-Get a Shiny version of at least 7 Pokemon by breeding
-Complete at least one Special Exploration a month (Almost done with Forgotten Memories, of to a good start)
-Get the Elite Clicker achievement.
(Wow, kinda low standards. Oh well!)

Posted by: Rita Zyon Jan 4 2017, 08:27 PM

I had some extra time today to play Pokemon Moon. Managed to beat the elite 4 and the champion in one go which is pretty rare for me so quite happy about that. My team was this: Greninja, Mudsdale, Decidueye, Toucannon, Salazzle, and Raichu. They were all around 54 when I started the challenge and finished around levels 56 and 57.

2017 goals:
-Complete my current shiny hunts and start new ones
-Complete the legendary achievement (summoning items one)
-Get a Rank 1 or 2 in the PokeHunt
-Complete either the shiny Gulpin or Klink achievement

My current entry is a 122 IV Dragonite. Nowhere good enough for Rank 1, but I don't need Draco Shards anyway. AND there's still Thursday, with a Plus bonus, to go, so I'm still looking.

I need to work on the combs as well. But at the moment, I don't have a lot of high IV high level pokemon. I did get nine new ones over 140 IVs during the Dreidel event, and two more from the Shelter after that, but I haven't leveled them up yet.

Posted by: Luneon Jan 4 2017, 10:13 PM

The only goal I have for GPX+ is finishing more shiny hunts xD
There's plenty of Pokémon from various rarities which I do not yet have in shiny.

Oh and when the rest of Gen 7 gets released, I want to fill that dex. Even if it's only the base forms.
Lately I've been working on my Gen 1-6 dex, and also on the novelty dex to try fill those up.

That's pretty much it, no special goals or anything.

Posted by: KatTheBard Jan 4 2017, 11:02 PM

I don't really focus on long-term goals on this site, just short- to mid-term ones. Which, those involve getting caught up right now mostly x)

So many people with them fancy goals and here I am just trying to complete the badge achievements while filling up my pokedex and doing monthly explorations. Oh, and getting that Shiny Winter Vulpix that I've been after pretty much since I began playing this game (~2009/2010) might be nice. Currently on 300+ eggs.

I slept on the floor two nights in a row and even though it isn't as uncomfortable as I expected it is still really annoying x_x.gif The cat woke me up last night by yelling and the night before I dreamed that I accidentally released my tapu koko into the shelter

Haven't played it yet, but I'm definitely aiming for Decidueye, Alolan Raticate don't judge me and Midday Lycanroc. I'm hoping to see if someone can breed me a male Popplio....

I want to do a theme with it. Like with White 2 I used my six favourite Pokemon (my seventh and eighth favourites were in the Unova Dex too so that's cool) and Emerald I was gonna do a ground only run until I mucked it up by catching a shiny wurmple that I had 2 use 4 bragging rights.

My party, after using some of those vouchers, was rather ridiculous. 3 legendary and 3 novelty eggs. Now I just have to wait for all of this stuff to hatch. please let them be shiny

The more I think about it, the more I want to get back into doing shiny races. I'm stupidly competitive, so I would love to go back to doing those.

Stayed home from first job today - boyfriend and I woke up and kept fighting for the bathroom. Something we ate yesterday didn't agree with us, apparently. I have to go to the second job, sadly, but it's only for four hours.

Ugh, tell me about it I haven't even got close to finishing Dragon Age Inquisition yet. It confuses the heck out of me, like I don't even understand the crafting side to it, I suppose I'll have to go youtube things so I'll understand haha. Skyrim is so much easier for crafting stuff

I think I got bored of the uhh.. Hinterlands is the second main area I think? I moved to the oceany bit tho so I guess that'll be fun. Maybe I'll play it soon.. maybe.

Okay, I finally decided what I want to vote for in the shiny hunt. Gible, because I want to hunt that shiny so bad and I vote for it every time xD (it was like 4th a few months ago. Darn!), Gligar, and phanpy. The last two will give me the earth plates I need so bad~

It snowed a ton here today and it just keeps snowing. I'm at work now, but we may close early if it keeps snowing like this. I love snow <3 but the temp is hovering just above 0 degrees F. COLD.

I decided to be lazy this week's Pokehunt. Threw in a Hyrdeigon with 102 IVs just so I could get some Prize Points. I'm expecting to get third out of it though I won't complain if it gets second.

For the SWSH, I voted the Alola Starters. Since it's the seventh gen, might as well, right?

Since I also have a Tumblr, I've been considering making a SFW RP blog. I'm not gonna have a hissy fit about inappropriate blogs following it since I already have one following my main blog. It's not that noticeable and only one such blog (a TF2 blog I've never followed) keeps showing up on my feed that has this comic in its most recent post that's probably not meant for kids.

Hydreigon has some troubles on dragon type hunts due to Dragon being his secondary type. It'll depend on the number of entrants. happy.gif

I'm so excited because I get to visit Wymsy tomorrow. grin.gif I love all my trips to see her. <3 Before I do that, though, I need to pack (ugh) and do a few other things around the house. Of course, I keep getting distracted by Youtube...

My goal for 2017 GPXPlus-wise would probably be to actually participate in Poké Hunts and collect more shards. I've been veeeeryyyyy lazy with those. At the same time, I don't blaze through DotW, so it's not like there would be a point to have a bunch of plates waiting to be used. Otherwise, I don't have much in the way of goals. Continuing my shiny dex, I suppose.


Posted by: Cycloneblaze Jan 5 2017, 06:12 PM

I'm a bit annoyed; another Dragon Poké Hunt has finally come and best I could do is 128 IVs, which ain't getting me a Shard unless everyone else did just as badly as I did. Damned eggs are so hard to hatch, I guess I'm spoilt by multipliers! I'm gonna have to do some shiny hunts.

I suppose that's my main goal for '17; complete all the hunts I have going. I've never been too pushed about collecting the Arceus, but I would like to get this Dragon one eventually. Then maybe I can start some hunts out of Sam's list grin.gif

I'd be down for that! I have a few hunts going, but I usually focus on a race pokemon until I get it. Definitely competitive, lol.

I think one of my overall goals for 2017 is to get in good enough shape that I can do a Zarya cosplay. I'm a bit short, but I have the broad shoulders and wide hips down. I just need to turn some fat into muscle, and dye my hair pink. I don't play her as much as I used to, but she is still my bae.

Thanks for the heads up!

My 2017 GPX goal is mostly to try to remember to do the pokehunts each week. I often miss out on them. I also want to try to stay motivated to do the Scavenger hunt tasks.

My 148IV Dragonite did end up snagging Rank 1 in the Poke Hunt like I thought it would. Thanks to that I got my 3rd Draco Shard, I'm one step closer to completing another plate. I need 2 Draco Shards, 2 Dread Shards, 2 Fist Shards, 3 Sky Shards and 1 Stone Shard to have every single plate. I'm banking on these shards being part of the Poke Hunt so I can get them that way. Most of the shinies I hatch lately are from Plates I already had completed so I'm not getting very far with them.

Once I complete all of the plates I really need to work on Death of the World at least once. First I need to try and get high enough in the Battle Subway. I really want to get the EXP All to make leveling the Pokemon on a certain task easier. I don't want to be stuck on the exploration for months before I can finish it. It's partly why I haven't done That Burning Desire yet, I don't want to miss out on monthly explorations.

Posted by: x Sam Jan 6 2017, 01:06 AM

Completely forgot I changed my GPX+ skin to base it off of shiny volcarona, to the point where I've found the old skins thread and the shiny axew skin I made.. needless to say I've reverted back lol.

Ugh, so much easier on my eyes too. plus shiny volc as a skin kinda looks turd coloured

I didn't enter the hunt this time. I'm waiting on Rock/Dark/Fighting/Ice/Electric/Earth/Fkying hunts now. My Shiny Lunatone from yesterday gave me my 4th Stone Shard I just realised so that's nice.

Two incomplete plates on 4 shards, three on 3 shards, one on 2 shards and one on 1 shard. Snorunt for the swishy this month would be really handy as my Icicle Plate has only 1 shard.

Posted by: North Star Jan 6 2017, 07:03 AM

I managed to enter a 161 IV 'mon, but it was a Noivern so it only got rank 3 sweat.gif

I should try to enter the weekly hunts more often, I haven't been bothering for months. I should also do DotW and use the couple plates I have.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Jan 6 2017, 07:50 AM

My 132IV Hydreigon only got 2nd place, but that's okay. I still need a few more Draco Shards anyway.

I would like to finish off my plates, but that's gonna take a while. I have 2 completely finished, and the rest are at 3 or lower. Maybe shiny racing will help me get some more quickly.

I want to get some of the high maturity hunts out of my recorder, so while the multiplier is here I will be focusing on Lunatone and Beldum. Hopefully the shine soon.

Rank 3 with my Hydreigon but it was only IV 120. I was being lazy on this one. I'm hoping to clear at least one more shiny hunt before the SWSH but I'm not getting lucky with these darn sandshrews.

Yeah, our weather yesterday was "someone summoned Kyurem again" and it just dumped snow. Good thing my work let out early, because I had a heck of a time getting home in my car. xD Then my internet was pretty much dead for the night. Luckily, I'm still playing FFXV that I got for Christmas. So I was entertained. And our ADD weather is back to sunny now, so roads are just slush and sand. Ick.

The lack of Lunatone is making my hunt a little hard, but I will keep trucking on! Tyrunt and Beldum are out in full force, though.

Also, instead of posting in here all the time about books, I decided to start https://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=74560 as a place for anyone to update their reading progress. I set a goal for how many books I want to read this year, and this is another step to keeping me on track. Feel free to post!

Getting really bored with my Winter Vulpix hunt -_-2.gif I feel like no shiny hunt should be allowed to last more than a year, that the universe should cut you some slack after a while or something. Oh well, it'll all be worth it in the end...
...Right?

On the topic of snow, I envy those of you who have it! This winter might be the lamest one yet. It's my favorite season, but it's not that great when it's just wet and cold.

Oh.... forgot all about the hunt this week. Dragon shards are one of the ones I need. My favorite type but can't really afford to hunt them all at once due to high maturity.

You can have mine. I hate snow.

I got none of the Pokemon from the distribution. It's like the old days all over again where I had absolutely no luck with these kinds of things. I know I shouldn't really complain that much because I got two new legends and a shiny one this month alone but it still stings a bit. Did the name change confuse the script or something lol?

Went to the Shop to activate a Pass Power and found out (not sure if everybody knows) that some Special Evolution Items, including DNA Splicers and Prison Bottle are available on the Prize Shop until January 8th. happy.gif



Thanks for the heads up!

My 2017 GPX goal is mostly to try to remember to do the pokehunts each week. I often miss out on them. I also want to try to stay motivated to do the Scavenger hunt tasks.

EDIT: Had to buy three artifact vouchers to get the item I needed. I really hate that it's random -___-


I couldn't miss this chance and ended up buying 1x DNA Splicers and 1x Prison Bottle... even after spending 90 PP on old vouchers. headache.gif

I've been hunting Flaming Zorua since 2011 with 400+ eggs hatched :P
Still no shiny.

While I did get a random Slime Slugma last year, which I put in the exchange.
I've hatched a lot less eggs of that I think.

I love blue stuff so it's certainly worth continuing on for me.

No luck this month for the distribution, but, that's okay since I was able to get that tapu koko voucher that not everyone was able to get. I was so happy to see oval stones in the shop today! Been searching for them since January 1, now I can get past that task for darkrai finally.

That's interesting...until I saw the price. Thanks for the tip though, it's handy to know that DNA Splicers are a thing as I didn't get one from the previous set of scratch cards (and there are certain mega Pokemon I'm not keen on).

@Running on Ice: Aw, hopefully next time! Have you gone for a name more appropriate for the season? XD

I had no luck either, and I didn't have a name change (at least not since November). I thought it was because I had an exploration 'mon that was of novelty rarity in my party alongside a very rare egg. But I tried today for the lulz (since I already had one) and had no luck. Then again, I did get the one I wanted each time since I joined (Barring the August distribution if there was one for not meeting the 2 week activity requirement).

I feel the pain of both of you.... Been on the hunt for a Shiny Winter Vulpix for a long time too ;_; Still no luck. At this rate, I might get the Shiny Alolan Vulpix long before I will ever hatch the Shiny Winter Vulpix.

You most likely will.

Winter Vulpixes are much more "rare" than I believe Alolan Vulpixes will be.

Idk what's going to happen with Winter Vulpix once Alolan Vulpix kicks in.
It might be retired because it's essentially the same idea.
