My Favorites



It's December! The rather bitter 2016 is finally ending, but not before we get to enjoy some of the best holidays the year has to offer.

Being an adult without children, I've found Christmas hasn't really meant all that much to me anymore. The best part of the holiday now is simply the nostalgia... remembering what it was like each of my childhood years, the family I rarely ever see now, and the traditions I partook of.

The last twelve months, as the Bounsweet in this season of South Park have shown us, have been filled with different types of nostalgia, and bookended with Star Wars releases. With that in mind, I propose we go out with a nostalgic bang.

Sun and Moon recently had an incredibly successful launch, and we're working hard to get all of the new Pokémon added to GPX, but let's not forget how most of us felt when we played those first games while watching the first season of the show. I'd like to hold tribute to the original 151 Pokémon (...or at least the ones that are easily obtainable).

The Hanukkah event
  • Begins: Thursday, December 22nd at 11:55pm EST (site reset), which is two nights before Hanukkah begins.
  • Ends: Sunday, January 1st at 11:55pm EST (site reset), which is the night Hanukkah ends.
This month, we'll be bringing back our Hanukkah event, with a twist. Normally you'd receive 1 coin for every Fire-type you hatch, but this year you'll receive 1 coin for every Generation 1 Pokémon egg you hatch. If the egg you hatch happens to hatch with a Gen 1 sprite ("Red/Blue", "Japanese Red/Green", and "Yellow"), you'll earn 5 coins. You'll also earn 20 coins for completing a daily Scavenger Hunt task. These coins are completely separate from all other currencies on the site.

Additional information on the Hanukkah event (click to show)


Scavenger Hunt
This month's Scavenger Hunt will start mid-month as always, running the entire second half of the month, but you'll only earn 20 coins for completing a task once the Hanukkah event starts (so the 23rd to the 31st).

Explorations
The two Christmas explorations, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "Secret of Christmas", have been activated and will run through the end of the month.

Secret Santa Exchange
We're finally doing this again! Feeling nostalgic? I know, I know, we did it last year... but that was the New Year's Exchange, totally different. This will happen over Christmas weekend, and I will post additional information around that time, but it'll work about the same as last year's New Year's Exchange... hopefully without any of the same issues.

New Year's Raffle
It's been so long since we've done one of these! The way this worked on New Year's 2012 was you'd have a day to be as active as possible, and for every 2012 points of Activity Score earned, you'd get one entry. We then handed out a certain number of legendary eggs, and you'd have a chance to get one based on the number of entries you earned. I'll post more information about this later, but since Hanukkah ends on New Year's Day, it may be based on your Coins instead of a single day's activity. Stay tuned!

I'm feeling festive so I may try to have some other surprises for you all this month! We hope you all have a safe and wonderful holiday season, no matter which holidays you celebrate, and I'm sorry if yours has never been represented by GPX -- you still matter to us!
