The September Community thread has been moved http://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=74283

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 http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=5491 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 http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=49472 for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like.
  
  
  Hopefully helpful examples! (click to showhide)
  
  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!

Posted by: Jen Sep 30 2016, 08:29 PM

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. 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

• October 2nd: Celebi - Winner: Snowsky - 350 eggs
• October 3rd: Reshiram - Winner: Gym Leader Clay - 350 eggs
• October 4th: A spooky scary Pokémon that appears in ancient cemetaries ~ Giratina ~ 350 eggs
• October 5th: Was that a ghost, or a very powerful illusion you just saw? ~ Misquaza ~ 350 eggs
• October 6th: Diancie - 700 eggs

Oct 3rd Edit:

I'm back from a bit of a hiatus. I managed to get my SWSH poke in a day though, so that's pretty nice. Congrats to everyone who finished. Good luck next time Azurite.

Posted by: Cao Sep 30 2016, 11:01 PM

Failed to hatch a shiny. Oh well! I'll keep going. Cx

Really curious about the October 6th egg...

Posted by: eludicatorflame Sep 30 2016, 11:09 PM

How come my luck is so great with pokemon I just am neutral about, but when it comes to my faves, I can never find a shiny quickly? laughs - i think it's pretty funny. That aside, I'm gonna do my best to get Celebi this month bc it's one of my fave Johto-gen legends nods

Posted by: Munchlax Sep 30 2016, 11:10 PM

Pinch, punch! First of the month! No returns! Ah,.. I doubt anyone heard of that one before.

I'm tempted to guess the 4th is Zombidofo since its description mentions rising from the grave, but the hint of 'ancient' makes me think my guess is way off.

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Sep 30 2016, 11:10 PM

October and November are my favorite months of the year. Glad to see how this one is starting.

Got my shiny a while back, but right now back to working on the dex. Almost done with Unova!

Posted by: Esmee1993 Sep 30 2016, 11:17 PM

Failed to get a shiny. Hopefully the prize will be in the prize shop though... now for completing that burning disere and the kanto dex!

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Sep 30 2016, 11:24 PM

Got my shiny for the SWSH so I'm happy about that. 418 Prize Points .

October already, man time is flying fast, soon it'll be Halloween.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Sep 30 2016, 11:28 PM

The new egg voucher surprised me. The name implied that it's likely going to be a Rock-type Novelty. Probably a Budew Novelty? Can't be Anorith, and the concept of gemstones makes no sense for Hawlucha, so it has to be Budew. What are they doing with this little guy for its novelty version?

Posted by: Targaryen Sep 30 2016, 11:29 PM

Happy to get my Budew for swsh. Is anyone doing special stuff for Halloween? I dont live in an area conducive to giving out candy

Posted by: RicFule Sep 30 2016, 11:30 PM

The fourth is Girtatina. No clue what the fifth is supposed to be, since the only thing I can think of that fits is the Master of Illusion Mismagius and that one doesn't hatch from a Novelty egg.

And the SWSH prize is ... interesting. Hopefully, we won't have to wait TOO long before it's implemented.

Posted by: Zyxyz Sep 30 2016, 11:32 PM

Well, I failed to start all three SWSH hunts during the month for the first time in a while... no shiny Roserade for me for a while, I guess, since there's no reason to do it anyway for the time being when it wouldn't give me a shard. At least I still have the SWSH prize to look forward to—from the name and description, I'm guessing we're finally getting Diancite, but a new novelty would be fine too.

I am a bit disappointed to learn that A Halloween Haunting isn't available until the end of the month, rather than the entire month like I had assumed (based off the Christmas explorations working that way), but I might still be able to fit in both special explorations and another DotW before it starts. I guess I'll just have to put off TBD until November...

Speaking of hauntings, I just found a shiny Duskull in the Safari! I already had one, but more shinies is never a bad thing, and now I can leave this one unevolved to show off Duskull's adorable Plat/HGSS sprite (see below) while still having a sh. Dusknoir for the pokedex entries.

It could also be Misquaza, but idk if it's possible for corrupted eggs to be in the monthly distribution...

Happy October!

Posted by: Reservoir Sep 30 2016, 11:38 PM

General Pokémon:
October... Just a little more than a month and a half until Sun/Moon. I really wish it was sooner. );
I'm not sure what I'm hoping for in the October 4th news... At this point, I imagine it would be then or CoroCoro that we learn of a demo, if we're getting one. I'm kinddd of hoping that we don't, only because I'd like the entire experience to be completely new and fresh when the game launches. A demo would be pretty hype, I admit, but I'd prefer if demos would be reserved for remakes. I think it's really good for those to get people interested and get a feel for how the updated experience with the game/region/story would be, since some players tend to have a feel of "been there, done that."
By undeniable leaks or otherwise, I think the one thing I'd really like to know before I get started in the game, is what the starters will be like for their later (most especially, their final) evos. This would really help me out, since I'm kind of picky about my starter. I'd really hate to take a nature, a gender, and give a name that I end up thinking don't fit at all once I fully evolve it. :<



GPX+:
I'm upset. I put in a lot of work these past few days, but I did not manage to hatch a shiny. My Prize Points have gone down so much due to repeatedly needing to buy the SWSH prizes...
I'm rather curious as to what the prize(s) will be this time around.

As for the event eggs, I have to take a look around the dex to see if I can figure out any of the mystery ones. I'm mostly interested in filling out my dex, so anything novelty, special, or really rare is what I'll be trying for. Hopefully there's something that I need in one of the releases. Of course, I have to hope I receive the egg, too. :P



Shuffle:
This Beedrill competition is so luck-based. D; I'm trying to score as high as I can to get as many rewards as possible, but... My team can't really get much better without using up more resources than it's worth for just this one thing. I'm glad that a Poison-type mega is finally being released, at least. Now to hope it's not too long until we finally get a Flying-type mega. Just about all of the remaining options (without adding more options in the form of shinies and alternate versions like Winking) will be much appreciated, as long as the Mega Effects are nice. Some types really need it. Ground only has one option, Steel-type needs a strong mega that's not so situational, I'm hoping for a Fighting-type that's good at handling disruptions and can cause combos...

I don't expect much in the upcoming update, but perhaps there'll be a few nice 'mons to capture. If nothing else, there's a few form(e)s of some 'mons that I've been impatient to see added in. Most of anything, I want to see Meloetta finally added in (PLEASE BE GOOD.) Besides Volcanion, that's the only legend (not counting new Gen/Gen VII) to still not be in the game. ):
Oh,... and not so many repeats of frequently re-released 'mons, pleaseeee. T_T

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Sep 30 2016, 11:38 PM

I was able to get my shiny Anorith after the first couple of days, so I got that out of the way rather quickly.

Not sure what I'm going to be doing for Halloween. We haven't given out any candy for the past couple of years so this one might be the same.

Hard to believe it's already October, now that I mention it. I'm doing Victini right now and I might do the Musketeer one next.

Posted by: Kamizard Sep 30 2016, 11:42 PM

For the first time since I returned from a six-month hiatus in December 2013, I've failed a SWSH. I've completed every single one since January 2014. 460 eggs and no shiny Budew. Doesn't help that I work on "normal people weekends", so I don't get to take full advantage of multipliers. Hopefully the prize will be in the shop. At least I've hoarded my prize points from every other SWSH and scavenger hunt I've completed.

But yay, it's October! One of my favorite months of the year. I work in retail, so it's also the last month of relative peace before everything starts to go crazy, haha.

Posted by: Mamanator Sep 30 2016, 11:47 PM

Right there with ya on that score, Esmee1993. Definitely wasn't for lack of trying though. 428 failed attempts to unearth a shiny bug. Gah. I knew going for the harder one first was a bad move. Hopefully I learned myself a lesson. *sad sigh*

Can't wait to find out what the prize was. I somehow managed to get some prize points, too, so I can use those towards a hopeful purchase of the prize. Not sure how I managed those points, but I'll snuggle 'em while I got 'em. LOL

Kamizard, I feel ya. I think this is the first SWSH I failed at since my return as well. While I haven't always gotten all 3 of the Pokemon, I have usually come out with one or two. This was a very hard, disappointing SWSH. It's gonna sting for a while. *considers moping* .. .. .. *decides against it* As you said, at least we hoarded our prize points (and I even got some more... ? ...) and, with any luck, the prize will be made available for purchase. Here's hoping!

Posted by: Sportsfan666 Sep 30 2016, 11:50 PM

I took a bit of a break, but I remember the old community threads getting way more people the night they were posted. It seems inconceivable that this hasn't passed page one. Has something big happened that I'm unaware of?

I'm kind of unsure what to do now that I'm back. I have all of the Mega Stones, UG Flags, Arceus plates. I have a few leftover shine hunts on going that were originally started for shards, but they aren't needed anymore. At some point I need to finish the Unown exploration one more time. Once I get an Unown V, I'll simultaneously complete three different dex achievements. Anyone else here have goals that go beyond mass hoarding items? :P

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Sep 30 2016, 11:52 PM

And if anyone needs the new novelty, I can breed some with Novelty Power for a few days. I mean, the Daycare won't be of any need for me, since I'm going to cancel the Anorith hunt in a bit and Eevee eggs aren't that hard to find.

Anyways, I'm going to keep my party full around 4 p.m. server time until October 5th or 6th. I don't know, should I go for 5th or take a gamble with the 6th?

Posted by: Kamizard Oct 1 2016, 12:00 AM

I got my moping out of the way in the car yesterday, haha. Of course on the last day of the first SWSH I was having trouble finishing in nearly three years, we had to get something done in Dallas. I did as much as I could in the car on the mobile app, but it's really frustrating that you can't use Sweet Honey on it, and I spent a lot of time refreshing the shelter trying to find eggs in my spare time. I knew eventually there would be a SWSH I couldn't finish, but I thought it'd be in May when I actually do spend most of my days on the road. I guess I don't have to worry about breaking the streak now. At least I have 1,813 prize points to spend!

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 1 2016, 12:00 AM

I've noticed a lot of sites I've been on there has been a slowdown of people. I'm guessing kids being back to school would be partly to blame for lack of activity on those sites.

Well I'm not sure what Pokemon I want from the Raffle. I'll probably go after either Reshiram or the cemetery one. I'm not overly bothered what I get because everything on the list looks good(barring whatever the last one is supposed to be ).

Posted by: Indigo chan Oct 1 2016, 12:02 AM

Haaaappy Octoooober. I enjoy egg distributions, even if I can never decipher the hints. And happy birthday PokeNOM NOM NOM (saying it here since I'm too lazy to move to the other thread woo)

I finished my SWSH hunt at the last minute so I'm so happy that I'm eligible for the prizes. :'D And I am looking forward to getting some spooky Pokechests this month.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 1 2016, 12:04 AM

Hm.... any guesses on the mysteries?
I think I might try for them, or the 6th when the winner is revealed

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Oct 1 2016, 12:07 AM

The fact that I got a shiny hawlucha in like a day and is one of the raffle winners despite not doing ANYTHING has filled me with determination!! Hopefully I'll be more active this month but who knows?!? Excited for that new novelty, but haven't figured out which explorations to tackle. I gots all the Pokemon they are for idk which raffle event pokemon to go for either. Besides the one I automatically get (white floof dragon!!!) I got em all.... Well, except possibly the last SUPER MYSTERIOUS one.... And maybe the riddle ones if my guesses are totally off base lol but I don't think so? Anyway, I hate waiting for the last day because knowing my luck I wouldn't get anything on the last day or zone out and forget to leave a spot in my party open.... Hmm

(edit: I made some grammar mistakes (and probably left a whole bunch, anyway.) Someone take my butt to bed I'm tired)

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Oct 1 2016, 12:12 AM

It was mentioned on the first page that the one for the 4th is more than likely Giratina. I think the 5th one is Misquaza because of its Pokedex, but I'm not sure. Have we had already corrupted novelties distributed this way?

Posted by: Mettaton NEO Oct 1 2016, 12:26 AM

Can't wait to see how this month goes

Posted by: Hitaka5Ever Oct 1 2016, 01:04 AM

Um, every time I come to the forums, gpx logs me out of my account. Should I post a bug report or...?

Posted by: RicFule Oct 1 2016, 01:16 AM

Don't recall, but I do know we had the wrong form of Giratina released once, so there COULD be a precedent. I guess we'll find out shortly.

Posted by: Sportsfan666 Oct 1 2016, 01:16 AM

Do you have adblock that isn't disabled on the forums? I had mine disabled for the site, but not the forums. I stopped having your issue when I whitelisted the forums, so that might help. No promises though.

Posted by: irisidium Oct 1 2016, 03:17 AM

I'm with you, Esmee1993 , Kamizard & Mamanator. Quite sad I didn't manage to complete this one - of course it's the timed hunt that ends up being my longest so far. I managed to hatch 700 for Budew but it just wasn't meant to be, apparently.

Hopefully I'll be able to catch one of your babies though, CrazyUmbreonLady! That way I won't have to mope either haha.

Very excited to see the catdog trio exploration as Entei is my favourite pokémon. I think I'll just leave a slot open and see what I get (if anything, of course) this month, since I love Celebi and Reshiram is pretty cool!
What category does A Halloween Haunting fit under, by the way (and what does it reward)? I'd like to know whether or not to leave open a special exploration, or if I can go ahead and use both.

Posted by: Zyxyz Oct 1 2016, 03:50 AM

According to the wiki, it's a regular exploration and rewards 4 Heart Sweets.

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 1 2016, 04:23 AM

Just wanted to say hi to Everyone just joined a few days ago and I'm enjoying it here. Looking forward to the next few months as well as October!

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 1 2016, 04:39 AM

How is it October already? It's not allowed. Like... what?

Time to start the month off right! Hopefully this multiplier leads to some shinies today.

ALSO
Happy birthday, PokeNOMNOMNOM!

Posted by: Ninja Squirrel Twins Oct 1 2016, 04:57 AM

October the 1st already ?

in other news I just pre ordered Pokemon Sun

Posted by: Korilakkumi Oct 1 2016, 05:52 AM

Happy October! I actually just got back after a 3 year hiatus and already on the shiny hunt once again o:

Posted by: Luneon Oct 1 2016, 06:07 AM

Didn't manage to get a shiny either, sadly
I currently have over 200 prize pts due to my zergoose hunt being finished so I can't complain
If I like it, might buy it. Who knows :P



-----------------------------------
Happy October everyone, glad to see this month has a LOT of my fav Pokemon
May seems like yesterday.

I think the cemeteries one is Giratina or Zombidofo.
As for the Illusion one... maybe that Mismagius ? Could also refer to Missingno but who..... knows xD

Idk which I'm choosing just yet. Maybe Celebi??? Or just wait for the final one. I wonder what the person will choose.

Posted by: Faust Oct 1 2016, 06:08 AM

I haven't posted much on the forums before (blame a 5 year hiatus), so here goes!
I think I'll be trying for Reshiram, my Zekrom looks a little lonely...

Congrats to Wulfenite again! I got Hawlucha, but Budew just absolutely floored me D:
The prize item is very interesting though...

Posted by: DemonicPlatypus2 Oct 1 2016, 07:18 AM

Amazing how the only swsh I've ever lost so far was for the pokemon I hatched over 1000 eggs for, as well as voted for 6 or 7 times in a row. Probably karma for hatching 7 shinies last hunt in less than 1000 eggs...

I'll probably try and go for Reshiram because I want to do that exploration less than 4 times.

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 1 2016, 07:33 AM

I don't think you need 4. If the reason you want that many, is to have Reshiram, Zekrom, and both Black and White Kyurem, then you only need to do it twice.
On GPX they only need to be in your party when you evolve Kyurem, and they shouldn't fuse into one. At least according to wiki, I don't have any of them yet, so I can't be sure, but a lot of these special evolution conditions work differently on GPX.

Posted by: DemonicPlatypus2 Oct 1 2016, 07:53 AM

Huh, didn't know that. Thanks for the info! I'll still probably go for it since I don't like risking it on the "riddle" ones and it's one of my favourite legendaries.

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Oct 1 2016, 07:58 AM

Birthdayyyy yay!
Thanks for those birthday wishes here and in the Month of October thread, guys!
Hope everyone enjoys the multiplier.

Spending time with my family today.
I got some great things for in my new house!

I managed to get 2/3 SWSH shinies.
I'll still be hunting for that Sh. Anorith!

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 1 2016, 08:59 AM

Eh? How did I skip over that part, when I read the month of October post?

Happy Birthday! And good luck with your hunt for the Shiny Anorith.

Posted by: Cycloneblaze Oct 1 2016, 09:29 AM

Happy Birthday, NOM.

I didn't get my shiny this time, surprising no-one ever. I haven't got it in I think two months now? Hm it would be nice to have nice Pokémon in the November hunt :^) Anyway I can still buy the novelty, I guess.
I kinda hope whoever won the raffle for the 6th doesn't collect... I'd kinda like to win As it is, I might go for the 5th because I don't know what it is.

Faust, I see you are also Irish! How ya keepin'?

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Oct 1 2016, 09:59 AM

Now I remember! I think they distributed Shadow Lugia once and maybe also Fake Groudon, not sure about that one, so yeah, it is possible that it will be Misquaza. Now to decide which one I want . Maybe Celebi because I probably won't do that one, as I mentioned earlier.

And happy birthday NOM!

Posted by: RicFule Oct 1 2016, 10:02 AM

Yeah. Is it November yet? I need to pick up my reserved games. On the plus side, I only owe like $15 total on Sun, Moon, AND the guide. And then the tax, of course. Paying in increments, for the win.

EDIT - And don't forget that since it's now October, Keldeo is, in North America at least, available for download in your handheld games. Not certain about other countries.

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Oct 1 2016, 10:16 AM

Happy birthday nom!!!!! 🙌

So pleased to see a lot of lovelies interested in Reshiram. Half the fun in this is seeing who else reaps ur rewards e.e

A bit sad that I won't be able to get sun or moon cuz I don't have a 3ds, but I AM getting one.... But it's an old one so there's likely a lot of good games I'm missing out on. Oh well!! Life goes on and I'm poor, nothing u can do about that.

Still unclear about which exploration to embark on, if any or what raffle poke to go for besides reshi ho hum. I don't have misquaza but is that a Risk to Take?

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 1 2016, 12:22 PM

Happy birthday PokeNOM NOM NOM! And also, woo I won the raffle!!!

I, for one, cannot wait to see what the SWSH prize is. My money's on an Anorith novelty.

I'll try to finish DotW before the end of the month, but I doubt I'll have enough time to finish it, 2 Sp. Explorations, and A Halloween Haunting before the end of the month. But I'll try!

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 1 2016, 12:38 PM

I'm glad for my habit of using Repels randomly in the lab. I'm trying to get a Porygon egg from the lab, so I just look for it randomly with a Repel. (I only have dex info about Porygon, and not it's egg)
Today I found a Heatran egg with it, that someone summoned. Seems like I was very lucky with my timing.

P.S.: How common is the Prankster event? It's not the first time I have it more than once in a single day...

Posted by: KatTheBard Oct 1 2016, 01:17 PM

I'm wondering if one of the mystery distributions is Darkrai?

Posted most of my other thoughts in the Month of October thread, but happy birthday again Nom!

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 1 2016, 01:27 PM

I'm super excited to see what the prize will be! I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

I'm still hunting for Budew, but at least I got the other two shinies during the hunt.

For all of us that had really bad ends to September, let's hope that October is a lot kinder! I know I am looking forward to fall weather, hot chocolate, and all sorts of rainy days. Plus, I am going to be doing some novel planning for if I decide that I hate myself enough to attempt NaNoWriMo again.

Well I finished one of the special explorations this month. I have a lovely Raikou egg waiting in my party, now if only it would hatch shiny(it won't). I'm not sure what other exploration I'll be doing, taking a break because I finished 3 explorations in one day .

I downloaded one of the Keldeo in my games, I just have to get a few more. I'm glad that this month is a wifi event, I'd be upset if I missed Keldeo.

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L Oct 1 2016, 02:12 PM

Hey.
It's already spooky month, is it?
I've barely posted at all since September and school, and I'm sorry about that.

I've been getting back into ORAS and still playing Overwatch as usual. Mercy best girl. Getting my Keldeo as I type this. The one event I've been waiting a year for.
School has been good. We've got a new experimental block schedule which I kinda like but also dislike. I dislike the constant change in classes every day, but it does give us all one single unit lunch.
What's up with you guys?

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 1 2016, 03:54 PM

Happy B-Day! It is an interesting month to be on birthday, by the way. Lots of spooky stuff. Mine is coming next month and I have to work XD Hope you are free.

As for the SWSH I got none XD Last time I get overeager and get eggs before reset. I'm not really interested in the explorations this month. I guess I'll focus on other stuff. Hpe I'm able to get the novelty from the shelter...might buy a voucher if it is available.

Posted by: Luneon Oct 1 2016, 04:21 PM

eh I spent most of the day on the toilet again ._.
I was going to attend a Pokemon GO related event tomorrow but I guess I'll be skipping out on that.
Not a good idea to go somewhere in such a condition ^^;

Other than that I decided to start watching Love Live Sunshine
So far I find it pretty enjoyable

Posted by: Gigadweeb Oct 1 2016, 05:27 PM

Ayy, me too. School and this PC has really made me forget about GPX+, sorry lads.

It's school holidays for me, so I've been able to enjoy sleeping in. Not to mention I got an early start too; power went out for SA on Thursday, so I didn't bother going to school.

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 1 2016, 05:39 PM

Happy bday! I just started my first shiny hunt going for an Eevee.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 1 2016, 08:14 PM

So, I am sitting here with my boyfriend and his sister (Capn McMuffin and AbstractWalrus on here), and both of them got shinies within the last hour. I WANT ONE. Please.

I am also super super tired right now. I need sleep.

I'm going after Coballion now. Not sure which is going to be next, but we shall see.

Posted by: NewWorldNick Oct 1 2016, 09:53 PM

Finally completed a SWSH, got lucky and finished it in a day on egg 21. Looking forward to October and all the gainz to be made. Good luck to all

Posted by: InsaneMoments Oct 1 2016, 11:08 PM

Oooo I almost have to try for the 4th. I love a good spooky mystery!

No shiny for me sadly with this last hunt. I didnt have much free time this go around!

Posted by: Toonwriter Oct 2 2016, 12:30 AM

A Jewel Goody Bag? I wonder what it's for? I can't seem to find a way to activate it.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 2 2016, 01:27 AM

That's because, as the opening post in the October thread says, "Prizes will take a few days before being usable." But, unless it just hasn't been added yet, it seems like it is NOT a new Novelty, as I have my Non-Canon Dex complete. I can't recall WHO mentioned it, but someone was pondering the fact that it could me the Diancite. Idaknow.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 2 2016, 08:22 AM

Hmm... I somehow ran myself out of Heart Sweets, and now there are two Dark Ekans eggs in my daycare... Why this.

Also, I want to give a big shoutout to user Emmagurd who got married and turned 27 within the last two days!

Posted by: Shaoo Oct 2 2016, 10:04 AM

Hello everyone and hello october!
Happy birthday to Pokenomnom with a day late!

one month until pokemon sun and moon yay!

This bag... I have an idea, of a pretty jewel for a pretty diamond pokemon... I hope I'm right!! =D

Posted by: Ariento Oct 2 2016, 10:12 AM

OH MY ARCEUS!

I used my enigma stone, popped a repel, and saw the Palkia I summoned. But I also saw a Lugia someone missed. So I used a second repel so I could get both!

I just cannot believe that luck.

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 2 2016, 10:29 AM

Halloween isn't really celebrated here...it pretty much only exists on the internet for me haha.


Happy (belated) birthday!


I started watching it when it first started coming out, but I fell behind ^^" Think I still have 4 maybe 5 episodes left, likewise for Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love Love which I started watching at the same time. Need to finish those off before Bungou Stray Dogs (s2) and Yuri on Ice start this week


I actually thought it was a joke when I first heard that all of SA was without power hard to believe that could happen to en entire state :P
It was pretty stormy here over the weekend, and my town had a power outage for about 7 hours Saturday arvo/evening. It was so weird driving through town and everything being pitch black.

Also no shiny for me this SWSH...first time in a while I haven't completed a SWSH. Though I was a bit on the busy side, so I didn't have as much time to click as I would have liked. Oh well. I'll be looking out for the prize in the prize shop if it becomes available there ^^

Posted by: Tulaash Oct 2 2016, 11:37 AM

Well, I'm kind of sad I didn't get a shiny this last SWSH :/ In other news, I've decided to try my hand at sewing an Eevee plush for a friend for his birthday (it's in December). I've never really done any sewing before, so this'll be interesting. I do, however, have someone who can help! I also am working on breeding him 2 perfect IV Eevee, and I just can't seem to get a Jolly one >:c

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 2 2016, 02:47 PM

HOLY CRAP. I never even considered that possibility, I just assumed it would be a new novelty. Or since the description of the item mentions blue sparkles on the bag, maybe it has something to do with Carbink (which is partially blue). Maybe the prize is a Carbink halfway transformed into Diancie?

Also, congratulations to Emmagurd! Many happy returns!

Quick PSA: remember to keep a slot open in your party today, because Celebi's coming!

Posted by: Ariento Oct 2 2016, 02:56 PM

I'm not going to be able to get one of the Celebis. My party is full - partially because I started on the exploration for Celebi and didn't realize it was going to be given away. I'm almost done with it, any way - I doubt that it's gonna get much harder than getting a level 100 Honchcrow.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Oct 2 2016, 03:17 PM

I was able to get one, so yay!

I'm also thinking that the prize has to do with Diancie. If not the Diancite, then maybe something else pertaining to it. Speaking of which, I wonder if they'll have those Carbink variations like in the movie Diancie's featured in, as they had different white fluff patterns around them.

Posted by: Rosalind Lutece Oct 2 2016, 03:33 PM

I actually completely forgot about the distribution so I was oddly confused about why GPX wouldn't let me click things and getting even more confused because I keep exiting out of the notification about it before I could read it. Top marks all around for me today.

I accidently had my party filled so no Celebi for me this time. I'm okay with that since Reshiram is one of the Legends that I'm lowkey sparkle hunting for and the mystery flavors always looks lovely to me.

Posted by: Luneon Oct 2 2016, 03:54 PM

I have a whole list of stuff I'm watching this season so I'll just shove it in between rides from place to place :P

There's a lot more on my list (like 8-10 weekly episode titles or so, that's excluding movies and 1-episode things)
-----------------------------------------

Missed out on today's distribution but that's fine
If I don't get a shiny Budew in the next few days I'll just start the Celebi exploration and do that for a bit

Posted by: eludicatorflame Oct 2 2016, 04:02 PM

Decides to go on the exploration for Celebi: gets a Celebi egg from an Event today. pfft okay then my luck is strange. I can name them both after Earthbound characters I like tho so I ain't complaining

Posted by: BlueFireBlood Oct 2 2016, 04:45 PM

I got Celebi YES!!! I might still try the exploration to try to possibly get a shiny, however I'll do the beast trio first and then do it if I have some time left.

Posted by: TheBloodWitch Oct 2 2016, 05:26 PM

Was not expecting a celeb I today! Thanks!

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 2 2016, 08:26 PM

Totally missed the Celebi today and gave up on the Eevee shiny hunt, gonna do one once I get more pokemon. Females are rather hard to find honestly :-)

Posted by: SawkItToMe Oct 2 2016, 09:03 PM

Skipped the celebi today as I already have one. Really wanting this Reshiram tho!

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 3 2016, 12:21 AM

I probably won't get around to doing any of the special explorations this month as I'm doing the Arceus one at the moment...haven't had much mass clicking time lately so it's taking a while this time 'round :P For the distribution I'm going for the mystery on the 5th, unless the TBA on the 6th ends up being something super cool.

I've been watching the League of Legends worlds this last week. I've watched the tournament the last couple of years, but only started playing LoL myself a couple of days ago xD I'm really enjoying playing it might be a bit addicted. My boyfriend has been playing it for years so it's nice to have him 'coach' me haha. We also have a couple of workmates who play it, so it makes it more fun when we can all LoL together :P

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Oct 3 2016, 01:27 AM

I'll try and do the other special exploration later in the week. I'm trying not to do like last time and waiting until around the last minute to do that second one.

And happy birthday Sam!

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Oct 3 2016, 08:15 AM

Booooo you should have gone for reshiram!! < naw, naw, congrats to u, buddy. and congrats to everyone else too!!! I'm thinking about going for Celebi after Victini for the event so I decided to pass.

Also I was feeling so awful all day yesterday because I didn't sleep well??? I felt really embarrassed over a miscommunication that happened yesterday morning and even though its long since cleared up, I still feel embarrassed. There's just some people that seem to exhude that intimidating aura even when they say "don't worry its cool" yeah? but I'm good and ready for some productivity today!!

Posted by: RicFule Oct 3 2016, 10:07 AM

I did it backwards. Got the distribution egg, and THEN went on the exploration.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 3 2016, 10:20 AM

I think I got them figured out, although it would be interesing to see what the last one is before deciding on when to leave a slot open in my bag. So wait and see I guess. Otherwise I'd go for tomorrow's egg distribution and see if I'm lucky. I'm not really hunting for any of the special explorations at the moment so I'll probably pass on them this month. I'll focus on the regulars though :P

My weekend went well, went to a family party on saturday and then to a karaoke bar with some friends, I'm not much of a singer so I just cheered for them. We got to play some eight-ball pool, which I hadn't done in a while. Sunday was good as well, one of the local d&d groups had an event with short terror and thriller campaigns on d&D, darksouls, star wars. It went great, got some dices and a t-shirt plus I got to see some friends I haven't seen in a while.

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 3 2016, 11:31 AM

Good morning Everybody. I was kind of off and on GPX over the weekend as my church was having a huge conference so I was mostly involved in that. In between changing eggs and searching for something in the Lab, I obtained the Celebi egg from the event. Definitely not upset about it and thank Snowsky for that choice. And what was that I read? There's a Celebi explore this month, too? Well then. Why not double my chances? LOL Although, if I can't get a simple shiny bug, I'm sure a shiny legendary is four times as difficult. Hee hee hee So yeah, I think I'll do that explore and get it started right away.

I've been keeping my eye on the Prize Shop and haven't seen anything for sale in relation to the SWSH prize. Did I miss it? Has it not come out yet? Or are we out of luck for buying one for ourselves? I'm so hoping it won't be the last one. Here's hoping there is some hope for us who failed at the hunt. Ugh and Oye.

Today is already shaping up into a typical Monday. Felt faint in the shower, left the paper plates at home I bought for the office, got to the office only to realize I was spacing on an 8 am blood draw, left the office with enough time to go home, collect the plates, and grab a bottle of water to hydrate myself for the blood draw, found out my draw was actually 15 minutes earlier than I thought and was only 4 minutes late to it, got gas and more water, and now I'm at the office feeling grateful to be sitting down. After all that, I'm feeling semi-quasi positive that the day can only get better. Once again... here's hoping! :LOL

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 3 2016, 11:44 AM

Got the Hoopa portal here the day I finally got to obtain Hoopa in the games. lol, what are the odds?


And I got Celebi yesterday too.... forgot all about the event while keeping a slot opened to look for task mons in the safari. :P

Posted by: Ariento Oct 3 2016, 12:10 PM

Anyone know what browser the Mobile Walker works in? I'm using Chrome, but it doesn't work (iirc it's because it's not https).

Doesn't help that, on top of the two 30k eggs, I have the Celebi from the exploration that needs a massive amount of Cheri Berries. If any of you want to give it one, that would be amazing.

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 3 2016, 12:57 PM

I've had luck with it in Palemoon, but in contrast, some layouts are broken. Perhaps regular Firefox would work without that issue?

Posted by: Breech Loader Oct 3 2016, 01:13 PM

I really need Hoopa to drop. Mostly because there are TWO evolutions of Hoopa I don't have, while I do have a Prison Bottle.

And I still wish we could trade Rarity 5+ trinkets.

But hurrah! Tour of Illusions! I needed that. And The Quiet Forest will come in handy too because my Celebi has low IVs.

Hopefully at some point this month I'll finally hatch my shiny Dracowymsy.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 3 2016, 01:21 PM

Whatcha talkin bout Willis? I only know of ONE Hoopa "evolution". Now, if you meant that you needed 2 Dex entries since you don't yet HAVE a Hoopa, that's a different story.

Posted by: Jen Oct 3 2016, 02:23 PM

I'm giving the third winner of the raffle one more day to reply. If they don't then we already have a pokemon in mind to fill it with, but it won't have the usual restrictions due to not being able to plan accordingly for it. Either way, everyone will have a chance to get the pokemon on the sixth whether or not you've already gotten one from this month's event, and I'll be sending out more than usual because of it. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 3 2016, 02:41 PM

I had a feeling that might be the reason it's a mystery, but I couldn't be sure. It's such a waste.

Posted by: Jalakins Oct 3 2016, 02:51 PM

I love this time of year! Halloween and scary stuff is so fun. <3 And this month's explorations are all awesome too. What do I choose? o.o

I'm eager to find out what the SWSH prize will be. This will be my second one completing in time. Yes, I know. Craziness. xD

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 3 2016, 03:06 PM

Aw yeah, I got a Reshiram egg . I was debating on waiting for the one on the 5th but Reshiram is a great Pokemon(now lets hope I got a shiny one!).

This flu has been sticking around and it is so hard to get rid of it. I've been pretty much coughing up a lung for the past 3 weeks, its starting to get annoying. I was hoping that I'd be rid of it by now but it seems like it wants to hang on.

Today was a bit annoying at work, we already got our Christmas freight. Jeeze, its not even Halloween yet, couldn't they have waited?

Posted by: eludicatorflame Oct 3 2016, 03:18 PM

Well, I like to leave an open spot in my party when I do explorations so I don't put too many pokemon in there and have the site say I can't continue on a task, so given I do that, I probably would have gotten the other Celebi anyway lol. Congrats to everyone who got Reshiram though, nods! Also I hope you feel better today.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Oct 3 2016, 05:00 PM

I thought I filled my party with eggs, but apparently not, as I got a Reshiram egg. Oh well. Maybe I'll get that rare chance of a Shiny Reshiram.

Probably not.

I also made a Tumblr account over the weekend. That's where I plan to do my creative stuffs like writing and drawing. I doubt I'll get many followers, though.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 3 2016, 05:24 PM

Oh don't know if anyone mentioned it but if you are in North America, there's a second chance event for Hoopa.

The code is 2016Hoopa. I already have it downloaded on one of the games I never got the chance to get Hoopa in, so that's awesome.

~

Wonder what the Poke Hunt is going to be. Hopefully it is something that I need shards for. I'm getting a lot of progress on the Arceus Plates so that's awesome. The hardest is Draco Shards for me, mainly because dragons take too long to hatch.

Posted by: Rosalind Lutece Oct 3 2016, 05:53 PM

No Reshi for me. Which is fine, I'll take something else.

Stuffs been going down at work. My job prospect might not happen, our Manager is planing on stepping down because she's getting stressed and pretty depressed with it all. So until that gets cleared up to me tomorrow (because I will ask her before she leaves) I'm completely in the dark. (She wants to stay at out store, but that Assistant Manager's spot that I want is still there, she could get forced over there instead) It's kinda stressing me out as well.

I've been drawing to take it off my mind, but then it just somehow finds it ways to me. Then I just get worried. Ugh, this should not be complicated it's just a store.

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 3 2016, 06:05 PM

I keep forgetting to keep an open spot in my party.. I'll go do that now. I just hit the fill my party button without thinking about it. Not sure what I should shiny hunt next and I'm looking forward to the Halloween exploration.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 3 2016, 06:30 PM

Hey, there, Reshiram egg! You will be a welcome addition to my dex!

Now to try and get this exploration done.

I'm also thinking of doing some Inktober drawings tonight. I have a few days to catch up on, though.

Posted by: Quincia Oct 3 2016, 06:34 PM

Ooh, I got a Reshiram. I 'm really glad because I don't have one yet.

And I finally finished the "That burning desire" Exploration. That took me so long to do. After doing that one, somehow other explorations seem to be very simple and easy to do. XD

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 3 2016, 06:58 PM

? Are the random events occurring more today or something? Cause this is the first time I ever encountered two in one day.

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Oct 3 2016, 08:31 PM

That's smart, yoms can't blame you for that u.u and yes!! my day was definitely better, dear \o/

Congrats to all the new Reshiram owners!! I was gonna make a post earlier but I was derailed by Grumps Dream Course and a piece of artwork I needed to draw by midnight (gpx time for reference)-- I kind of freaked out a little before I realised that my egg isnt part of the distribution per se. It makes sense but I worry so easily its nuts ha ha.

Posted by: SawkItToMe Oct 3 2016, 10:42 PM

Got my Reshiram egg! Just what I wanted! Awesome! Good luck to others getting their eggs this week. Just finished my group midterm for my Fundamentals of Game Design class and got a 95, which is great! My head is killing me though.

Posted by: eludicatorflame Oct 4 2016, 12:00 AM

I'm glad to hear your day was better, Clay, nods! Also, managed to finish the Celebi exploration pretty quick, so I'll try the Johto trio exploration now, though the fact it apparently needs Vs seeker has me a bit nervous - I tend to have bad luck with that, but I'll give it a shot as well!

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 4 2016, 12:19 AM

After I hatch these gotta remember to keep a spot open. I'm the worst at remembering, also had to write down the berries so I could give the right ones to people's Pokemon.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 4 2016, 07:55 AM

I actually have a slot open this time, so hopefully I'll get something today. Fingers crossed for Giratina!

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 4 2016, 07:57 AM

The Mobile Walker works for me in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer. The site doesn't display very well in either, but I use those browsers solely for activating the Mobile Walker :P


I've seen so many awesome Inktober drawings on tumblr, and it's made me want to do some too! Though I haven't drawn in so long ^^" Hopefully I'll be able to do a couple that look half decent.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 4 2016, 08:33 AM

I keep seeing ones from Thomas Sanders' list of prompts and they look so good! I may just pick and choose which ones to do.

I always look forward to the Poke Hunts, oddly enough. It's like an extra little challenge and hunt.

I wonder when the prizes from SWSH will be usable?

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Oct 4 2016, 08:38 AM

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 4 2016, 08:39 AM

Latest Sun/Moon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciqAkdXQ9dw&feature=youtu.be! We have starter evolutions!

Posted by: Ariento Oct 4 2016, 09:15 AM

Any way, http://gpx.plus/info/LKIlA only needs 42 more cheri berrries.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 4 2016, 09:20 AM

I just sent out five or so sky gifts, so enjoy!

I need to get rid of some of the higher rarity trinkets that I have a lot of. All I use trinkets for is sky gifts, so 5+ is useless to me.

Also, could you please help feed this one rawst berries?? http://r.gpx.plus/uGwlA

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 4 2016, 09:23 AM

Well Dark types for the Poke Hunt. I don't have very many shards, so hopefully the Eevee I get are good. It is hard trying to hatch eggs without multipliers.

Posted by: Wheatthin Oct 4 2016, 09:31 AM

I'm so hyped for the new sun and moon. Hopefully the games lack of gym battles turns out alright.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 4 2016, 09:33 AM

There's a Manaphy in the safari, if anyone wants it. I don't need one, so I didn't grab it.

Posted by: Dusko Oct 4 2016, 10:55 AM

I'm sad to see so many didn't have luck with last months shiny hunt! Thats a real bummer! Take your determination and try to get that shiny this month! :') You may not get the prize, but getting the shiny will be fulfilling! This was the first SWSH I actually completed so my feelings are on the opposite side of the spectrum! Having failed miserably so many times though, I will say don't give up on your shinies! :')

I got the SWSH item, but as a newbie to these, I have no idea what to do with it! I probably can't do anything with it yet. I am just casually clicking on it everyday to see if anything happens. lmfao

Posted by: Ariento Oct 4 2016, 12:29 PM

I've had to put my shiny Eevee hunt on pause. The dang eggs take far too long to hatch, and with an exploration Pokemon and two legendary eggs crowding my party, it's hours in between me being able to grab daycare eggs. Right now I'm breeding for achievements, until my party clears out.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 4 2016, 01:23 PM

Hmm... I got a male 130 eevee right off the bat. I'm going to evolve and enter it, but I'm hoping for a better entry. Deino or a female eevee, probably. We shall see, though. Especially with no multipliers...

In Pokemon Go, I hatched a Chansey yesterday. 10k egg, and it was only a 375 CP. Rather sad, but that knocks my dex entries up to 121, which is pretty exciting!

Posted by: Ariento Oct 4 2016, 03:04 PM

I got a Giratina, yesssssss. I'm tempted to name it Spoop.

Posted by: Jen Oct 4 2016, 03:55 PM

The distribution post has been updated for October 6th. If you missed my post yesterday, everyone is eligible for it even if you've already gotten an egg this month.

Posted by: Cycloneblaze Oct 4 2016, 04:03 PM

If you get an egg tomorrow, whatever that is, will you also be eligible for Diancie?
On a totally unrelated note, I hope we get a Plus soon.

Posted by: Luneon Oct 4 2016, 04:19 PM

It's okay Jen
Don't worry Thank you for making it available to everyone!

----------------------------------------

Hm depending on what type of things you draw you can gain quite a lot
You never know~ So don't give up hope just yet

--------------------------------------



-----------------------------------------



-----------------------------------------

Ooh Diancie <3 Thank you so much! One of my favs

------------------------------------------

Edit: just noticed I got Giratina
Cool!!!!!

Posted by: Ariento Oct 4 2016, 05:36 PM

Finally got the darn old man event! MissingNo babby!

Posted by: Jalakins Oct 4 2016, 05:42 PM

So to all you guys who saw the new Sun and Moon stuff this morning...

Also, yay! Giratina! <3 But I wonder what is tomorrow. *thinks* Also, thanks for making the last one available to all. ^^ It's awesome!

Posted by: eludicatorflame Oct 4 2016, 05:50 PM

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 4 2016, 05:56 PM

Since there will be twice as many eggs on the 6th, does that also mean that instead of the usual 1 set shiny, it will be 2 this time? Or is this just wishful thinking?

"I'm not being belligerent! I'm just telling you to shut up!" he says belligerently.

I don't know what my brother thinks he's going to get out of arguing with our mom and step-dad like that. All it does is get him in trouble. Which just makes him argue even more.
I'm not even upset right now. It's been happening so frequently that I'm hardly even surprised when it happens.

Posted by: Quincia Oct 5 2016, 01:34 AM

Ooh, Diancie! I'll definitely leave a space in my team tomorrow.

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 5 2016, 02:08 AM

Posted by: Ninja Squirrel Twins Oct 5 2016, 02:42 AM

I got an Giratina in the the egg raffle for this month!

Posted by: Zyxyz Oct 5 2016, 03:16 AM

Finally got my Happy Ending achievement! I just released ~120 of the max happiness mons I was holding on to for it, so if anyone here is still working towards the achievement, now's a good opportunity to pick up some of them from the Safari Zone once they're added

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 5 2016, 07:35 AM

Usually I don't ask for things like this, but I feel like it will take forever to get 120 Chesto Berries without help.
So if you can, please throw a Chesto Berry to him! Thanks!

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 5 2016, 09:43 AM

Oooh! Sweet! Thank you! I have already gotten a distribution egg so the chance to get another egg is exciting! Thank you!

I've been quite busy on my end so I haven't been out and about much but I hope to change that (especially now that I know I could get another free eggie) *happy dances*

Great news received yesterday though. I might have told you about how, back in August, I was side swiped by another car on my way home from work? Well. The police report finally became available and the insurance company of the other driver agreed with my insurance company. The fault is 100% on their driver - not me. *super happy dances* So now we just have to figure out when to get the inspection done to consider the repairs. Hopefully this can all be behind me within a couple of weeks. *sigh* If only the cop had decided to ticket the other driver on scene. This would have been over much sooner. But! Good news is good news so - yay!

*EDIT*
Quick side question. Has there been any information/update on the SWSH prize? I'm wondering about talk of it being available in the Shop for purchase. That'd be my luck - that I failed at winning something and that's when the prize isn't readily available for purchase. LOL But was just curious if I missed an update on that.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 5 2016, 11:34 AM

I'm going for Deino for this pokehunt, hope I get one with high IV's soon is it a 10k egg. I gave a chesto to your golurk, hope you get there soon. As for the SWSH I haven't seen anything either. We'll just have to be patient and wait for it to be ready.

Posted by: DrSnap Oct 5 2016, 11:37 AM

Well, a special Diancie is distributed, and the reward is a jewel bag... You can see a link there ^^

Posted by: Ariento Oct 5 2016, 11:42 AM

It feels so weird having only one egg in my party. I'm taking a break from shiny hunting and eggdex completion to work on evolving, so I've got four 'mons in my party I'm trying to max out happiness on.

Posted by: Reservoir Oct 5 2016, 03:10 PM

OOO:
I received one of the mystery eggs! I'm very happy about this one; it was definitely worth waiting for! I need the entry for my Pokédex, and I reallyyyy enjoy the spritework and colors it has. 83
Unfortunately, it seems my fiancé did not get one... I'm rather sad about that, as he liked it a lot when I showed it to him before. I think he would have really enjoyed it. >;

Posted by: RicFule Oct 5 2016, 03:16 PM

Well, this one is fairly easy to get. Not going to say how, but you can check it in your Dex info screen.

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Oct 5 2016, 03:23 PM

I knew it!!!! I didly dang knew it!!! I thought "oh I'm gonna risk waiting to get the one on the fifth oooh!!" well I got squat. can't complain because I automatically qualified for reshiram but it is a little bummer that the one time I decide to Risk It™ I failed. I'll keep my eye out for tomorrow, anyway u.u

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 5 2016, 05:02 PM

Wow, was today a great day! At least because of my last class. Our lecture was moved outside and we ended up doing a rendition of Oedipus Rex. It was fantastic and so much fun!

I actually have free time tonight. I don't know what to do with myself.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 5 2016, 05:05 PM

So, I currently have a 135 IV male Umbreon in the weekly hunt. But I recently hatched a 130 IV FEMALE Eevee. Would the gender bonus be worth switching them, or should I stick with my male?

Posted by: Ariento Oct 5 2016, 05:20 PM

Why are female Burmies so hard to find? I know it's supposed to be a 50/50 chance, so how come I've only found one out of five eggs? I need the Rock Paper Scissors achievement (and any other ones I can get by the end of the month)

Posted by: eludicatorflame Oct 5 2016, 05:50 PM

Oho, so THAT'S what the mystery egg was? I had a feeling, given the clue that was handed out...it's a really fitting Pokemon for Halloween I like the color! Congrats to all who got one rolls!

Posted by: SawkItToMe Oct 5 2016, 07:42 PM

Can;t wait to see what the SWSH egg voucher is going to be... It should be activating soon!

Posted by: RicFule Oct 5 2016, 10:05 PM

Well, it's not even certain that it IS an egg voucher. It could potentially even be the Diancite. And since Diancie is now being released tomorrow, it looks even MORE likely.

EDIT - Ooo. Just thought of something. Maybe it's not the Diancite. Maybe it's ANY Mega stone that you don't currently have. For example, if you don't have the Alpha Sapphire and the Diancite, it could give either of them. {I don't think if it IS a Mega Stone Bag, it would give more than one.}

Posted by: SawkItToMe Oct 5 2016, 10:27 PM

Diancie isn't arriving tomorrow, it's been out for a while; http://gpx.plus/info/WbhhS via an exploration. Diancie is just being given away tomorrow via the monthly giveaway events, it's not that it's never been available.

You're right in that it could possibly be the as of now unreleased Diancite, but since it's listed under "Egg Vouchers" in the bag, I have my doubts. But who knows, perhaps the general event vouchers are listed in the "Egg Vouchers" section? Not sure. But I still think it could perhaps be an egg.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 5 2016, 11:24 PM

I know. I never said it was Diancie's FIRST release. I personally have two of them, one for the purpose of eventually Mega-evolving. I was just saying that, in response to this post: http://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=74353&view=findpost&p=2470116, maybe they had that specific one in mind to tie in with the SWSH prize.

Plus, as according to one of my original postings on the SWSH prize, if it IS a new pokemon, there has been no update to the Pokedex, at this point in time. I don't recall what category old non-pokemon SWSH prizes fell into, though. But I guess we'll find out soon.

Posted by: SawkItToMe Oct 5 2016, 11:37 PM

Ahhhhhh I see, apologies for misunderstanding! And good point, the pokedex tends to be updated prior to novelty releases, yet ours has not been updated.

Whatever it is, I hope it's good, hahaha.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 6 2016, 12:18 AM

Have any Mega stones even been given away via SWSH prize?

I think it'd feel a little.... boring getting Diancite as the prize honestly, would it just be early access and the people who didn't win can find Diancite like a normal mega stone after the month ends or something?
I think it's a unique novelty we're getting

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 6 2016, 01:11 AM

I did it! Got the Team Rocket Achievement! Not focusing on much else at the moment, just breeding and getting achievements. Also battling here and there, feel free to add me to your goal pad guys I try and click when I can. Tomorrow will be a busy day though!

Posted by: SawkItToMe Oct 6 2016, 02:11 AM

Congrats! Achievements are super fun, I was super happy when I finally finished all the gym and elite 4 achievements. Good luck to getting even more of them.

Posted by: Matto Oct 6 2016, 02:55 AM

Achieved my new Activity Score, Interaction & Proper Berry daily record in just a couple of hours today

Posted by: North Star Oct 6 2016, 05:46 AM

Aren't most SWSH prizes just early access to something? Novelties are usually breedable, and when they aren't, the items can still be bought or gotten through other ways =/ The only prizes I can think of that are a bit more exclusive are the Kyurem stones.


I also thought of the Diancite when checking the prize description, and like RicFule said, Diancie being picked as a replacement prize in the giveaway is... interesting

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 6 2016, 06:10 AM

Oh yeah, Diancie is today. Welp, hopefully I can get an egg or two to hatch so I at least have a chance of getting one!

In other news, I've reached level 25 in Pokemon Go. My dex is at 121, which is pretty cool. I don't really know how much more I can do with this, aside from try to grind for the evolutions I don't have.

Posted by: Esmee1993 Oct 6 2016, 08:23 AM

Darnit, missed all the eggs gifts! Blame my need to fill the party!

Currently working on finishing my kanto dex, with all pokemons IV's above 100, that is hard! My highest is a 156 Gastly! My lowest a 20 ratatta.

Also doing that Burning Desire, I will be sooo happy when it's over. I'll do it two times more just for the achievment, then I am sooo done.

Saying that, my Garatina need 600 pecha berry's, soo If you would like to help me out? http://r.gpx.plus/ZtNlA

Posted by: Tulaash Oct 6 2016, 12:19 PM

So I've continued working on my choose-your-own adventure game, and I finally implemented an achievement system. They do absolutely nothing except show that you did a small secret in the game. I fixed a few issues from the first time i shared it here and added quite a bit. I'm still not sure how to set the music up to play on any computer other than my own, so if someone could figure out a path I'd need, that would be amazing (right now it's set up to my desktop.) As usual, just put the two files on your desktop (even though the music doesn't matter right now :/): https://www.dropbox.com/s/0fsk2x9poi805ns/Sch%C3%B6n%20Region%20Adventure.zip?dl=0

Posted by: Ariento Oct 6 2016, 02:01 PM

*wiggles around* Only an hour until Diancie's given out!

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 6 2016, 03:04 PM

*squeals with joy*

If the SWSH prize was something to do with Diancie I failed at that... but luck shined upon me for the egg at least. So hopefully whatever the prize was will be made available before too much longer for us lozers to purchase in the shop.

Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, GPX! for my Diancie egg! When I saw the site went off line for the distribution I was worried. So grateful to be able to exhale and breathe normal now that I'm sporting that egg. Thank you! So now I just have to hope that, if that prize does have something to do with this egg, that I can purchase it before it hatches. *crosses fingers* That makes typing hard, sure. But it'll be worth it. LOL

Posted by: groenii Oct 6 2016, 03:08 PM

Umm hello! I have a question.
Earlier this month, I received a celebi egg from this event (not the exploration one).
I hatched it and kept an open spot in my party.
Today I received a diancie egg from the event.
However in the rules it says that a user can only get ONE event egg PER MONTH.
Here:

http://r.gpx.plus/THQY

The pokemon to the left is my event celebi and in my party it shows that I have received a diancie egg.
Does someone know how this is possible?

Also I think the community thread is a cool idea,

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 6 2016, 03:09 PM

I'm pleased. Managed to get yesterday's egg, plus Diancie today! But I do wish the weather would change soon, I have some weather-related evolutions and formchanges to do to complete my dex!

Posted by: viicarga Oct 6 2016, 03:13 PM

Um, hello?

I recently hatched my Reshiram, and then today I got a Diance egg I believe. I thought we could only get one?

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 6 2016, 03:14 PM

Earlier in the week, Jen announced that they were choosing the egg for today's distribution event. Because of the last minute switch, they not only increased the # of eggs being given out, but that EVERYBODY was eligible to receive it, even if they had already gotten an event egg.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 6 2016, 03:15 PM

Due to the raffle winner for today's egg not contacting the person in charge about which egg will be distributed, there was a delay. So Diancie was picked, the number of eggs doubled, and it was made that people who already got an egg would have a chance too.

I actually got an event egg before I got a Diancie egg (Giratina though, not Celebi), too.

Posted by: groenii Oct 6 2016, 03:16 PM

Ah thank you for answering ^^

Also thanks to Ariento .

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 6 2016, 03:17 PM

Yay! I got a Diancie egg! Hurray!
This is the one I am most happy for among my distribution eggs so far!

@groenii: Jen mentioned it a few times if you want to look for her replies in this thread. But yes, it's exactly as Ariento said.

ed.: lot of people here today, so a lot of people were faster at answering your question

Posted by: mysli Oct 6 2016, 03:34 PM

*sigh* Some people got two eggs, I got none. Well, fits in with the general "luck" I'm having this week. Botching tests in school, still not having recieved important paperwork, leaving parts of my purchase at the shopping center, being on my way to getting sick (when holidays start on saturday), .... yeah. Great week, this one. May I exchange this week (or the whole year) for a less faulty one?
And the fun thing: in germany we have a saying that goes "everyone says 'smile, it could be worse', so I smiled - and it got worse!".so as a pessimist I'm not counting on next week to be better...

Posted by: Jen Oct 6 2016, 04:05 PM

Updated the second post to include my comments about today's distribution. I should have done that in the first place, sorry about that. If there is a next time, then I'll update that post as soon as I update the thread.

Hope everyone's October is going well! I'm just waiting for those Overwatch Halloween Loot Boxes to hit the store already... They've leaked, so it has to be soon. Right? Right??

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 6 2016, 04:18 PM

Oh, so that's why I got a Diancie. lol
Now I got another to decide which one has the best IVs to turn into Mega Diancie, whenever she gets added.

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 6 2016, 04:26 PM

Huh.

Have you ever got the feelings like you was the only one working on the exploration? This current task, much like the last, is taking an enormous amount of time. Much more time then it should. It's not that I mind (well, ok, maybe I do) one specific Pokemon... but when it seems only one person is breeding it and nobody else is releasing it... gah. It gets to ya. Don't it?

Where for art thou, ?

Guess I'll wait for things to cycle and try to make the Audit Workshop more affordable instead. As my movie star fav once said: I'll be bach."

Posted by: TheBloodWitch Oct 6 2016, 04:31 PM

AHH! THANK YOU! Thank you thank you thank you! I LOVE DIANCIE! I can't believe I got this! Thank you!

Posted by: Cycloneblaze Oct 6 2016, 04:43 PM

The game is probably looking for the music in the exact directory you specify (it looks like it's C:/Users/user/Desktop/SchönMusic/), a directory that won't be present on anyone else's computer. Your options are to move it to a directory everyone will have (e.g. C:/Program Files (x86)/game/music.mp3) and tell people who download your game to do that too, or a better idea, use a relative instead of an absolute path. That'd entail making sure the music and the html file are in the same folder and then setting the paths to, instead of the full path name, just the file name. I had a peek through your html and it looks like http://prntscr.com/cqpxms is the place for that? I don't know how you actually work on your game or even if relative paths would work. But you should try it and see.
/me remove programmer hat

I got a Diancie egg today, too, so that's good - now to hope that the Diancite actually is being added

Posted by: Quincia Oct 6 2016, 05:07 PM

Yay! I got a Diancie egg <3
I can't believe I got two event eggs this week

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 6 2016, 06:29 PM

Yaaaayyy Diancie! This will just make me think of the Diancie movie, which was hilarious.

Also, what's this about Overwatch Halloween boxes? Yes please! I want my characters to have costumes.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 6 2016, 06:29 PM

I agree with Cycloneblaze, relative paths should work. You could put the music files in the same folder as the game and it would work anywhere with a relative path.

I got fifth's and Diancie, so that's good. ^^ I just got a Deino with slightly better IV's than the one I got earlier. I have to go on a road trip so hopefully I'll remember to check in in an hour to prime and then in another three hours when I get to the coast. Oh well, if not I hope 117 is good enough on an Hydreigon, aiming for second :P

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 6 2016, 07:09 PM

Lord Pokemon! Thank you! Because of your release I was able to move on in this exploration. So thank you big time!

And, since I moved on, look at who I "ran into"? http://r.gpx.plus/TeAgA Poor thing got paralyzed and is feeling a bit spicy because of it. So! If you are in our neck of the woods... and you have a little spice of life to offer... would you mind tossing a sassy, spicy berry at her? we'd so! appreciate it.

In unrelated news wow! The news is really talking about this mega hurricane, category 4, hitting FL right now. I hope that the worse it gets is some wind and rain. Please be safe all you Floridians out there! If you were part of the mandatory evacuations, I hope you adhered to it. And if you did, you probably aren't reading this right now. But! Trust that your GPX Fam is out here hoping and praying and thinking about you.

Stay safe out there!

*EDIT*

And guess what I just noticed? My from the explore... was a IV 153!! So, since I moved on to the next tasks, I was able to evolve it and move it. Guess where I moved it to? LOL Can you say: hail Mary pass? LOL

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 6 2016, 08:04 PM

I was so hoping to get a Diancie egg today and I did . I was working when the Diancie eggs were given out so I didn't get a chance to check until now! Thanks for the second Event egg this month, greatly appreciate it.

Speaking of work, I told my boss that she only scheduled me one day off. I won't be getting my second day off this week either. My shift on Saturday was also changed so I'm a bit annoyed at that. I wish that the schedule couldn't be changed once it's posted because all of my plans are ruined.

I hatched a 133IV female Eevee last night so I put it in my party, got its Happiness up to evolve it into Umbreon and put it in as my entry. I'm hoping that it'll be enough to get 1st place.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 6 2016, 08:05 PM

Poor doggies. They miss mom and sister, so they're barking at anything that could be them coming home.

Posted by: Luneon Oct 6 2016, 08:41 PM

Missed out on the Diancie which is a shame, but eh I guess with everyone being eligible for this
And... that's quite a few people.
So I guess chances of getting one are just incredibly slim (Y'know cause there's no elimination rounds)

Anyway today I spent most of the day sleeping so I really didn't do much
I'm thinking about going out for food shopping tomorrow but idk...
Idk if it's a bug but for me the Silph Road Nest Atlas (Pokemon GO) is visible even though I don't have an account.
So I've been looking at that most of the day, hoping some nests get verified but I guess I'm gonna have to do a round sometime xD

Did anyone find new/changed nests in the neighborhood after the SR Nest Atlas update?

Also started the Celebi exploration cause why not y'know~

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 6 2016, 10:41 PM

I ended up sending and Hydregion with 127 IV's, I thought it wouldn't get internet on the way but it worked jsut fine. Got clicking and the pokewalker did the rest XD I have my fingers crossed for a shiny diancie, or Misquaza...or any of the others on my shine recorder would be nice XD

Posted by: lalartu Oct 6 2016, 10:51 PM

After some hunting I've now found out this is where my random eggs keep showing up from!
I'll log in after a while and see my egg slots full, even though I know I was leaving one open at all times for random shelter grabs.
Neat stuff.

Posted by: Thaliel Oct 6 2016, 11:37 PM

oh my chuck! I got two eggs this time around! OK I already have a celebi, so I gave it away, but that diancie, I already love it to bits

Posted by: Esc Oct 6 2016, 11:59 PM

Hi everyone! Long time since I posted. How's everyone doing?

I probably missed the discussion already, but is anyone going to play the demo for Sun and Moon? Also, what does everyone think about the possibility of split evolutions for the starters? I personally hope they have split evolutions, it'll make thinks more unique.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 7 2016, 01:42 AM

Well seeing as you can only get Ash-Greninja(So far) via the demo, I imagine some people will be playing just for him. Which includes me I wasn't originally going to play the demo in case it spoils something in the main game, but if I get Ash-Greninja I can't say no.


And I'd love split evolutions..... Rockruff is supposed to share something special with them. Litten/Torracat is awesome, but I don't really care for the other two starters at all currently.

Posted by: eludicatorflame Oct 7 2016, 04:23 AM

Huh, well recieving two event eggs when i'm trying to do explorations wasn't something I expected tbh but I didn't even have diancie yet so I'm pretty happy with my luck, golly! I'll just have to be more careful to keep more party slots free for the exploration tho rolls

Posted by: Quincia Oct 7 2016, 05:48 AM

I just got Pikachu Ex collection box <3
I opened it and I found 3 ex cards - all of them being Eeveelutions (+ the pikachu Ex as well)

I'm so happy~

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Oct 7 2016, 05:52 AM

I'm cranky, my back is sore, running on one hour sleep in a hurricane but woo my bagon hunt is complete. minty fresh dragon here we come!! (now time to think of a name for the boi for the next day, frick. ) I also got diancie and now with the worst of the weather passed I can like... I dunno be active and stuff instead of marathoning game grumps for my own sanity. God, I'm tired.

Posted by: Shaoo Oct 7 2016, 05:52 AM

Damn I feel so old haha. *cry in a corner*
Got the Diancie egg, so happy ^^ thank you very much it's a nice gift for my 7th birthday <3

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 7 2016, 05:55 AM

Well, hi, Rank 1! I wasn't expecting that, but I will happily take the shard and the points! Apparently that umbreon was better than I thought.

I'm stuck on this exploration because I just can't seem to find a murkrow, and of course I don't have one that I can breed. Grr.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 7 2016, 08:17 AM

I really hope the starters have split evolution forms. Because I'll cry if the leaked litten evolution is the only final evolution, and I can't say I"m too fond of the final Poplio evolution there either.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 7 2016, 10:12 AM

Got the same surprise with my Hydregion, it was a nice way to start the day.

Split evolutions would be an interesting mechanic. I wonder how they'll make it work.

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 7 2016, 10:46 AM

Was very happy when I found out my Honchkrow earned the top spot as well. *happy dances* I am just glad that I was able to find the Honchkrow for the explore which freed up my Murkrow for the Poke Hunt. Hello dreaded shard!

So, I hear tell there is a Sun & Moon demo? And we get to obtain a special Pokemon if we play that can carry over to the game? Well then! I guess I know what I need to focus on this weekend! LOL Is the demo already out? If not, when will it become available? This excites me greatly and I better let my girls know, too.

Oh, and thank you to the person who mentioned Keldeo for the October Pokemon giveaway in game. I was able to collect my four so I'm good. It seems to have kind of weak moves so I'm hoping that, when I'm able to start training it, it'll improve. It sure is adorable though! So I'm glad to have gotten them.

I'm also still working on the Celebi explore and my little, wild guy is still pretty much paralyzed. If you can't see the berries and want to wait to swing by the route we're on I totally get it. But once the berries aren't hidden from your sight anymore, if you are feeling super spicy today, that'd be very much welcomed if you care to share with the poor, poor spicy paralyzed Celebi. http://r.gpx.plus/TeAgA

Posted by: Ariento Oct 7 2016, 11:25 AM

Just watched the new episodes of Pokemon Generations, and the legendary beasts one has me crying gdi. Now I really have to do their exploration, just gotta get some more achievements.

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 7 2016, 12:11 PM

I'll certainly be playing the demo-made sure I have enough space for it too. I tend to get retail copies of games that have them available, so no worries about me having enough space for the full game when it comes out.

Posted by: Cycloneblaze Oct 7 2016, 01:45 PM

You would want to, apparently the digital version is 27k blocks! Though I usually get physical Pokémon games so I'll probably do for this as well. Definitely gonna get the demo though.

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 7 2016, 01:58 PM

*hyperventilates*

Oh my! Oh my shiny eyes! I can barely believe that luck. By off chance the other day, I saw a Miltank egg in the Lab. I had no real desire or reason to grab it - just this feeling. An inkling. So I grabbed it. And when it was ready to hatch as a Miltank that feeling got stronger again. So... I mixed the egg with some chocolate. And there it "fermented" and "percolated" until it was done. Which it just got done and ready to hatch. That inkling still tugged at me, but I didn't hold my breath. Not my luck. Couldn't be.

But!

It was!!!

*faints*

I just got a shiny novelty. It's only my second of such an occurrence. The first shiny novelty was the Shiny Snowy Girafarig I've called Neive. And now I have Mint C. Chip She likes to be called Mincie for short though. Tee hee hee.

Thank you, GPX! Thank you for this wonderful surprise! She's beautiful!!! And wow! She's only one of ten currently!

In other GPX related news.. I continue to be at a standstill on my exploration. Derailed first by fog and now by time and patience I find that, again, I must wait. And wait. And wait. But that's ok. Because I can ask Mincie to help me make some mint chocolate chip ice cream we can eat while passing the time.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 7 2016, 02:14 PM

Congratulations on the shiny!

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 7 2016, 02:52 PM

Congrats, Mamanator! That's some awesome luck!

And hey, I just nabbed two murkow eggs! I grabbed two because I do eventually want to shiny hunt for it, so I can have Morrigan.

Posted by: Reservoir Oct 7 2016, 05:37 PM

I find it so upsetting to influence an egg just to have it hatch with low IVs... I was reallyyyy hoping I'd hatch a better Cobalion to use in the Battle Tower. ;~; Oh, well. My current one will have to do for a while longer.

That's so many wasted Pass Orbs, though. ;;; At least the exploration didn't take long at all to complete, and it didn't give me any trouble, either.


Hmm... There's a few 'mons that I'd like to improve to have a stronger team, if only slightly stronger. I forgot that was something I was working on for a while before going on a hiatus. Unfortunately, I recall that I reached a standstill: It's very difficult to keep up with the amount of Pass Orbs needed for influencing.... I'd usually hatch several many eggs just for each one to have lacking IVs that made it not worth swapping out the Pokémon I was already using. Actually, I remember now that there's a few Pokémon I still want to obtain to use for my team(s), too. I have a fair bit of work to do, then. .-.

I really enjoy the Battle Tower. Hopefully I'll maybe get around to doing that again soon. I'd like to get my Battle Subway streak up, I still have several Styling Combs to collect, I think there's a few long-term achievements I wanted to complete, plus a few other goals.

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 7 2016, 05:38 PM

While I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, here's how I see it:
- Being powerful doesn't mean, it's not a pacifist. Or restraining his power completely, because if it didn't, it would go way overboard.
- People fear what they do not know, or understand. Especially if it's stronger than them.
- People do things when they are in a crowd, that they would never dare to do otherwise.
- Rumors are very effective. Even if it hasn't done anything, rumors could convince everybody, that in secret it steals children to eat their brain. Or simply cause diseases. If there's a powerful being nearby, it's a wonderful scapegoat for all your misfortune.

It looks like I accidentally got both Misquaza and Diancie from the distribution. Didn't even realize it, thought the DIancie came from the diamond goodie bag.

I'll release them both. Just gonna wait for Misquaza to be done with the underground.

Posted by: InsaneMoments Oct 7 2016, 10:02 PM

Well shoot, I accidentally, without thinking clicked the wrong exploration ahaha. Guess ill have to pay attention next time!

Hatched my 5th, shiny mudkip because for some reason I still grab their eggs when im grabbing hunt pokemon. Comeon brain, wake up xD I dont any more shinies of them lmfao

Im a little sad that I never ended up getting a shiny for my birthday last month or for the hunt, but my luck wasnt the best AND I was super super busy. I did get my last needed WoW pop figure though. So yay upside!

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 8 2016, 12:59 AM

This discussion is very interesting and what comes to my mind is mages in Dragon Age, how they're "evil" and bad ..and they'll all use blood magic. People need scapegoats and if someone is a little different or acts a bit different well they're automatically "bad" or a "witch" and yeah, people never really stopped to think during the witch trials at all. If someone really was a witch certainly just them being tied up and such wouldn't stop them. People were too instilled with fear and panic back then to stop and think. Maybe if they had innocents wouldn't have been killed.

Had a pretty busy last couple of days. I went to the casino for the first time last night, and had so much fun ^^ sadly didn't walk away with much of a profit haha And this week I don't have any tests or assignments due for uni, so I can take things a little easier...got a bunch of games and anime I need to catch up on :P

In GPX news, I've managed to hatch two shinies this week, after not having hatched any for two months ^^"

Posted by: Indigo chan Oct 8 2016, 05:07 AM

So I summoned my very first Pokemon (since I have a boat load of summoning items and I'm always too scared to use them) and I thought it was successful... I found a Dialga; I thought I had done it. But when I went to receive my achievement, presumably the Newbie Summoner achievement, it turns out I got the Consolation Prize achievement instead. I'd missed my summon! At first I was disappointed because when I went to look at my Dialga egg I saw that it was summoned half an hour ago... I thought that my summon was still in the lab and that I should go back in the lab to look but I got distracted and gave up whoops. While I wish I had continued searching so I could get two legendaries, I am certainly not disappointed with my Dialga egg and now I have a nice story to accompany my Consolation Prize achievement, I guess! Congratulations to the one who stole my summon!

In other news, I have watched three movies throughout this entire week. Not sure if any of you care but since I never watch movies I am very proud of myself lol.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 8 2016, 08:40 AM

It's not a mistake, it was intentional that you could get diancie even if you already got another event egg.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 8 2016, 09:03 AM

Grats on Mincie! That's an awesome luck.


In general, humans, as a group, have proved to be close minded and fearful. Anything new or powerful is usually shunned, even today. There's a considerable amount of people that would rather fire on sight at any non human intelligent being instead of seeing if there was danger or not. They usually say it is not worth the risk of them being aggressive. In a case like that episode, they decided on not taking the risk and drive them away. Others might have adored them as deities and some would have tried to wait and see. Sadly the first group are usually the ones who either scream louder or act first.

In the witch hunts they had ways of 'disabling and preventing' witchcraft on those captured and their faith, if strong enough, protected them as individuals from retaliation. Or at least that's what they believed in and of course was proven right when nothing happened after taking those actions. Most witches in those trials were either falsely accused or used herbs and natural remedies to heal.


Hey, if it makes you proud, I don't se why not boast about it. ^^

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 8 2016, 09:31 AM

Mamanator, congratulations on your shiny Chocolate Miltank!

Yay for Pass+, generous multiplier, shiny new Metagrossite, and Diancie! Still eagerly anticipating the reveal of whatever's in the jewel goody bag.

My Flaming Zoroark pair hasn't made any shiny Flaming Zoruas yet, but they did leave me a very nice surprise to wake up to this morning. Guess who's now the proud owner of a special Zorua?

In other news, I've been working on something that I posted to Reddit's r/pokemonconspiracies. Basically it's a theory that in the anime, there's a family from Hoenn that captures and trains legendary Pokémon, and it's where Brandon, Tobias, Reggie, Paul, and Nando are all from. The extended version is here if anyone wants to read it: https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonconspiracies/comments/55kp8z/the_brandon_and_tobias_theory_the_legendary/

Just got back into doing explorations, now that a good portion of my Dex is complete. Only missing a few weather related form changes and evolutions-and almost all the Unown.

Long time no see GPX+!

Got back from long hiatus again, succeeded hatching Shiny Hawlucha and Budew It's already October, I started my studies and oh, I'm feeling old HAHA.

Is anybody here also doing something connected to military? Just wondering, cause I'm studied medicine but as a soilder.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 8 2016, 01:34 PM

Yeah, I took a break to go to a local festival with my family and I'm feeling good now. I wish I could show off what I'm doing, but it's for the Malachite MAges banner contest and the entries have to be anonymous.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 8 2016, 01:58 PM

Oh, yay, a multiplier! That will definitely help me out some!!

How is everyone's weekend going so far?
I just got off of work, so I get to relax for the rest of the day and all of tomorrow. Which means lots of clicking for me!

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 8 2016, 02:15 PM

Still working on explorations, just frustrated with in-game weather.

Posted by: x Sam Oct 8 2016, 09:06 PM

If you value your life and wish to enjoy being 'pain free', then I'd highly recommend you don't DIY. Unless of course, you're capable of anaestheising oneself, performing surgery and internal/external stitching, all without infection.

Don't be a fool. Professionals are there for a reason, don't attempt anything rash and highly idiotic.

Posted by: Gigadweeb Oct 8 2016, 09:28 PM

Finally got around to completing the task I was on in DotW. Time to wait a week or two for 400 pechas to be fed to my Dedenne...

This Pokémon was egg #941 in Soui 's 1561-day shiny hunt started on July 1st, 2012.

holy SHIT that took forever

it would've taken less time if i didnt take a bunch of breaks but still. oof.

(also hi i never posted here)

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L Oct 8 2016, 11:23 PM

Why? Are they outright refusing to help you? That's asinine.
I'm with Sam. Don't do anything that'd put your life in danger, especially something pretty serious like surgery.

Anyway, school has been pretty uneventful. Game Club started back up last Tuesday but it seemed pretty quiet, as did Thursday since no one was there.
I hope this isn't like this for the rest of the year cause me and my friends have gone every single year since freshman year, and I hope that hasn't changed...

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 9 2016, 01:09 AM

Haha that sounds like me too :P My boyfriend and best friend have made it their missions to make me watch movies with them...I just don't sit down and watch movies by myself. I can watch a TV show or sporting events for hours without moving, but struggle to get through a movie haha ^^"


I'm looking forward to seeing it!


I've had a pretty relaxing weekend so far...the first one in a while. Yesterday I was pretty exhausted from a busy week, so I mostly napped, watched TV and played LoL. Feeling more awake today, so gonna do a bit of study this arvo, then go back to playing games :P

This morning I went for a Pokemon walk around campus to get some PokeStops and Kabuto candy. Just as I was about to head back to my room, a Likitung appeared and I didn't have one...and my phone only had 2% battery left xD I actually ran around trying to find it before my phone died, and I did find and catch it with 1% left...a very intense couple of minutes haha.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 9 2016, 07:39 AM

That reminds me of my horrible luck from yesterday! Boyfriend and I were on our way to the bookstore, and all of a sudden Dragonite spawned in the middle of the road. We we driving, so I missed them at first, so we turned around so we could pick it up on both of our phones.

When I pulled mine up, it was CP ???. Like, holy shit, that has to be high since I'm level 25. Twenty minutes, 43 ultra balls and 20 great balls later, it ran away.
I was crushed.

Boyfriend, however, did catch it, so that was exciting. His was 1958 or something, making it his strongest pokemon. Still a bit of a bummer, though.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 9 2016, 08:59 AM

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 9 2016, 12:46 PM

On a side note, I managed to get TWO shinies yesterday. I posted one of them in the Shinies thread, the other one I didn't bother because it was for an achievement.

Posted by: Team Valor Katty Oct 9 2016, 01:16 PM

Does anyone know when we are able to redeem the voucher? This is the first time I've completed a shiny hunt so I'm still sort of new to it

Posted by: Ariento Oct 9 2016, 01:18 PM

From what I've heard, you just need to wait for staff to make it usable.

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 9 2016, 04:07 PM

This is correct. Last time we had a SWSH voucher I believe it took two weeks to become usable, but it's entirely random.

Loving the multiplier. Can't find any Oshawott eggs, though, so I'm gunning for Eevee today. 4 different people recently posted Eevee in the shiny thread. Maybe I'll catch some of that luck.

Posted by: Chr0nicQueen Oct 9 2016, 09:06 PM

Very new here, pretty confused I am not going to lie XD
A few months ago I received an egg from the distribution. I do understand how it works, but does it go on all month? Where could I view more information on it? I remember coming across a post of what will be next at some point in time. Maybe its over and I'm just a noob at finding this information :p Thank you for any help it is greatly appreciated

Posted by: Luneon Oct 9 2016, 09:19 PM

Everything's going fine I guess. Recovering from the flu, still.

I certainly plan on playing the demo!
Also I really hope that split evolutions like with rockruff's won't just suddenly form change in the other game version :/

----------------------------------------


1) Being afraid of something doesn't mean you can't scare it away. I'm terrified of spiders but I still succeed in killing them even though it gets me closed to an anxiety attack each time.
2) Usually beasts don't think like us. They see danger so they run. They don't think about what's fair or what isn't.
3) Nah look at spiders, they're so-called really useful but they're terrifying enough that plenty of people want them gone.

-------------------------------------------------


I suppose alright. No major events going on. Tried to make Teriyaki but idk how well I done.
I got quite a bit of leftover which I'll just eat tomorrow I guess.

----------------------------------------------------

You know these community threads which show up every month right?
Well if you go to the first page of those. And scroll down to the second post.
You see ALL the infos

It's usually just from the 2nd to the 6th or 7th of a month.
With it being the 9th (10th for me because I live in a different timezone) the distributions for this month already ended.

Busy weekend it's been! Cleaning the house, doing shopping for the fall decorations. Just moved in a new house together with my boyfriend.Our first house together! It's so awesome to do all the shopping for the first time.

having a free day now with him at work, so I am going to take advantage of the multiplier!

Posted by: Quincia Oct 10 2016, 01:06 AM

I'm very happy today.

Plus I'm really close to finishing my research paper I can finally relax a bit.

Posted by: Husdhaid Oct 10 2016, 01:09 AM

Something is happening!
4 new Carbink formes has been added to pokedex

Jewel Goody Bag is also usable now, and it's giving some items.

Posted by: Esmee1993 Oct 10 2016, 01:22 AM

Just bought the Carbink voucher form the prize shop!!

Posted by: DraconicDM Oct 10 2016, 05:56 AM

The Jewel Goody Bag is finally active (and has been placed into the Miscalleneous Items).
It contains a Diancite, 2 Carbink servant vouchers, and some extra stuff.

Has anyone hatched one of the 4 new servants?

Posted by: Woodsman Oct 10 2016, 06:17 AM

I've hatched all four, haha. They're the ones from the Diancie movie, which makes sense.

Man, it's been a while since I've posted here, but my life has been super hectic. I've actually got a real-person adult job now! ... that's currently requiring me to work third shift. Still, it hasn't been all bad, my schedule is just out of whack.

Posted by: Indigo chan Oct 10 2016, 06:22 AM

I've obtained my Carbink [Dace] egg! There were so many confirmations when obtaining it and that made me very nervous whoops. Can't wait to get all four. ~

Posted by: Targaryen Oct 10 2016, 06:36 AM

I'm set to warming up my Carbink peons

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 10 2016, 08:05 AM

Since I was unsuccessful in the SWSH I went and bought four of the Carbink Servant Vouchers from the prize shop, so now I have them all ^^ I guess now I'll have to wait until the next mega plus day for the Diancite.

I walked passed this cafe today and saw they were selling Pikachu cakes...I couldn't resist buying one

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 10 2016, 08:31 AM

This is such an improvement over that last voucher that gave multiple Pokemon, being able to choose who you get. Thanks so much. Unfortunately I'll be missing one Carbink until the Scavenger Hunt is over as I spend all my points on boxes. lol

Posted by: Ariento Oct 10 2016, 09:38 AM

Someone released a bunch of chanseys and blisseys. Now I only need 6 more to get the box of bliss achievement!

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 10 2016, 09:51 AM

Ok, I just bought four vouchers for the carbinks, hope I don't mess up and get repeated ones. On my way to work, hope it isn't too rough of a day.

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 10 2016, 10:26 AM

It absolutely is! The Diancite is also much appreciated. Worth the wait.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 10 2016, 10:36 AM

You shouldn't. It lets you choose which one you want. So, just start at the top and work your way down, or start at the bottom and work your way up. No confusion as to which you got or not.

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Oct 10 2016, 11:40 AM

Hahahahaha nooooo I chose the wrong one on the last voucher.
I should not be talking on the phone and choosing which one I want at the same time, lesson learned. x3

Anyway, hope everyone enjoys the SWSH prize! ^^
I had fun spriting all those Carbinks for sure.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 10 2016, 12:09 PM

See? I know it can happen XD I'm often multitasking and I have wasted a few points a couple of times. It happens when hunting summons in the lab or novelties in the shelter. I see the egg/pokemon, think 'Oh! There it is!' and promptly press space.

Posted by: Merinia Oct 10 2016, 12:11 PM

I hate you, Shelter. Always running out of what I need. >:c

Posted by: Reservoir Oct 10 2016, 12:59 PM

I wish I'd gotten a shiny and received the prize for the SWSH. :< I'm very curious as to exactly what all it had (I've seen Diancite and two Carbink Servant Vouchers mentioned, but the remaining items weren't specifically stated.) As well, I'd have less Prize Points to spend to obtain 4 vouchers, with having some Prize Points left over (all the more, as I would have received more Prize Points than I did had my shiny hunt been successful.) As is, I can only buy 3 of 4; I don't have enough for the last one. >; I'll be waiting until later to redeem mine, then. I like obtaining these sorts of releases as sets, so 3/4 won't do. ;

On that note, I tend to wish some of the Prize Shop items were capped at higher values. While a max of 2 works for a number of items, there are some that I wish were capped at 3. Snowballs are an example. I can't really guarantee (and I doubt) I'd be able to obtain the respective Pokémon as a set otherwise. (In this particular case, I happen to be extremely lucky that a 'mon found a third Snowball Underground, if I recall correctly. However, that sort of thing is generally unlikely. xP) I have no idea of any cap higher than 3, though (if anything would happen to "need" it.) Maybe it's just that I'm used to the cap of 2, but a cap of 4 or any higher starts to sound like a lot. >_o

anddd on that note, I only just realized Egg Vouchers aren't capped at 2... (If I used to know, I certainly no longer remembered.) I'm so used to special items being capped at 2 that I didn't notice such is not the case for Egg Vouchers..... DX I could have obtained 3/3 Artifact Vouchers when they were put in the shop and redeemed them by now... T_T
Well, there's always the next Prize+ day.
orz

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Oct 10 2016, 01:23 PM

I got two vouchers from my Goodie Bag, so I just had to buy two more to round out the group. I also got a Diancite and some Stardust and Shiny Stones. Nice. I also had a feeling that the prize involved them.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Oct 10 2016, 01:26 PM

Seems that not everyone got a chance to get all the Carbink Servant Eggs. So I came up with a schedule to breed 'em from my Day Care.

Tuesday will be Bort.
Wednesday will be Merrick.
Thursday will be Dace.
And Friday will be that last Carbink form I forgot the name of.

It's going to be hard finding Houndour eggs in the Shelter, but I think I can go without my Daycare for a few days.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 10 2016, 01:44 PM

Wait, the Carbink can actually breed to make those Carbink as eggs?
I'm still going to wait and buy the last one after the scavenger hunt no matter what as stalking the safari/shelter grows tedious. I member how long I was stalking for Snowlax.... lol

Posted by: Ariento Oct 10 2016, 01:48 PM

I don't know if anyone has confirmed it yet, but seeing as all the other breedable novelties can breed more of themselves, I don't see why not.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 10 2016, 03:53 PM

Oooh, I'm excited for Dace! He was rather comical in the movie.

Also, shinies are avoiding me. Over 730 budew thus far, and I've taken to breeding my own Cranidos because I can never find them.

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 10 2016, 04:05 PM

I redeemed my giftbag, and got the two with longer names. In addition, I also ended up finding a SHINY MEGANIUM in the shelter while hunting for an exploration 'mon, and I got the Hoopa event twice. Got Volcanion in RL as well.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 10 2016, 05:59 PM

Oh sweet, the Jewel Goody Bag was useable and there was a Diancite in there? Best day ever, I finally got all of the Mega Stones . I bought two more Carbink Servant Vouchers from the shop so I can get all of the Carbink forms. Gotta love hording my Prize Points instead of wasting them on things I don't need.

My day was pretty good, Happy Thanksgiving fellow Canadians. I didn't have any turkey today, as I had it last weekend, but I had pizza and it was great. I'm now chilling in bed watching a stream on twitch.

Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment, not looking forward to that at all. I just hope he doesn't have to use the numbing agent more than once, I see the needles and freak out. I have no idea how many fillings I'll be getting tomorrow, I hope its only two and not all 7 at once.

Dad is having surgery a hour before my dentist appointment, so hopefully he's done by the time that I'm finished my appointment. He's only getting his gallbladder removed, which will be a relief once its out. He hasn't quite had any pain or issues with it, but its full of stones. Our family doctor wanted it removed due to issues in the family and he doesn't want to risk it.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 10 2016, 08:18 PM

Maybe. I haven't attempted to breed them yet, as I'm still looking for a shiny Flaming Zorua, but their personal 'Dex pages say they are breedable AND sometimes breed Novlety eggs.

Posted by: Tulaash Oct 10 2016, 08:18 PM

Of course, the one SWSH I don't get a shiny, you guys get mega stones :c At least I have enough prize points to get all four of the Carbink...

Unrelated, I really love the song High Adventure from Aladdin. I just listened to the Broadway version, and it sounds much better than the demo version on the CD c:

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 10 2016, 09:04 PM

Oogh, I feel your pain, Cryptic. I can't find any Oshawott eggs. Good luck with your hunts!

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Oct 10 2016, 09:27 PM

Hm.... well, if they're indeed breedable I might as well hunt regular Carbink. I've finished a few hunts recently and had trouble wondering who to hunt that wouldn't be too "rare" considering the only one I find regularly at the moment from my current hunts is Squirtle.
Porygon's are a rare find.

Posted by: RicFule Oct 11 2016, 02:21 AM

Hmm. It appears you'll NEED to have all four forms to Mega evolve Diancie. Unfortunately, I currently have my Party filled with potential Pokehunt entries.

Posted by: North Star Oct 11 2016, 05:50 AM

Yeah, it's the same for me. I've gotten to the point that sometimes, while discussing LoL with friends, I almost type "servants" instead of "champions". I'm too deep into Fate hell and Grand Order's gacha won't let me out



Welp, I bought two extra vouchers and thanks to the multiplier the eggs didn't take long to hatch, so I got my Godoka Godiancie Mega Diancie last night. I picked the first Diancie I got (which was a Cypress-bred egg), and while checking her timeline later I saw I got her almost two years ago. Time sure flies.

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 11 2016, 11:26 AM

So the SWSH prize afforded our winners a new Mega Stone? For Diancie? Nice! Congratulations everybody! I saw the new prize voucher and picked up two of them. From what I'm seeing I really need to pick up four in order to collect the series? Am I reading that right?

It sounds like I can also hatch my Diancie now since the voucher doesn't reflect on her egg at all. That should help free up some space as I continue this explore and work towards nabbing all 4 Carbinks. I can't wait to see what they are!

PS: Have I told you all yet? Remember when I mentioned (a while back) that I was side swiped on my way home from work one day? And how scary that passenger in the car was and how the cop decided nobody was getting a ticket because our two stories were so wildly different? Well. All is said and done now. The police report clearly showed that I was the injured party and that they were in the wrong, 100%. So yay! We got an estimate done on my car and got the check for the damages. It won't affect our insurance at all because we went through their insurance company and ours said that our rates won't go up since I was not at fault at all. *happy dances*

Posted by: Doom Hunter Oct 11 2016, 01:14 PM

So I got 2 extra vouchers and popped all 4 Carbink all at the same time for the heck of it. I'm looking at the Merrick one and I'm thinking to myself 'dang, it looks like it's a senior Carbink officer, even. It's all dark and blue.'

It took me 5 whole minutes to realize I snagged a shiny Merrick Carbink right off the bat. xD Oops.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 11 2016, 01:28 PM

That is some awesome luck! Congrats! It looks so cool, too.

The Poke Hunt might help me move my Lunatone hunt on some. It was sitting at 4 eggs for a while, so now I am just breeding my own in hopes of getting a good entry.
I did, however, just hatch a 128 female Larvitar that I will be using at my entry unless something better comes along.

Edit: Could you please feed her a Rawst Berry? http://r.gpx.plus/VAtQA

Posted by: RicFule Oct 11 2016, 01:32 PM

Nice. You also seem to have gotten a 154 IV Dace.

Posted by: Doom Hunter Oct 11 2016, 01:32 PM

Funny thing is, that's my first voucher shiny ever....technically. <.< I've now also picked up shiny Chocotank as well from the very first Chocolate Bar I picked up. Not to mention 2 shiny Ditto now.

Of course, on the other side....that stupid Sableye hunt still gets to me... <.<

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 11 2016, 01:40 PM

Well, I just hatched a 144 IV Lunatone. Holy crap. Not sure if to use that as my entry instead, though, since it doesn't evolve. Any suggestions?

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Oct 11 2016, 02:01 PM

Dad had his surgery this morning. There was a mixup at the hospital, they told dad he had to get bloodwork done yesterday but they didn't actually tell him. He had to get his bloodwork done this morning before his surgery. He didn't get the all clear to get prepped for surgery until 2 hours after his surgery was supposed to start. He's alright now, albeit a bit groggy when I spoke to him. He's staying in the hospital overnight to make sure everything goes well.

My dentist appointment was also delayed today . Apparently they had 3-4 'emergency' patients that took priority so I had to wait. My appointment was for 9:30 but it was over an hour later before I got in. He had to inject me 7 times with the numbing agent, I can still feel the pain in my face. I had to get two fillings done today, he was going to do the top ones first but I said I had pain in the bottom so he switched to those instead. My jaw is still sore from keeping it open as long as I did. I'm so ready to just spend the rest of my day relaxing in bed. I'll get an hour or so then I'll be going to see dad in the hospital.

No luck with the Poke Hunt yet, the highest IV Larvitar I got today was 76. I'm hoping to get a good one before the end of today, hatching 10k eggs takes forever without a multiplier.

@mamanator - that's awesome, good thing the police took your side. It's always good to have your insurance stay the same, after all you weren't the guilty party.

Posted by: Ariento Oct 11 2016, 02:06 PM

That's sort of what happened with my shiny dwebble. I hatched it, and it had hatched holding a shard. So I'm sitting there, confused because I thought you could only get shards from shinies.

Posted by: Merinia Oct 11 2016, 02:54 PM

I got Lanturn and Lampent confused. I'm smart.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Oct 11 2016, 03:48 PM

Got two of the vouchers in my goody bag so I bought two more for the other carbinks. Very cool way to mega evolve Diancie. Looking forward to Volcanion being added to gpx in the future though I have to say I'm really annoyed with it being a Gamestop event for the games. I don't live super far from one but the likelihood of me getting over there is slim. I feel bad for those who don't even have the option. I wish they'd just stick to internet codes, mystery gifts, and in-game things for these. Seems sort of cheap though with the way legendaries are obtained nowadays.

I can taste the end of this darn exploration. Would folks be so kind as to give pechas? Please and thank you. http://r.gpx.plus/ECoQA

Will have a 2yr old in two months. Where did the time go? Oh, and expecting another. Two 2 and under...should be nuts interesting. The kid has taken an interest in Pokemon watching me play. I may get her a separate copy of SuMo (mostly so she doesn't screw up mine).

@Asbel Lhant: Wishing your dad a speedy recovery. Tough to see relatives in the hospital.

Hope he has a speedy recovery.

These larvitar take forever to hatch, might switch to something else for the hunt. I got fooled by the banks publicity about a credit. Luckily I asked for them to calculate the monthly fee before signing everything. Th eone on the page was a twice monthly fee, so actually half of what I'd really be paying each month. Not a nice feeling XD I'll probably wait a bit on that and save up a bit.

Mrr? Why is this the first I've heard of a game copy?

Video about it just came out yesterday on the official Pokemon youtube channel.

All events should be Wi-Fi.
I mean, I couldn't get Hoopa originally as I had no idea how I was supposed to download him at McDonalds and didn't want to stand in line to wait and see if the people at the register happened to know.
And the Gamestop codes just tick me off.... some people get more than they need, even try selling the codes. What happened to the go to Gamestop, download it there by being near the machine then being able to leave? Everyone could get their Pokemon easily
And it's just inconvenient having to go somewhere solely to download a Pokemon, least I finally pre-ordered Sun when getting Volcanion.

I'm doing a rewrite and perspective switch of Bluestar's Prophecy (Warrior Cats) and it is going so damn well. Everything is just falling into place so perfectly - I'm finding all these missed opportunities in the book, and un-missing them.

Completed my last shiny hunt, and boy am I thrilled.

Posted by: Esmee1993 Oct 12 2016, 01:01 AM

Phew. Finished the berry feeding task in that Burning Desire! Only three more tasks to go! But these ones are in my own hands now!

Posted by: Anders Howe Oct 12 2016, 04:07 AM

I miss being able to just get pokemon through WiFi I don't have a car and it's hard for me to even get to GameStop as both are at least 30-45 mins away so I tend to miss out on a ton.

Congratulations~!

I think I caught a cold, I'm feeling a bit off today. I'm doing the best I can to keep healthy (eating fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water/tea and taking it easy), we'll see where it goes. Two more days of work to go before I have a week off.

I'm stalking the Shelter/Safari Zone for a Carbink [Bort]. That's the one I should've chosen with my last voucher, but I accidentally clicked another Allotrope instead. Now my Prize Points are gone. I'm sure I'll find one someday!

@ Asbel Lhant: I hope your dad has a speedy recovery.

Posted by: Leorobin Oct 12 2016, 10:28 AM

We don't have gamestop here so no way to get it. At least none that I know of.

We are getting a flu virus in the office, or so it seems, it keeps jumping from one to the next.

Posted by: Tulaash Oct 12 2016, 11:31 AM

Well, I found out that I share a birthday with Shigeru Miyamoto, so that's a fun fact I know now. Also, I hear there's a Volcanion event soon... that's one of the last Pokémon I need for my living dex (I was stupid and missed a few mythical Pokémon :c)

Posted by: Ariento Oct 12 2016, 11:43 AM

I'm probably going to Gamestop sometime this week (I need to get a steam card), if anyone wants I can grab them a volcanion card and PM them the code. Not selling them or anything, it's free. Just one per person, though.

Posted by: Luneon Oct 12 2016, 11:54 AM

I saw the 4 forms plus mega diancie in someone's party, and the way the sprite goes over the progress bar makes me think that mega diancie is a little bit too big xD
As for forms idk which I like most
Maybe Dace??? It's definitely the most different one.

-------------------------------

I wonder if those without Diancite will be able to get the stone next time we have a plus :P

--------------------------------


I'm probably sick again, got a severe belly ache and everything which comes with that.
On the upside, GPX+ apparently felt so sorry for me that it gave me a portal for the first time ever!
Thank you GPX+ <3

I just got my grassy Musketeer! The exploration wasn't too tough in my honest opinion, for me The Quiet Forest was actually a lot harder or at least took longer despite its low achievement requirement. So now that I completed all the explorations for this batch, when this set shows up again, I can redo Tour of Illusions and A Trio of Trials for the Pokemon I don't have yet.

Also, I'm having a lot of trouble finding a Larvitar with at least 100 IVs, which is frustrating since those are 10,000+ step eggs on non-multiplier days.

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 12 2016, 01:41 PM

I have to venture to GameStop "soon" anyway to pre order a Skyrim thing-game for my eldest. So this! This just gives me cause to go sooner rather than later. LOL Of course I'll have to go home and pick up my 3DS first, but I'll definitely be putting this on my agenda. Thanks for the 4-1-1!

*EDIT*

The GameStop by us limits the number of cards they give out since their management people changed. Loyal, long standing clientele no longer have any pull. With that said... while they limit the number of cards they give out, they aren't above printing out codes (when possible) to provide extra to their customers. I am hoping the same will happen for Volcanion. If not, looks like I'll be making a few stops to a couple of GameStops between work and home this week. *gulp*

Posted by: Manah Oct 12 2016, 03:42 PM

Our GameStops don't even have cards anymore. We're supposed to use the Nintendo Zone now, except it doesn't work at all and the employees have no idea why. I know someone on another forum who used to get a ton of cards from his local GameStop because he was apparently the only one who ever asked for them. Looks like I won't get any future events now, at least not the ones with codes.

Posted by: Kazuko Himura Oct 12 2016, 05:51 PM

I could only get one card a pop at my local gamestop. Meanwhile the one near my brother's college let me have two. This is for all events. I know the management at my local gamestop very well, so I'm thinking the 'one per person' thing is due to all the GS events falling during tourist season (except the Mew one, which I got out of town).

Posted by: Snowsky Oct 13 2016, 01:06 AM

Aw, I hope you feel better soon! Congratulations on the portal, though!

Today was a pretty awesome day. My friend from precalculus invited me and her other friend to meet for bubble tea. As we were going there, I found out she's not meek and quiet like I thought she was. She's loud, boisterous, fun, brutally honest and opinionated. I love her. Her other friend is more quiet and reserved, and they act like they hate each other but I know they care. The tea shop they took me to was in a little shopping mall close to campus, which included a Nando's (heh) and, to my surprise, a Radioshack! I thought they were extinct!

Later, I got to hang out and watch RWBY with some other guys. It was fantastic. Got home at 12:00 midnight. This is the life!

Posted by: Hitaka5Ever Oct 13 2016, 03:07 AM

Now I feel even more disappointed in myself that I failed the SWSH bc the goodie bag sounds hella amazing and I'm assuming there's no way to get one, phooey. Went ahead and bought 2/4 of the vouchers

In other news, I have just 9 more gen1 shinies for my dex (not including legendaries and novelties bc too much hassle) to get. Unfortunately, it's mainly 6k and over eggs and I can't mass click bc my processor slows my internet down too much (I regret buying this laptop w/o a better processor bc I'm too lazy and poor to get it replaced) but at least I'm getting closer to finishing gen1 shiny dex!

Gonna try to 100% complete the scavenger hunt this month, but I've been slightly disinterested in this place lately (mainly bc I can't mass click and finish my exploration in time for the Halloween explorations) Hopefully the scavenger hunt will change that a bit

I have been feeling overly anxious this month, more so than the rest of the year, bc of the election in November. idk how much more of this I can take :c

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Oct 13 2016, 07:52 AM

I apparently bred someone a Shiny Lunatone, so lucky them! Kind of miffed that I missed it, but I will get one eventually.

Looks like I have another load of writing to do. Both of the essays that I turned in two weeks ago are required to be rewritten, plus I have another paper due in a different class on Saturday. Oh, the life of an English major.

Also, just throwing this out there, if there is anyone who can't get to a gamestop to get a code for Volcanion, I have four by my house that I can go to and grab extra cards. My boyfriend and I both got ours, so I would definitely be willing to give codes for those who can't get to them.

Posted by: Manah Oct 13 2016, 08:19 AM

Thanks for reminding me of the Halloween exploration I was going to finish my regular ones asap so I can start another DotW (I have one plate and enough for two or three more), but now I'll probably wait until Halloween is available and try to finish one DotW before I have to start the November exlorations. Or maybe not, I'll be busy on Flight Rising for a week in November...

At least all that stuff is going to distract me from being pissed about having to be conscious whn I'm not sleeping.

I've been busy rping lately so I forgot to keep up with the chat or with any pokenews or with gpx in general. I was even worried about my goody bag because it moved in my inventory and I didn't notice lol @_@ if I didn't have an exploration related poke in my party I'd fill my party with carbinks and a diance. Lol. I'm going g crazy about all these new forms and can I say how nice it is that the vouchers are so cheap? I hardly notice the space in my wallet.

Posted by: Reservoir Oct 13 2016, 08:04 PM

Went to GameStop Monday/first day for the Volcanion event distribution. I went kind of late in the day, so I was rather nervous and hoping that I didn't miss out. I really don't like the code card distributions... When Diancie was first released where I am, the event was a GameStop code card distribution. I wasn't able to go until the second or third day of the event due to rl stuff, anddd I found myself very disappointed. The store had already run out of the cards. From what I was told, they ran out of the cards almost immediately. :/ Thankfully there was a single store in my area that still did have a (very) few cards remaining, so I didn't miss out on Diancie. But...
All went well this time, though. ^^ I'm still trying to decide if I want the Volcanion to have a certain date. Hopefully I figure that out soon so I can begin soft resetting for nature and IVs... xP


I hope I place Rank 1 in the Poké Hunt. If I do, I'll receive a shard I don't currently have, complete an achievement, and collect a nice amount of much-needed Prize Points (some of those being from the achievement.) From there, I'll be just shy of having enough Prize Points to obtain 4/4 Carbink Servant Vouchers. I'm already working on that, though. Once I finish my current exploration, I'll complete another achievement that will award me more than enough Prize Points.


Less than a week left until the Sun/Moon demo, and more Sun/Moon news is being released tomorrow! O: I'm hoping to see a new Train On video in addition to any new news video(s). I really like those.

Posted by: eevee64 Oct 13 2016, 11:06 PM

Hope you feel better soon!


Same here...I did hatch one with 125IVs Tuesday night and put it in my mobile walker because I was travelling the next day. Got home Wednesday night and activated the mobile walker but realised I was 12 minutes too late...the Larvitar was then 1 day and 12 mins old >.> I haven't had time since to hatch and click to get another half decent entry, so I just threw a random Anorith I hatched in there ^^"

I also got my Volcanion this week. I went to an EB Games near my uni, rather than in my home town, and they gave me a few codes. Usually the EB Games at home are super strict with the one code per person thing, so it was nice to get a few extra this time ^^

Posted by: Mamanator Oct 13 2016, 11:46 PM

Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!

Thank you, GPX! I was on my way to bed and just tuned in. What a pleasant surprise! Thank you!!!!
