May Community Thread!


The April Community thread has been moved http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=72373

Hey guys! Did you all enjoy last month's thread? (: I hope so! Every month a new community thread will be made and the old one will be discarded into the archives. I don't want a super huge thread to continue to get even bigger, so I hope everyone is excited for a fresh start every month!

I've redone the instructions on how to send in nominations, so I suggest that you take a look at them if you plan on participating.

How to Participate
We're only going to count user participation this time. When you've selected the users that you'd like to nominate, send me a PM titled 'Nominations' and then list everyone that you think has been amazing that day/week/month. This should be far less tedious than sending multiple PMs in a row, so I hope this helps!

Note: There are no restrictions, so if you want to send some twice a week, once a month, or everyday that's fine!

I know that there was some confusion on what exactly participation is, but it's just as it sounds. If they're constantly seen in the thread chatting to everyone, joining in on some gaming, or just being all around great in the thread then they're good to go!

Three to two days before the end of the month, I'm going to put all the nominations into a PHP script which will generate three random names and those will be the winners for the June egg event.

Rules
Now for the not-so-fun part. If any staff member catches word of anyone bullying other members there will be punishments; such as, not being able to be eligible for the drawing, and a warning of a percentage that staff seems suitable for the committed infraction. If I find out anything I will send you a message saying what I heard/saw while leaving everyone else anonymous — so have no fear if you need to report someone — and tell you what you did wrong and why you’re being punished in such a way. Fair enough? Please keep it civil! End Note
In the end, this is all for FUN, so remember that! Don’t get competitive with other users, make friends instead! Besides, being angry and stressed will make you break out, and you don't want to break out, so think of your skin! Jokes aside, please be respectful of everyone around you. If something rubs you the wrong way then send a private message to the person and talk it out. Leave the drama in private, or I, or other mods that are on, will chase you with our warn sticks!!!



Members of staff are also eligible for nominations from Global Mod and down, so don’t leave them out just because they’re staff! I’m wanting ALL members of the community to communicate with each other, not just users. So expect to see us around, and don’t be shy!

Alright this is all I can think to say right now. If you have ANY questions then please ask! Enjoy, have fun, make friends, and win prizes! <333

May Egg Event!


How to get an egg from this eventIMPORTANT EVENT NOTES
  1. No, you do NOT have to be online at the time I am sending out eggs.
  2. These eggs do NOT show up in the Lab for the event. They are sent out randomly.
  3. There is ONE set shiny for each Pokémon, but every other egg has a regular chance of being shiny.
  4. If you obtain ONE of the eggs from this event, you will NOT be able to obtain another one from this same event. This means if you get an egg on day 1 of this event, you can't get an event egg from any other day during this event. By the way, abandoning an event egg does nothing. So if you get one you might as well keep it and be happy.
  5. If we find any accounts being made just to get eggs from the event then they will be immediately banned along with your main.
  6. If you were a winner of the raffle, your chosen Pokémon will be spawned into your party on the day of the event. It won't be forced shiny, but there's always a small chance just like any other egg! This will not count as an event egg and you can still receive one from the event.
  7. There is no guarantee that you'll receive an egg. There have been about 3k users online daily and there are only 1,750 eggs going out, so that at least gives you a little more than a 50% chance at getting something.
  8. I will be aiming for 4 p.m. server time to start the event, but keep in mind that there is no set time of day these show up. I have to be online in order to run the script.
Event dates and what's being handed out

Yo yo yo what is UPPPPPPP my homies.

I can't wait to see beautiful little Diancies added to people's parties. I like that we're bringing this system back.

I also like how I don't have anything particular to do this weekend so I can spend more time on here. If I'm not mentally dead. Working a 9-5 job is taxing on my body for some reason.

Woohoo! New month, new exploration, so much new! I'm so excited! <3

And my Sylveon got rank 1! Eeee, good start to this month~

Posted by: Sportsfan666 Apr 30 2015, 10:59 PM

Let's see if we can break 300 pages this time. :P

Posted by: MaliceIncorporated Apr 30 2015, 10:59 PM

It's May it's May! Good luck on the explorations and shiny hunts this month, everyone! I'm intrigued about these egg giveaways. Unfortunately for this first weekend I'll only have access on my phone due to moving, so I hope I don't get party locked. I'll have to start explorations on Monday.

Posted by: Vibrancy Apr 30 2015, 11:00 PM

Ah, awesome! I'm so excited for everything new that's happening! I'm glad to see egg handouts back too... it was frustrating originally since you couldn't get legendaries on your own, but since we have the explorations and all that now, I think it's fun to revisit~

Oh well. I kind of want to concentrate on a couple of plates anyway so I'm not drowning in a pile of (functionally) useless shards. Let's... try to space out the shinies this time, RNGesus.

Posted by: Esc Apr 30 2015, 11:01 PM

Hi guys happy.gif! Just finished finals and now done my second year of university. Couldn't be happier grin.gif

EDIT: Quick question. So we just have to be active throughout May to win? No interaction requirements or anything like that?

Posted by: Hiraelle Apr 30 2015, 11:02 PM

Got rank 2, but I wasn't aiming for rank 1 as I have the Pixie plate.

The "return" of the old system of events is interesting, I'll be sure to keep a spot open in my party on the 4th, 5th and 7th (at least I'll try not to forget). I had bad luck with this system in the past though, I don't really expect to get something.

Is another of the May surprises a new set of achievements, I wonder ?

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L Apr 30 2015, 11:03 PM

Birthday Countdown - 22 days remain.
It has begun.

So, wait. We just have an open slot in our parties during those days and we might get an egg? Ooooh. grin.gif

As always, you guys are doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work. happy.gif

Posted by: Sportsfan666 Apr 30 2015, 11:06 PM

Just a heads up to you guys ~ the backroom is full of rare evolution items right now. Nearly 70 altogether...

Posted by: Gryphaena Apr 30 2015, 11:08 PM

Wow, it's the return of Egg giveaways! I am very curious for the " I'ts a mystery eggs".

I'll try to keep a spot open for one.

Posted by: Kieren Walker Apr 30 2015, 11:08 PM

Oh man, an egg event? I'm so excited. May sounds like an awesome month already, what with my birthday and graduation coming up.

Same :C

Haha I was so confused about why there wasn't a scavenger hunt task today, then it became midnight and my computer rolled over and I was like, "oh"

So the egg handouts start on the 3rd? Because I just realized my party was full and I was like "oops" hehe~

So, for Steam, I'm pretty sure you can find me if you search for "142 Mexican Whooping Llamas," which is my current display name.

If you'd like my 3DS friend code, PM me. I've been playing a lot of Omega Ruby lately!

Posted by: Phoenicis Apr 30 2015, 11:09 PM

Sylveon got rank 1 (so 12 prize points + pixie shard), and got 80 prize points from the scavenger hunt, so that puts me well on my way to my next legend voucher. On top of that, Darkrai and Regi Trio explorations this month means I'm very happy. (I still need 2 of the Regi Trio and I was hoping for the Darkrai exploration to show up this month anyway, since I knew probably none of the other trios would.)

Off to a great start!

Posted by: Teen Heat Apr 30 2015, 11:09 PM

I'm irrationally happy that I was the first to embark on Synx's new exploration. Like, I shouldn't be that happy about it. But new explorations are always exciting ^^

And whooooooa feels like 09-10 all over again.

Posted by: Terezi Pyrope Apr 30 2015, 11:09 PM

I didn't even place, but whatever, I got that job grin.gif

Its a simple cashier experience, but that's pretty necessary especially since I have little cash handling experience.

I start on monday, and best of all, I can walk.

Posted by: Teen Heat Apr 30 2015, 11:10 PM

I also completed the scavenger hunt and got the 12 prize points + Pixie Shard, so I have 446 prize points now and, like, 3 Legend Vouchers.

I have no idea what to do with them.

pls help

Oh, by the way....

Happy birthday to me.

Posted by: Velocity Apr 30 2015, 11:12 PM

Excited to see the event giveaways back! I can still remember doing back in 2009. Good luck to everyone!

I got rank 2 this week in the Poke hunt and I completed 16/16 tasks in the scavenger hunt. So I accumulated a nice amount of prize points.

I'm looking forward to seeing these new egg events! We just have to be active and have a slot open that day? Just want to make sure that I am reading that right.

I'm excited! We have our Gamer Symphony Orchestra concert Saturday evening! So close!

Also excited to try the new exploration and see all the other fun things coming this May.

I hope to be more active in this thread this month, and hope I can actually get in on some of the 3DS and Wii U gaming. I missed out on the fun last month.

Posted by: Jade Apr 30 2015, 11:14 PM

I got a pixie shard which makes me happy! Now I've got six shards in total but no full plates yet. Trying to work towards the meadow plate at this point.

So, I'm assuming the winner on the assumed dates will definitely be getting the egg on that event day, if I understand correctly?

Also, super excited for an egg event! Fills me with nostalgia and reminds me of the time I accidentally party locked myself SECONDS before the site went down for the event so long ago. I think I missed an Deoxys egg or something xD;

Posted by: Sladin5Ever Apr 30 2015, 11:14 PM

I have a question about the nominee thing. I still don't quite get if you have to nominate someone in order to participate in these monthly threads or if its for a different purpose? (I'm sorry I'm asking here)

Posted by: Synx Itax Apr 30 2015, 11:18 PM

I'm just sitting here giggling maniacally at the people racing to finish my new exploration.

Just... don't get too excited, folks.

Posted by: Natasha Romanoff Apr 30 2015, 11:20 PM

Oh man, I can't believe it is May already. Less than two weeks until I graduate! I'm scared more than anything. I'm not ready to graduate and enter into the real world, lol.

These egg events bring back so much nostalgia for those early days of GPX+. I remember getting a Regirock back in the day (and later threw it in the exchange and got a Darkrai in return). Hopefully I'll remember to keep a slot in my party open, haha.

I'm gonna be a bit busy in the next couple of days but hopefully I can pop in every now and then and chat with you all!

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Apr 30 2015, 11:25 PM

Oh, those '09-era events. I had the worst luck with those. There were a few where I got no eggs at all. I already got three of them so I can't wait to find out what the other two are.

I also got rank 1 along with the Pixie Shard and 80 more Prize Points because of the Scavenger Hunt. I kinda splurged on legend vouchers last month, but it was totally worth it.

I think I'll let someone else get Diancie since I already have one, but I can't wait to try for the other events~

It's really nice to have a big sense of community like this again. It's been awesome to chat with everybody! Thanks, mods, for working so hard for us all!

This exactly. It's been years since I last felt this sense of excitement over GPX, and a huge part of that is how much work you're all putting into it, as well as threads like these.

Also @ Synx, it's interesting how the current status syncs up with the story (specifically Task 4) so well. I doubt it was intentional, but... cool.

I never knew the sense of community from before but I am enjoying it now! And I am definitely enjoying all of the new stuff.

Is anyone happy that Avengers comes out today in the US?

Also, yeah, I like how task 4 lined up right now, though wish I could continue. It is refreshing to see something new from an exploration.

The community feels like it's been reawakened. Back during last summer I was sometimes the only person online at some points!

Really? It comes out today? I really want to see that one.

Haven't actually started the explo. Don't think I will for a while, though since I already have a bunch of Dracowymsy.

Oh no, you don't have to nominate anyone to participate in this thread or anything like that! Basically the idea behind nominating a user is to give them a name in the raffle that Jen does by the end of the month that allows users to win prizes. That's why we have an egg event this month.

I think that's how there are winners for the egg events. Those winners won based upon the nominations people made last month.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Apr 30 2015, 11:44 PM

You're an evil exploration writer, Synx. I was kinda expecting a big feeding task but I like the new twist for these new ones honestly. It's better than getting the same types of tasks over and over again.

Posted by: Catilena1890 Apr 30 2015, 11:46 PM

Um, okay I'm pretty new to this community thread thing, but I do absolutely love chatting with people on sites I'm apart of. I can't get into the IRC very well because my browsers don't seem to like it, so I am glad that this thread exists! As long as we can do general chatting and stuff. So, here goes nothing.

I made a delicious dinner tonight. I made a stroganoff-type sauce that goes excellently over a bed of rice or some veggies or some pasta that you haven't seasoned. Anyone want the recipe?

Placed rank 1 in the Pokéhunt with Sylveon, and Regi exploration is back? Good day all around. grin.gif

Can't wait to see what the "It is a mystery~" egg is, though. Fully hoping that it's Hoopa.

I'm excited for the egg event. I always enjoyed the last ones. I'm pretty sure I got at least one egg from the old ones. Thanks for bringing them back.

Your Pokémon earned a Pixie Shard by placing in rank 1 of this week's Pokémon Hunt!

Coming in late to the new party already but life at home is going to be biiiiiizzzzzzeeeee for a while. Just glad I was able to check in on my Poke Hunt. My Togekiss did great! It hatched with levels at 159 and I fed it some drinks just to be sure. So glad, too. My first Pixie Shard! Yay! Given that I haven't had any luck with a new shiny... I appreciate this hopeful option for obtaining the shards.

Got to go tuck a kid in bed though and get there myself. It's late. But tomorrow! I should be able to finish the explore I am on and then check out what is going on in May. Sa-weet!

On a side note, if this question does get seen.. am I to take it that exploration Pokemon that are not berry specific should no longer be posted in this thread as well? I've been guilty of those in the past as well and it looks like we're cleaning up to only have specific berries. I just want to be sure so I don't abuse it from this point forward. blush.gif

Really? Guess it was when I didn't really have internet. I try to be online all of if not just a majority of the time.

I know, me too! I can't wait. Almost went tonight but no one wanted to go with me and it just isn't as fun by yourself.

I don't need another wymsy, especially as I had a shiny one, but I can never resist new explorations.

.....it is going to be so hard to resist not just straight filling my party.

Posted by: RicFule Apr 30 2015, 11:57 PM

Well, it seems like I need to finally finish this Arceus exploration, so that I can start the DW one. Still have a handful of interactions to do on Task 12. Don't actually need the monthly Specials, though. Already done them all at least once, and have my {mostly} living Dex. Only missing Arceus and the Kalos legends. And some Mega forms, but those will take a bit to get.

Welcome ^^


Also, for those of you talking Sroganoff, I had a weird question. I love Stroganoff, but when I make it at home, it comes out waaaay to sour cream tasting and I am a super not fan of sour cream xD. Has anyone tried omitting the sour cream? Or is there a better way to mix it in so the rest of the flavors overtake it? Because most recipes I have found call for it to be added last and I wonder if that's the issue.

And while we are talking food, for anyone who loves sweet things, I implore you to try chocolate covered gummi bears. Super easy to make, if a bit messy! and realllly good.

Oh my! Just found the explore we're all "on about". Definitely looking forward to finishing this one explore up tomorrow so that I can check it out. I like not seeing a Vs. Seeker as a requirement. Yes. I'm totally liking not seeing that requirement. I can't wait to see what its reward is too. Guess I'll have to do that before doing one of the other monthly explores. It's that whole curiosity thing. Meow. *smirk*

I can't figure out the exploration "we're all on about". Can someone help?





Also, what exactly is Stroganoff? Sounds interesting.

Posted by: Silberchen May 1 2015, 12:06 AM

Hey, a second Pixie Shard! Neat!

I wanted to start the new exploration right away, but then I remembered I'm still on a Ripple in Time - my Pidgeotto has a 5-win streak now.

Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 12:06 AM

@Synx, KatTheBard, Dr Hawkins and everyone else: Alrighty then! Like I said this goes well over anything that doesn't mind depending on the sauce for flavor. I myself made some rice with vegetables and diced beef for this and it turned out GREAT.

There you go, I hope you enjoy it as much as my dad and I did!

The recipe I use calls for heavy cream instead, so maybe try that. Alternatively, you could reduce the amount of sour cream you add.

ninjedit: madchat- stroganoff is a wonderful concoction involving, among other things, cream, beef, mushrooms, and some type of rice or noodle (it's better with noodles IMHO). And the new exploration is under Novelty and Rare Pokemon.

Also thanks for the recipe catilena!! cat.gif

To kick this off, we're releasing a new normal exploration called "The Vespertine Thief" for the ever-elusive Dracowymsy egg!


Oh. My. Poke Eggs!!

*head implodes*

Yeah, that might be messy, but oh my gosh! I've dreamed of explorations like this for those older Pokemon eggs. If I had known... oh my! I am so super excited about this explore now. Thank you, dear explore creator, for making this. A clean DW. Within my grasp. As soon as I finish this one explore.

*mumbles to self* should really stay up all night until I'm done with this current explore. sleep. it's highly overrated anyway. right?

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L May 1 2015, 12:13 AM

I must say, I like the thumbnail of the new explo.

what even is stroganoff

I'm considering just leaving my party open for the next two days just to make sure I don't forget, lol

Posted by: Daneh May 1 2015, 12:14 AM

Everyone talking about Stroganoff. @.@
My tummy is rumbling now.

Next time I make it, i'll be trying Catilena1890's recipe for sure though.


Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 12:16 AM

You are very welcome! I love experimenting in the kitchen and when I hit on a really good recipe, it's wonderful to share it. ^^ Enjoy it you guys!

On a sidenote, am I allowed to link my fanfics in my signature even though they are offsite? They're both on Fanfiction.net and I'm not sure if it's okay for me to link them here. '_'


EDIT: BTW you can call me Cat or Kitty if you want. ^^

Did you read the May thread? It tells what the prize is, if you are making a reference to the exploration I think you are.

And also? My Pokiis need to hurry up and hatch. Before I get ANOTHER one. LOL

EDIT - And I see that you have. Oh well.

@Cat - That wasn't a hiccup, that was the nightly backup thing. It happens every night at the same time. ^-^

Avatar change GOOOO!

Oh, I thought that was taken care of during reset XD

So, I'm working on the new explo, writing a fanfic, and listening to pokemon music. What are you guys up to?

Posted by: Icicle May 1 2015, 01:08 AM

Got to see Avengers. Soooo goooooooood *___________*.

And man, a blast from the freaking past. I had so so luck with the old events so here's hoping, probably gotta just train myself to keep a spot open until eggs are done being handed out so I can maximize my chances. Sadly Sunday I'll be out all day... so of course it's the thing I want the most (if my theories are correct about the mysteries that is).

Also ugggggggh, 12 prize points away from a legend voucher ;o;/

Posted by: KatTheBard May 1 2015, 01:26 AM

Yeah, it seems to be bugged. It's not letting me move on either, and I kept my party at 5 on purpose.

Posted by: Dunking Darius May 1 2015, 01:30 AM

Can confirm, I too can't progress past task 4 despite having the task technically complete.

Edit: Nevermind, it worked now.

Changed May 6th's egg from Dracowymsy to Zergoose.

QUOTE(Jade @ Apr 30 2015, 11:14 PM) *
So, I'm assuming the winner on the assumed dates will definitely be getting the egg on that event day, if I understand correctly?

Yep! It's going to be placed directly into their party, so it's not going to count against them and they can still receive something from the event.

Edit: Oh I think I read this wrong. Yes, on the date that their chosen pokemon is sent out.

QUOTE(Jade @ Apr 30 2015, 11:43 PM) *
Oh no, you don't have to nominate anyone to participate in this thread or anything like that! Basically the idea behind nominating a user is to give them a name in the raffle that Jen does by the end of the month that allows users to win prizes. That's why we have an egg event this month.

I think that's how there are winners for the egg events. Those winners won based upon the nominations people made last month.

Yes, exactly! (:

Sladin5Ever, you don't have to send nominations for anyone, but it would be nice if you would and they would appreciate it! (Though no one is going to know who sent what or how many times they were entered.)

Basically, all you have to do is be active in this thread and you'll be automatically entered into the raffle anyway. I gave everyone who chatted in here frequently 5 entries into the drawing at max. Otherwise, there'd be so many names to enter, and I think I will still have to manually input everyone's names multiple times. @.@ lol

I did the May raffle the old fashion way with a pen, tons of small pieces of paper, and a bowl. Nick felt sorry for me about half way through and made a script for me to use next time. :'D

Hi Cat! (:

Go ahead. I used to write on that site... wow, ten years ago now. It was '04/'05 I'm pretty sure. I used to write Yu Yu Hakusho things, but my account got deleted since I did it in a script format. LOL People really liked it though, especially because it was PG friendly or something like that. hah!

Anyway, yeah, I know FF.net is a safe website! ^^

QUOTE(Mamanator @ Apr 30 2015, 11:55 PM) *
On a side note, if this question does get seen.. am I to take it that exploration Pokemon that are not berry specific should no longer be posted in this thread as well? I've been guilty of those in the past as well and it looks like we're cleaning up to only have specific berries. I just want to be sure so I don't abuse it from this point forward. blush.gif

I've already answered Mama's question in PM, but just so everyone else is aware, it's totally cool. (:

I'm going to give a heads up in this thread before I run it just to make sure you guys have enough time to get your parties situated. If I'm going to be late, I'll be sure to let everyone know ahead of time, too!

Sorry for the issues, WoS! It should work within ten or so minutes. The problem has been fixed, but it might be cached for you.

Wow five pages already? Haha, instead of finishing up packing I decided to play a How To Train Your Dragon MMORPG that I found. The censors on the chat on it are ridiculously strong though. I got in trouble for trying to say "meeting of the nadders" because 'meeting' is a banned word. Also I got in trouble for trying to say "my dragons happiness is going down really fast" because 'going down' is a banned phrase. Like holy censors batman.

That's funny. Is "meeting" a bad word somewhere? I'm trying to figure out how that's bad. O:

On the Love Live game that I play, I can't use the word "green" for some reason. No idea on why that word is so bad either. noes.gif

Edit: Oh gosh I completely forgot. I wanted to say congratulations to you on the job, Terezi Pyrope! Grats! ^^

Alert
Your Pokémon earned a Pixie Shard by placing in rank 1 of this week's Pokémon Hunt!

Aww yeaaaaaaaah pixie shard number 2,
So glad I entered that shiny now!

Can't wait for the returns. I'll have a read later when I'm not on mobile. Quite excited for the return of the egg handouts, love more mysteries! I wonder what these eggs will be oh.gif (also yay Rihanna reference). Dunno if I want to try for Diancie or the other mystery or not..

I knew that we'd become one right awaaaaay~

But damn 5 pages already? I'm just getting up now, before walking home to head to college after I pack my bag. Maths all afternoon then work this evening boo. Learned I'm working bank holiday Monday evening too so that's going to be Hell and back.

Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 01:56 AM

Ahaha what? I can almost see "going down" being considered lewd but even my dirty mind can't make sense of "Meeting" being bad. Maybe it's in the context of keeping kiddies from meeting predators? I dunno.

I saw a naughty commercial play on Boomerang during Pokemon. At almost 4 in the afternoon. When kids would surly be watching.

Wut.

War flashbacks. *shudders*. I also wasn't allowed to refer to my dragon as a baby. Can't use the word baby! I was lamenting on missing how cute the "child" appearance of my Deadly Nadder was, compared to his adult phase. Baby is a banned word. I've never been more thankful for the lack of censors here!

Yeah! I didn't put it on my phone because my phone is such a piece of crap, I can hardly play Five Nights at Freddy's on it. But I downloaded the game itself for my computer, instead of running it in a browser. It crashed the first time, and occasionally freezes, but I was playing for about 2 hours straight earlier. There's lots of quests and it's fun to see all the dragons, but man... the chat. I just can't get over the censoring on it.

At least you're staying up willingly. I'm studying for finals and probably won't be sleeping tonight whether I want to or not.

Also feed this Pokemon please, you're feeding my procrastination along with a Pokemon, 2 for the price of 1.

Interesting, interesting. I kinda like this thread, but somehow the posts appear so fast that I can't read everything even though I'd like to, haha.

I'm a little bit in two minds about the events. On one side, I pretty much love it. On the other side, I don't know what to think about getting eggs for doing nothing (I know that it was similar to that in the past). Hm, guess I just love explos and stuff too much, haha.
350 per egg sounds like quite a lot. Does anybody know how many players are active these days? Sure would be interesting to know.
At any rate, thank you for this new event. Something new to look forward each month <3 I hope I'll be lucky at one point, haha. Good luck to everyone!

Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 02:51 AM

One more thing before I go to bed: I'll get to breeding bagon eggs to help supply the explo. I'm shiny-hunting dragon types anyway for draco shards.

Frickin' hell, six pages already? This is why I hate that evening server time is too late for me unless I pull an all-nighter sealed.gif On the other hand, Regigigigigigigas exploration is just /perfect/, and egg giveaways too? I'm so happy I have a long weekend this weekend *-* especially when I still need to finish DotW

Also, just noticed that there is a purple skin for the forums. Yes Please <3

I could never feel sorry for that guy.

I haven't heard anything about a part 4 yet though, the last thing I read about was that the hat disappeared on Scott's website. I still haven't beaten any of the games myself. I'm on the 3rd night in the third one, 3rd night in the second, and 4th night in the first. The games are too tense for me. lol

never mind studying

I don't really understand the egg event though - if you won from last month, but eggs are being given out to random people, is it just guaranteed that you get one? confused.gif

The part 4 was officially announced on... I think the 27th? of April. And Scott Cawthon's website has a nightmare fuel of a picture on it right now, with "The Final Chapter 10.31.15" on it, so the 4th game will be released on Halloween. I'm so excited!

I know this is completely off-topic, but am I the only one who has noticed Alex and Thomas's current party of six Pokemon all hit level 100 five days ago and they're still there in their party? Don't they usually box them once they're at 100 and then grab more from the Safari Zone?

Well my May is starting off brilliantly. I've been reading through this and my cornflakes are now soggy. Before that, my toast fell jam-side down on the floor and I left my watch at my kinda-sorta-friend-boyfriend-not sure what he equates to?-'s house this morning.. and he's not home until Monday. Typical dry.gif

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine May 1 2015, 03:20 AM

Continuing with the topic of fanfics, I tried my hand at some, but I always ended up never finishing them. I had a couple of Sailor Moon ones going on where they get new powers and looking back on what I read, I'm not that proud. I kinda messed with some of the canon and didn't really understand the effects of some of their attacks. I also had an original story but it was during a time where I thought I knew a lot about Japan and threw in random references to American movies (namely The Breakfast Club). I just want to put that in the back of my mind forever.

I have been creating this pretty long Pokemon fanfic but it's a bit different. The thing is that it's basically all in my head and I didn't write all of that much so far. It involves Pokemon escaping from a mad scientist who has been creating monstrous versions of them as revenge for people rejecting his research. So he goes to this mysterious Pokemon dimension, captures some of them in cages and extracts their DNA. One of them escapes to New York and befriends a high school-aged girl who is kind of calm and friendly. The Pokemon there would work a bit differently from the regular Pokemon games and anime and such. Then at one point of the story, she and the people she befriends are given powers based on different legendary Pokemon and become these magical girl/Power Ranger-style warriors (both boys and girls are involved) and aid their Pokemon in protecting the world against whoever is attacking it at the time. Some parts focus on the girl's relationship with an intelligent boy who's kind of a dork and loves the music of Billy Joel. It's all pretty random right now and I'm hoping to work on this soon because I have been thinking about this for YEARS.

Sorry the post is so long but I wanted to get that off my chest. Feel free to give me some pointers if you like. Also DW's pretty close to healing, so I needed something to do to pass the time.

And last but not least... yay, new Normal Exploration, but meh, I already have shiny Dracowymsy. Well, guess, I will do the Exploration to just have done it. but first... DARKRAI. °3°

Your egg hatched into Sh. Emolga!

Just rank 2. sad.gif Seriously, I thought 164 IV were enough. So you pretty much have to use a rare mon, eh?

I guess everyone's going to try for the mystery eggs? xD I just need to remember to keep my party full for the other eggs. Don't need a third Diancie. xD

350 per egg sounds like quite a lot. Does anybody know how many players are active these days? Sure would be interesting to know.

I don't know an exact number, but I was watching the "have been online today" list last month and the average was always ~3k.

#7 in the egg event post:
"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."

You can only get one egg per event. (So if you get a Diancie then you are unable to receive any of the others.) We didn't want anyone grinding their gears that someone got more eggs than them from it. wink.gif There is still a chance that you won't receive anything though, so there's still luck involved.

I don't understand this question, but I'll try to answer it! The winners of the drawing/raffle get to choose any novelty or legendary (barring Arceus) to be included in the monthly egg distribution. On the day of the distribution of the Pokémon that they chose arrives, there will be an egg of that Pokémon placed in their party by an admin, so they are guaranteed the Pokémon that they chose. They are also still eligible to win something from the script assuming lady luck is on their side.

Whaaaaat. I had no idea! I even follow the subreddit and everything. Maybe I was asleep or something. lol

The image looks really neat, I like the design, even if it's a little weird. I don't understand all the little Freddy heads popping out from random areas. Hopefully he'll give some better hints... or maybe a sudden trailer again. hah!

I can't even imagine what the game will be about. I thought everything ended up being tied up nicely. If anything, I'd like a game where we can control whichever animatronic we want to and try to get into the guard's office. lol

Edit: Argh, I type too slow!

Grats on the Zap Plate, Volmise! Have fun! :P

Finished both of my special explorations for the month already, and I've just started on the Wymsy exploration. And I'm playing the waiting game (and probably the "as soon as I go to bed, exactly what I need to happen will happen again" game).

Thanks. So I have to make a good choice what I want to go for. Hm, but if I join more rounds, I'll have more chances to get an egg. I see, so there is some kind of a tactic needed. Nice!

...this let's me think. Is it possible to create explos (or dungeons or whatever, in order to discern the difference) with decisions and the decisions leading to different story lines and ends? I guess that would be a huge work, but it sure would be awesome grin.gif

It's finally May!

And the egg event is bringing back so many memories from 2009... Everyone left an open slot and prayed for an egg. It was so exciting! And apparently that's how I got my Regigigas, because I've never embarked on "King of the Temple". I'm still undecided about doing that one or "Deep Desires", but I'm going for "The Hidden Ruins" for sure.

I still have to finish "Through The Looking Glass" though.

Now just hope for latter to be shiny. <3

Btw, are there any plans to release the Primal forms of Kyogre and Groudon? (And Mega Rayquaza. Like... an Exploration for the Items or something. Like the Reveal Glass-Exploration.)

I'm displaying 50 posts per page instead of the usual 20, and this thing is creeping up on 4 pages already? Geez people, so many posts to read.

I'm not too sure about what to think about the old event system other than nostalgia over possibly getting something from it for like the second time or something. At some point they would make activity score a factor in it, so I got one or two things from that as well. But hey, at least there will be attempts to get something I don't have yet, so that's always good.

Let's see. Nominations are for this thread and supposedly playing games. But what about the irc?

I did the same. But mine was based off of ANOTHER person's fanfic. The Generals all were brothers of one of the Scouts, Moon not included. Mine followed the life of the younger brother of the Neptune royal family, Amethite. {I broke with the theme of naming them after gemstones slightly, because I felt Amethite sounded better than Amethyst.} The asteroid belt was once a planet named Astroidia that my character, who joined the Dark Kingdom willingly because he was jealous of his older brother, shook apart using his powers in an attempt to keep the four outer Guardians away from the moon during the battle at the end of the Silver Millennium. {And this is the first time I realized that I should have named the planet Asteroidia. Oh well.}

Only annoying thing is the pokémon locked in your party during it.

Howdy hi hi and happy Feel Good Friday Everyone! While it is morning and I'm sitting semi upright at the office my mind is still fighting the desire to return to Z Land. So what to do what to do. Well, yeah. Work comes to mind... but so does finishing this current explore so I can try my hand at the new explore for the DW eggie. love.gif

Before I say much more I guess ... I want to thank those of you who nominated me. It was quite a surprise to see Jenn's PM the other day and left me with a happy feeling and a sense of belonging. Thanks for making me feel so welcome and special here ya'll.

I've also seen posts about fanfics over on that FanFiction.net website. My daughter got me into that and I have a couple (unfinished) fanfics going on over there. I won't link to them here though because (a) they aren't Pokemon related and (b) more importantly they aren't finished as life has side tracked me from getting back to them. I have written some fan fics in the past though. I wrote like 4 short story fan fics about Animal Crossing and 2 novellas for AC that (you guessed it) haven't been completed to date. Those last two are more in-depth though and sometimes I find myself thinking about them. I do have a Pokemon related fan fic I had begun a while back, too. I called it Zertheon. It kind of centered on this guy who lost everything, including his Pokemon partner, in a war. Now that he's all healed up he's off for revenge against the battler that killed his Pokemon, but he is afraid to take on a new partner because he doesn't want to be all emotionally attached to another one. But as he descends the mountaintop where he was convalescing he runs into a wild pack of Pokemon that destroyed a nest of new Pokemon, killing their mom. And, of course, there is one wild Pokemon left from the nest. That's where my story left off.

Well. I guess that's enough babble for now. Save to say I'm excited about the hopeful Egg Event. I remember when my girls and I first joined GPX I told them I never wanted them to have more than 5 Pokemon or eggs in their party. I didn't have any reason why... I just figured they couldn't take care of so many. lol.gif I didn't understand what GPX was all about back then. The 2nd day we were members I saw my youngest had a full party and a strange egg. I was so mad at her! She tried to convince me telling me that she didn't pick it up, that it just showed up. I checked my party. No such odd egg. I was really mad at her for lying to me.

blush.gif Who knew GPX ran Egg Events? I had no clue! Really! To see how far we've come since that 2nd day. I know it's all chance and I didn't always got an egg from these events... but I'm really hoping I can now. *crosses fingers*

Oh community thread thing I'm still not 100% sure about. weelll....

If anyone cares to play MC with me, my username is TheCosmicLuigi on there, if anyone has stuff like Borderlands 2, TF2, or Left 4 Dead 2, ring me up on my Steam, which is Liraxus.~ I also have Terraria too, which is an amazing game if you haven't played it yet.

Other than that, just got my first shiny Mega evolution and it feels good.

Also, I once again got both event eggs today, Manaphy and MissingNo. I really believe they aren't that rare anymore... recently, I'm getting them more often than ever before oh.gif

You won't, it will happen eventually, so fear not ^^

I saw that people talked about fanfictions. I read some.
The best pokémon fanfiction I know, and for me it's the best fanfiction I have ever read : https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7354757/1/The-Game-of-Champions. I haven't seen in mentioned in the thread, so if you don't know it already, give it a go.
It's rated M though, but as far as I remember, I don't remember anything overly shocking in it.

Posted by: Erwan May 1 2015, 10:12 AM

It's been maybe a month or two since I've seen the MissingNo... but as for Manaphy... I can't recall. That's how long its been for me. Once I get all explored out, too, I'm going to have to Lab Lurk for the Phione egg again. I know I can find Phione in the Shelter, but the special eggs I always like getting "clean" copies of.

*yawn* Good morning GPX. I'm surprised that there haven't been any more posts since I went to bed.

It's moving day! I'm so anxious I'm pretty sure this move is gonna kill me. And my poor cat is gonna be so stressed out. :c I guess since I'll be pretty inactive all weekend due to not having internet, I'll stick a couple of my shinies in my party instead of eggs to gain happiness/levels. Then I can guarantee I have a free spot on the odd chance I'm randomly selected for that first egg giveaway.

Congrats on moving! As for your kitty I suggest putting a favorite blanket/toy/something that smells familiar in the carrier with it. That'll help relax it, but be prepared to wash it when you get to the new place. cat.gif

The last time she was in her carrier was when she was 6 months old and I took her to get spayed. She's now a year and a half, and uh... well, she's a Maine Coon/Ragdoll cross, so she's a biiiiig girl. At 6 months she knew how to get out of her carrier, so.. I'll put her in there but it wont be very long before she drapes herself across my shoulders instead.

Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 10:54 AM

Ahaha smart kitty. My youngest is like that too but she has not figured out the carrier yet. I wouldn't put it past her to do it though. The older one doesn't care one way or the other XD

Furball (click to show)


Here's the giant furball, with my hand to show how big she is. She's already getting very distressed about everything going into boxes. And to make it worse, she's not allowed to play in the boxes! I'm such a mean dad.

Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 11:00 AM

You are a horrible cat daddy, denying her the pleasures of the boxes D8<

Yeah if mine can't get in boxes, then they just find something else to do like sit in the bathtub, knock over the computer chairs, get themselves tied up in plastic bags, etc.

Gah. I haven't moved since July 1, 1995. I shudder to think of what I'd have to do to prepare both physically and mentally. Good luck with your furball. I'm sure she'll enjoy the new place and all the exploration opportunities once you get settled. happy.gif

Wooooaaah I completely missed this stuff last month. It's awesome that the egg event is being brought back. I always felt so excited waiting for the distribution to occur, hoping I'd get one. I think my very first was a Regice.

Yes happy.gif That's why I'm using it. For some reason, everything is too bright on GPX+. I made a skin using the same colors as the Ice forum skin and that was still too much, even though it's perfect for the forum.

Aaah, gotcha. I've tried experimenting as well. I remember making one that I used for a while based off of Sh. Delcatty, but got bored of it so now I have one that reminds me of Turtwig (actually pretty reminiscent of the Leafeon skin, but toned down.)

@Catilena -- The pokewalker is hax and I love it.

It's not that I'm NOT sleepy when I have sneezing and runny nose issues, it's that....well, I'm sneezing and have a very runny nose. Can't exactly sleep through that XD.

Posted by: RicFule May 1 2015, 02:25 PM

I'm getting closer to completing this task. {Closer to being done than what I've already done, anyway.} I need my bothersome Party liver, so I can get my Arceus. So that I can go after DW and see if what I suspect Task Four is, is correct.

And also? I sort of caved today and bought a Nintendo Card to use in Pokemon Rumble World. But I should have bought two of them, because I didn't have enough cash to buy all of my 3,000 diamonds. Still need to buy 1K more. But with what I did buy, I bought out all of the available balloons, a handful of pokemon houses, and the available trees. I guess I could also go buy the clothes and stuff, but I'll probably wait on those.

My skin is Purple background, Green lettering on the tabs, and White lettering on the other things.

THAT'S....NO GOOD!

Pft, I've been shiny hunting eevee for like, 2 years now. Still nothing. *shakes fist*

Ohai i see the random monthly egg things from pre-exploration days are back.

Hopefully I'll get a Zergoozse egg, with the Wymsy eggs now having their own exploration, the rate of breeding, and subsequent lack of people I'm probably going to lose Office Wars.

Anyways...

Today's Shinecast: 100% chance of Nope.

*happy proud face inserted here* This makes me very happy to see someone else excited about the return of the Zergoose egg. I used to have a "clean" one but, when I returned from my hiatus, I let loose a score of Pokemon (all save for the shiny ones) and since then have regretted letting key ones go; like my Zergoose. Here's hoping you are one of the few then that get that one. *thumbs up*

PS: I share your Shine Cast. I'm not sure if we're doing a SWSH this month but if not... I have this ugly feeling that it'll be another 3 months before I get another shiny. *mope*

Actually it was 2012. I remember hatching lots of fire-type shinies for that event. I think I got 16 of them out of that.

Posted by: Catilena1890 May 1 2015, 03:07 PM

It seems to me like every time there's a SWSH, when the prize is awesome *such as the plates of the last hunt* I will always fail to find my shiny, but when the prize is.....not quite as spectacular *like the alpine kitties of the hunt before, don't get me wrong I like them fine, but they're breedable, and the plates want every major organ in my body*, I will ALWAYS get my shiny. Being a shiny hunter means suffering D|

I just hope the hunt this month has at least one Dragon-Type so I can stay consistant, but I wonder, are there any dragon types left unhunted? I can't think of any base-form, non-VR/N dragon type that we have yet to hunt.

I just pledged the amount necessary for a steam key, because I prefer to play on pc anyway, and I don't have much money.
They reached 535k out of 175k now already, it's crazy. Yay for co-op mode, next stretch goal is 665k for a multiplayer mode with unique games, they will probably get it within the next two or three hours xD

Drarceus has a little purple on it, but the main reason I want Draco Shards is because I already have one. Ghost will be my next goal because Ghosteus is puuuuuuuuuuuurple.

You guys will never guess what my favorite color is :P

Trust me, you dont want the Toxic Plate Exploration. im still stuck on task 2

Posted by: Silberchen May 1 2015, 03:30 PM

I finally got to task 4... and all I can say is UGGGGHHHHHHH.

My second Arceus is probably going to be fairy, it should be useful for battles. The dragon-type is neat and all, but I already have all the (non-legendary) dragon shinies.

Anybody ever play Crypt of the Necrodancer? I just got it last weekend - I'm pretty decent at rogue-likes but horrible at Rhythm games... so I'm very average at it but I'm still having a good time playing with custom songs.

Well we already have different outcomes for the trio explos depending on which item you chose, seems like it might be possible.

So I found another apartment and looked at it today. It's ok. Has hardwood floors instead of carpet but I can always buy a carpet. Counter space is sparce in the kitchen but there is room to move around in there. Also has radiators but have plenty of time to buy covers for them before winter. We are putting our applications in tonight and hopefully will hear about it before the end of the week. It's in the neighborhood I wanted and it's a great place for Azriel to grow up in. Peaceful, low crime and beautiful. Close to the city and I'm just happy. I really hope we get approved so we can get the ball rolling on moving.

Happy birthday Doom Hunter!

Well, the Explorations were what replaced the old event system so that and the SWSH are not really on conjunction with one another so I'd be sure that the SWSH will happen as usual. And honestly, if you never looked at this thread you wouldn't even know there was an egg giveaway this month, lol.

Oh. Yeah. I guess you're right! May is definitely going to be the start of something wonderful here on GPX I think. I'm so relieved to hear that the SWSH's aren't going away. I can only image the work that goes into setting them up so I'm happy to hear its still a go. Yay! *happy dances*

*gets hit by a bolt of stray thunder from the storm*

Ouch. I think I'll keep my happy dancing for when its more clearly seen. tongue.gif

And yes, you're right. By this thread there hasn't been much talk about the Egg Event. A few scattered remarks. I wonder... perhaps there is more on the other May thread? While I'm doing nothing but ducking foul weather perhaps I should go check it out. wink.gif

^ This. In response to the earlier comment "Writers away". Once I get our house in order and cleaned... and my duties on the home front open up because I've done them all... maybe I'll see which one of my unfinished projects I should pick up. Zertheon?

Holy cow that about gave me a heart attack. The exploration can be a pain in the butt enough as is!

I think the blackest arceus is the dark type one, which kinda sounds like a given.
Funny note -- I thought everyone had received a dread plate upon completing the SWSH because what sounds more proper than a dread plate to go with an exploration called Death of the World? I was a bit puzzled when people started getting fairy arceus and the like.


I wish my ditto hunt would be over already. I'm getting tired of looking at that little smiley face of putty. That's what I get for being gone so long and missing out on all of those shinies in between xp

Oh, I remember when I used to do writing journals on here. They were just silly little things but they kept me going through some rough times at school. My love of writing has changed to love of acting now though, so I don't have any stories going.

I am happy to see the return of egg handouts. I remember being lucky and getting an event egg back in 2009 from egg handouts.

My Sylveon got rank 1 (Pokehunts so far have been my only way of getting shards due to being unlucky in my current shiny hunts) and I completed all tasks of the scavenger hunt so I got 92 prize points (80+12) from these two.

I need both Regirock and Registeel from May special explorations though I don't think that is it possible to do the same special exploration twice in the same month. So if I can't do the same special exploration twice in the same month then I plan to do the mirror exploration and then do the Wysmy exploration and donate the novelty reward.

Well, they are also completely different projects, not a massive canon. A fantasy adventure, written more like a mythology than a novel; a zombie novel with a twist I've yet to see; a story about vigilantes, which could turn into a webcomic depending on how the artist turns out; and a collection of, not quite the genre but call it psychological/survival horror stories. That last one I'd like to turn into a video game but I have very limited coding experience atm.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine May 1 2015, 07:23 PM

A writing group? Count me in. That might actually inspire me to start writing that story I mentioned a while back. I actually posted a draft of it on here a long time ago but I want to change so much of it, like the character names and how some other things are handled.

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L May 1 2015, 07:30 PM

My daycare pair have been reeeeally generous recently. I have a feeling that after I say this they're not gonna make any novelty eggs for a long while.

On the subject of writing, I've tried to write some fanfics but I never could really get into it. I've written three, Shadowed Judgement(which can be found on my old FF account, if you want to find it[it's not finished, though]), Not So Small(which was just a little thing and is on here), and a continuation of an RP I was in on here last summer.

Well, mine usually take place in the same world {ish.} Old Earth, which is where we live, was blown up back in 1988, iirc. So, the 17 all take place near there, as does Payback, technically. Even if one of the 17 takes place in an alternate time line in which Earth was saved.

The original Payback was an approximately 80-page school assignment about a dictator who I never gave a real name to. He was just called The Enemy in the story. He did periodically use pseudonyms, however. It's complete, so not included in my list of works-in-progress. Anyway! I'm getting sidetracked here. The Payback prequels each chronicle how at least one of the characters end up in the main story. And all of the prequels to date tie into each other. For example, one of the girls, Paige, was framed by her "best friend" for shoplifting/distributing rebel paraphernalia so she was jailed for three years before her brother was able to break her out. He died in the attempt but she was able to escape.

After she got over the city walls, she met up with a second character, Randi, who had approached the city to question her boyfriend as to why he killed her parents and twin sister, and left her for dead. However, Randi, while on the way to the city, was driving wildly and ran a car off the road, wrecking it. The driver of that car was Erif, who had gone to the city outskirts to get a map to a Rebellion that was forming against the Enemy's reign since his sister, who worked for the Enemy, had just killed his girlfriend.

Once the car was wrecked, Erif got out and started to hitchhike in the direction the map told him to. Paige, who had by this time found the car her brother drove to the city, ended up passing Erif on the road, but they were heading in opposite directions. Etc, and so on, and so forth.

Yes. It's elaborate. Yes. It's meant to be. LOL By the time I'm finished, IF I'm ever finished, all the stories will tie into the Enemy's Story and The Gemstrike's Story. All the others will only touch base where they need to. And, fyi, The Gemstrike's Story is about the originators of the Rebellion Erif was looking to join.

EDIT - Didn't have enough spaces between the paragraphs.

Can you guys come up with some kookie coffee names for a coffee shop in the pokemon world? Chapter 3 takes place in a coffee shop and while the characters are talking the barista is gonna be shouting coffee names in the background for comic effect.

The only one I can think of is Moxie Mocha, as in, the ability Moxie.

Latte-as or Latte-os grin.gif

Those made me giggle. They're perfect. xD

o.O Hello, random Missingo. You'll hatch before the 3rd right? So that I can have space in my party and not worry about booting out Sabrina or Nail? Right? Yeah of course you will.

Hnnng I must not have had enough coffee today, it's barely 9 o'clock and I'm already sleepy.

Kerbal Space Program looks like such a fun game, I want it so badly. Hnnnnggg

Click click clicking away. So I can get through DotW again so I can start chipping away at Insatiably Curious before the Exploration numbers climb up any higher. And if this thread is any indication I am going to cry at the Dracowymsy one... and then I have to sob at TBD. Ahhhhhh.

In other news I'll be getting DK64 tomorrow (well, as soon as my credit card payment clears/the bills are paid). HYPE.

I'm regretting not doing this exploration before the special explorations, since I could've probably been done with it by now.

We haven't done Druddigon yet? I coulda swore we did.

And crud, well, I guess Ghost or Poison would be a good alternative. I just want a purple Arceus XD


Trust me, you dont want the Toxic Plate Exploration. im still stuck on task 2



WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!

WHAT?!?!?!?11one

The tasks are different for each plate?


........Well Played, Synx. Well played.


oh crap , well thanks for the warning XD I feel like the fairy plate explo will be a doosey

nvm read too fast, but that is a good idea o_o evil but good

Holy cow that about gave me a heart attack. The exploration can be a pain in the butt enough as is!

I think the blackest arceus is the dark type one, which kinda sounds like a given.
Funny note -- I thought everyone had received a dread plate upon completing the SWSH because what sounds more proper than a dread plate to go with an exploration called Death of the World? I was a bit puzzled when people started getting fairy arceus and the like.


I wish my ditto hunt would be over already. I'm getting tired of looking at that little smiley face of putty. That's what I get for being gone so long and missing out on all of those shinies in between xp


Wait, each plate ISNT a different exploration? i figured they would be. i also like the Walking Dead feel of the exploration

So, one of my friends found a black widow in her mailbox, so I decided to look it up. I go to Google, I type "Black Widow". I get Scarlet Johanson.

Gat dangit internet.
