But not just any wrap, but a G R E E N wrap.

Malachites, we've done it.
We have D O N E it

This day marks our FIRST and ONLY year where we've managed to get a FULL YEAR IN GREEN, thank you very much!

We had been dormant for so, SOOO long. How long you ask? THREE FULL YEARS WITHOUT A SINGLE SWSH IN OUR BAGS, and yet we've managed to turn the table around and not only win one, but S I X, consecutively.

So heck yeah! We all deserve a big round of applause and a huge hug because we worked hard for this achievement, so CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! Without your help, we wouldn't have been here, so THANK YOU.

As always, expect a little something in a few days -wink wink nudge nudge-. Would have loved to gave it to y'all today, but it's been a little hectic over where I am so... I'm sorry, but it might need to wait a little bit :'D

In the meantime, tho', let us REJOICE and CELEBRATE this huge achievement!





And now to our Mods.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

SERIOUSLY.

I know I didn't have enough time to properly express my GRATITUDE for making Changing Seasons a reality, so here is yet again another small segment for me to talk about that.

Because, and this doesn't go only for the mods but for everyone who signed up (68 DIFFERENT signatures if I recall correctly, like WOAH), THIS SWSH is a clear example of where we can go when we all team up and try to reach for a common goal. YOU made it possible, YOU allowed this to happen, and the importance of that CANNOT be overstated!

Of course, we wouldn't have been able to get so far without our deer (heehee) mods, because they also HELPED US IN GETTING WHAT WE WANTED, so again, THANK YOU.

Now, let's keep on trying for more thematic SWSH, shall we?

Remember that if you ever want to suggest some, you can always send me a PM and I'll add it to the list!

ALSO don't forget that if you wish to have more than 3 or 4 choices, it might be better to transform that idea into an event of its own, which again, mods are allowing us to pitch in with our ideas! And if you don't remember, https://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=78999

So, again, THANK YOU ALL.





For a third message... HI EVERYONE WE ARE IN DECEMBER NOW!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I must admit, I am not much for Christmas especially, but December has always been a really important month for me, alongside November, so I just get this huge OOMPH of energy you know?

....

And sometimes I just hybernate through all December woops.

ANYWAY.
EVENTS!
YAY!
AND DREIDEL TOO?!?!?!

OH BOY IS THIS THE RESURGENCE OF THE PROPHET OF THE DREIDEL (AKA: Rookie going C R A Z Y over the Dreidel while roleplaying as if they are a prophet on Discord)?!?!?!
?!?!?!?!
Answer to that is maybe because real life is also a thing... BUT BESIDES THAT I SMELL A YES IN THE FUTURE. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

PREPARE YOURSELF GPX CHANNEL FROM DISCORD, BECAUSE ROOKIE IS COMING YOUR WAY (this is when you imagine that gif with elmo surrounded by fire)

ANYWAY!
Hope everyone has a NICE December! And if you ever need to talk to anyone, my inbox is always open!
Whether it is for christmas spirit or for selfish reasons or just because it's another month, let's ALL celebrate this time! <3

Terrakion... this time will be the best yet, I can feel it.

I hope everyone has the opportunity to share this winter holiday season with family, friends both new and old.

Regards,

Oooh, very cool new Pokemon form added to the site! Definitely not a form I expected to be added. I'm a big fan of it.

All of the switch news lmfao

It's December, and that means while I have time to be on GPX, it will be after most of the events have occurred. Well, maybe I'll actually be able to get to some explorations this month OR I might finally actually finish Shining Pearl

I'm looking forward to a busy month. And completing my Pokedex on Shining Pearl so I can proceed to camp in front of legendaries and reset for hours.

Good luck to everyone in the event, scavenger hunt, and exchange this month!

"In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you can get a Jirachi if you have save data from Let's Go: Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee by talking to a NPC in Floraroma.

In Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you can get a Mew if you have save data from Sword or Shield"

It's actually the other way around

We.....we did it? Holy cow! Congrats, fellow Malachites! This is amazing! Congrats to everyone who hatched a shiny during the contest, too!

Gonna have to decide what I want to throw into the exchange this year. I usually did shiny legendaries to try and get shiny Articuno, but I got one of those this year so I need to figure out what to go after next.
