February Community Thread!

The January Community thread has been moved here.

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 shiny thread 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 thread for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like.
  
  

  
  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!

[RicFule]

Good, good. I needed a second Diancie anyway. Well, the Mega Stone will eventually be released, dontchaknow, and I needed a second Diancie for my living 'Dex.

And yes, it looks like Pokii and Valentacool are the mystery eggs.

@ Esc: I think Synx said in the other new thread that she did?

EDIT - Okay, she said she did in THIS thread. And then repeated it later. I knew it was mentioned in one of them. LOL

What is "Monthly Raffle"? Is that something like legendary drops which happened long long time ago in galaxy far away? And we can choose whicn pokemon it should be? E.g. Magikarp?

[eevee64]

You guys heard about the new legendary distribution each month for the rest of the year, right? Which pokemon are you most looking forward to? For me it's mew (obviously) and arceus.

I can't find any information about these distributions happening in Australia...I hope we don't miss out

[Volmise]

Yay new month! Also super excited that I managed to get picked for the raffle. Was beginning to think the only way to get rolled on was to be super talkative or spammy.

Anyways I was boring and went for Latios. Though I'm sure whoever manages a shiny off that day is gonna be super excited no matter what!

I hope you don't, either. This event is going to be so convenient for those of us missing living dex entries.

As for me, I plan on getting all of them, but I'm most excited for Mew for some reason. I guess it's because I never had it legitimately. Otherwise, I'm very happy to get legit versions of whatever I don't have. In fact, out of the list of what's being released, I think I only have Shaymin and Genesect. Maybe one or two others, though I don't remember.

Somewhat. The 2nd post says about an egg distribution. So if you win this month's monthly raffle, you get to choose the distribution pokemon. "Raffle tickets" are your post which has a ratio as Jen mentioned in her first post. And well, I highly doubt anyone would choose Magikarp for the distribution.

Yes. And no. While the winners CAN choose what pokemon is given out, it has to be a Legendary or Novelty pokemon, so no Magikarp, AND not have been chosen in the past three months. So, let's say you actually get chosen at the end of February, you would not be able to choose either of this months mystery pokemon or the three Legendary pokemon mentioned in the second post of this thread.

And also? Has everyone spotted the 7th Anniversary thread yet?

[Running On Ice]

I'm trying to decide between Darkrai or Virizion, probably the latter because I did Darkrai last time it was distributed.

As for the monthly explorations, I'll be doing the Reshiram/Zekrom one and Finding Your Muse. The other two I remember doing just a few months back, so I'll give my more neglected ones a go at it.

And I notice the event right after I filled up my party. I'm restarting my mass Scatterbug hunt. I don't remember how many I still need to get all the shiny Vivillon.

Happy February!

[Vande]

The SWSH and Wulfs winning it just took me to 666 prize points

Good luck this month everyone! I haven't been around much recently. But hoping that things will be better this month.

I wish Deoxys was part of the distribution. At least Mew is there!

I think that Deoxys isn't there because it's obtainable in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, but yeah, that would be nice for those who never got ORAS or didn't get that far in it.

And also? Has everyone spotted the 7th Anniversary thread yet?

Oh thanks, didn't even check it out.

So that means more Scratch Cards? Yay! Assuming the coins criterion for points are same, I'd need 300 for all the scratch cards right? Oh god why this month? I'm not gonna get anything good out of this event. Also, I've no Red, Pink or White shiny hunts active, so that's gonna be a bit painful.

EDIT: Ok, I just checked Mareep is white, so that solves the problem.

But, don't forget. Completing SH tasks nets you 20 per task, so ...

And since when does February have 31 days? If you go to the prize shop, the SWSH Voucher says it's going to be on sale until the 31st of February. Oops?

Yup, if they are levelling to 70+ levels, I doubt I'd be able to hatch the eggs and level them in time. I am not getting a complete hunt this time, at least. And I doubt there will be a long Scavenger Hunt this time around. Well, I will try though.

Challenge accepted.

And the Feb 31st was fixed. Now it says Feb 29th.

Well I finished Summon the Hero in 41 minutes and 8 seconds, my best yet. I'm going to cross my fingers that my new Zekrom egg hatches shiny, but that won't happen . I've only ever hatched one shiny Legendary on the site so it would be nice to actually get an Exploration Pokemon to hatch shiny.

Guess I'm going to be starting some Red, White and Pink shiny hunts. If the top prize is a Sh. Legend Voucher like it was in December I want it .

[Synx Itax]

Looks like I may have hatched the very first Lunar Larvitar on the site. Not entirely sure, but it looks like that's possibly the case anyway.

Edit: But I guess that's fitting. Too bad it wasn't shiny. >_>

Congrats! I am surprised Lunar Larvitar is Rock/Fairy. I was expecting Rock/Steel.

[Running On Ice]

I finished Summoning the Hero pretty quickly as well and chose Reshiram this time. I haven't done it in a while so I forgot which one I picked last time. Now I'm doing Meloetta, as I said. I got a couple of coins thanks to me finding a couple spare Cleffa from the SWSH. Speaking of which, I didn't pay a lot of attention at the scoreboard this time around, and I hatched four overall.


Plus, could you please feed Drilbur here a Pecha berry?

[Nostalgic River ...]

Well i flunked Swsh again sadly, But that wont stop me from trying again next time.
Welcome to the month of February everyone hope your month is either full of love or full of ice cream *ice cream for me lol *

My sister is starting a reptile buisness with snakes and geckos so she has rats and mice to feed to her snakes. Went to pet one and the little sh*t bit me hurt alot too. Flicked on the nose and im never petting it again it can just sit in the corner and be jealous of the NICE rats. just hoping that it was a clean rat i really dont want my thumb to fall off i need it for drawing and writing.

and again... HAPPY FEBRUARY the month of and
