December Egg Distribution! How to get an egg from this event
This will be the last egg distribution for the foreseeable future. The community threads will continue, but they will no longer be monthly, nor will there be an incentive to participate in them. -------------------- |

New month! Wow, I can’t believe it’s the end of the year already. Where did 2017 go? It seems like time just passes faster and faster. December is far from my favorite month. It’s a stressful time. Too many expectations and setup. I know, I have very little holiday spirit. Christmas is lovely, but it’s not worth the month of panic that precedes it.
Still trying to find that Feebas in Emerald. :P Took a break, though, so it hasn’t been a solid ten hours of Route 119. And yikes, I had a Type: Null I wanted to hatch for the PokeHunt. It was at 99% at the reset. So close. ...The egg distributions are ending? That's... actually really depressing to me. I always enjoyed them at the start of every month. Is there a reason behind this? (I mean, I'm sure there is, but I'm curious as to why.) -------------------- |

Congrats to everyone that finished their hunts! I know november can be a busy month for everyone.
It saddens me to see that the egg distributions are going away but I can understand not having the time to keep up with it all the time! -------------------- |

December already, where has the time gone? I'm so not ready for Christmas, I have so many things to buy.
Wow, the distributions are ending? Well I better hope I get something this month to end with a bang. -------------------- |

Might go for Cobalion...or Tapu Koko, IDK. Still November for a few more hours where I live, though I'm happy that I can now open all those Trinket boxes I've been hoarding for the past month. Really want some holiday goodies.

A learning vessel of several lessons to make me more clever. Group: +Donors Posts: 1 503 Joined: 15-May 09 From: Seattle area Member No.: 23 405 My Loves |
December is usually not too crazy for me; I only shop for a couple of people and don't do anything super intense when it comes to decorating. Just a couple of trees and stuff around the house. We don't bother with outside lights.
I'm gonna try for a shiny Cobalion for the egg giveaway. Figured I'd ask for something a little different in this raffle. My guess regarding the stopping of the giveaways and monthly threads is the activity level, but I don't know for sure. -------------------- Check my GPXPlus journal to see what I contributed to the site!

The older I get, the less I seem to care for things.... Group: Members Posts: 2 154 Joined: 13-June 09 From: Alola Member No.: 33 779 The Chosen Ones |
Meloetta? Neat
Guess I know when I'll be keeping a spot open Unfortunate that the monthly part has to end but everyone's getting older so I guess that's just part of life. I'm going to miss that though. -------------------- |

Congrats to everyone who won! I can't wait to use this voucher ~
Definitely getting in on the Tapu exploration, I need my Fini something fierce. As for distribution 'mons, I'll try for Articuno or Meloetta if I remember to leave a spot open. Hope everyone has a non-stressful holiday season c: -------------------- |

My guess regarding the stopping of the giveaways and monthly threads is the activity level, but I don't know for sure. I'd also wager that might be the reason; if it was a different site I'd theorize that it was being taken away because some didn't want people completing their Pokedexes too quickly. I've run into some bad staff before, but you all are quite responsible. -------------------- |

The sad thing regarding activity level is that this will only lower activity levels further. :/ Ah well.

I'm really sad to hear the Egg Distribution is ending, that's one of the things that keeps me active (and they're like the only way I manage to get legendaries, I'm so fail at summons...)
Guess I'd better make sure to leave a party spot open <3 And it looks like I'll just be coming back every odd month for the SWSH, cause I can't keep up with scavenger hunts to save my life -------------------- |

Egg distributions were definitely one of those things that were always magical, going back to my early memories of the site. You'd be clicking whoever and then think, "Where did people get these cool eggs?"
SWSHs are definitely enjoyable, but I always like catching the new threads each month too (obviously). -------------------- |

Okay, somebody please remind me to stop taking on shiny hunts. I'm burning through all my Shelter Grabs within the first few hours after reset now, and my hunt Eggs rarely appear in the Lab.
In other news, good thing I still have a few Prize Points in stock...love me some gold and white shinies. -------------------- |

Another new month on GPX Plus, always a fun time! I hope everyone's enjoying the season!
The new Egg Distribution choices look good, gonna go for Articuno or Tapu Koko since I have the other three. Though it makes me sad to see it go, it was always something I looked forward to. Speaking of Koko, I just got back from seeing the movie Coco and I thought it was phenomenal. Great writing, a touching story, and colorful, immersive visuals!

I just noticed what the prize was for the SWSH and I'm so glad I managed to finish my shiny hunt. I can't wait for the voucher to be available to use, but knowing me I'll forget until a few days down the road XD.
Started the Tapu exploration, I was saving up my Prize Points so I could buy another Legend Voucher for the two Tapu's I needed. Now I don't have to worry about spending all of those prize points. I'm going to finish the exploration and pick either Tapu Lele or Tapu Fini. Whatever one I do not choose I'll use the Legend Voucher to choose the other. I've had this in my inventory for months, so at least I can use it now. Tapu Koko needs some help, please give it some Pecha Berries: -------------------- |

Congrats to everyone who hatched a shiny! Couldn't pull it off this month. Looking forward to seeing what comes from the voucher!
I'm sorry that the egg distribution is going away, but I understand. I'm going to try for Tapu first, and if I don't get it gonna try for an Articuno (and hopefully get lucky with a shiny to finish that hunt!). I'm excited that there are two options from this group that I could use! Does anyone know if another pokemon exchange is happening this year? (Throw in a pokemon, receive another pokemon of the same class.) I lost track of things last year and missed out, so I'm hoping to join in this year if it's going on again. -------------------- |
