I didn't get a shiny for the SWSH, but just bought 3 vouchers for the 3 Alola Starters! I hatched 3 shinies and was in the top 20 of most hatched but only received 1 starter voucher ' -------------------- and the sun also shines upon the wicked. |

QUESTION Also, has it been explained, if we vye for the eggs on the 24th and 25th... if we get one on the 24th, are we still eligible for the one on the 25th also? That would be so cool if so, but I'm not sure. I'm quite curious about the answer to this too, but to be honest I'm guessing it's either wait and see or hopefully a yes I hadn't realised Alola starters had been released and accidentally refreshed over a Rowlett egg in the shelter before doing a double take T_T The sprites are really cute though. Hope everyone's enjoying Sun and Moon so far! Whilst I'm here, would appreciate any berries this way. I only have to do it one more time after this one but this Dedenne's been hanging around for twice as long as usual... Edit: and just as I say that, I swiped one. Thanks for breeding Gigadyne One more to go!

The trials were a great new addition, I'm just disappointed that three of them are just battles without adding anything else while we have a Fairy type captain with a lot of trial potential that gets to do exactly nothing. Minor SuMo spoilers (click to show ) I think they bit off slightly more than they could chew with all the Trial Captains, and then realized that with all of the time they put into the plot, they couldn't fit in the rest of the trials without dragging out the game. But honestly, I'm not even mad. Because the plot for this game was awesome. Also in unrelated news, gosh the sprites for the new Pokémon are so good. Coming back to GPX+ has been so good for my pixel art-loving heart. I hope I find some in the Shelter soon. -------------------- |

Oh I didn't realize cloakless Burmy was the new one. I saw one bouncing around in the safari really early this morning and picked it up. I figured it was one of those forms that I never got around to putting into my pokedex. hehe.
For the first time I decided to actually spend prize points on vouchers since I usually wait for the pokemon to appear in the shelter. Hatched each one and I think it's safe to say that I would've picked Rowlet as my starter. He's so round and adorable! (Have to admit I didn't keep up with any Sun/Moon stuff...) -------------------- |

Minor SuMo spoilers (click to show ) I know, but it's still just battling. She is a painter, we have a touchscreen, make an interesting trial out of that instead of another walk to pokemon->battle->walk to next pokemon thing. I do agree on the plot though. I think this is the first Pokemon game where I had an actual destination all the time, not just a random route that leads to a random city that has a gym or not. Also breeding Rowlet until the cat is level 100. This post has been edited by Manah: Dec 1 2016, 05:31 PM -------------------- |

I hatched 3 shinies and was in the top 20 of most hatched but only received 1 starter voucher ' It doesn't how matter how many shinies you hatch during the SWSHy, you always only get one voucher. You can obtain more by purchasing them with prize points. I brought 2 of them and, well, *smirk*, spent even more PP by buying 3 more. Eee gads!! I've still got a comfortable nest egg of prize points though so... all is good. *wistful sigh* I'd spend them all, though, for a chance at a shiny voucher allowing any novelty whatsoever. I know just the one I'd go for. -------------------- |

Yea i bought 2 more as well, just strange for someone who did not participate to get 3 :s *--So rereading this i was an idiot and thought they received 3, but no they bought 3 :p my bad -------------------- and the sun also shines upon the wicked. |

Yeah, I probably didn't make it quite clear. It's just so much wasted potential. Speaking of trials, what was everyone's favorite? Mine was the ghost trial. Great atmosphere (especially the last part), I just wish they hadn't made the locations so obvious. Looking for moving things myself would have been much more fun, but at least the rest of the trial was much better than the demo one, so it's ok. -------------------- |

I just released a bunch of hatched Rowlet. I guess a lot of people are breeding them cause they were the only eggs I found in the shelter all day. lol
I kept the one with the best IVs, but there were some good ones in the bunch -------------------- |

I got one of your Rowlet from the Shelter Shadow Fennekin, thanks for releasing them . The one I grabbed has 130 IVs so I'm happy with that.
I don't know what I did at work today but I'm having horrible back spasms. I nearly fell down the stairs when I came into the house. I currently have a heating pad on my back, hopefully when I wake up tomorrow they are gone. Worse case scenario I'll just stay home from work tomorrow and hope resting up will help. -------------------- |

I'm staying home from work today, my back is no better today than it was yesterday. I'm just going to spend the rest of the day in bed, if it doesn't get better tonight I'll go to the doctor.
I finally grabbed a Rowlet egg from the shelter so I'll get the egg data for it. I only need to get Popplio to have them all, but I'm still using the Alola Ticket to get a female Litten. So far I've hatched all boys and they are getting worse and worse IVs as they hatch XD. -------------------- |

I have so so so much work to get done within the next two weeks, and today is my day to get some headway on all of it. Yuck. SO I will be around for distraction's sake.
Also, did anyone see the Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay trailer they released? I need that game to come out as soon as possible. I may even call off of work for when it's released so that I can just dive in and not worry about it. -------------------- |

Eh, I might switch out my Deino for Litten and breed some for everyone. Might even start a double Shiny Hunt, especially since I canceled my Ground Burmy hunt and Deino eggs aren't that hard to find anyways. I'm also leaving my party open for Entei, since I already got all the other distribution Pokemon. I decided to start The Three Singing Chatot yesterday, and I might run through Summon the Hero again to get Zekrom.
Speaking of Shiny Hunts, after my Shiny Staryu hunt on Pokemon Moon, I might soft reset for a Shiny Type: Null since I'm close to completing my Alola PokeDex (and I got all the Legendaries and the Type: Null line in my Dex already since I traded down from Necrozma), and the Shiny Charm will really increase my chances with this one. Of course, this Type: Null hunt will be an on-and-off one, since I'll juggle between that and other hunts. -------------------- |

I just looked through my dex to see what I was missing, I going for Zekrom in the explorations and Ekralyp in the distribution. As for the second exploration, I might do Diancie or Meloetta in hopes of a shiny.
I just did a bit of my Christmas shopping to distract myself from all the work I have to do. Help. -------------------- |

I'm only doing the exploration so that I can have a Legendary for any potential Christmas event. {I THOUGHT I had one already, but if so, I'm not sure which one it was or if I still have it.} And as for the egg distribution, I don't care which one I get, if any, and as such I am not locking my Party on any of the days. -------------------- |

Sweet, I got the Entei egg . This was the one I wanted the most so I'm happy to have it. Now if only it was the shiny one, it would definitely make me feel better *wink*.
Ten Alola Tickets so far and not one female Litten. I'm actually losing hope for getting a female Litten. I only have one more after this that I planned to use for Popplio, but if the 10th doesn't hatch female I'll have to use it . I wanted a breeding pair so I didn't have to resort to using Ditto, but that'll be my next option if I don't get a female. I wasted all of my prize points for these vouchers so here's hoping female hatches next(or shiny, I won't complain if that happens instead). -------------------- |
