A quick TL;DR for the ones who don't want to read everything: Just pick one theme you'd like us to try and promote for the next Site Wide Shiny Hunt (SWSH), and we'll try our best to make it a reality!
And, when the time comes, consider voting for the theme that won so we can, collectively, make it a reality! Scroll a little down to the "About next month's options" to read more about the reasoning behind the options for this pre-voting stage! And, also, don't forget to check out the "Rules" part just to be in the safe side and not make an oopsie!


Before we begin, check this thread too! It's linked to a thread where I'm asking for some signatures so we can have a 4-mon SWSH involving the Deerlings! Nothing is set in stone, but we can do our best, so go there and read the thread too (or at least the TL;DR at the top) so you know how to help!
Anyway, without further ado:

Hi everyone! Roo over here! Thanks to the huge success in the last SWSH, here we are again! But a small introduction for those who are new here:
Are you tired of the SWSH being, most of the times, the last three Pokemon that have been added to the site? Are you tired of feeling as if your favorite generation doesn't get enough love, or is swept by the most recent ones? Do you wish you could have a hand in influencing the Pokemon we are going to hunt?
Look no further, you are in the RIGHT place.

For those who don't know me: I'm usually one of the organizers for past SWSH themes we've had! Particularly, I helped with Moth Month (March 2021), Lovecraft Lovers (July 2021) and the last one, Fungus Frenzy (September 2021) and now, once again, I want YOU to decide which theme you'd like to see in the next SWSH!



"Ok, sounds nice, but what do I have to do again?"

The plan is quite simple: every non-SWSH month I'm gonna post a thread just like this with 3 themes, and you just have to choose the one you like the most! Then, the next month (the SWSH one) you'll see posters or info graphics inviting people to vote for the theme that had the most votes. PLEASE, consider voting for it and help out the other people who are already excited for a certain theme!

You can also look at it this way: if they get their theme quickly, it means we can get to the one you'd like faster than if you didn't help them! Mutual help! \o/



But wait that's not all! You can also help in other ways!

Personally, I encourage people to express themselves and ask for what they'd like. So, if you have a theme you'd like to see come true, please, go ahead and comment in this thread with it!
If you can, please tell me the reasoning behind them (if there's any: for example "Pidgey, Fearow, Farfetch'd, because I like Kanto AND, more importantly, BIRBS") so I can try to think of ways to make them more appealing! Be that with a brand new story like I did with Lovecraft Lovers, OR by bothering Gajeel Redfox into using thematic images related to what you wanted!

So, think of one theme and post it if you want! Be sure to check this link, and make sure that the Pokemon you want haven't been hunted before!

Currently we have 48 different themes, but you can always propose more! grin.gif



About this month's options

So next month we are going to be closer to a lot of interesting events, both in real life and in the Pokemon... Life? Hah~.
Anyway, since it's a really important month, I ended up choosing specific themes. I PROMISE YOU THIS IS NOT THAT I WILL USUALLY DO, it's just that there's a lot of things that are going on that I thought some of you would like to have those options available, so I'm giving y'all that!

Anyway, the reason behind this month's options are:

- Sparkling Gems: Piplup, Bonsly, Croagunk. Proposed by A LOT of you who wanted a Sinnoh-only SWSH due to the upcoming release of the remakes of those games, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

- Thanksgiving: Munchlax, Farfetch'd and Swirlix. Name not final, BUT proposed by Shadow Darkrai. To celebrate said holiday! Munchlax because they are hungry Pokemon, Farfetch'd due to the Novelty that we have here in gpx, and Swirlix for the sweet food you might eat on that day!

- XMAS: Delibird, Stantler, Rolycoly. Again, name not final. This one was proposed by Professor Eucalyptus, this theme is meant to start the Christmas spirit early (as we all should. Have you seen those big stores that are already selling things for that holiday when we haven't got Halloween yet? Amazing). Delibird? Santa! Stantler? Rudolf! And Rolycoly? Well, it's coal for a reason... Have you been a good person this year?

So, which one will you choose and would like for us to promote? Be sure to vote in the poll!

I also can't stress this enough, but: Your participation is important, both in this pre-voting stage and in the actual voting stage! So, please, consider participating!



IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

This project is, by NO MEANS, replacing the official SWSH nor officially associated with it. This is just a COMMUNITY project that focuses on trying to organize future SWSHs to give them an extra flavor.
As such, I CANNOT and WILL NOT promise that the winning theme of this stage will be the official SWSH next month, but you can BET we'll do our best to make that come true! That's why your cooperation in voting for the winning theme is also encouraged!


And that's all. Now I'll just leave the official rules just to be in the same page.



RULES

- Do NOT harass people into voting for what you want. Encouraging people is okay tho', so choose your words wisely.
Helpful examples! (Maybe) (click to show)


- Regular forum rules apply! So don't double post, or don't ask for clicks every time your party's full again!

- Don't post your shinies here. Rather post them over here, since more people would be able to see them! ;D

- You wanna rage about something? We actually have a place where to vent any negative feeling you might have, so click on that link so you can go there and release some tension!

- Try not to use swear words! This is a feels-good space, y'all!

- Memes are PERFECT in here, BUT do remember that they can stretch the page, so if they are big or a lot of them, remember to spoiler them so it doesn't get too bad!

- Try not to make BIG quote pyramids! Why? Because of page stretching, of course!

- We love to talk around here, so if you wanna comment something, feel free to do so and evade SUPER short posts if possible.

Please warm my eggs!



Sparkling Gems sounds great!

The ancient carving told the tale of The Dragon Gate,

a mystical door high in the mountains (in the top of a great waterfall)

with the power to summon a mighty creature... Ruler of the waters and the rains.


Magikarp's heart leapt when it saw this! The legend said that the path was treacherous...

but if the portal was reached, even a tiny Koi fish could call upon the Dragon's magic.

eg



theme suggestion: Mystery Creature of the Ruins-based SWSH.

One of the most well-known explorations due to its relative ease and the number of times you need to do it to get all the Unown.

for Pokemon, the following:
- Wooper: you may be tempted to feed it Rawst Berries
- Poliwag: the reliable companion
- Torchic: the mysterious and dangerous...?

Always thought it would be fun to have a SWSH based around another core facet of GPX

I received spam in pm with a link to a topic. Whatever it is, I am against these methods.

This is an attempt by a member of the community to work towards common goals; it's hardly "spam". Regardless, the PM you received should have included that if you no longer wish to receive those messages, you can opt-out by replying to the PM. That goes for anyone else who may not want to participate as well (which is fine!).

That aside, my favorite of the three is the Xmas themed one!
