As the current owner has left, control of the group has passed to Jaysus. A new thread will be made for the group. - Wraenna

I'm sure you will all be wondering what this group is about, and I will run through that momentarily. First I'd like to thank the Admins for the Affinity idea and introducing the SWSH competition. I dare say that without it, this group wouldn't exist now. No doubt you will see the other two Affinities popping up with their own groups, raising the banner for their own Affinity, so we should try to raise ours higher.


We are a group who aim to be the best, our affinity will be something the other Affinities will fear, but respect.
We shall support our own with every competition we compete in.
We will discuss, share and appreciate everybody's achievements, be it a new shiny, a clicking record or person goals, and continue to support each other to tackle all competition, and come out the victors.

I will however make a point here in saying, if your only intentions in this group are to post shinies, I would suggest doing so elsewhere. There is already a group for that; see the http://forums.gtsplus.net/index.php?showtopic=63059, with the subject 'Malachite Mages'.

Would like to welcome to the group 'The Darkrai',

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 27 2012, 12:04 AM

ALRIGHT, I've been accepted! The name is The Darkrai, I have been here since the start of GPX+ (a little sooner actually) I am a moderately active GPX+member (Since I work full time and only have a tablet to use for the time being) but I look forward to making this affinity the best affinity!

Posted by: os2600 Jul 27 2012, 01:15 AM

Username: Os2600
Member Number: 115053
Link to Party: http://new.gpxplus.net/user/os2600
Have you unlocked required Achievements: Yes
Did you Read the Rules?: Yes (see below)

Posted by: Jaysus Jul 27 2012, 04:13 AM

os2600, Your application looks fine however could you please PM it to Moonlit, otherwise we can't accept it.

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 27 2012, 11:11 AM

I have come to welcome the first group of members who have applied while I was sleeping. These new members are: Obsidian Shadow, Slade Wilson, Sweetie Bloomaloo, and Dragonbreeze! I will also accept os2600, but all future applications must be sent to me by PM, in case any future applicant is reading through the thread.

As for Topic in here, how is everybody's SWSH going, as we Malachites have been in the lead for the past week?

And as a side note, I welcome anyone to create banners and stuff to include in our signatures to show our Malapride! Any pokemon will work, as long as it is green, whether shiny or not!

That's it for me at the moment, I hope this thread becomes filled with discussion and Malapride!

EDIT: Welcome Wraenna too!

Posted by: Wraenna Jul 27 2012, 11:44 AM

HELLO THERE MALAMAGES. <3 Anthony, if you want, I can make a sad, sorry attempt at banners later. ;)

Topic: I posted about it in the Knights thread already, BUT. I am still hunting for my first Malachite shiny. Roggenrola, to be exact. How many eggs have I hatched?

754 at time of writing. I'll update this periodically.

EDIT: YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST LUCK EVER.

http://gpxpl.us/OHSgK

Egg #759!

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 27 2012, 12:00 PM

I got my shiny in the hunt on my 2nd egg (three technically since i used hatch all) couldnt decide whether or not if startimg another hunt will matter at this point. So other than that perhaps after the SWSH is over and we get a few kore members we should begin to decide on a fewnthings, like Legendary and non legendary mascots, ranks andother things of that nature.

EDIT: Well I should have signed up again since I hatched a shiny bidoof first egg I obtained...

Posted by: Jaysus Jul 27 2012, 01:12 PM

Wow congrates Ryn, see i told you you'd get it soon didn't i? Sucks it took so many eggs though =/

@ Topic: I'd say my hunt was going really well, i have hatched 13 shinies for the SWSH, but i'm going to keep hatching anyway to see how many i can finish with and hopefully keep the margin of our lead larger, i am but one man though.

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Jul 27 2012, 01:25 PM

Thanks for accepting me Moonlit

Yay I hope we win the SSWH and try to be the leader for the next few days

@Topic Yay I only got one shine which that was my Braviary which took 549 eggs

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 27 2012, 01:36 PM

Well to curve my spite I will attempt a shiny roggenrola, good luck to everyone else.

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 27 2012, 02:28 PM

Everybody, Welcome to our two newest members: Darkrai Master and Garnet til Alexandros XVII!

@Wren- Go ahead and make some, I'm pretty sure all will be accepted
Also, us Malamages are magic, aren't we? Getting your shiny immediately after!

EDIT: Another new member, Nemu!

Posted by: Nemu Jul 27 2012, 03:20 PM

I just got my shiny rufflet IMMEDIATELY after being accepted. Not joking. In only 77 as opposed to my 737 for my first SWSH (Bidoof).

Thanks so much for letting me join.

Posted by: Dragonbreeze Jul 27 2012, 03:26 PM

Hello Malachite Mages!

@Topic: I'll use the malamagic for the SWSH- 181 roggenrola eggs with no shiny. But even without my contribution, I'm still psyched that Malachite has such a good chanc of winning. Malapride combined with malamagic equals malamastery! Good luck to the other SWSH contestants!

@TheDarkrai- Just a thought, we could have Celebi as a mascot. Its magical, green, and pretty awesome.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 27 2012, 03:45 PM

So I agree on Celebi for the legendary mascot but we need a non legendary mascot

Also i suggest a ranking system, for instance
Member<Magician<Wizard<Sage<Mage

Also for instance leveling up can ne like the trainer card in game. Like habing certain trinkets, shinies and achievements helpimg you level up, and depending on other things outside of gpx+ can factoe in as well.

Anyway these are just suggestions.

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 27 2012, 04:24 PM

And again, I'd like to welcome another new member to our group, Keruso!

Also, I'd like to point out that as this group is just starting, Jay and I are working to sort out the details and will continue to improve the group later as it becomes more active. As for the mascot/banner for the group, we are also currently working on that too.

For the ranking system, I personally would not like to add it now for two reasons: 1) This group is getting all of the Malachites together, not further separating them, and 2) As of right now there are so few members, that there's no point.
But that's not to say this wont be reintroduced in the future if the need arises.

@Nemu- Our magic worked again, grats on getting your SWSH poke!

EDIT: and Welcome Thenoah43 too!

Posted by: Keruso Jul 27 2012, 06:43 PM

may as well make my appearance. and to start with it, i hatched this:

http://gpxpl.us/GSeLK

random lab grab

this might be a great group!! we just need more people

Posted by: Slade Wilson Jul 27 2012, 06:48 PM

I am Slade Wilson, though normally I go by SladinForever. You can call me Sladin or Slade for short. So far I have hatched 4 shinies in 1122 eggs. I am rank 70/100 on Most Shinies Hatched according to the new SWSH page. I am trying for my 5th, that being Roggenrola. Rufflet took the longest and I got sick of the eggs after a while XD I got 2 Bidoofs--I actually have 3 total since I did a Bidoof hunt BEFORE the SWSH--1 Rufflet, and I hope I can get my 2nd Roggenrola before the hunt ends--which the last day is my birthday; turning 22-- This month so far is my record on hatching shinies, so that's pretty cool. I hope to get more before the month ends

Any guesses on what the bonus prize is? I really can't think of anything XD Maybe a voucher? That's what I'm really excited about this month, is the bonus prize

Posted by: Darkrai Master Jul 27 2012, 07:25 PM

Hello, fellow Malachite Mages! Keep up the great work in the SWSH contest! We can win this for sure! =D
I already got my Shiny Rufflet (now a Shiny Braviary ), so I'll spread my luck to all the Malachites. *spreads shiny luck*
I wonder what the bonus thingy is... Hmm...

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Jul 27 2012, 08:10 PM

Maybe the bonus is some more prize ponts or maybe if there is a new novelty that comes from a voucher and the winner gets 2 of it

Posted by: Nemu Jul 27 2012, 08:25 PM

Okay this is going to be really dumb but...

I hope it's a shiny voucher. -is shot-

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 27 2012, 08:50 PM

Hey guys!! Thenoah43 here and sorry to dissapoint you guys only 1 shiny in around 700 eggs..well im excited to see what the bonus is too!! Glad im apart if this!!

Posted by: Slade Wilson Jul 27 2012, 09:06 PM

*EDIT* Just checked my newest Roggenrola and Moonlit bred it. How cool is that? I'll take epic care of him :D

Just a few hours after I posted my Hello, I got my 2nd shiny Roggenrola and #5 shiny for the hunt. I am now rank 45/100 on Most Shinies Hatched. Doing Roggenrola for hopefully #6

And don't feel like you're disappointing us Thenoah43. We're just happy you got your shiny in time <3 That's what really matters

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 27 2012, 09:24 PM

Dont get me wrong guys! Im extremly glad i was too seeing that it was my fist shiny in a month but ill be tryin for the last few days for roggenrola.

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 27 2012, 09:28 PM

Well, I didnt even notice I bred another shiny, let alone when I looked just now I had bred THREE more.

But that'ss great that we've gotten another shiny for the SWSH! Keep going guys!

@Thenoah- I only have 2 shinies and I think I'm naring 800. It's all based on luck, and we all have it the most at different times!

@Nemu- I havent seen one of those for awhile! It'd obviously be pretty cool!

Keep up the hatching in here, and hopefully we'll get more shinies before the SWSH ends in three days and get the extra prize!

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 27 2012, 09:30 PM

Yes it is about luck and I know that last month i hatched 3 shiny magikarp in 2 days..wish i had that luck now

Posted by: Garnet til Alexandros XVII Jul 27 2012, 09:31 PM

Hello! Just joined!

Let's keep it up fellow Malachites! We can win this for sure

Posted by: Slade Wilson Jul 27 2012, 10:18 PM

And #6 plus another for Malachites
http://gpxpl.us/fZaLK
This was my fastest. Took me like an hour/an hour and a half to hatch from when I started the new one and only had to hatch 19 eggs. Now rank 24 for Most Shinies Hatched. I'm on a roll now. Gonna keep at it with Roggenrolas since I'm having the best luck with them *shares lots of luck with other players*

Posted by: Obsidian Shadow Jul 27 2012, 11:19 PM

I got two SWSH shinise so far. We are BEASTING btw. Malapride!

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 27 2012, 11:34 PM

Nice job on shinies you guys, keep hatching strong so we make sure we keep the lead!

As for other things pertaining to the group, I've taken it upon myself to make a banner for anyone's signature!


For anyone who would like the code for it now:

But this will be put in the Support Banner section in the third post so you can grab it later too!

Also, feel free to make your own or make one or more for the group to share!

Posted by: Velocity Jul 27 2012, 11:34 PM

Hi fellow Malachites! xD

I'm currently onto my 4th SWSH Pokemon - Roggenrola. I've hatched 604 eggs with no luck so far. Hoping to hatch it soon so I can move on to Rufflet. Glad to see we are leading the way but obviously anything could happen in the last few days of the competition. Besides that I cannot wait to find out what the prize is for the winning affinity.

Lastly, keep hatching those shinies! xD

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 28 2012, 12:17 AM

Everybody, welcome our new member and the affinity creator, Commander Wymsy.

LATE EDIT: And also welcome to Rhapsody!

LATE LATE EDIT: And also welcome Snowsky!

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 28 2012, 12:33 AM

I was wondering if Wymsy was going to join/ban/visit the thread. It's great to have you aboard, and we can now say we are the first group to have an affinity's creator in it!

Posted by: Nemu Jul 28 2012, 12:23 PM

Okay just wow.

My first SWSH was heck (737), but I've hunted 2 more (newest just hatched Roggenrola) and both being at the end of 70s in eggs hatched. Last SWSH I could only hatch one, and the second continued hunt ended up taking 991. o.0

This is epic.

EDIT: Wanted to apologize. After I hatched my shiny rufflet I had one extra egg though I went to a bidoof hunt. I couldn't release it, and having a general wave of no luck with non-hunt shinies (as in none) I hatched it and it was shiny...Woops. o.0

Posted by: Snowsky Jul 28 2012, 03:00 PM

Keep on hatching, everyone! Every shiny brings us closer to the prize! *waves green pom poms*

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 28 2012, 08:42 PM

So I'm going for my next shiny however I go through about 50+eggs, I realize my sign up doesnt go through ( no shinies thankfully) So lets hope since I signed up I get another shiny before close.

Posted by: Jaysus Jul 29 2012, 03:15 AM

I'd personally like to welcome the newer members, welcome, its nice to see the group shaping up so quickly, hopefully with our name getting out there more will join =]
Thought i'd give a little update as to the group logo which i'm currently working on, its in its digital lining process which is taking longer then anticipated since the picture was drawn unnaturally small compared to my usual drawings so the lines came out much thinner and therefore harder to reline however i should have it completed hopefully by the evening my time tonight. Its nothing ground breaking however it will help give the group a finished look and show our identity hopefully a little better.

Other updates, i have my 14th and 15th SWSH shiny now.

Posted by: Dragonbreeze Jul 29 2012, 07:18 AM

No luck with Roggenrola here, but the Malachites still can win the SWSH. With a mere two days left and a 30-40 shiny lead, we have a good chance of getting the prize. C'mon, Malachites! We can win this!

@Prize- It would be cool if the prize was a green Sableye novelty if we won. We could show our Malapride everywhere with a Sableye made out of it... But a shiny voucher would be pretty cool too, especially if it awarded shiny legends... (Even with the huge unlikely percentage that it won't be)

Posted by: Nemu Jul 29 2012, 10:07 AM

Good luck to everyone still trying. Also, don't feel bad. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you tried that is all anyone can ask.

So pumped. Can't wait to see what the prize is.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 29 2012, 01:34 PM

Coming to a close and up by 43..Excited for the prize I wonder what it will be??

Edit: Just added this guy for you guys http://gpxpl.us/xaihK

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Jul 29 2012, 02:32 PM

Hey guys, what's up?

And gratz on the shiny!

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 29 2012, 02:32 PM

And welcome our newest member, HarukaSuzume!

*will update in a bit*

EDIT: Jay has finished the banner for the group! everybody should see it!

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 29 2012, 04:46 PM

http://gpxpl.us/gbLhK One more today! oh and love the banner!

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 29 2012, 04:50 PM

Exellent banner, although I feel it needs a legendary, but thats just my opinion.

Also I was wondering if anyone still has a green voucher, I never used mine since I wanted to show it off later(like the slowpoke tails), so yeah anyone else still have theirs?

Posted by: Nemu Jul 29 2012, 04:53 PM

Wish me luck.

Trying for one more shiny. A bidoof for me to evolve. I really hope it's from my daycare, as it would have a bidofo and sh. bidoof parent.

Also I hope someone from this group gets a shiny from them.

Posted by: Darkrai Master Jul 29 2012, 04:55 PM

I love the banner!
We have a decent lead, and the SWSH ends on Tuesday. Hopefully we'll still be in the lead by then.

Posted by: Jaysus Jul 29 2012, 04:56 PM

Yeah i could have put a legendary in their but the problem was because of the size of the banner, drawing (since i start with hand drawing the banner first) on an a5 piece of paper and getting a whole legend in would probably restrict the space i had to play around with. I hate the fact the lines came out so bad though, yet the Zoroark i drew for Lau (wulfenite wulve leader) came out much better but was only the one pokemon.

I will probably make a new one later when i have more time, this was just a quick banner so we had one xD

What was the green voucher for?

As for the SWSH, no new shinies to report sadly though i have just recently hit 4000 hatched eggs, which was my target, probably keep going though. Good luck with the rest of your hunts and congrats to those who have found their shinies, you are doing our team justice. Those who have been unfortunate not to find a shiny however, don't feel down, just keep at it, i'm sure you'll find one soon =]

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 29 2012, 05:18 PM

Green voucher gave a random pokemon from a list of Wymsys favorite pokemon, they were given out on her birthday.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Jul 29 2012, 06:55 PM

I love the new banner!

And I've never heard of those vouchers before, they sound cool.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 29 2012, 07:07 PM

4000 eggs jaysus?? thats more then the total eggs i have hatched since i joined ._____. haha

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 29 2012, 07:24 PM

Welcome our newest member, Nikki101719!

Oh, I meant to add more to this. I remember the Green Vouchers. I'm pretty sure I redeemed mine for a Snover, which I actually just found in my PC box:
http://gpxpl.us/nqvZd
Of course, name based off of Wymsy.

But again, I'd like to mention that anyone could try to make a banner/userbar for anyone's signature, and I'll gladly put it in the third post!

Going into the final day of the SWSH, we can't let up! Anything could happen! But who else is excited for the prize? I've asked this already, but what does everybody think it will be? Extra prize points, small voucher, etc?

EDIT: Another new member, netobeto!

Posted by: Nikki101709 Jul 29 2012, 07:25 PM

Thanks for accepting me
The banner looks awesome shiny Espeon should have been in there XD. Go Malachites! I'm so nervous I won't find my shiny, but I'm glad most of you guys did

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 29 2012, 07:34 PM

You will get yours soon nikki! im still breeding them soo i hope you hatch one of mine!!

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 29 2012, 08:53 PM

And welcome another new member, Hostetter!

Also, I'd like to see some green in this thread... What green shinies does everybody have?

Posted by: Nikki101709 Jul 29 2012, 08:56 PM

These are my green beauties

http://gpxpl.us/kGfsa http://gpxpl.us/eTnca http://gpxpl.us/ZfaGa http://gpxpl.us/kOBET

And my favorite one http://gpxpl.us/qFwVg

That's all I have for now.

Posted by: netobeto Jul 29 2012, 09:01 PM

I got none yet.but i will start a dragonite hunt soon

Posted by: Hostetter Jul 29 2012, 09:06 PM

Well, I got Rufflet and Roggenrola...I was forced to start 1 week late, so I never started on Bidoof. I have very bad luck when it comes to shiny hunts. I don't think I would get it in time. :P




Thank you for the welcome.

Please excuse my colorblindness if any of these do not qualify as green.
http://gpxpl.us/rytWg http://gpxpl.us/kNbUa

Does anyone have any recommendations of 'green' shinnies that I should hunt?

Very cool Nikki101709, my favorites are Flygon and Muk

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 29 2012, 09:08 PM

So anyone up for a group wide shiny hunt? Since we all need/want green shinies we might as well make a game out of it.

Posted by: Nikki101709 Jul 29 2012, 09:09 PM

Thanks

Oh, you could hunt an Eevee and evolve it into a Jolteon

Posted by: Hostetter Jul 29 2012, 09:11 PM

I like the idea of that!

Posted by: netobeto Jul 29 2012, 09:11 PM

I like this idea, we should all agree on one specific ome

Posted by: Hostetter Jul 29 2012, 09:25 PM

Here's some that I can think of off the top of my head. I personally would vote for Bagon, Victoreebell or Nidoqueen, but still I'm easily pleased.

I would do any of those or dragonite too. But from that list i would like bagon or onix..

Posted by: Commander Wymsy Jul 29 2012, 09:42 PM

Well Shiny Snivy's more blue, but I personally count Shiny Trapinch as green.

Also hahaha.... green shinies....

We should make a list of about 10 pokemon people would be ok with hunting then have moon make a poll and we can go from there. My vote would be either Hydregon or Dragonite.

However we could figure out the Wulfenites and Azurites favorite shinies and rub it in XD.

Posted by: Rhapsody Jul 29 2012, 09:47 PM

Well, here we go... A couple of these are green normally, but I'm too lazy to figure out which link is which.

I'd be down with hunting a Masquerain, Hydreigon or Tropius. Cool Pokemon, even cooler shinies.

I can't be the only one who caught your swadloon with sunglasses...

Posted by: netobeto Jul 29 2012, 10:34 PM

My 10 pokemon would be
1. Dragonite
2. salamance
3. Hydregon
4. Onix
5. Kingler
6. Jolteon
7. Swellow
8. Beedrill
9. Muk
10. Mamoswine
i would do any of this lol

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 29 2012, 10:41 PM

Salamance, dragonite, and hydrogien would be the ones i want!!

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 30 2012, 01:35 AM

Hi Mages!

I was just reading through the past couple hours on here, and I'd like to implement a new rule. As I know that you guys have great ideas and enthusiasm for the group, and I cannot be omnipresent, I would like suggestions for the group and contests to be PM'd to me for thought and discussion.

As for leading the group, I am quite capable of being able to discuss with a select few the possibilities and running of contests for the group's enjoyment. I can also assign leadership roles as seen fit, and if someone feels the decision is unfair you can discuss with me about it. I will also make sure to have the group be busy with discussion about the site and what other things are happening for yourself in GPX (and even some RL), but I would just like to inform you of this change.

I've got a Shiny Serperior

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Jul 30 2012, 12:19 PM

So many new people, it makes me happy not to be the only one! I wish I had some green shinies to show off, but these are my fave non-shiny greens~

Posted by: Dragonbreeze Jul 30 2012, 02:19 PM

Green shinies... Only 1 here.

http://gpxpl.us/oeuaa

Sewaddle. I might get some more green shinies later, depends on what I hunt.
Welcome to all the new mages, and congrats to those with recent shinies.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 03:55 PM

Forgot to say my green shinies, I have a Shiny Surperior, and does a Raichu count? Because it gets this strange green tint but I guess thats a matyer of opinion.

@Moon When you get to reading this when you get back, I feel I should mention that having suggestions posted instead of being PMd to you does help filter some things from the thread, however it does also bring immediate discussion as well as the groups likes or dislikes about it, instead of only having you read it, takeingnthe time to make a poll and then winding up having a potential 4 or 5 people like the idea. Just remember we are all Malachite here this should be a level playing ground. Please also understand I am not calling you out, picking on you, calling you unfit to lead or anything of that sort. I'm just voicing my opinion.

Posted by: Commander Wymsy Jul 30 2012, 04:01 PM

No it's.... very much bright orange and tan/brown.

Also hah, I didn't even really count the shinies I had that normally have green in them. I also think I forgot regular green shiny as well but I can't be bothered to rummage through my things again.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 04:04 PM

I meant shiny Raichu, since I know its cheeks and tail turn a greenish color. I should jave been more specific.

Posted by: Commander Wymsy Jul 30 2012, 04:06 PM

I know. The cheeks, tail, and inside of the ears are more of a weird tan colour. Doesn't look green to me at all.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 04:41 PM

Well now that I zoomed in on it, it is more tan looking, the contrast from the orange threw me off a bit.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 30 2012, 05:53 PM

2 green shinies for me Huntin azurill right now soo mabey 3 soon

Posted by: Commander Wymsy Jul 30 2012, 06:39 PM

Wanted to do something fun and somewhat useful to take a break from packing up things, so I made a very thorough and comprehensive list of green shinies. It is split up into four parts. One are shinies that are mainly green, second ones that have a good amount of green, third are ones with a little green (I've pointed out where the green is on each one), and ambiguous shinies (these tend to be ones that teeter on the edge of a different colour and thus people call them different things).

If you've got any comments about the list, feel free to make them.

Hey guys, Sorry it took me ages to post I was asleep haha ^^
I'm Shelldude400
Green shinies?
Lets see..
A Serperior and Flygon for me
Funny, both were SWSH's xD
http://gpxpl.us/Fnnog
http://gpxpl.us/MjJYa
I like that list Wymsy, it's quite helpful x3
Hmm also mah Klingklang has some green too
http://gpxpl.us/GkqJg
And according to Wymsy's list, my Reuniclus has some too
http://gpxpl.us/ppKig
And my two Site Wide's I've managed to get
http://gpxpl.us/lobva
http://gpxpl.us/EDbOa
Still hunting that Bidoof >_>
Looks like we're gonna win the bonus too

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Jul 30 2012, 07:55 PM

Oh just looked at Wymsy's list and I have more greenish shinies
http://gpxpl.us/HBtFghttp://gpxpl.us/LPAkghttp://gpxpl.us/nSqNahttp://gpxpl.us/rqxhK

Wow it does look like we are going to win unless Wulfenite or Azurite each get 70 or more shinies then were okay

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 08:34 PM

Well according to the Wymsy List I have 2 Green Shinies. So I have a suggestion on winning but if Zerx or BB sees it were screwed so I wont say it.

In other news what green shinies do people have in-game?

Posted by: netobeto Jul 30 2012, 09:58 PM

Dont get mad if its a dumb question but how do we see how many shinies each team has??

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 10:21 PM

Well my shinyhunt isnt going well, also i missed a lab mew, im so sad right now. I clicked on the roggenrolla egg and i saw the description through the confirmed claim window...FML

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 30 2012, 10:27 PM

Neto..its on the new beta site..click on the swsh tab ad look on the left side..shows many many we have

Posted by: Jaysus Jul 30 2012, 10:31 PM

Oh wow the group suddenly got a burst of activity. Nice to see you posting in the group everyone and its good to see Wymsy getting in there with the posts especially the green shiny list, thanks for that. May be worth updating one of the first posts with a list of the green pokemon.

I think the reason Moonlit said he'd rather suggestions left alone for now was due to the fact we were in discussion about what contests we were going to potentially have and the work involved in keeping them up to date, its not abnormal in a group for just the leader to come up with the competitions and i don't think thats what Moonlit is actually suggesting, just for now, since we are still gathering members, we should try to keep discussions on present events like the SWSH for now, then i'm sure later suggestions can be and will be open.

As for green shinies, i'll go for ones that are strictly all or mostly green.

Bit of thought candy and discussion candy for you all: 'what is your take on the new NPC in the battle tower?'
I'm finding the children surprisingly difficult, i thought i could beat them with high IV pokemon and type advantages which in hindsight was stupid and as a result i was watching my 150+ iv pokemon get crushed in one or two moves. Might have to work on a speed group so i can get attacks in early. We certainly need a few easier NPCs though to entice some people into the tower again, those who struggle to battle.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 11:14 PM

Last day everyone, make it count!

Also anyone know what's up with the Mystery Packages in the back room? I'm unsure if its a glitch or of its there to see how many people will attempt to buy it even thoigh it says it is an invalid item because I really want it it's bugging me.

Also Jen stop stalking the thread and join us already, we all know you want to.

Posted by: Wraenna Jul 30 2012, 11:28 PM

There've been a number of threads about it in the Questions subforum and (probably) in the Bugs subforum. The Search function is your friend. ;)

Also, regarding the new NPC in the Battle Tower?

...

Let's not talk about that. It's too shameful for me to admit that I was beaten by a bunch of...well, myself at a younger age. I'm going to imagine it that way. It's 10yo me, laughing at me for thinking I know everything about battling.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 11:40 PM

Not on my ipod it isn't. I have a 2nd gen ipod and gpx+ and gts+ barely work. And when they do I have to jump through hoops to do anything. Only 3 more months till I can use a computer...

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 30 2012, 11:41 PM

Welcome our newest member, AmazingGrace1314!

As for the shinies, I will post mine in a second after I grab all of the codes and update one of the first posts with the green shiny list.

And the NPC is really easy for me. I personally don't know why it has so many wins.

@The Darkrai- I've been wondering the same thing about the mystery package on my ipod too, and it also seems I can't buy fossils on mobile site too. But both are acting normally on the main site. Maybe just a quick fix?

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 30 2012, 11:52 PM

Yeah on the mobile site it shows up as a package. But when I switch over the image doesnt load.

But if it is being removed can I get one anyway and add it to my mystery section in my inventory, my mystery letter needs a friend.

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 31 2012, 12:00 AM

Sure, most exploration items come up as mystery packages on the mobile site, and I think the SlowpokeTail is included in that section with the Letter too.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 31 2012, 12:05 AM

Something I can afford at this point, I spent everything getting 1 of everything. I don't even have 1 of everything it is really more of 1 of most things at this point.

Posted by: netobeto Jul 31 2012, 12:44 AM

Ok thanks. And what happens if our group wins??

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 31 2012, 01:00 AM

Nobody knows yet, although I was assuming more prize points than the other teams.

Posted by: Shelldude400 Jul 31 2012, 05:16 AM

Yay another Shiny for the Malachites
http://gpxpl.us/jMGHK
Well that's all 3 SWSH pokemon for me, that's a first haha ^^
It looks like we've definitely won the bonus ;D
Gl to anyone still hunting!

Why do they insist on having rubbish IVs though X.X

Posted by: Foresterra Jul 31 2012, 07:24 AM

I've got the feeling there are more malachites than any other affinity...

Posted by: Jaysus Jul 31 2012, 07:41 AM

What makes you say that? If its based on entrants thats based on people re-entering too xD

I just got another roggenrola but i will post the link later since i dont know how to do it from my phone lol

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Jul 31 2012, 08:00 PM

I kinda fail at shiny hunts, there's no way I'd be able to get one in time. (aside from that one I found in the shelter a few days ago...)

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 31 2012, 08:17 PM

Haruka you found a shiny in the shelter?

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Jul 31 2012, 08:24 PM

Yeah, it's the only way I've ever gotten a shiny so far, it's a Roggenrola~ (well, now he's a Boldore)

Posted by: Keruso Jul 31 2012, 08:54 PM

i saw that same shiny a few days ago, but didnt bother grabbing it. i kinda dont like having multiple shinies for some strange reason (whereas in my real games, i have 4 Patrats, 2Purrloins, Sandshrews, Geodudes (although i will be using everyone in the future) and im considering hunting up a 2nd Skarmory that i had lost. i have a ton o shinies)

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Jul 31 2012, 08:59 PM

Nice, the only shiny I have in my games is my event shiny eevee. And good luck if you decide to do that skarmory hunt!

Posted by: Thenoah43 Jul 31 2012, 09:33 PM

Wow your lucky haruka!! The only one i have seen/gotton is a shiny gulpin in the HUGE ban drop earlier this month!! Dot worry you will hatch one soon 😊 i got my first one on easter mabey you will get one on a special day too??

Posted by: Moonlit Jul 31 2012, 09:47 PM

Well, Malachites, I'm pretty sure we have this one down. Time to just wait until reset to see the extra prize, and it's also time for a new month! Here's to hoping for the Lake Trio exploration, but you never know.

Also, do you think anything special will happen this month for Big Bidoof and Zerxer's birthdays, if anything?

Posted by: Wraenna Jul 31 2012, 10:14 PM

We're going to dress them up in Bidoof and Zangoose costumes (respectively) and let them duke it out to see who is the very best like no one ever was. It's the only sensible thing to do.

Shiny report: Nothing major from the month. I finished ONE hunt for the SWSH and I'm still hatching eggs for my second. Bidoof has surpassed 600 eggs now. I reckon if I'd been more active, I would've done better. C'est la vie.

Posted by: Nemu Jul 31 2012, 10:20 PM

I hope so. I can't wait to see prizes and the special explorations. Too excited.

Posted by: Rhapsody Jul 31 2012, 10:34 PM

I ended up getting four shinies for Malachite. Now I'm just trying for another Rufflet because I can, but way to go, team! I can't wait to find out what the bonus is. Hopefully it's something good. Regardless, everyone did a good job, even if it was mostly luck.

Posted by: The Darkrai Jul 31 2012, 10:57 PM

Im pretty sure we won this, congrats to everyone and good job! So a shiny voucher for a ???, also it appears that I got 60 prize points instead of 50. So which is correct I dont know, but Yay bonus!

Posted by: Nemu Jul 31 2012, 11:07 PM

I think normally it's 45. Über sweet. Can't wait to hatch it.
Squeals like a 3 year old.

Edit: hatched it. It rocks!

Posted by: Shelldude400 Jul 31 2012, 11:16 PM

Moonlit got his wish, Lake Trio Explo!!!
I wonder what the novelty egg is
Can't wait to hatch it
Oh it's called

Interesting..
Still can't wait to hatch it >:D

Posted by: netobeto Aug 1 2012, 01:37 AM

Congrats everybody!!!! i cant wait for the next one lol..

Posted by: Darkrai Master Aug 1 2012, 08:08 AM

Go team! Well done everyone, 15 extra prize points is nice, and I like the sound of the new novelty. =D

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 1 2012, 08:24 AM

New novelty looks sick, especially in its last form. Now to breed it with my shiny roggens for more novelties =] The lake trio exploration has introduced a new step type, which is interesting, slightly frustrating but interesting none the less.

Congrats and well done to everyone who participated in the hunt, i hope you got everything you wanted with your prize points, i rinsed mine on a new pc box.

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 1 2012, 08:59 AM

Congratz for everyone who participated and I am going to use 40 of my prize ponts on palkia summoning items and maybe a couple heart sweets and a leftovers

Love the new novelty.Too bad we can't get other affinity forms

Posted by: Hostetter Aug 1 2012, 09:41 AM

Commander Wymsy, thank you VERY much for posting these green pokemon. When I finish my Houndour, Ponyta and Gulpin hunts, I will be focusing on a few of these for hunts.


Wow, I am not on the forums enough to read through all of the past 2 pages. LoL So sorry if I missed anything important.

Sweetie Bloomaloo, are they able to be bred? In such a case of them being bred, perhaps others will shiny hunt theirs and drop theirs in the shelter. (Unless they change as soon as you adopt them) I haven't hatched my egg yet, so I don't know much about them, but I'm glad it's a Roggenrola based pokemon.

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 1 2012, 11:01 AM

They are indeed able to breed, i have one in my daycare with a shiny roggenrola, who produced children last cycle. Even if you pick up the other affinities version it will automagically turn into a malachite one.

Posted by: Hostetter Aug 1 2012, 03:34 PM

That sucks. Oh well though. At least they breed, so people can shiny hunt that one. I wonder what they would look like shiny.

Posted by: Nemu Aug 1 2012, 04:16 PM

I'm wondering what kind of luck breeding them anyone else has had. I've had this pair and 1 novelty power. And they've bred 1 novelty egg. I had one with another while I waited for my 2 purchased voucher eggs to hatch.

Also, they are inseparable.

Is it just me, or do they hate breeding novelties more than most others? Is this normal, with it being new and all?

Thinking about releasing any more I breed/hatch for other people. Is this a good idea?

Anyway, I really love them. Green is #1 epic color (my son's favorite color and one of my 2 favorite colors). The other 2 look nice with their colors as well. But glad I have green for sure.

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 1 2012, 05:35 PM

Welcome our newest members, Foresterra and ShadowClaws!

Yes, I am happy with the Lake Trio exploration! Also, I predicted the extra prize points too

And now that there's been a Bidofo exploration released on Jeff's Birthday, maybe there will be a Zergoose one for Nick's?

I love the Roggen Novelty, and I really, REALLY, want a shiny one, but you'll never know what may happen!

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 1 2012, 06:59 PM

YES IM IN! I got 60 prize points cause I hatched ALL 3 shinies (15 points ea.) I also hatched all of them on the same day

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 1 2012, 07:00 PM

Currently hunting the new novelty..hope its not too long :/

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 1 2012, 07:02 PM

Whoa. Shiny hunting the new novelty already? I hardly even HATCHED it >.>

Posted by: Nemu Aug 1 2012, 07:03 PM

XD

Me too. I haven't had very good luck breeding (refer to my last post).

It probably will. Last I checked there were only like 60 people breeding it.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 1 2012, 07:06 PM

I have bred only 2 soo far!!

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 1 2012, 07:10 PM

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 1 2012, 07:13 PM

Sorry Shadow i ment just got this..my bad

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 1 2012, 07:13 PM

It was from a ban drop

Oh ya I am going for a shiny morharolla or whatever it's called but not in the shine recorder since I don't have any slots.I did finish my Roggenrola hunt today, late but okay.Took 570 for this guy

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 1 2012, 07:16 PM

No thats not what that means. The person got banned and dropped the Pokemon and HE GOT it TODAY. It's not like the person adopted it today and got banned TODAY again.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 1 2012, 07:19 PM

I ment i just got it geez fine i got it an hour ago but im just posting it now..

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 1 2012, 07:40 PM

I wa sgoing to ask what everyone was up to since the SWSH finished, but clearly the answer is either the new exploration or breeding a shiny of the new novelty.

On another note anyone notice the strange things that appeared in the back shop after the reset? It got more mystery items and a few vouchers as well. Anyone get any of them, cause I noticed them dissapear.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 1 2012, 07:41 PM

Yea i did too..on mobile site ( i am mostly on) i cant get a mystery box for 0..its invalid..but i got a mysterious letter today for 0

Posted by: Nemu Aug 1 2012, 07:41 PM

Egg hunt pass. I was so confused I thought it was a glitch. XD

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 1 2012, 07:59 PM

Mystery Boxes are exploration items from ban drops.

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 1 2012, 08:02 PM

alright what about mysterious letter..whats that for?

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 1 2012, 08:04 PM

It WAS for the acess for the new site. Although I don't know how you got it from the backroom....

if ya dont believe me check my invertory..

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 2 2012, 12:17 AM

I finally got my mysterybox, I don't know who put it there, but I thank you great intensity! EDIT:It's gone ;(

So how is everyone holding up with the new updated servers?

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 2 2012, 06:17 AM

I managed to get a Shiny hunt voucher from the BR last night. As for the Mystery letter, its perfectly normal for the letter to be buyable from the BR after an account ban drop, the same for the slowpoke tails i would imagine though ive never seen one in the BR yet. Infact the only items usually unbuyable which show up as mystery boxes are exploration items.

The new server seems ok, a little lagging on multiplier days but nothing game breaking.

On another more important note: Although the activity is amazing, could we try to keep posts longer then a single sentence? As i say the posts are cool and all but the only reason we've hit 8 pages is the constant stream of singular sentences. Just add a bit more content, even if its your current hunts or how you're recent exploration is going. Thanks =]

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 2 2012, 08:58 AM

Well, I just woke up and My Pokemon for an Exploration STILL isn't level 40. The servers are laggy for me cause of my ancient computer... But other than that everything seems ok.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 2 2012, 10:27 AM

Man, I hate it when that happens! Even more annoying is when you need to buy a certain item for an exploration, and for the last 2 days it still hasn't been in stock!

Posted by: Keruso Aug 2 2012, 10:42 AM

heh, again, i need to post in here more often.

i've been on the Kyerum Exploration, and in fact, im almost done with it. at the moment, i need 100 people to feed my legend a berry, then i can get it's egg.

so, current hunts:

i'll update this part once i learn how to do a print screen.......im old enough to know how to do this, some things i just cant figure out

Posted by: Rhapsody Aug 2 2012, 11:28 AM

Assuming you're on a PC, Alt + Prtsc (or something similar, probably depends on the keyboard model) will allow you to paste your screen into something like Paint. If you're on a laptop, you might need to add the Fn key into that mix. If you happen to be using a Mac, I'm sorry that I'm Mac-deficient and can't be of more help. ;_;

I'm leaving the Special Explorations 'till the weekend. Might only have time for one right now, but I want to dedicate the greater part of a day to working on them... I've been so busy with work and other commitments lately. Going to do the pixies for my precious rank since I want an Azelf I 100% obtained myself (yay exchanges!) and dunno, Kyurem I guess.

I started a Chingling race recently since I realized that shiny Chimecho is awesome. Now I need to get lucky and have this not be a 500-egg hunt. Those hunts make Rhapsody sad.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 2 2012, 11:34 AM

Good luck with your hunt Rhapsody!

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 2 2012, 12:31 PM

Well I finally got me my shiny, the downside is it is a mudkip, again. The upside is it's another shiny straight from the lab.

On the other hand I started the new rxploration, so far not so good (taking a long time to level up) but so far ive broken my interaction record thanks to the wait...

EDIT: Another not roggenrolla shiny, I'm ok with this because if the site is giving me other shinies so I don't get a shiny roggenrolla then I'm set.

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 2 2012, 02:10 PM

Well my exploration is going SOO bad. Can't even find a Solrock anywhere

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 2 2012, 02:12 PM

Yeah, my exploration is also going badly. 3 days in a row, still no fresh water

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 2 2012, 02:24 PM

Hmm, the Shop's stock changes every 6 AM and 6 PM so maybe check a bit after those times.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 2 2012, 02:26 PM

Hopefully I'll get it......


OMGYAY!!!!
http://gpxpl.us/ilndK

Now I can get my Shiny Espeon!

Posted by: Nemu Aug 2 2012, 03:37 PM

Hey I just released 5 legends, at least some if not all lv 100.

Good luck all.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 2 2012, 03:39 PM

Darn, I've used all of my shelter grabs for today.

[EDIT]: If one of them was a Giratina, I just might kill you XD

Posted by: Spectronizer Aug 2 2012, 05:01 PM

Name Change- Dragonbreeze to Spectronizer

I'm currently on task 5 on my exploration, the Guardian one. (Things have been easier since the new site was released ) Where have the Lunatone and Solrock gone, I wonder?
@SWSH- That Morph family (Roggenmorph, Morphdore, Gigamorph) is epic. I can't wait untill the shiny Malachite form comes out <3

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 2 2012, 05:08 PM

Yay the solrock and lunatone were a breeze of getting them.Both so easily gotten.Both from the shelter egg zone so maybe look in there possibly and the shelter zone

Oh yeah I bought the lustrous orbs and summoned 2 palkias and it was a good idea since there was barely any eggs

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 2 2012, 05:10 PM

Welcome our newest member, Ryuujinjakka!
And Spectronizer, change is noted.

I'd just like to reinforce this, as it seems like it was missed or something:

I really do agree with this, and with the way everybody is responding in one sentence it's going so fast through the thread.

Anyway, I'm just going about doing RL stuff, so mot really much happening on the site for me. I recently ended a hunt only because the other person got their shiny, which was the only reason I had that hunt going. But I'll still be reading through here with a watchful eye!

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 2 2012, 05:31 PM

I'm on task 6 of Guardians and NO ONE AT ALL will click on my Mesprit...... gonna be on this task a while

And its so easy to level up Pokemon in ways I have never discovered o.O

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 2 2012, 06:51 PM

Well all is going good in my department, althouh it is going a bit slow for me things are still getting done. So far I got 2shinies today, a mudkip and a cacnea, roggenrolla still remains amiss.

Something I want to know is has everyone entered their steel type pokemon for the pokehunt? I am almost finished with raising mine, however as I said things are going a bit slow...

Finally I want to ask if we have anything planned groupwise for the near future, seeing as sign up have slowed down now I think a contest with who we currently have will help attract attention to other malachite members into joining. I do realize you guys want to gather more people, butthere are those of us who have been here that are getting a bit restless and want something to do aside from look for green shinies. Proactivity brings activity(I have run a few groups and contests before so I do know this works)

Posted by: Nemu Aug 2 2012, 07:00 PM

Nope promise.

It was 2 kyoger and 3 raquaza. Extras. I got lucks and got a Latias (I can never find that egg with summoning just Latios). And I felt like a greedy butt. So I let go some extras hoping to brighten people's days.

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 2 2012, 07:20 PM

I realise some are getting restless about the lack of events, and of course we have noticed at present a slow down in members joining, we are still small and hoping our name will get out there soon. I will be talking to Anthony when we are both online next regarding an event to come up with, whether this will be a dress up contest or something else we haven't decided, and right now i'm not sure where and what the prizes will be, though form the looks of things i may donate some of my trinkets for the winner(s).

Please bare in mind, myself and Anthony live half way across the world from each other so our times online can often be unsynched so organising events, especially on short notice is somewhat difficult but once we have the process down i'm sure we will organise events much more fluently and on a monthly bases. For the time being please leave suggestions unless asked , I really want your input obviously but for now its easier for us to come up with the first event to get the ball rolling and possibly have a poll for the next event.

Thanks for reading.

On a lighter note, welcome new members.

@HarukaSuzume: if you are really looking for a Giratina i'm sure i can drop one for you, of course there is no guarantee you'd get it.

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 2 2012, 07:41 PM

Hmm for events, maybe we could do a Green Shiny Hunt Group-wide?

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 2 2012, 07:58 PM

I love that idea shadow..like all green shiny hunt..Btw finished my Sh. hunt for Azurill today! short hunt too..also< if anyone uses the mobil site, are the shelter images not showing for you too?

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 2 2012, 08:05 PM

I'd like to avoid a green shiny hunt for this month since there is already a green pokemon GWSH going on in the Shiny Lovers thread, and i'd rather avoid conflicting with that group since its one of our affiliates. Though the following month i'd be more then happy for that to be put forward. infact we will probably have a poll for next month to decide what type of contest you want =] Though if everyone really wants to do a green shiny hunt will be considered, i'd just say you'll have much more control over the next event when we are more prepared~

Of course i'd like to see what Moonlit says first =]

Also congratulations on completing your shiny hunt, currently i'm working on the kyurem exploration since i love the shiny and any chance for a shiny is good enough for me =]

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 2 2012, 08:19 PM

Actually I'm on mobile right now and the shelter seems perfectly normal

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 2 2012, 08:29 PM

Possibly a dress up contest for green pokemon.I would so want to do this and besides other groups are doing it anyway.Plus I have not done a dress up contest since the KOTRT contest in October last year

@mobile It works for me.What was weird was that earlier the shelter only gave me a ? was a durant/drilbut eggs

Posted by: Foresterra Aug 2 2012, 08:50 PM

I'd say a spriting contets might be fun, but since not everyone here can sprite I guess a dressuop contest would be cool too

Posted by: Ryuujinjakka Aug 2 2012, 10:42 PM

I'm up for the idea of a dress up contest. I've been inactive for a while and i never got to do one of the site-wide ones....sooo yeah

Posted by: Shelldude400 Aug 3 2012, 01:15 AM

We should do a Shiny Hunt for Roggenmorhpa.
MALAPRIDE!
It's a malachite pokemon, it's perfect!
I've never done a dress up contest, mainly because I can't really dress up pokemon ehehe..
Maybe if we do do one I will try

Posted by: Obsidian Shadow Aug 3 2012, 12:32 PM

I like the idea of a Shiny Roggenmorpha hunt! We have to do something though! Azurite and Wulfente both are...

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 3 2012, 12:48 PM

Well, I'm working on my rotom and litwick hunts now, hopefully they'll go as well as my Eevee one did~

And Azurite and Wulfenite are both what?

Posted by: Nemu Aug 3 2012, 12:56 PM

-Points at person above, yells 'stalker', and faints- XD

I guess hunting them for a contest?

It might be cool, but I'm already hunting it...And it's slow going. XD

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 3 2012, 05:09 PM

The reason a Roggenmorpha hunt might not be the best bet is because it is a novelty, and is quite difficult to obtain, most cases only finding an egg every time you use novel power which can only be used twice a day, so you'd be limited to potentially two eggs per day which would suck for a shiny race. I mean i personally like to hatch as many eggs per day as possible, several hundred per day would work better for a sh race then less then 10 xD but thats just my opinion i guess =P

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 3 2012, 05:17 PM

I agree with jaysus..Its kinda hard to get the novelty egg from a breeding pair other then the novel pass power..And its almost impossible to find one in the shelter now..I have only hatched 8 since the August 1st and i have used the novel power 4 times..

Posted by: Count Bleck Aug 3 2012, 05:41 PM

wait...what? a post? what post? I didn't post anything. It's not like i made a mistake and am now trying to cover my tracks.....

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 3 2012, 05:46 PM

Right, so there has been no contest as of yet, to apologise we are having a mini contest, a Banner making contest which is precisely what it sounds like. Similar to a dress up contest, the idea is you design a banner for the group, voting will begin shortly after hand in. Entries to be PM'd to Moonlit when i give a date; i'm yet to discuss this with moonlit, so hold off PM-ing util i post a date for hand in, for now work on the banners.

I will personally gift the 3 best banner creators with a trinket from my own collection, however its entirely possible it will be a dup but a high rarity. Since there won't be a 1st 2nd or 3rd, chances are the trinkets will be a Rarity 7 or 8. A poll will be posted shortly after a deadline date for the contest hand in which will be set at a later date.

To sum up the last 2 paragraphs, work on your banner entries, DO NOT PM Moonlit until i have set a date to, deadline will be set, polls will be up shortly after, voting, then prizes. I hope this gives you all something productive to do while you are waiting on a group wide contest. Good luck

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 4 2012, 07:45 AM

Oh yeah! Banner making contest, I am soooo doing this!

One question, are we allowed to make more than 1 banner for this? because I might want to make a whole bunch, it's just what I do.

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 4 2012, 08:02 AM

I'd say make one for the contest, you are more then welcome to make others if you like but keep it to one entry per person other wise it might not be fair =] By all means make more though and we can use them =]

EDIT: Contest deadline etc will be announced by Moonlit shortly~

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 4 2012, 08:04 AM

Okay~ I'll make a whole bunch (I already wanted to), and I'll specify just one as my contest entry!

Well, I'll go get started now!


[EDIT]: Okay, I still have to make more banners, but I finished the one I'm doing for the contest, so here it is!

[EDIT2]: Not shown anymore due to fact that I want it to be a surprise for the voting~

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 4 2012, 09:38 AM

Welcome our newest members: Count Bleck, Kaldra, and ProfessorLayton!

Well Malachites, you asked for a contest, now here it is!

Then I will set up a poll for everyone to vote on until the 14th. The winners will then be given their prizes!

Secondly, and the anxiously waited for contest, the Dress-up Contest! This contest is simple: Dress up a pokemon, normal or shiny, that is majorly a Malachite's colors.

Submissions for the contest will be from now until the 14th, when the mini-contest's winners will be given their prizes. Send in your contest entry, both the Dress-up sprite and the Usercard (in case it shows up wonky) with the subject "Pretty Green Dress". Voting will be from the 15th until the 19th (Sunday), and prizes will be revealed along with the winners of the mini-contest.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 4 2012, 09:38 AM

@Haruka; would be better if you removed the banner from your post and see Moonlits recent post =]

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 4 2012, 09:42 AM

Thanks for letting me know that, I just fixed it~!

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 4 2012, 12:27 PM

Eh.... I guess I'll probably try out for the dress up contest o.O

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 4 2012, 06:07 PM

Welcome our newest member, Obelisk429!

Also, keep the submissions coming for both the mini-contest and the dress-up contest! Info can be found in the front page, with updated and clarified rules.

Anyways, I'll actually be pretty active on GPX for the next week compared to this past week, so I may be able to respond quicker to things.

LATE EDIT: Welcome Eucharistica and Ashallayn!

Posted by: ProfessorLayton Aug 5 2012, 02:32 AM

okay I entered the dress-up and the banner contest, good luck to everyone!

Mmmhmm, I just entered my pokemon for the dress up contest..

Posted by: Garnet til Alexandros XVII Aug 6 2012, 12:52 AM

I just noticed there was a dress up contest..Prob not going to enter, I'm really awful at dress ups XD So good luck to everybody else that enters!

Posted by: ShadowClaws Aug 6 2012, 08:31 AM

.....No one is replying anymore o.o......

Posted by: Keruso Aug 6 2012, 09:24 AM

people sleep. also, people are from different countries

Posted by: Ashallayn Aug 6 2012, 09:28 AM

That is true. But also some people probably don't want to reply to everything.

Posted by: Spectronizer Aug 6 2012, 09:53 AM

Entered the dress-up contest, and didn't enter the banner contest since I cannot make banners. Good luck to the other entrants of both contests, may malamagic be with you.

Welcome to the new members, and congrats to those who have achieved something great.

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 6 2012, 01:37 PM

Welcome our newest member, Mars Adept Enten!

Keep the entries for the contest coming you guys they're all looking great! Even if you aren't so great at dress ups, why not try it out?

Also, what have you guys been doing site-wise to show your Malapride?

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 6 2012, 01:43 PM

Hi, everyone. I'm one of the newest members in this group. I've been on here for 3+ years and am quite active on GPX+. I'm trying to finish some old SWs right now (Snivy/Roggenrola, although that second isn't quite that old yet, XD) and will soon start a Roggenmorpha hunt. Oh, and I also made a userbar for the group:


Feel free to use it. All I ask is that I'm credited somewhere.

I might enter this contest, but I'll need to search all my dress-ups for a good entry first.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 6 2012, 05:21 PM

Awesome Banner, and nice to have you join us Mars!

Well, so far, no luck with my Rotom hunt....

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 6 2012, 05:44 PM

I am racing a Sam and Akihisa Yoshii(Azurite Affinity) and Knowledge(wulfenite) so I guess this is good for me but Ferroseed is eluding me since May and that is my race with Sam

I cannot believe my luck this month, I have hatched 7 shinies this month.
Those being:
Gigalith:Late SSWH
Rotom[heat]:Part of Shockwaves box
Swalot:Part of achievements
Fraxure:Was trying to get male to name after Sam
Lunatone:Was seeing alot of Lunatone eggs and I wanted to race for it
Lopunny:Was out of shelter grabs
Druddigon(got an hour ago):Out of shelter grabs till after I grabbed it and did not expect it to

Can't wait to see everyone's dress ups and banners

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 6 2012, 07:20 PM

Sorry if this is a little of topic..But i haveing a hard time finding someone to shiny race..if anyone is interested can you please message me?

And sweetie..are those all since august 1??

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 6 2012, 08:44 PM

Thankies, Haruka. It's based off of a style I read a tutorial for, but since I only have GIMP, and that doesn't have the necessary filters and whatnot, I came up with that style.

As a way to show my Malapride, I made a Malachite skin for GPX+. Here's the codes if anyone else wants to use it:

Color Scheme-Malapride
Main Color: #228b22
Text Color: #9ccd52
Border: #000000
Background: #314a29
Outline: #ffffff
Shell: #2e8b57
Spots: #7fff00

If you're using the old GPX+, just omit the border, outline, shell, and spots colors.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 6 2012, 08:49 PM

I also made my banner using GIMP, it's pretty fun~ And no problem!

O_O that skin.... IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 6 2012, 10:10 PM

Lol actually I was talking to moon about that, were going to have a mini contest to see who can make the best Malachite skin in the near future. But it does look nice. Better hope nobody steals it for the contest ::

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 6 2012, 11:03 PM

Well, the entries are coming along well! Keep sending them in!

Also, I will update one rule for the contests after I post this.

@Thenoah43 I'll race you!

But if anyone tries to steal this, I will know. So y'all either don't steal it, or I can steal Wraenna's banhammer.

Anyway, I have a little surprise after complaining so much about not getting a shiny for awhile in a Skype group (sorry guys, if you see this):
http://gpxpl.us/DuemK

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 7 2012, 01:51 AM

Congrats on the shiny, Moonlit.

*laughs* I honestly had no idea about those 'mini-contest regarding skins' ideas. That skin took me a while, mostly because the contrast wasn't all that great using new!GPX+'s color list. I got those hex codes/colors from GIMP and various green-colored
Pokémon. Among them were Virizion and Reijuu/Therian Forme Tornadus. (I put the Japanese forme term because I like that one more than the 'official English' term, because our forme terminology makes me think of wereanimals more than a deity's animalistic avatar. But I digress.)

Posted by: Kaldra Aug 7 2012, 04:26 PM

So I am in the process of making my entry, do we just send the link to you (moonlit)? or do you want a specific image link?

Also I suppose I should say hi to everyone while I type this as I haven't done so yet :P sooo hi everyone

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 7 2012, 04:29 PM

You give Moonlit the dress up image and the user card image cause the dress up images are being buggy

Posted by: Kaldra Aug 7 2012, 04:42 PM

Ahh okay, thank you

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 7 2012, 04:53 PM

Your welcome.Good luck to you and everyone for now and forever

Posted by: Wraenna Aug 7 2012, 05:09 PM

Don't be stealing my banhammer, Moonlit. If you need it, YOU CAN ASK. Gosh.

I'm not going to enter the banner contest since I already made a signature banner for the group. But I may enter the dressup contest if it's still active.

I have nothing else important of note to report. I'm still hunting Bidoof from the SWSh; it's over 800 now. LE SIGH. I wonder whether I'll hatch a Bidoof or a Gulpin first...

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 8 2012, 10:54 PM

Welcome our newest member, Uzumaki Naruto!

;D

Also, keep sending in your entries for both the mini-contest and the dress up contest! Info/Rules are in the second post, and entries for the mini-contest end in two days! Be sure to get your entries in to be voted on!

Ooh, it's almost time for entries to close! Good luck to everyone, and I can't wait to see all of the entries!

...And still no luck on my shiny hunt... I fear I may end up with the "persistent" achievement...

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 9 2012, 12:05 PM

http://gpxpl.us/KGiqK
Yay I finished the race against Quiver Dance(Samoo) but haven't won yet since it's fewest and he hatched about 209 right now which is like halfway than mine

I wonder who will win banner and dress ups

@Haruka You should use it for that achievement since you could resume it after

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 9 2012, 12:49 PM

KYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! HAPPY DAY!!!!

http://gpxpl.us/HOSyq

Posted by: Thenoah43 Aug 9 2012, 01:10 PM

Ill race ya if you want!! http://gpxpl.us/kdeqK Just got this guy

Posted by: netobeto Aug 9 2012, 01:57 PM

Yeah i wanna race but which pokemon?

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 10 2012, 12:37 PM

Well this is kinda dieing, so how has everyone been doing in gpx+in general? Like any achievements you jave been gunning for and finally got, or got that one shiny you have coveted since the begining of time? Or howabout explorations, anything good happen whilist on one? Lets bring some discussion back, come on!

On a good note for me though my rank went from 2100+ to 1800+ Im slowly gaining my rank that I had before my gap back. I used to be mainly in the 1200's and my best was in the 900's. So what was everyones best rank?

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 10 2012, 12:58 PM

Probably not dying its just people are busy and the excitement from the hunt etc has died down. I'm sure if something affinity wise comes up again the hype will too. Not to mention the competition entries etc.

My highest rank...well it depends, usually its around 100 but depending on whether i'm 1st or not for unique exploration completed i can hit about 60th place. Achievements, not much really, i have a few gym achievements to actually complete but i never have the space due to constantly hunting shinies. I've taken a break from explorations because completing the few novelty and special explorations in 3 days killed me and i'm finding it increasingly difficult to click due to lack of motivation.

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 10 2012, 01:31 PM

My current rank's 576 right now, but I think I got to around 530 during the SWSH. Probably due to all the Explo clicking I did. I used to be around 1,600, but my rank has increased by at least 1,000 places now. I'm trying to go for the Badge Achievements and trying to finish the Breeding Achievements (all I need for that are Seasons of Love and A Novel Approach) Unfortunately, to get that first one, I need to find a female WV, because I only have males.

Got my last shiny bulbasaur for the line today and it is green:http://gpxpl.us/yAVqK.
Hunting Squirtle now.

Yay my overall rank used to be 97-120 and thanks to the battle subway, I am now 68-85

Doing my 2nd round on TBD now

Posted by: ProfessorLayton Aug 10 2012, 09:19 PM

My best rank I've gotten is 81. But now I am 626.

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 10 2012, 11:34 PM

My rank hovers around 65 lately, but it was hovering around 45-50 a few weeks back. My highest ever has been 23 or 24.

BUT. The sign-up for the mini-contest, the banner making contest, are over. I shall have them all up soon enough to be voted upon to choose which is the winner.

However, still continue to send in your entries for the dress-up contest! Dress up contest entries will end when the Mini-contest's entries have finished being voted upon. The banners will be voted on until the 14th, when the dress ups will be put in a poll for voting until the 19th.

EDIT: K, loaded the poll for Mini!

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 11 2012, 06:49 PM

So many cool entries, good luck to everyone!

And I finished my Rotom hunt!

I'm not one who records rankings, but my rank has been in the 1,200-1,500s lately.
All the banners look epic, and its nice they turned out great.
Congrats to those with recent achievements or shinies, and welcome to the new members.

Can't wait for the dress-up contest, good luck to the entrants of the dress-up contest and also to the users who created banners for the mini-contest.

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 12 2012, 05:31 AM

Banners are looking good guys, i hope your dress ups are equally as nice =] I suppose i had better start searching my trinkets for suitable prizes hadn't I ehe which reminds me, i need to start clicking more, my activity on the site in recent weeks as been terrible considering i used to try to get at least 10k per day now i manage a 10th of the before i get bored.

congrats on the shiny bulbasaur Sweetie, ¬¬ you stole my bulbasaur...aha i joke, grats =]
I'm currently shiny racing wulfenites leader 'joltik' and out of pride for the group refuse to lose, then i shall tease her about it because i am truly the worst kid of boyfriend the world will see. SHE IS COMPETITION RAWRRR.

Other then GPX related stuff i have been 'trying' to sell 100GP on Vdex with only one person bidding which is making me rage a little.

Posted by: Commander Wymsy Aug 12 2012, 02:03 PM

I've been really busy the last week but somehow I still managed to get a couple of new green shinies:

http://gpxpl.us/jWpDK http://gpxpl.us/uBMmK

Started up new shiny hunts for more green shinies too last night, making slow progress on that.

When I have some more free time I'll be making some signature images for the group, partly because I just haven't made any of those in a while in general. Not quite sure what I'll do yet, but I've been contemplating images using animated Pokémon sprites.

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 12 2012, 02:36 PM

Grats on the shinies everyone! Seeing Wymsy's shiny Scolipede just makes me want one of my own even more. I'll have to start a hunt for that when I get some more room on my Shine Recorder. I've got enough backed-up hunts as it is.

And good luck on your shiny race, Jaysus! I know you'll do us MalaMages proud!

In other news, I've still not gotten any shinies as of late. My main two hunts are at 432 (Snivy, Jan. 2012 SW) and 558 (Roggenrola, July 2012 SW) right now. I'm definitely going to get Persistent when my Roggenrola hunt's finished. XD I have gotten a lot of new trinkets as well as various Crests for my collection. Haven't had as good of luck finding the Trigrams, though. Exploration-wise, I'm on task 9 of Guardians. Almost to the dreaded battle tasks I've seen a lot of folks talking about in the Explo thread. Hopefully, my team will be up to the challenge.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 14 2012, 08:28 AM

Ooh, voting is almost done, I can't wait to see the next contest entries!

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 14 2012, 10:50 PM

Sorry for the lack of the activity on my end, school has just started up again, with classes being more demanding this year. I shall still try to work with my schedule to post in here regularly, but it may be minimal for the next week or so, then hectic will be done and gone and I'll be able to be more active.

For the mini-contest: As there was clearly one winner for the banner contest, I would like to announce our winner, HarukaSuzume! Our second place winner for the mini-contest is Ashallayn, and the two tied for third are ProfessorLayton and Rhapsody! Congrats to our winners, and thanks for participating in the mini-contest! Prize trinckets will be given out by Jaysus in a mannerly fashion within the next couple days! All five of the banners will also be put into the third post once I grab the codes tomorrow afternoon, as school demands, yadayada.

And now, the event you've been waiting for, the Dress-Up Contest! I will be posting the entries momentarily, and since so many people are participating, I would like to announce you can vote for Two entries for this contest (once I set up the entries). Have fun voting for your favorites!

EDIT: There, Image codes up after thirty minutes of messing up with the polls. Happy voting!

Posted by: Shelldude400 Aug 15 2012, 01:41 AM

Well I got a shiny that has some green in it:
http://gpxpl.us/XqXVK
Congrats to the winners of the banner contest, GL to the entrants of the Dressup one

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 15 2012, 04:17 AM

Can all the winners, so; Rhapsody, ProfessorLayton, Ashallayn and HarukaSuzume all add me to their palpads and PM me once its done since gifting the prizes can only be done to mutual palpad friends. You are more then welcome to delete me afterwards if you do so wish.

I will do my very best to provide you a trinket you do not have but since we are the same affinity it will be hard. If you get a dup i apologise however it could always be used as trade fodder. Prizes will be a rarity 7 for both 3rd place, rarity 8 for second place, and a rarity 9/10 for first.

Thanks for the entries, they were all fantastic and i look forward to seeing the results of the dress up contest.

congrats on the Tauros Shelldude =]

Posted by: Nemu Aug 15 2012, 12:48 PM

Wow.

Sorry been kind of down. Not as active lately and not on the net quite as much. On big cherubi hunt, not finding eggs. Eh, it could be worse.

Missed a shiny lv 100 ninetails in the shelter due to it just not clicking. Cried.

Posted by: HarukaSuzume Aug 15 2012, 08:47 PM

Aww, sorry about that. I hate it when that happens, I once missed a lv100 shiny Gardevior, AND a Darkrai in the same day.

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 16 2012, 09:08 AM

I got 2 new green shnies to add:
http://gpxpl.us/FWTsKhttp://gpxpl.us/ZAAmK

Started a hunt for Roggenrola because I want to take advantage of people breeding for roggenmorpha

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 16 2012, 11:03 AM

I got a Shine Expansion very early today, and started a Roggenmorpha hunt. I had hatched 13 before I started the hunt, 12 of those for that unofficial hunt, and the other was a voucher.

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 16 2012, 05:15 PM

I couldn't enter the contests, I hate not having cpu access (atleast I have internet access though) anyway I am extremely jealous of everyones glorious new shinies, my most recent ones were cacnea and mudkip, so redorange and pink....yay. Oh glorious gods of GPX+ bless me with shinies for my hunts and after that grant me an Arceus egg and I will die happy. (Totally not lame last wishes) Anyway best of luck to all entrants and may the best dress up win!

So anyone find anything good lately?

Posted by: ProfessorLayton Aug 17 2012, 06:57 AM

I bought a legend voucher plus and got a meloetta voice out of it!

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 17 2012, 11:41 AM

I had a dream early this morning that I managed to get a shiny Roggenrola, but it was just a dream. Hopefully, it'll be a premonition for my luck today. Other than that, nothing new to report except I'm on task 7 of BtFF.

Posted by: Nemu Aug 17 2012, 11:59 AM

@HarukaSuzume Bummer. Thanks for the support.

Yeah hunting this novelty is going to be hard, but is it better/worse than most others? Not sure.

Good luck everybody. I'm up to around 200 Cherubi hatched. Why can't it be like a few of my hunts and be at less than 100?

Posted by: Slade Wilson Aug 17 2012, 11:06 PM

Trying to beat Hunter's Legendaries in the Lake Trio exploration. I figured out which types I need to beat each pokemon with, but the constant switching when a type match up is stronger than his makes it difficult :/ I wish battles didn't do that so much because it makes me not want to battle--because I pretty much suck at them XD-- Battle tips would be awesome. I don't know if there are any groups or something that can give advice on battling

The only green shiny I'm Shine Recording for is Tauros. I'm trying to get the first gen shinies. That's my main goal on GPX right now

I think that's all I have to report for what's going on. I hope to beat Hunter soon. Maybe I need Legendaries too

Posted by: AmazingGrace1314 Aug 18 2012, 09:23 AM

Guys I'm making a Malachite team for BT. Any ideas? I have Haxorous and Reuniclus. I need more green pokemon

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 18 2012, 11:14 AM

AmazingGrace, here's a page with a list of the canon Pokémon by color: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_color#Green That should prove to be helpful.

In other news, I managed to get a shiny Joltik early this morning on my Black save. And I love its shiny colors, so that worked out great.

Posted by: AmazingGrace1314 Aug 18 2012, 12:02 PM

Okay so Tyranitar, Breloom, Reuniclus, and Haxorous

Welcome our newest member, qhost!

Sorry for the inactivity lately, I've just been hit really hard by school and I've been passing out on my couch the past few days when I get home.

Anyway, nothing new for me lately for the site, but I've been getting all of the scavenger tasks done so far!

EDIT: Also welcome another new member, Spectral Prince!

Posted by: Spectral Prince Aug 18 2012, 02:38 PM

Hello all.
I am Spectral Prince. ^^

I am so gad to be here!

Sitewise, I just got back on yesterday after a 3 month hiatus. :\
I just started Protecting The Fragile.
I'm going to complete it today!

Posted by: Nemu Aug 18 2012, 02:42 PM

Good luck and welcome.

Also, your link isn't working.

EDIT: Also wanted to say I'm breeding shiny purrloin and shiny glameow in hopes of a shiny purrloin.

So I hope you guys get a shiny from them as well. :P

Posted by: Slade Wilson Aug 18 2012, 06:04 PM

Random Purrloin shiny? I might try that. Thanks Nemu

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 18 2012, 07:01 PM

First off, welcome new members

Been randomly grabbing eggs all day since ive been too lazy to actively search for the eggs im hunting. So far i've completed all the scavenger tasks, hopefully ill get another clean sweep.

Just got this beaut, shame the tail wasn't green though

Welcome our newest member, 2technogeeks!

I think I forgot to mention in my last post: Congrats to all shinies lately! It's nice to see some in here!

Oh, and I think I forgot to grab the image codes for the banners, they will be up with codes soon!

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 18 2012, 10:34 PM

http://gpxpl.us/sLvUK
Don't have to hunt it now and besides I wanted it to name it after a knight
Some of you might who I am naming it after

Was random and from the lab so that's good so that makes 12 shinies this month

Completed all scavenger tasks up to date and probably won't do tomorrow's one cause of school shopping

About damn effing time I got my psychedelic viper! I've been trying for this guy for almost a year D: But I'm so happy to finally have it! And look, green! XD

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 19 2012, 01:35 PM

And welcome our newest member, lucariovondimencio!

And I finally got a shiny after my last one on the 6th!
http://gpxpl.us/BuWUK
My 66th shiny. Too bad it's not quite green.

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 19 2012, 02:39 PM

As a helpful hint for anyone struggling on defeating Hunter in the Guardians explo, get and/or raise a Ferrothorn and get some Lefties. Works like a charm for a sweep. That's what I did after struggling against him.

Posted by: Spectronizer Aug 20 2012, 07:33 AM

Hello, fellow Malamages!

Welcome to the new members, and congrats on all the shinies.
Nothing new here, good luck to you all with your hunts, expos, trinket collecting and contests!

Wrong gender. But I'm not stressing about that. My sister will forgive me...I think. XD

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 21 2012, 08:36 PM

OH MY.

I forgot to close the poll for the Contest last night, been so busy with school that it's dragging down my activity on the site. But anyway, Congratulations to our winner, ProfessorLayton! In a close second... wait, is that right? I got second? Oh well, this isn't about the winners, it's for participation!

For every participant, you will recieve a trinket of rarity equal to the amount of vote you gained! If you gained 6, you get a R6, 10+ gets a R10! Congratulations to everybody! I shall give out prizes soon, most likely this weekend, but I will keep a checklist of who needs what trinkets, so everybody gets their trinket. I will also try as hard as I can to give you a trinket which you do not have, so you can be one more closer to completing the sets!

However, for the time being, I will not hand out trinkets quite yet. I am sorry, but school > internet at the moment. If you add me to your pal pad for now, I can get to giving you your trinket faster, but please, be as patient as you can

EDIT: Just took 20 minutes and updated the banner post (third post) with the banners from the mini-contest, enjoy!

Posted by: Nemu Aug 23 2012, 12:39 PM

http://gpxpl.us/zORtK

Started hunt since I can't really get Cherubi eggs plus breeding Zergoose for shiny hunt and figured why not. XD

When I got it, it was the worst lag ever and I said to it 'stop lying, I know you're not shiny'.

Awesome it proved me wrong.

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 23 2012, 07:14 PM

Well I'm on an unlucky streak for the scavenger hunt, almost missing two, and missing another. Been too busy!

I will get to everyone for prizes either tomorrow or Saturday, I'm just trying to keep up with school and everything, so hectic is hectic.

With the unlucky streak came a shiny, a Gentle, Shiny Fighting type. Gotta go find another now!
http://gpxpl.us/agrtK

As for you guys, what's keeping you motivated to stay on GPX? Scavenger hunt, shiny races, new Battle Subway stuff? I keep coming on to do scavenger hunt (even through my busy schedule), and I want to know what keeps you guys on! Also, With Prizes in the Subway now, how far have you gone, both overall wins and streak?

Posted by: Jaysus Aug 24 2012, 06:14 AM

Currently my motivation has dropped substantially but The scavenger tasks is what keeps bringing me back day by day. My head has not been with it the last few weeks and i think thats affecting my motivation to do anything. As for the battle tower, my streak was as little as 10 or 11 i believe. I just suck at GPX battling, probably because i tire of the constant swapping then buffing or the insane critical hit chance the NPC seem to have. The prizes are cool though, i'm actually quite surprised they didn't do BP though to allow us to buy what we want, i definitely won't be getting the upgrades thats for sure.

On a more positive note, i got this randomly yesterday which made me happy:http://gpxpl.us/PnUtK
I had hunted it before but gave in; when i was newish at shiny hunting, so i'm glad i got the one. Another 2 to go.

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 24 2012, 07:52 AM

Everyone is getting shinies and I still haven't gotten one past my cacnea a month ago T^T. I must have hatched over 200 eggs since the hunt ended for roggenrolla, but I digress. Finally completed the lake trio exploration, wemt with mesprit, not shiny though...

Anyway I feel we need our own little inside joke, sonething for us malachites to laugh at but others will be like wtf.jpeg.

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 24 2012, 10:45 AM

An in-joke, huh? Sounds good to me, but I can't for the life of me come up with one. Maybe a wordplay on the group name or somethin'? Yeah, I got nothin'.

I've managed to get both my SpecExplos for the month finished, and also cleared BtG and am now on TPD. Man, new!GPX+ is sooo good for clearing Explos quick-like. No shinies for me as of late, though. So I know how you feel, The Darkrai. Heck, I'm still trying to get a shiny Roggenrola to complete last month's SWSH! I also got 9 of the 10 ScavHunt tasks finished. Normally, I wouldn't have enough motivation to try and finish all of them, but the lure of more PP is so strong. XD

Posted by: 2technogeeks Aug 24 2012, 04:17 PM

Finally going to post here.

I'm currently going for three green shinies, which are Sewaddle (188), Eevee/Espeon (363), and Roggenmorpha (72). It's kind of disappointing that after my Gigamorph/Ditto pair has still bred 1700+ eggs with no shiny, I breed a random shiny Chatot in one cycle.

Motivation has decreased a little, now that I'm officially out of Explorations to do, but I'm still shiny hunting. I want to finish Roggenmorpha as soon as possible so I can go back to breeding Zergoose. I need to both finish that hunt and get these Blue Stones out of my inventory.

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 25 2012, 11:51 AM

Welcome our newest member, PureLace!

I'll make an effort to get to everyone for prizes today, and you all will have your prizes soon

Moonlit has gifted you their Egyptian Mask

Thank you so much moonlit, a rarity TEN!!

Posted by: Moonlit Aug 25 2012, 05:29 PM

Your prize for the Contest!

Okay, I was only able to get out about 5 of the 12 prizes for the contest. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECIEVED A TRINKET FROM ME IF YOU ENTERED THE CONTEST, ADD ME TO YOUR PAL PAD SO I CAN GET IT TO YOU ASAP.

I shall add that to the title.

And again, you get a trinket based on how many votes you recieved, and I will try to get you one which you do not already have.

Happy Malachite GPXing!

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 25 2012, 06:27 PM

I added you Moonlit.I don't care what I get cause I got like 2 or 3 votes on mine.

Oh yeah, got to show you what I entered:
http://gpxpl.us/uCxja

Thanks for the trinkets Anthony.

Posted by: Kaldra Aug 25 2012, 07:48 PM

Just to let you know i added you in regards to this, if i am reading it right i qualify for just entering?

Congratz to prof layton for winning, and well done on all the shinies, I haven't had one for a while now still want that illusive Klink.

Posted by: Rhapsody Aug 25 2012, 08:30 PM

Whoo, thanks for the trinket. :D

I wish I could get a(nother) shiny Trapinch for this SWSH I started after getting my Shinx... I really don't want to cancel it, but it feels so frustrating to not be able to finish a months-old hunt.

I've been trying to click people back/click people who have added me every day in addition to the scavenger hunt task, but other than that my activity's been kinda low. Getting ready for college is stressful I want to get my Battle Subway mojo back, though. My first streak was my best, then I kinda fell apart after that.

Posted by: Mars Adept Enten Aug 26 2012, 09:46 AM

On my Black version, I managed to catch Cobalion and Virizion. My heart was pounding after both fights. I got them both with Great Balls, too. I was using UBs on Cobi, then decided to try GBs. Virizi kept using Giga Drain whenever I got him to low health, so I had to lower it again.

Posted by: Sweetie Bloomaloo Aug 26 2012, 04:21 PM

I'm doing fairly good in the battle subway since I have won 800+ battles but my streak is 33.
I am hoarding all vitamins too.
I need a "better" team.

@MAE congratz on getting the 3 musketeers especially the Samalion(Cobalion+Quiver Dance)

The battle subway has been a bit productive here, with two vitamins so far.
Congrats to the winner of the dress-up contest, and welcome new malamages. Although not much is new here, I did get Keldeo yesterday in Black. The event finally started here, hooray!
Speaking of green, I got a shiny with a bit of green on it...
http://gpxpl.us/aLztK
Shiny klink, with two little green noses (or cores, perhaps).
Congrats to all the recent shinies, accomplishments and such, and good luck to you all with trinkets and hunts.

Posted by: Count Bleck Aug 30 2012, 11:13 AM

Does anyone know that feel when you need prize points to continue your Exploration and you don't have any?I do

Other news, the battle tower updates are bringing me back into battles. Going to make an all Uber team just to annoy people.
I also have a Fire Emblem in the Market that I decided to trade just to my fellow Malchites. Get it before it goes! (I have 2 though. Mwahahahaha! )

Posted by: The Darkrai Aug 30 2012, 11:59 PM

So does the stats page show the longest recorded shinyhunt? Im almost 700 eggs into the roggenrolla hunt and still nothing :sob:

Im also trying to get a shiny ekans because that should have been my first shiny but I abandoned the egg, and now it belongs to Bb Code...but with only 9people breeding it and over 100hunting it is going a wee bit slow...Also my ratio is 1 shiny for every 112 eggs hatched, well I hatched over 1000 eggs between shinies so far (not including hunted pokemon) so pay up please!

If we have any contests starting lets push them til the 22nd thats when I get sweet computer access once again...Also did we ever decide on a mascot?

Posted by: Slade Wilson Aug 31 2012, 05:49 AM

If we get to vote for next month's SWSH, what Pokemon would you want to hunt for? Would be cool if each affinity got to choose a pokemon whose shiny has their respected colors in it. So out of our green Pokemon, what will you pick?

I would go with either Cubone or Teddiursa--we haven't hunted that one yet, right?--

Posted by: 2technogeeks Aug 31 2012, 04:16 PM

That would be interesting, but might make the start of the race a little late, since the polling would take a while.

If it were for any shiny, I would want to hunt Stunfisk. I'm hunting it already, but I think derpfish deserves more love.

If it were for a green one, Hoppip. Because Hoppip is a beast.
