Back in February of 2009, GPXPlus opened to the public! (That's 7 years in parent lingo.)
We will be celebrating with a few things this month. First, we've reset everyone's coins to 0. Starting right now, you can collect coins by hatching Pokémon that have a base color of Red, Pink, or White. That's about 106 different Pokémon. Again, this is by the base Pokémon's dex color (on GPX) and not by the egg or an evolution's color (if different). This will run all February long, with the event ending (and prizes given out) on February 29th at reset (yay for leap years). Since this is also a Scavenger Hunt month, you will also receive 20 coins for each task you complete. Since some people were upset about prizes being a secret during the December coin event, I will say that you can expect similar prizes this month. There will be a couple of other things announced at a later date. Some quick information on Coins to new members or those who didn't participate the last two times: Coins are basically just a stat (you can find your current count in your Stats and add a counter for it to the top left by going to the Settings page). We've only used them twice before, both times for a Hanukkah dreidel event. We decided to use them again, this time for our anniversary / Valentine's Day, so you will earn coins by hatching Red, Pink, or White colored Pokémon (rather than Fire-types like the last two events). At the end of the event, you will be given prize(s) based on how many coins you collected. End-of-Month Update I hope you all enjoyed the 7th Anniversary / Valentine's Day event(s) for February! Prizes for coins have been handed out. For every 60 coins, a scratch card was rewarded, for a max of 15 (and a minimum of 1, if you got at least 1 coin). You would need at least 900 coins to get all 15 scratch cards. 125 users who earned between 900 and 1799 coins received a Legend Voucher Plus. 68 users who earned between 1800 and 3899 coins received a Shiny Voucher Plus. The 12 users who earned more than 3900 coins received a Shiny Legend Voucher Plus. Your scratch cards, which are now "Sweet Fortune" with artwork by Glitch the Noivern, can be redeemed here (also in the header): http://gpx.plus/scratch-cards Enjoy the month of March! This thread will now be closed. -------------------- Want a rotating avatar like mine? Check out my website: randimg!

Well, the site's officially gone into grade school. In just a few years, this site will hit puberty and then be all awkward and moody in it's prepubescence. Hopefully the mods have already started saving for website college so that the site only has to take out $10,000 in student loans.

Ayyyyyyy I remember the day we launched GPX+ like it was yesterday. We grow up so fast. :'D
Which also means that later this month will be my 8-year anniversary on the site. Good thing I stuck around past looking for an Arceus trade on the Trade Station. -------------------- [align=center]

HEY!
First, we've reset everyone's coins to 0. Starting right now, you can collect coins by hatching Pokémon that have a base color of Red, Pink, or White. Hey. I would love if the scratch cards came back. It was a lot of fun scratching them all. I got some special pokechests and even a credit! If we do this again... maaaaybe for Valentine's day/GPX's birthday? We could hatch red, pink and white pokemon~~ ...Heeey. *nudges with the biggest grin* Zerxy, did I have anything to do with this nicely placed event or do I just have superb guessing skills? -------------------- |

Happy hunting, and happy anniversary everyone! -------------------- |

WELL. I forgot all about this.
For what it's worth, thanks for hinting about the prizes. This time I'm gonna go all-out and get me that Shiny Legend Voucher Bet I won't be the only one, either! Cleffa is pink, so I'll probably resume that hunt first. Then 'karps alllll the way. -------------------- |
