After months (a year?) of delay, an official Mega Stone distribution system has been implemented. We tossed around different ideas over the months, because whenever something new is introduced we like to try and come up with a new system for obtaining/activating it.
In the end, it was far easier to just make permanent use of our temporary method, so that you all don't have to wait any longer.
What we've done a few times now over the last several months, to get some Mega Stones out there, was initiate a daily event where you would automagically receive a random Mega Stone when you come online (as long as you had the Mega Ring).
We've taken that idea, and set it up so that the "daily event" automagically enables itself on the first day of an active Plus. As you know, when a Plus' counter fills up, it becomes active for the next 3 days. So the first of those 3 days, meaning starting at reset on the night that the Plus' counter became full, the Mega Stone event would be active (you'll receive one random Mega Stone that you do not yet have). This would last the full day, until the next reset.
Let's refer to the first Plus day (as described above) as the Mega Plus day. The next two days are just regular Plus days.
Frequently [expected to be] Asked Questions
- A Mega Plus is the first day that a Plus is active. (see the http://gpxplus.net/plus for details on those)
- On a Mega Plus day, you will receive one random Mega Stone that you do not yet have.
- You must actually be logged in and using the site on a Mega Plus day; this is not an inactive reward.
- You must already own the Mega Ring account upgrade, which you may purchase in http://gpxplus.net/shop/main.
- A Mega Stone will appear randomly "at your feet" the same way other random/exploration items are found (with a banner at the top of the site).
- The Mega Stone might not instantly appear the moment you first open the site on a Mega Plus day; this is not a bug. Simply come back to the site every few minutes until the item notification appears.
- Once you've acquired all currently available Mega Stones, a Mega Plus day will not give you a Mega Stone. Note that more Mega Stones may be added to the site later, which you will of course be eligible to receive during future Mega Plus days.
- No, you are not eligible for a different Mega Plus prize if you already have all currently available Mega Stones.
- No, you cannot have more than one of a single Mega Stone.
- No, you cannot sell nor trade Mega Stones.
- Presently, the mobile site is excluded from giving you a Mega Stone during a Mega Plus day; you will need to access the Main Site until you've received it, then you may return back to the mobile site. You can do this by accessing the main index of the mobile site, and looking under the Tips/Tricks area towards the bottom of the page; there will be a "tap here" button for switching site versions.
- I will update this FAQ when the mobile site is included, which is of course planned.
