September Community Thread!

The August Community thread has been moved here.

If you're new here then don't be shy! The community thread is the place to come and chat with fellow members of the site who share a common interest with you. Talk about whatever you want, whether it's GPX related or something going on in your personal life, just be sure to read the rules first before posting. There's always someone on the forums to read and respond to your posts, so chat away and maybe you'll meet some great people!

Rules

• Regular forum rules still apply here. Basically don't double post. Don't ask for clicks every time you fill your party. Unless it gets out of hand*, I'm okay with you linking to an exploration Pokemon who needs a specific berry.
  
  *out of hand meaning I don't want to see Pokémon being linked just for leveling or if they need drinks for happiness. These kinds of interactions can be handled just fine by being in your parties and signatures.
  
  
• Do not post your shinies here, there's a shiny thread for that. Discussing them is OK though! Just make sure you add content to your post.
  
  
• Make sure your post contains worthwhile content. If you're posting an exploration Pokémon to be fed berries then be sure to add other content to your post. Same with discussing shinies. Find people to reply to or start a discussion yourself! Your post must, with the shiny portion and berry feeding hypothetically removed*, not read as if you're talking to yourself. To clarify, your post should not be an out-loud thought to yourself, and should contain more general discussion than just information on your current shiny luck.
  
  *if you were to read your post, skipping over any mention of shinies, the post should still sound like a good post.
  
  If any posts are found breaking this rule then they will be instantly deleted and handed a 10% warn.
  
  
• Do not post your GPX+ gear grinders in this thread either. There's also a thread for that. This is mostly for raging at staff or site events that you don't like.
  
  

  
  Okay:
  Ugh, snow again! D;
  Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? ):
  
  An off-handed comment that is in no way malicious like this is fine. You can always add an emoticon to help add to the not serious effect, but that it is only a small annoyance.
  
  Not okay:
  Ugh, snow again! Why can't staff do something to change this!?
  Dragon type for the Poke Hunt again??? This is stupid, someone NEEDS to change this or do something about it.
  Where is the - New Feature - that was suppose to happen? They said it was going to be a month ago, so where is it!?
  
  This is more ragey and is trying to throw shade at the site and staff. Either examples can be thrown in the gear grinder thread just fine, but this kind of anger is what I want to avoid in this thread. I hoped this helped explain.. (:
  

  
  
• Do not litter your post with swear words.
  
  
• Memes and Gifs are allowed, but don't overuse them. If the thread turns into nothing but meme and gif replies, I'll give everyone a 10% warn that was involved because it's just plain out spam! Make sure you put these in a spoiler tag.
  
  
• No quote pyramids! Be sure to cut out everything that was before what you're replying to. They can get long and make a page annoying to scroll through, so be considerate to your fellow members!
  
  
• A post must be AT LEAST one sentence long. If you’re saying hi or bye to someone be sure to add something more to your post.
  
  
• If you'd like to advertise something, then be sure you put it in your signature. Youtube, Deviantart (No smut), Fanfication (No smut), Twitch, adoptable sites, your own minecraft servers are all fine. If you Live stream give a heads up that you're live, but be sure to add content. Don't just link dump. Send a PM if you have any questions about anything else!

Monthly Raffle

Nominations are now gone, and I'm using post count to determine how many entries you have into the raffle. The first 19 posts you have will count as one entry, and every ten after that will count as an extra. Think of it as the first number of your post count is how many entries you have. To see what your post count is, click on the number of replies any certain thread has. Nothing else on the site will influence the amount of entries you receive, so if you'd like a chance to win, then post here frequently!

The raffle is what chooses who gets to choose what's in next month's egg distribution. There are no other site advantages other than that, and even then the whole site gets a chance at that Pokémon that you chose!

[Merinia]

Unless the Pokemon is part of an exploration task, it really doesn't matter that much which berry you feed it. All it means is they get a tiny amount less experience and happiness. Not a big deal. Though for exploration Pokemon, I don't know if it matters too much either because if that person wasn't going to give it the right one at the time then they wouldn't do it later. It doesn't matter if they interacted with it or not.

[Cryptic Lyric]

Thank you for the positive vibes, and I'm sending them out to everyone else in need of them!

I got second in the Hunt with a 128 Metagross. Not bad. I also decided a shiny hunt for Beldum, so I will keep looking for those!

Time to interact with stuff as a distraction from a paper I have due tomorrow!

[CrazyUmbreonLady]

So, it seems I won't be getting my Shiny Anorith before reset. Ah well, I got two SWSH Shinies this month, so I guess I used up my Shiny Luck for that. I wonder what the novelty from this hunt will be? Because of Fossil Anorith, I'm guessing it's going to be one for Hawlucha or Budew. I would love to see a Budew novelty, but we'll see.

[Yggdrasil]

Over 500 anorith eggs hatched and no shiny. I guess I failed this hunt... So disappointing....

[Snowsky]

Guess who was browsing the shelter and finally found a Floral Togepi? Thanks, RA8 and saino!

Once I get a female, I'll drop the remaining hatched males in the Safari. Happy hunting!

[KatTheBard]

This is the worst shiny luck I think I've ever had. I did hatch my Budew, yes, but I've bred more than 1,500 eggs and only one of them thus far has been shiny. So...if you've gotten one of my eggs (this is probably all of you) I'm still really sorry lol

At least I get the prize! And my pretty shiny goth flower. Perhaps next month will be more fun.

[Leorobin]

Guess who was browsing the shelter and finally found a Floral Togepi? Thanks, RA8 and saino!

Grats, I got one from shelter, bred it to get the egg entry in the pokedex and then released both. I just checked and they both got picked up by someoneelse ^^ So that's good.

My SWSH is at 203 eggs and counting. I guess I spoiled my shiny luck by getting a shiny on the only egg I got before reset. Oh well, it will go into the pending list with chimchar, staryu and golett.. And a couple of others legendaries and novelties I really have no expectations on getting soon. Might drop one or two if they don't pop out to clear slots in my shine recorder. I'll try unitl the last minute of course :P

[Asbel Lhant]

I've been slacking on the explorations this month. I was on vacation for the first half of the month and didn't get time to start any. I've been sick with the flu ever since I got home from vacation so my energy has been lacking. I finally decided to get my butt into gear and started The Hidden Ruins.

This little lady wants some berries:

I'm hoping to get this exploration done so I can get started on my second one for the month. I'll be going after another Zygarde in hopes that one day I'll get a shiny legend from an exploration.

EDIT:

Regirock hatched normal, poo xD.

This little one needs some Sour berries to get rid of a freezing problem:

It's a bookstore, like Borders or Barnes & Noble. Just a different name with a slightly different selection because of branding.

OHHHH Now I get it
Thank you for explaining it to me!
That's a pretty cool store name actually.

------------------------

I can't find my swsh shiny for this month.... I'm running out of time. >_>

Same here ^^; Hope to find it before I head to bed but I fear the worst.

--------------------------

You and me both, Yggdrasil. You and me both. *eek*

Me three XD

-------------------------

TL;DR Does anyone have an idea for a Christmas present that can remind anyone of the magic?

What I think of when I think of xmas is... snow (and snowmen), hot choco, food, and the tree.
So maybe you could make him a food in the shape of a snowman?

(This is coming from an Atheist who lives in a country where they don't do the prezzies thing.)

[Cryptic Lyric]

You're welcome, Luneon!

I don't think I'm getting Budew today. 413 eggs so far, and nothing. At least I got Hawlucha and Anorith already.
And I did manage to find some Cranidos eggs in the shelter earlier. I will have to work more seriously on that hunt soon.

[Sleeppari]

This SWSH has been awful to me. Usually with 1k+ eggs you got at least 2 shinies, this time I have got only 1. That one I got yesterday so I only have had this one day to hatch another. Sigh. Haven't got it and I guess I won't.

Well I'm happy I at least got the one to be able to obtain the prizes..

Today is my second last workday, tomorrow I have to return my keys and other stuff to the workplace. Feels a bit empty, I've been working there last 2 years. I have made a new contract with another employer but there's been no sign from them after that and I'm bit worried there won't be any work to do.

We'll see.

[Indigo Sapphire]

I got my shiny Budew yesterday, literally the last day on the SWSH (ironically, I also got my Shiny Ekans on the last day of the July SWSH). I cried just a little whoops.

I've basically been shiny hunting non-stop since July (I tend to do shiny hunts during assessment periods at school so I'm not completely inactive here) so I've started an exploration to celebrate the end of my shiny hunting woes. ~

[Asbel Lhant]

Well I finished both of my explorations today. I finished The Hidden Ruins in my fastest time yet so I'm happy about that. The Order of Terminus Cave wasn't too bad, except for the last task. I found every Pokemon in the shelter except for the Noivern so I had to level up a Noibat from scratch. I have 205 Shelter grabs I won't use, lol.

It is October where I am right now, the month of September just flew past. My niece started school this year and I can't believe she has nearly a month in. Work has been steadily picking up, so I'm getting quite exhausted. One of my coworkers decided she was going to stay on vacation for another week so my weekend is probably ruined. I really hope someone comes in for a few hours, I don't want to handle 12 hours when I'm sick.

[Yggdrasil]

Ended up hatching over 600 eggs for this swsh, 186 of which I did today and ended up with no shiny. Sad now....
