Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ News and Updates _ Month of August (2014)

Posted by: Commander Wymsy Jul 31 2014, 06:26 PM


Why is it August again already?!


There's this thing about August where Nick and Jeff were both born during it. Jeff at the beginning and Nick somewhere in the middle. Who told these two that they were allowed to be born during the same month?

Are you enjoying 6th gen? I hope you're enjoying 6th gen.

Here are the Special Explorations for this month which you must choose wisely from:

Guardians - Lake Trio
Beneath the Frozen Forest - Kyurem
Mansion of Gods - Kami Trio

Posted by: Icicle Jul 31 2014, 10:55 PM

I knew August held some sort of importance on here.
Happy Birthday guys!

Posted by: Stark Coyote Jul 31 2014, 10:56 PM

I cannot wait! grin.gif Cheers and love the explorations for this month. Happy early birthdays to Jeffy & Nicky.

Posted by: Darth Krytie Jul 31 2014, 10:56 PM

Happy Birfday Jeff and Nick. August babies are the best babies. grin.gif (I should know) Looking forward to all that August will bring.

Posted by: Manticore Jul 31 2014, 10:56 PM

Maybe I'll finally unlazy enough to finish TBD and do a monthly.

Or maybe I'll just keep playing ffxiv...

Yay for Lake Trio! I can finally get all of them. Happy birthday to you too, guys!

What was the prize for the SWSH, out of blatant curiosity?

Posted by: Celes Chere Jul 31 2014, 11:07 PM

Happy Birthday! =D

I'll be attempting The Kami Trio and Kyurem. I still need to evolve him into Black Kyurem. That's after I finish July though. =/

a Saltwater Bucket.....whatever that is

Posted by: Margo Jul 31 2014, 11:09 PM

Happy birthday!

Definitely going for the lake trio this month, not sure yet about the other exploration.

I'm also looking forward to finding out what the Saltwater Bucket is for :P It sounds... promising.

Posted by: Obsidian Shadow Jul 31 2014, 11:11 PM

Happy birthdays Jeff and Nick! <3 I figured out what pokemon the shiny hunt reward works on! I can only assume it works on ones that have been bred after the item was introduced though.

Saltwater Bucket (Special Evolution Item) and 60-is Prize Points for Malachites who hatched a shiny. Idk about other affinities...

EDIT: Oh and happy bday to Jeff and Nick!! ^-^

Hey, my birthday's in August too. Yay. Happy birthday you too.

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L Jul 31 2014, 11:14 PM

Never mind. I have no idea how to get the new novelty though...

Posted by: Letan Jul 31 2014, 11:17 PM

Happy birthday Nick and Jeff!

Given it apparently has 3 stages of evolution, but the swsh prize is a special evolution item, I'm guessing the saltwater bucket has to be used to change an egg?

Posted by: Galahawk Jul 31 2014, 11:26 PM

Probably not gonna do any special explos this month but hey, gen 6 is fun so far!

That would be correct.

Posted by: Amberfunk Jul 31 2014, 11:29 PM

Well this looks like an interesting novelty. Now just to figure out how to get it.

Posted by: budokai z Jul 31 2014, 11:32 PM

more info. it is a ground dragon type.

Posted by: Gambrinous Antiscian Jul 31 2014, 11:33 PM

Hint: Sharks.

I'll leave the rest to you guys. wink.gif

Can't wait to see what it is when it's working! grin.gif

Posted by: nokrow889 Jul 31 2014, 11:36 PM

Posted by: Wraenna Jul 31 2014, 11:36 PM

The eggs probably have to be bred after the item was introduced, which means that most eggs you find in the lab or shelter right now won't work as they're too old.

Posted by: Chewsky Jul 31 2014, 11:49 PM

Happy Birthday to Jeff and Nick grin.gif

and interested to see what this reward does

Posted by: Gryphaena Jul 31 2014, 11:50 PM

Happy Birthday oh Admins! New Novelty? Intriguing.

Posted by: Bobdapeach Jul 31 2014, 11:52 PM

my little MH heart was hoping the new novelty would be based off Zamtrios but after seeing the PC sprite for it i don't think it will be.

I shed a tear rip me 1995-2014

Posted by: Rhapsody Jul 31 2014, 11:52 PM

The item doesn't work for some reason. Once Jeff/Big Bidoof wakes up he'll probably fix it. Hopefully. For now, enjoy the pretty bucket in your inventory.

Posted by: Ava of Lavender Town Jul 31 2014, 11:53 PM

Oh yes, the trios again. I need to build up on the fifth gen legendaries.

And happy birthday to Nick and Jeff!

Posted by: Staz Jul 31 2014, 11:59 PM

I don't know if you have understand this, but the item have to be used on a Gible egg.

Edit : Oh yes it can't be used.

Posted by: the1stpkmnfan Aug 1 2014, 12:24 AM

Yaaaay! Now I can get the last of the Kami trio and complete my Gen 5 Legendary collection. That is, until I can get Black and White Kyreum. Thanks!! grin.gif

And yes I love the Gen 6 Pokemon on the site. Hope some achievements come in soon, too.

Also happy berpsday to Nick and Jeff~

Posted by: Synx Itax Aug 1 2014, 01:00 AM

I managed to corrupt my egg finally, and it was bred well before reset. happy.gif

Posted by: Kari ShadowWolf Aug 1 2014, 01:05 AM

Yaay we can finally get the novelty~~ cat.gif

Posted by: Teen Bulma Aug 1 2014, 01:08 AM

Yaaay

I'm glad we figured out what egg etc before I had to go to sleep XD it was driving me nutssss! I wanna see ittt omgyay.gif

Posted by: Redtha Aug 1 2014, 01:08 AM

Happy birthday! grin.gif

Two of the explorations I still need to do (6 and 3 more times each), awesome.

Now that the SWSH's over I can finally focus on working on 6th gen. Gotta remember to get the new novelty as well.

Kinda disappointed though because I was hoping we'd get the 11th trinket set this month. :/

Posted by: budokai z Aug 1 2014, 02:01 AM

QUOTE(MiyukoKaioh @ Aug 1 2014, 01:46 AM) *
I'm still confused that the hint "Sharks" leads to this Pokémon and not to the real shark Pokémon, but well ^^;.

gible is a landshark. and if you look at the typing it makes sense. the new novelty is dragon and ground.


EDIT: also, i hope that mega stones are added again this month pinch.gif i want my mega gardevoir...

Posted by: budokai z Aug 1 2014, 02:20 AM

looking at kari's new ekralyp...
that is so adorably derp.

Posted by: StukAktuZ Aug 1 2014, 02:56 AM

Finally, my tiny little baby shark meep works and is ready fo you to adopt it =D

So well, here it is, a Gible/Gabite/Garchomp aquatic cousin from the arctic. Because it will soon be Shark Week. Also, they are based off a certain kind of seaplanes. You'll hear more from these little guys, I promise wink.gif

Bonus content: Old Sugimori-style watercolor artwork. Meep.

Posted by: Draikette Aug 1 2014, 03:43 AM

New novelty is so cute and pathetic! I'm gonna die! <3

Posted by: Manah Aug 1 2014, 04:00 AM

I hope we'll be able to get more buckets somehow, I want all stages noes.gif

Happy birthdays Jeff and Nick!
This month I'm gonna get Mesprit and Tornadus that I still need even though I need White Kyurem too but that's gonna have to wait I guess

Posted by: Lodrelhai Aug 1 2014, 05:55 AM

The dex info on ekalyp says it's non-gendered, but mine is a girl.

Yep, it's a pretty much a glitch, there are some typos as well, and Jeff still didn't come back to fix them.
They're definitely supposed to be genderless.

Same here, so many megas left to get. I am too OCD about completing my dex.. gotta catch 'em all!


Posted by: Creampuff Aug 1 2014, 06:26 AM

um on my egg page when I click the exploration it says I've already done 2 for the month of August, and I haven't.

Posted by: Margo Aug 1 2014, 07:13 AM

What does it say? "You've already embarked on your two special explorations of the month" (or something along those lines)? Because yeah, then you can't do any anymore.

Posted by: Furfrou Aug 1 2014, 07:18 AM

I'm happy it's August for personal reasons. My husband will be returning from military tour soon cat.gif

Posted by: SilverLugia456 Aug 1 2014, 07:59 AM

yay, Happy Birthday Jeff and early happy birthday to Nick

can't wait to see how the SWSH reward will be used ;3

Posted by: Mamanator Aug 1 2014, 09:15 AM

Happy Birthday Nick and Jeff! August sure was a busy month for a lot of moms. LOL My husband and daughter have birthday's just days apart this month, too.

I want to thank the Novelty egg spoilers in here. The clues were lost on me so I really appreciated being directed towards the right Lab Grab next chance I get. love.gif Hopefully they'll bring the novelty item to the Shop sooner as opposed to later. I wouldn't mind spending some points to getting a couple extra. grin.gif

Explorations, explorations, explorations.... I'm still hunting 2 previous SWSH eggies. *eek* But I'll probably do the two Trio options if opportunity presents itself. August is a busy month for me where I lose a week of internet connectivity what with my work having the business meeting and I have to sit down for 8 hrs straight taking notes on what everyone is saying. Joy of joys! rolleyes.gif Here's hoping I can get both in before then though. *crosses fingers*


*EDIT*

Ugh! These are the hard explorations! I so don't like my choices this month. I guess I'll just do the first two and hope for the best. Have I mentioned how I hate battling in these explorations? *smirk* I'm going to embark here shortly on the Mansion of the Gods. I might be liking that battle chance more than the other battles.

Posted by: Tyranisaur Aug 1 2014, 10:22 AM

Another thing you can do to find out what is evolved by an item is to search for it in the evolutions field in the dex. Assuming everything is updated and all, which it is now.

Posted by: Redtha Aug 1 2014, 05:41 PM

Finished my two special explorations for the month so now all I can fully concentrate on 6th gen and the new novelty. Still hoping we'll get the 11th trinket set this month. Or if we only get them at the beginning of a month then hopefully next month.

Posted by: Silberchen Aug 2 2014, 02:33 AM

Here I go again forgetting about the SWSH reward, but I got my egg now. I haven't gotten a good look at all evolutions yet, but this one is a /real/ novelty compared to the seasonal/elemental variations. xD

Sixth Gen is really taking off too, love seeing all the shinies starting to come around. Again, way to go on the sprites.

Posted by: Sliggoo Aug 2 2014, 02:36 PM

August = School soon. noes.gif Welp, enjoy summer as it lasts!

Happy B-Day Nicky and Jefferson!

I'm gonna go with Kyurem and The Lake Trio...

Otherwise, I am LOVING Gen6! Great fantastic egg and pokemon sprites!

Posted by: Eiri Yuki Aug 2 2014, 05:40 PM

I can't wait! I wish there was a way to block the new sprites though...I don't want to see the new ones yet... sad.gif
Kinda like instead of "mask unobtained trinkets", "mask unobtained pokemon".

Posted by: Yuni Aug 2 2014, 07:55 PM

Now that I've seen the novelty, I REALLY hope they put the corruption item in the shop sooner rather than later. *sigh* Adoraderpy. Always the adoraderpy ones I miss. XD

Posted by: Swizzle Aug 3 2014, 09:36 AM

Happy birthday, Nick and Jeff!! I hope y'all have a wonderful time this month. happy.gif

I really appreciate all the hard work the spriters gave on the 6th gen sprites and the SWSH reward Pokemon. 6th gen has lassoed me back into the swing of things again and now there's a heck of a lot more stuff to hunt!

Posted by: Kirvee Aug 3 2014, 01:30 PM

I really wish someone (or a few people) would shiny hunt Patrat so I can finally get off this exploration task I've been on for two days. Lots of Watchogs and other rodent Pokemon in the Safari, but NOT THE ONES I NEED.

*shakes hands in choking motion*

And thank you for 6th Gen! Love it konata.gif

Posted by: Cynder88 Aug 9 2014, 03:27 AM

Happy Birthday to me woot.gif ! Finished the Keldeo exploration from last month, think I'll take a break from explorations this month. I just completed my Magikarp magikarp.gif shiny hunt on the 40th egg lol.gif , and I named it "Birthday Medal". Gen 6 looks amazing clap.gif , thanks so much for implementing it! ^_^.gif

Posted by: ChibiNinja Aug 14 2014, 12:58 PM

I seem to be having a harder and harder time finishing these special explorations lately. Getting these specific Pokemon at specific (usually 40+) levels each time is a real pain...

Posted by: The Majestic Mr L Aug 18 2014, 07:40 AM

I felt it would be proper to say congrats on the actual date, sooo Happy Birthday Zerxer!
