April is a very special month for site-creator Zerxer and myself. We are having had a baby! To celebrate the occasion, we're hosting a similar event to the Valentine/Anniversary event where you hatch eggs of specific Pokémon to collect an event item, which you'll be able to exchange for prizes.
Happy birthday, Jen! Thank you for all that you went through to bring our beautiful daughter in to this world.
What a surprise! Didn't expect this event! Congrats to you both on your daughter!!!!
I really enjoy these hatching events, and I need a lot of babies for my shiny dex, so this is great!
Congrats!
Hey, that's awesome! I hope your little family grows well and you all live happily!
I noticed the boosts jump in right before getting off-site and heading to bed, so I waited around to see what was going on. Glad to see I wasn't just going a bit crazy!
Side note: I'm definitely hitting that part of my life where everybody around me is starting to or has already gotten married and are having kids... Man, time flies (and I feel like an old fart in a way).
Ohhh congrats on the baby!! I wish you all much health and happiness!
And happy birthday to Jen!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAY!!!
I love birthdays! It's like, the most important day of your life because it IS, literally, the start of your NEW YEAR.
Like I can be somewhat lazy for other festivities, but BIRTHDAYS?!?!?!
I LOVE THEM.
SO CONGRAAAATS!
I really, REALLY hope you get to hear the birthday song I posted in Discord, and hopefully Nick will blast it off when you wake up!
...
Wait.
Uhhh, maybe blasting it off might not be a good idea because of Zoey, BUT at least play it a little loud for the Mexican experience!
And now on a more selfish note (I'M REALLY SORRY!)
Also I can't wait to try to get that Chatotiel too!
And on an even MORE selfish note...
DID SOMEONE SAID HATCHING EVENT?!?!?!?!?
SIMILAR TO THE ANNIVERSARY EVENT?!?!?!?!?
DOES THIS MEAN I CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO MY BLUE SOUP?!?!?!?!
OMG OMG OMG OMG YES YES YES YES PLEASE PLEASE
May I suggest adding Blue Magikarp and Pink Magikarp to the pool?
Why? Well, because those colors were used for babies after all! The sex doesn't matter, since Pink was used for boys and Blue for girls first, and then swapped around, and Magikarp IS a nice Pokemon since just look at it:
They grow and train and when you least expect it they turn into a Gyarados, and they don't look alike, just like how we go through puberty (and then adulthood)! ; W;
So, I'm just throwing the suggestion here. Also because I love chaotic events and hatching events are GREAT, BUT I understand if you guys don't want to, it's no biggie!
Anyway, CONGRATS AGAIN JEN! And, AGAIN, congrats Nick and Jen! And welcome Zoey!
Edited again, but now with a list of maturity for all the baby Pokemon so far! ('Cause we still miss the Karps.... Maybe? -wink wink nudge nudge-)
Congratulations on the most wonderful news of your growing family!
Happy birthday Jen! and congrats on the baby!
Happy birthday, and happy literal birth-day! Looking forward to the event! =]
Oh I had no idea! Neat! Looking forward to this, which I assume is on top of Scav hunt?
And congrats on the baby too! Really hope to see some pictures soon
Happy birthday, Jen! And congratulations to you both! As a parent of a crazy toddler myself, it is the most amazing thing in the world being a parent, and yes, also the hardest! I hope everything went well for you all, and you have an easy recovery, Jen!
Happy birthday Jen! Congrats on your little girl!
Thanks for the event!
Happy birthday, Jen; and congratulations to you as well as Nick on becoming parents!
Happy Birthday to Jen and congratulations to you both on becoming parents!
Happy birthday Jen! Enjoy the special day with Zoey and Nick
Thanks for the event too!
I wanted to say something but I was waiting for the official announcement, haha.
I'm so so happy for you guys! Congratulations to you both, and happy birthday Jen! I wish you, Zoey, and Nick the best.

A huge congratulations for the new baby, and happy Birthday, Jen!
Looks like I got on and cleared out my party just in time. Good luck on the distribution today, everyone!
Happy birthday Jen! Good health, safety, and happiness to your whole family!
Have a nice baby!
This should be a good opportunity to get some traction on this Wynaut hunt - easily the most neglected baby of the bunch.
Happy Birthday Jen!
Actually got a shiny event creature! I was shocked aaaa
HOLY SHIT GUYS CONGRATULATIONS!
I never imagined when I joined this site that 10 years later we'd still be on here and some of us would have little rugrat pokenerds. Time is amazing.
Thank you, everyone!
Not the most exciting birthday since I've been recovering, but the baby is so precious, and she's been so very good!
Rookie, I'm going to add your list to the first post. Thanks for compiling it! Nick played all the youtube videos that were linked in the discord that night for me, too. Thank you!
UPDATE:
This event is similar to several of our past hatch-based events, however I built an entirely new system for it, one that allows us to easily manage these events in our admin panel vs me having to edit code directly every time.
On top of that, these events will now use Coins, similar to the Dreidel event (the dreidel is not active, though). Because of that, everyone's Coin stat has been reset to 0 again.
Finally, to earn prizes, there will be a brand new section in the shop called Event Shop where you will spend your Coins on prizes. We've also introduced the idea of limits through a "Stock" -- this stock is per-user, rather than site-wide the way the Backroom works. This section of the shop is not yet available on the mobile site, but I plan to add it.
This is a brand new system that I built out yesterday and today, so it's practically a beta. If you get any errors or see any weirdness, please let me know! I will likely be making updates to it over the event, such as adding more information to the top of the Event Shop and adding something to the notifications in the header.
For events like this, the Event Shop will remain active for 1 full month after the actual event ends. So you will have a month (all of May) to make sure you spend your coins before the shop goes away and your coins get reset.
Hope you all enjoy!
I'm interested in how this new event system works I'm also glad it's easier to manage now.
Thank you for your hard work, Nick.
Not to say too much, but these rewards... They're extremely good!
Oh Zerx, I just saw what is in our little event shop and just <333
Thank you, so so much. I'm so excited to play my heart out for those top prizes.
And congrats on your new little one!
Sewaddle has been added to the list due to the amount of times we've swaddled our baby already.
Just a heads-up, the new pokémon added in this event (not spoiling what it is, check the shop and you'll see it!) could be included in this list too.
Last I checked, that pokémon was considered a baby pokémon by the games just like most of the list, and it's inevitable we'll see more eggs of it (other people will probably get their own and breed/shiny hunt it during the event anyway). Might as well give them another reason to do that
I like it. Finally, a true contest for tryhards with some nice stuff for everyone. Though I will miss the allure of mystery prizes... I wonder if this same coin system will still be used for Hanukkah? Will the coin counter be reset between events, or could you save coins for future events?
Bless you, Nick, this is so much! A whole new event system in 2021! Wasn't expecting that.
Now I have to tryhard to get the shiny novelty voucher and end my suffering with this Magma Totodile hunt, it's literally on 666 eggs, it is cursed
congrats you two <3
Congrats!
Happy belated birthday, Mama (Jen)! I am so! happy for you and Nick! That is such wonderful news!
Thank you for sharing your special delivery with us by this event. I just tuned in to it now (work has been ca-raaaaaa-zeee) which is why I missed your birthday earlier.
Love to you three!
I love this event! Congratulations on your newborn, and happy belated birthday Jen, what a special time! This event seems like such a nice way to celebrate and also share joy with others. Thank you!!!
Congrats!
I just tried buying a Toxel. I have 51 coins, and open space in my party. I select Toxel Egg, select how many I would like to buy (1), and select "yes" when it asks "are you sure?"
It keeps telling me "Invalid prize selected."
I think I'm the only person on the planet who considers Phione a baby Pokemon
Omgoodness, congrats you two!! Also, happy belated birthday Jen!
sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but the event shop seems to be bugged. Each item I try to buy comes up as 'invalid prize selected'.
Also pokemon sprites aren't visible in the PC
Seconding the "invalid prize selection" bug, and if it helps to solve it faster, I'd like to point out that the "how many would you like to buy?" popup tells me it costs 50 points (not coins) and tells me that I have 563,334 points available (which is not accurate to my coins, 82, nor my actual points, 28.17M). In fact, I don't see any statistic on the site that I have 563,334 in, as far as I can tell.
congrats and happy birthday!
Yeah, the "Invalid prize selected" is because your browser is still using an outdated shop.js file (that "How many?" popup shouldn't be there either, for example, but the outdated file doesn't know how to treat this new section).
A hard refresh or manually clearing your browser cache would've fixed it, however I put in a cache bust now (just a little extra query param at the end of the shop.js url to trick your browser in to thinking it's a different file, and load the latest copy).
So you all should be good to buy prizes now!
Am super excited about the new system! ^^
And just realized this event is the perfect time for me to hunt Mime Jr.!
Nick and Jen, I'm so happy for you. Your daughter is beautiful and I wish you all the happiness in the world. <3
Im not active on the forums a lot, unfortunately, but just wanted to say that those events are really awesome .
And congrats on the new baby (:
Hey guys I'm confused. I am hatching eggs (mostly togi & pichu) and not all the Pokemon that I hatch have coins. Is that normal for this type of event? Also HELLO AGAIN!!!! It's been forever since I have been back really. Nice to see you all again!!!!!!
I am having the very slight problem with the correct amount of coins I've earned showing. I'm not sure if it is a cache issue or not but my actual points work fine; it's just for each pokemon that I am notified of a coin, I only show having 2 coins.
I started the event late, so I haven't lost a goldmine, but if anyone has the answer
Happy Belated Birthday - Congrats on your bundle! - Thank you
Congrats on the baby ♥
Question: Why is Phanpy in the list? It isn't a baby pokemon.
(Same with Sewaddle, but I saw the reason why it was added ♥ ^^)
According to my calculations I'll need 4220 coins to get everything I want, and I'm almost halfway there! yay
The event shop is now available on the mobile website. You'll see a new "Event Shop" tab on the bottom of the page when you're on the Shop section of the mobile site.
On the non-mobile website, an amulet coin icon is now present in the top right notifications, above the Pass Counter. This will be present when an event like this is active, will tell you how many coins you currently have, and clicking on it will take you to the event shop.
drat. I saved up for a shiny novelty voucher but not all novelties are listed there ;A; (I was doing it purely to get a shiny zergoose so I could turn it into its feral form.) Now I have to rethink my pick XD are there plans on adding a shiny novelty voucher plus with the admin pokemon?
I wanted to give a big thanks for the new event shop! It has been so, so helpful to see all of the prizes available and the coins needed for each ahead of time in order to plan out enough time to participate to get the prizes I want. I don't think I'll be able to get EVERYTHING I want, but I should at least be on track to get my very most wanted prize (shiny legend voucher to finally get my beloved shiny Articuno!)
Congratulations on your new arrival x
Even with me putting in my maximum effort I don't think i'm gonna get enough coins for the SHiny Legend Voucher Plus, as a good chunk of eggs did not yield coins.
BUT I did hatch 4 shiny babies and a shiny darkrai so maybe it'll be alright settling for a Sh. Voucher. I just feel for the future we should be able to either save our coins or the event should guarantee coins instead of possibly not having coins.
Question about Shiny Voucher Eggs. If I corrupt one, will the new novelty egg be shiny too?
Edit: Thank You
Tried to go for higher vouchers but didn't have the time. Sad part is I'm only 24 coins away from the sh. voucher plus.
I thought the event shop was open till the end of May?
i was SO CLOSE to getting a prize. i had 598 coins. then when i hatched the last two eggs, BAM. site reset. i ended up doing all that work for NOTHING.
After a last-minute push in the last few hours of the event, I managed to JUST squeak over 700 coins. So I'll be able to get my Shiny Legendary Voucher Plus, an N-Lunarizer to be able to get that Necrozma form for my dex, and 57 extra coins to do something with. I'm thankful that we have a month to decide, since it will probably take me a month to decide, LOL.
"Coins are earned through the current event, so be sure to read the latest announcement to know all the details"
Just wondering, do coins reset on each event like the halloween/valentines ones, or can we save them up?
I wonder, would it be possible to add something to the Event store that costs 1 coin? It drives me sorta bonkers that I can end up with an uneven amounts of coins but everything in the prize shop is in 5s and 10s. Since we can't carry over coins between events nor are we guaranteed coins on hatches it seems kinda extra unfair somebody could waste up to 4 coins with each event.
I had this problem with the Easter/V-Day/Halloween tickets. No matter how well I math I'm stuck with an uneven number of tickets in my inventory until the event resets and then they're gone. I can't sell them off either. They're as bad as the Slowpoke Tails I keep getting from scratch cards and have no use for.
Even if the 1 coin prize was something incredibly silly like one of the VS Seeker items or a trinket box or something common like that, I'd be glad for it. Anything to not waste coins!
Edit: Forgot to say though that I did really enjoy the event and am really excited for future ones regardless. This would just make them even better imo.
I like that 1 coin one idea, I'm the same way and like to get rid of the extra lol. Maybe 1 one coin equals one regular point?
This was so much fun though! And 'll be honest, I like this method better then the Hannukuh event's structure - probably because it's less competitive? Like, it gives everyone a chance to go for the prize they want the most, without having to compete against some of the more hardcore players to get into a top slot which is extremely difficult.
And that's coming from someone who often is in those top slots. But it's because I tend to set down my entire life for two weeks to vy for it lol. It also tends to result in a *lot* of burn out. It's like that Avengers meme.
"What did it cost you?"
Me, sobbing as she holds her broken wrist: EVERYTHING
I joke, mostly, but xD I just wanted to throw my two cents in there just for general consideration.
Yes, good suggestion. I'll add something. Probably regular point conversion.
