Hooray for a new Contributor!

I bet LightKunai will do a great job!

I noticed the new Item that November SWSH winners received!

I wonder if it gives what I think it does?

I hope it works!

Excited to see the prize we get! :]

Thank you Admins, Mods, & Contributors for all your hard work!

November always seems to go by fast, since most of it is already holiday preparations!
Didn't get a Site-Wide shiny this month but I'll keep going with my hunt. Last year I missed the shiny for November as well, but kept going and hatched it Christmas morning!
Congrats to all those who finished in time happy.gif

Tapu time!!
Gonna have to choose whether I'd like Lele or Fini. Both have great designs.

It's sad that the 3DS is coming to an end, but it was a fun ride and I hope the Switch will bring joy for just as long.

Totally forgot about the SWSH halfway through...whoops. Congrats to LightKunai! Looks like I'll be going foro the CatDog trio this month.

Congrats for anyone who hatched their shiny!

Do we know if we're doing to Secret Santa Exchange this year as well? I have the perfect pokemon to gift someone this year! <3

I love the reward for the SWSH!! (runs to buy the other 2 for the other 2 eggs)

Ahh man, 3DS WiFi is shutting down? Well, hope I can get that shiny Torkoal before January, because I really want to use a shiny Torkoal on this AS playthrough + the only game I have the Shiny Charm on is X.


Welcome, LightKunai, and congratulations to everyone who hatched their shiny! I'm still going....unsurprisingly.

Welcome and congrats to LightKunai as Contributor!

Hope everyone enjoys the SWSH prize!

Yes, I enjoy sword and shield. Although there are some problems with these games, I like the design of new pokemon.
Hope to see those new pokemon soon.

Wow, December already! Congrats to LightKunai and all SWSH winners. I love the new additions to the site!

I was wondering if there's any news on the Twelve Days of Christmas exploration? Will it become available this year? Perhaps on the 13th? It's the last explo I need for Insatiably Curious ! happy.gif

I would love another spriting contest. Even though I'm sure not many people would participate

The 3DS wi-fi isn't shutting down, don't worry. The Global Pokémon Link is. That's the mystery gifts thing, so no more mystery gifts for 3ds but you can still use the other internet features happy.gif

Hello, uh, a few people are wondering if the Christmas Explorations will be activated.

Maybe if I post here asking about them it will be seen?

Posted by: Predat0rs Dec 14 2019, 02:12 PM

Definitely a great month thus far.

I sure hope so, one of those explorations is the last requirement for my last remaining achievement...

Never mind. Sorry.
