May Community Thread!

The April 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!

I've noticed there is a lack of a specific Pokémon needed for an exploration in the safari zone... So I have *ahem* taken it upon myself to breed and hatch, and release them so others won't struggle with the task. Also hi everyone, glad to be back.

[Snowsky]

Also hi everyone, glad to be back.

Welcome back!

Looks like the new SWSH is up. Who's everyone voting for this time? I threw my hat in for Snorunt, Illumise, and Spheal.

I always vote for Snorunt but it never seems to quite get there. Maybe this time.

Patiently waiting for Honey+ to fill up so I can knock off one more Mega Stone. Somehow I still don't have them all. Seven more to go.

i just picked some that looked pretty - swablu, starly, and spoink! shiny starly is kind of bland but i love a lot of the bird pokemon.

in other news, i'm debating on whether or not i'm going to buy a second mod and tank for vaping next time i'm paid...

[Iustinus Tempus]

Hello dudes, I got a question. I tired to vote in the State-Wide Shiny Hunt and it tells me this: "You aren't eligible to vote! To be able to vote, you must have registered before the vote opened, validate your account, and become a member."

What exactly am I doing wrong because, as far as I can tell, I have done all of those.

You need to make 10 posts in order to be counted as a Member. Currently, you only have one post. So keep posting on the forums.

You can also get all the 'Newbie' achievements if you can't find ten posts to make.

Thanks dudes.

I used always vote for Snorunt, Solrock and Larvesta. But I know it's gonna be just Alolan Pokémon for the rest of 2017, so I'm not bothering to vote. Maybe I should just hunt those three myself

you are a hero

If I get some of yours I will make sure I release them as soon as I can, I have Heart Scales to spare

[Kazuko Himura]

Holy crap, all of the YGO fans showing up today!

Works been (mind)crushing me (*coughironycougH*) but will be able to do stuff via my phone.

Am working on building my own computer, shipping it to my house part by part.

Anyways, GPX stuff:

SWSH Votes: Minior, Alolan Vulpix, Mimikyu

Event aiming for: Fake Groudon (I know there's mystery mons but those would have easier accessibility!)

Explorations: Meloetta and Reshiaram/Zekrom

[Eponadis]

Patiently waiting for Honey+ to fill up so I can knock off one more Mega Stone. Somehow I still don't have them all. Seven more to go.

I'm still missing 19 of those mega stones... Long way to go.
Maybe I will have all by Christmas ^^°

Can't wait to see what this weeks poke hunt will be.

[eevee64]

Voted for alohan grimer, alohan vulpix and kabuto for the shiny hunt. What did you guys vote for?

I voted for Tepig, Basculin Red and Magby. I also doubt that anything that's not a gen 7 Pokemon will get chosen, but those are old cancelled hunts of mine I want to finish :P I'm in a bit of a shiny drought at the moment...only hatched one in the last two months! So I'm willing to hunt anything to change that haha.

[Running On Ice]

I actually went with three Gen 7 Pokemon. It's just that it's been getting hard for me to choose these things because I already have most of them.

[PokeNOM NOM NOM]

May is here! \o/
I have some fun things planned in May - I'll be visiting the Harry Potter exposition that's now in the Netherlands, with actual objects from the movies. Looking forward to it! I also have a team outing with my colleagues - it's still a surprise what we'll be doing, but I suspect laser games will be part of it! Excited about that.

For this month's SWSH, I voted for Snorunt, Castform and Minior [Meteor].
I need multiple shinies of all three, so it would be great to hunt those during a SWSH.

This guy could use a dry berry:

[Gym Leader Clay]

My God, I don't know what to vote for :'( I might just hold back because its probably just gonna be a bunch of alola Pokemon and I'm cool with that.

So jealous of u all who have seen gotg2, I hope I can watch it :'(

[The Majestic Mr ...]

It's May.

This month. This month.

Birthday on the 23rd, Overwatch's 1 year anniversary on the 24th, new Pirates of the Caribbean movie on the 26th.

I cannot WAIT.

[KatTheBard]

Might be more active for the first part of the month, sick leave will do that to you...

I see some votes for Snorunt so I'll back that. Other than that, idk?

I think I'm going to do the exploration for Diancie and hold out for mystery slots for the distribution...

[Amberfunk]

Hope you feel better Kat!

I didn't realize the new pirates movie was coming out this month. Super excited. I would love to go see it in theaters. Alien covenant also comes out this month and I know for sure that we are going to see that.

[RicFule]

I don't really care which pokemon are going to be the SWSH pokemon, since I only need six Shards spread out over four Plates: 2 with 1 Shard left, 2 with 2 Shards left.

As for the distribution? I'm not going to intentionally lock myself for the 2 Mystery pokemon even though it it very likely that they will be new Alola pokemon. With everyone who WILL be locking themselves, and the lower chances of getting one with the drop from 350 to 200, it might mean I don't end up getting any of them.

And also? I HAD missed one of the Daily pokemon in Shuffle, but I ended up catching it. As well as all the new ones for this week. And I ended up getting a Vulpix for checking in. No clue why. But I was lucky and caught the escalation Incineroar at level 7. I'm still playing that level though, so I can get the prizes.

I am hoping my local Fox channel will be back on DirecTv by tonight. I missed last night's episode of Gotham because of it. But tonight is Prison Break. And while it's possible I might be able to catch the Gotham episode in a second airing, since Prison Break is a limited, it's not very probable they will air the episode a second time.

[Natsume Reiko]

I put up a vote for minior because I'm sadistic like that- the other two were totally random. I'm okay with that though haha. I need tons of stardust and colorful cores so yeaaah.

[hibibun]

This will the first SWSH I'll be on the site for when it starts as I actually made an account a long time ago, but forgot about it up until mid march when the Oricorio was already under way. I wish I peeked here before I voted as Cutiefly was the only one I felt strongly about in my list. I threw in Murkrow and Sandygast because I had them in mind for future shiny hunts I want, but a shiny Froslass if I was lucky enough to hatch a female would have been cool.

As for this month I guess I'll just keep trying to plug through explorations and achievements. I'd love to try and do some of the special explorations, but I'm short on requirements so maybe I'll just continue attempting to get the badge achievements in the meantime. Also, maybe the two shiny hunts I've been working on for a Kingdra and Wooper, but honestly I'm looking forward to the SWSH as a little break from balancing those two.

Alolan Vulpix, because I want a second one
Wooper, because wynaut
Phione, because.... it's cute xD

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

I always vote for Snorunt but it never seems to quite get there. Maybe this time.

I vote for Snorunt a lot, too! I'm in need of a Shiny Froslass.

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

:P If everyone votes snorunt then hey it might even be picked.
You should always vote, even if it's just for fun.
After all, it only takes 30 secs.

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

I have some fun things planned in May - I'll be visiting the Harry Potter exposition that's now in the Netherlands, with actual objects from the movies. Looking forward to it!

I've actually been there, it's pretty cool. There's also a lot of stuff you can only see from certain perspectives so be sure to take your time.
The goods are super expensive, though!! So if you want some, bring as much cash as you would if you were to go to a con.

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

[Snowsky]

Diancie's coming! Good luck, everyone!

I'm keeping my party full until May 6. Hoping for Tapu Lele.
