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.

December Egg Distribution!


How to get an egg from this eventIMPORTANT EVENT NOTES
  1. No, you do NOT have to be online at the time I am sending out eggs.
  2. These eggs do NOT show up in the Lab for the event. They are sent out randomly.
  3. There is ONE set shiny for each Pokémon, but every other egg has a regular chance of being shiny.
  4. If you obtain ONE of the eggs from this event, you will NOT be able to obtain another one from this same event. This means if you get an egg on day 1 of this event, you can't get an event egg from any other day during this event. By the way, abandoning an event egg does nothing. So if you get one you might as well keep it and be happy.
  5. If we find any accounts being made just to get eggs from the event then they will be immediately banned along with your main.
  6. If you were a winner of the raffle, your chosen Pokémon will be spawned into your party on the day of the event. It won't be forced shiny, but there's always a small chance just like any other egg! This will not count as an event egg and you can still receive one from the event.
  7. There is no guarantee that you'll receive an egg. There have been about 3k users online daily and there are only 1,750 eggs going out, so that at least gives you a little more than a 50% chance at getting something.
  8. Eggs chosen will not be available to pick from again for 3 months. If x egg was in the January egg distribution, then it can not be chosen again until April.
  9. The event runs at 4 p.m. server time.
Event dates and what's being handed outA no restriction, just for fun, distribution:

I'll go for Keldeo or SnowKels me thinks.

Happy December guys, where is time going srsly. Didn't get my SWSH Burmy so will stare at Synx' party and be super super jealous and cry

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Nov 30 2016, 11:57 PM

This year is going by too fast.

Ooh, the prize is an Alola Ticket, glad I finished the SWSH grin.gif.

Posted by: Zerxer Nov 30 2016, 11:57 PM

Alola everyone!

I got an Adamant Rowlet... exactly what I had to soft reset 15 times for in-game.

Posted by: Munchlax Dec 1 2016, 12:02 AM

Pinch punch! First of the month! Guess I'll go for Entei or Keldeo to increase my chances of a shiny legendary, since I already got the novelties! Is there going to be a 'Santa Exchange' this month? I know that's usually iffy.

Congrats to everyone that got a shiny for the SWSH! I got 2 out of 3 but no males like I was hoping for.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 1 2016, 12:03 AM

Oh my god, Alola starters are the prize? I'm so PUMPED, come on Litten, hatch shiny for me!

I'm definitely going to be blowing my prize points on these Alola Tickets, must get a 7th gen shiny.

Posted by: Vande Dec 1 2016, 12:03 AM

I didn't get a shiny for the SWSH, but just bought 3 vouchers for the 3 Alola Starters!

Posted by: Makeltos Dec 1 2016, 12:03 AM

Well, this is the last month of the year. 2016 is a year to remember, huh?

And yeah! Rowlet FTW!

Posted by: Synx Itax Dec 1 2016, 12:08 AM

Hope everyone likes the prizes for the SWSH. happy.gif They were worked hard upon. Also, be sure to check your Pokédex for any other possible prizes you may not be aware of.

Distribution-wise, I... honestly don't care what I get. Not going for any particular one this time around.

December. What. I just... I can't even. Well, I have one immediate thing to look forward to this month, and that would be my trip to Austria on Friday. That will be exciting. Then, it's Christmas. I love this time of year. grin.gif I just wish where I lived got a lot colder.

Anyone wanna share their thoughts on this year? I'm of the opinion that it was... not so good a year, but that varies for different people, I suppose. My highlight, of course, was my AMAZING trip to Japan. That made the year salvageable for me.

And also? Wow. Mine is lagging severely. Is it everyone? Or just me?

Posted by: Hitaka5Ever Dec 1 2016, 12:27 AM

Site's so busy that it broke lol. Can't wait to get my Rowlet <3 Gonna name it Archimedes if its male

May go for Festive Makuhita if I remember XD

And aaaaaa, my favorite explorations are back this month, yay! So hyped!

Posted by: barryhill Dec 1 2016, 12:29 AM

I would kill for an Ekralyp or an Entei.
But I enjoy my prizes anyway. Love the new baby owl.
Starting to love how the month started!

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Dec 1 2016, 12:32 AM

I was in the process of getting the other two starters when the site started going down. I got Popplio with my first one. I pretty much have their nicknames decided. Will they be breedable or will it like when the Kalos starters were first implemented?

Also, yes it's December! grin.gif I love the Christmas season! Hard to believe the year's still flying by.

I'll decide on the distribution I want and the explorations I'm doing shortly.

Posted by: Yami No Yuugi Dec 1 2016, 12:34 AM

Ugh, my post didn't go through earlier.

So going for Ekralp. And Alolan starters as prizes? Nice. I'm pretty excited for the rest of Gen 7 to come out (and the Gen 6 explorations).

Bit bummed that I didn't get the main prize, but if Gen 7 is on its way, then I'll probably end up getting it sooner or later. I'll just keep working on what I've been working on.

Also glad about the Legendary Birds exploration coming out-am aiming for Articuno.

Posted by: Cao Dec 1 2016, 12:36 AM

I think I'm going to aim for Entei. C:
And I can't wait to buy my vouchers! Super excited to see Alolans!

Posted by: Hitaka5Ever Dec 1 2016, 12:43 AM

I love the Rowlet egg! Its so cute <3 Gonna get the other 2 also

Beautiful egg sprites as always! Looking forward to what the Pokes actually look like grin.gif

Posted by: eludicatorflame Dec 1 2016, 01:03 AM

Might go on the three legendary birbs exploration this month, but, super excited to get the alola voucher?? yay!

Posted by: x Sam Dec 1 2016, 01:39 AM

Just threw Decidueye and Ditto into my daycare, hopefully breed some Rowlet eggs for you all wink.gif

aaaaa I wish I had more PP, I really want the other two now sad.gif Definitely going for Articuno again for shiny and possibly Diancie mb. Depends how I feel in terms of what I need for shards..

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Dec 1 2016, 01:44 AM

I picked Litten. Cause it's the only one I actually like, until Popplio evolves anyways.
I'll breed some when he hatches! Going to shiny hunt him!

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Dec 1 2016, 01:44 AM

I just hatched my starters and all three turned out to be female, including the one I wanted! I'll try to breed some but I may level them up in my party for a while.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Dec 1 2016, 01:45 AM

Very cool to see the Alola starters. I bought vouchers for the other two. I don't have the games yet so that was nice. I think I'll be keeping my party open in hopes for an Entei.

O_o! You leveled it up in 6 minutes. How in the name of John Glenn did you pull THAT one off?

I'm still waiting to hatch my three. My poor Rowlet is about 11% behind the other two starters, since I got them before the site went temporarily offline and Rowlet AFTER.

Posted by: Jade Dec 1 2016, 01:49 AM

Hey y'all, been awhile.

Just finished off my sky plate, got me a Litten and just got the first Team Mystic Badge trinket. Pretty successful hour or so if I do say so myself xD;

Just gonna keep trucking away on Arceus explore #12 until I can get a working on something else. If I can ever find the one egg I need for this task.

Nah it evolved after 6, levelled to 100 after about 15 minutes ha.
This laptop works wonders for me when it wants to!

Damn, Sam, you're like the ultimate GPX-er when it comes to leveling up. I could mass clicker far faster had I gotten a better processor for my new comp

But um, I thought they were unbreedable at this time? I think someone else mentioned that too...

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Dec 1 2016, 02:12 AM

Decided to just use prize points on the other two. Don't want to waste time looking for them when I can be hunting Litten. I have nothing better to use them on. lol

Posted by: eevee64 Dec 1 2016, 02:54 AM

Loving the SWSH prizes! Got Rowlet with my voucher cat.gif Went and bought a couple more voucher for the other two, and now also need to wait for windy weather wink.gif

Can't believe it's December already. The years seem to go faster and faster :P Excited for my trip to Bali later this month. I've been a bit unwell lately so I've fallen behind on playing Moon (I've only just beaten the second Kahuna haha) but I'm getting back into it now ^^

Hopefully I can finish off my 5th DotW this month! Just actually have to click to finish off the last task ^^"

Posted by: Ninja Squirrel Twins Dec 1 2016, 04:03 AM

it's December already and still haven't completed my copy of Sun Mimikyu is totally beating me everytime

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Dec 1 2016, 04:04 AM

So the voucher starters are programmed to be female?
Hm... might just wait to get a male Litten before I start breeding then. Considering I want a Male Incineroar and don't want to wonder why I can't breed him and Ditto when I throw him back in the Daycare in the future for a Scavenger Hunt or something.

My voucher Rowlet hatched male so it's just the luck of the draw.
On that note, I donated eggs about half an hour ago so there may be some goodies hitting the shelter soon wink.gif

New Burmy is brilliant too lmao

Posted by: Targaryen Dec 1 2016, 04:42 AM

:'( failed my shiny hunt. i either get my pokemon immediately or not at all, and it sucks ruuughh.

i just had my birthday recently (nov 27th) and i've been playing pokemon moon. what's everyone's favorite alola region pokemon? i really fell in love with formantis. i'm still learning the names and evolution ways but i figure once gpx includes the new pokemon, it'll be easy for me to learn the new names!

Posted by: Luneon Dec 1 2016, 05:52 AM

I got my shiny in the last few days of the month so I really got lucky there oh.gif
Y'know at first I thought there would be two prizes because I saw a new burmy in the dex
but then I noticed that it was a weather change type of deal which made me feel glad the Alola starters are the prize

The voucher I had I used for Litten, and I bought one for Popplio
For now I'll be skipping Rowlett due to it being my least favorite at the moment

As for monthly distributions... eh I'll go for tomorrow's or those on the third and fifth of the month.

Sooo did anyone notice the Pokémon GO tracker update yet? I think I'll be trying it out today.
I'm going to McDonald's anyway to try get an Eevee toy

Favorite Alola Pokémon because idk if this is still even spoiler worthy but ehhhhhhh better safe than sorry amirite? (click to show)




Posted by: Gigadweeb Dec 1 2016, 06:08 AM

Bah! Didn't get a shiny Burmy. Oh well!

Posted by: North Star Dec 1 2016, 07:22 AM

Ha, I knew we'd get a cloakless Burmy. But the Alola starters on top of that has been a nice surprise! Got Rowlet with my voucher and then bought two more to get Litten and Popplio.


December already. My birthday will be soon, but I don't really feel excited about it -_-.gif Though I hope the rng blesses me that day, I'm planning to roll a couple tickets on the mobages I play. Last year I got lucky on SIF, so...

Posted by: Manah Dec 1 2016, 07:51 AM

Gen 7 starters, huh? I'm tempted to name my Popplio/Primarina after the one I have in the game, but teams have to be shiny. Also tempted to blow my prize points on all evolutions, even though I could just wait for the regular release/breed them. (But I don't want to switch out my novelty pair, it's hard enough to keep up with all those new releases... xD)

So, this time the most interesting egg is Keldeo on day 2. Maybe I'll finally be able to keep my party full until then xD watch me fail again I had a shiny Resolution Keldeo on VDex.

Lurantis grin.gif Hello fellow mantis plant lover!

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 1 2016, 08:19 AM

That was not the prize I was expecting, but now I'm glad I had enough prize points to buy two more vouchers! Alola, my new little friends!

I still can't believe it's December already. I'm going to a concert tomorrow, and I remember buying the tickets back in August and thinking that it was forever away. The semester ends soon. The holidays are coming up. What the heck happened to this year??

Posted by: Gym Leader Clay Dec 1 2016, 08:23 AM

I mostly definitely completed the shiny hunt. one burmy of each type, all female. I thought that I was gonna end up with four male ground types before hatching a single female lol. . . gonna do another hunt for a male eventually, but for now. . . Sneaky sneaky moddos adding another Burmy form!! It makes sense tbh since we have all those weather based Cherrims.

And a double whammy with Alola!!! I snagged myself a Rowlet because i!!!! love!!!!! BIRBS!!!!!!! Round owl birbs!!!

Debating whether to buy two more vouchers or not. I have 800 prize points, they only cost 30, I'm an impatient Frick. . . . but tbh I'm a naughty who only really gains them through the swsh lately ( my attention span is a very special thing )

I'm not particularly stoked for any exploration or distribution but I'll probably shove myself into the fray for a chance to get teh shiniez

Favourite Alolan Pokemon? Rattata. Praise Rattata, our rodent overlord. Oh, wait, also Lycanroc. Love doges.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 1 2016, 08:38 AM

Well, this is quite the pleasant surprise! I used my freebie voucher for Litten and bought two more for Rowlett and Popplio. I wonder when the rest of the Alola Pokemon will be released?

Speaking of, I think my favorite Pokemon of this generation is a tie between Incineroar (not sure why so many people hate it), Goliosopod, and Mimikyu. As for Ultra Beasts, I'm pretty fond of Pheromosa and Xurkitree.

Posted by: Terepy Dec 1 2016, 08:54 AM

Not particularly surprised about the new Burmy novelty either, though it was kind of overshadowed by the Alolan starters. They are more interesting Pokémon than Burmy, though. Also, was the new novelty based off the Burmy without a cloak from the anime?

Sassazzle Salazzle is my favourite along with the Jangmo-o line happy.gif the Wimpod evolution is pretty sick too!

e: lol Salazar, thanks iPhone.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 1 2016, 10:12 AM

I think my favorite of the new pokemon (that I've seen so far) is probably Rockruff's evo or Type:Null, which is terrifyingly cool.

Not sure which of the distribution events I would want to go with yet, if I actually remember to do it this time.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 1 2016, 10:17 AM

I swear I don't know where this year went to, it happened way too fast. I'll be having my birthday on the 19th of this month, I'm going to be an even bigger old fart laughing.gif.

I started a shiny hunt for Litten, now all I need to do is hatch a female so I can have a breeding pair. I still have to get the other two starters but seeing as Litten is my favorite of the bunch I'm in no rush to get the other two. Maybe I'll get lucky and see the other two eggs in the shelter.

I haven't started an exploration yet, I'll be busy working the weekend and won't get much chance to sit down and do one. I'm in no rush though, I still have the other 30 days in the month.

Favorite new Pokemon in Sun is Lycanroc and Type: Null. I have the former in my team right now and I'll eventually get the latter too. I just have to get up to that point first, then I'll SR for a shiny one.

Well, I was mainly meaning for a Living Dex, where you were attempting to get a clean breeding pair. Not that that would be that easy since the female percentage is so much smaller.

I don't personally hoard mine. I just don't use them often. LOL

Posted by: Mamanator Dec 1 2016, 11:03 AM

Ah loooooooooooooooooow la Everybody! grin.gif Loving the SWSH prize and said bye bye to all the prize points I earned from that hunt as I brought 2 more of the vouchers so that I could obtain one of each. Who will I start with? Why, Rowlett, of course! It's just so darn cuuuuuute!! love.gif I also chose it as my main starter in the game. I'll definitely use the other two vouchers to get Litten and Poppy *smirk* though because, well, ya know, I used Moon to get the other two starters for my game so I'll use the vouchers to get them for GPX. *thumbs up*

I want to thank the person who passed their two Onix off in the Shelter recently, too. It helped me to complete that last difficult task and now I've sped through and have my next Spike egg ready and waiting.

I also picked up some Lab fresh Burmy and will eagerly await their birth which, if I'm lucky (HA!) a strong wind will follow so I can see what this cloakless Burmy is all about and looks like.

Happy December, too! I am not sure if I'll vie for 2 of the novelty I chose or go for the Ekralyp one as well. I thought it might be nice, for those still needing, not to have to wait a full year to obtain a fresh Past, Present, or Future Pokemon. This way, you can possibly have 2 this month instead of just the one. But I totally get wanting the legendaries or another choice being offered (like Ekralyp) so good luck for whichever one you're vying for this month.

QUESTION Also, has it been explained, if we vye for the eggs on the 24th and 25th... if we get one on the 24th, are we still eligible for the one on the 25th also? That would be so cool if so, but I'm not sure.

As for the monthly explores, if I get the chance, I am planning on the Finding Your Muse and Diamonds are Forever. Those I've only done twice before and the other ones either six or three times (respectively). So yeah, those two are on my list of explores once I have a free party spot (and have used the new vouchers).

My favorite Alola Pokemon? A toss up between Rowlett (still so darn cuuuuuuuuute!) and Rockruff. I'm not very far in the game so I really don't know about many others. I do like how strong Pikipek is, but am looking forward to obtaining both forms of Rockruff (I've been told they evolve differently depending on your game).

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 1 2016, 11:41 AM

As much as I want to start a shiny hunt for Popplio, I am adamant about finishing this darn Cranidos hunt! I need my red dino already, because this is taking too long.

I had a question for those of you who are playing Sun and Moon. What is your favorite of the new mechanics added into the game?
Honestly, I love the replacement of the gym battles and the need for HMs. It's just so interesting to see that the whole culture of Alola revolves around pokemon and people cooperating at all times.

Right off I can tell you one of my favorite features... cleaning them up after battles. No more need to go to another screen and spend hours playing with them all for the sake of one meager heart. I am enjoying how much easier it is to gain their love and loyalty.

I also love how, when you have a full party, and you capture a new Pokemon, you have a choice of boxing it or boxing a higher level Pokemon so that you can begin training right away. love.gif Seriously LOVE! that feature!

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Dec 1 2016, 12:04 PM

Well I was going to do Summon the Hero, and then I remembered...the Timburrs.

So I'm doing Meloetta now, so please feed Drilbur a Pecha berry:
https://r.gpx.plus/PpksA

A lot of the Gen VII Pokemon haven't quite grown on me yet. Probably because I still don't have the games yet. I just feel so out of the loop.

The weather changed to windy and I changed my Burmy's form. Poor little thing.

Posted by: Rhapsody Dec 1 2016, 12:05 PM

Yes! Both of those features are amazing! I just love having to comb my little Growlithe's fur after a battle and making her love me more. And the beans are an interesting change from the pokepuffs or whatever they were before!

The trials were a great new addition, I'm just disappointed that three of them are just battles without adding anything else while we have a Fairy type captain with a lot of trial potential that gets to do exactly nothing.

My favorite feature is adding captured mon to your party and the ride pokemon, but why did it have to be Charizard instead of a bird? sad.gif

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 1 2016, 12:56 PM

@Cryptic Lyric My favorite new mechanic? Well, I certainly enjoy the PokeRides, so I won't have to worry about teaching my Toucannon Fly or my Wishiwashi Surf, it's really convenient. But overall? While most people might be annoyed at it, I actually love the S.O.S. Battles. As a Shiny Hunter, it's a lot easier to do than chaining in XY or using the DexNav in ORAS, since you can stay in battle as long as you want until you end the battle. And of course, I stay in battle until the summoner calls in a Shiny.

I think that you can choose where to put a Pokémon when you obtain a new one.
Especially when you're hatching eggs that can be really useful at times

Also the refresh option where you can remove things like poison or paralyze.

I went to McDonald's but turns out they ran out of Eevee toys super early :/
People probably took a day off or asked their parents/friends to get one.
They employees did tell me that near the end of the promotion that all of them would be in stock again so I'll be returning next week I guess.

That doesn't mean I went home empty-handed. I ended up going into a clothing store and I bought 2 hoodies (Pokémon and Harry Potter), one sweater (Lion King), and one short-sleeved tee (Harry Potter)
Didn't expect to see those here in this country so I'm glad I got to buy them.

Managed to get a Cloakless Burmy rather quickly.

I'll pick up the Alola starters if I find their eggs in the shelter, but I'm not actively looking for them at this current time.

Currently working on the birds exploration.

Rolls around - once i get the shiny Pikachu i've been hunting, i'll probably breed the starters so others can get some too, yay.

On the other topic, I love being able to add newly-caught pokemon to my party right away - or check their stats, that's really useful! i like a lot of Alolan pokemon, but one of my faves is always gonna be Mimikyu. (I like alola raticate, too, and was lucky enough to find a random shiny of it in moon omg)

So I just hatched the first shiny Popplio, what a way to open the month.

*jaw drops*

Wow!

Congratulations, Rhapsody! That's awesome!!! I'll have to swing by your party because I'm curious as to what it would look like. *two thumbs up*

Posted by: Alchemists Fire Dec 1 2016, 03:29 PM

Alola starters?! How exciting!!! I know what I'll be hunting the shelter for xD

I don't have a DS of any sort, so I haven't been playing Sun/Moon - GPX is my only access to anything past Gen 3 (and I haven't even completed Ruby).

I'd love to be able to get that Entei egg for my Johto living dex!!

Oh! And my favourite Alolan Pokémon is Mimikyu

Well, I was mainly meaning for a Living Dex, where you were attempting to get a clean breeding pair. Not that that would be that easy since the female percentage is so much smaller.

I don't personally hoard mine. I just don't use them often. LOL


Ahh I see, having a living dex as it were doesn't really fuss me too much. Although I should breed for a shiny at some point lol...so maybe getting another would help...but prize points and no certaintly of their gender.

QUESTION Also, has it been explained, if we vye for the eggs on the 24th and 25th... if we get one on the 24th, are we still eligible for the one on the 25th also? That would be so cool if so, but I'm not sure.

I'm quite curious about the answer to this too, but to be honest I'm guessing it's either wait and see or hopefully a yes happy.gif

I hadn't realised Alola starters had been released and accidentally refreshed over a Rowlett egg in the shelter before doing a double take T_T The sprites are really cute though. Hope everyone's enjoying Sun and Moon so far!

Whilst I'm here, would appreciate any berries this way. I only have to do it one more time after this one but this Dedenne's been hanging around for twice as long as usual...

Edit: and just as I say that, I swiped one. Thanks for breeding Gigadyne happy.gif One more to go!

The trials were a great new addition, I'm just disappointed that three of them are just battles without adding anything else while we have a Fairy type captain with a lot of trial potential that gets to do exactly nothing.


Minor SuMo spoilers (click to show)


I think they bit off slightly more than they could chew with all the Trial Captains, and then realized that with all of the time they put into the plot, they couldn't fit in the rest of the trials without dragging out the game. But honestly, I'm not even mad. Because the plot for this game was awesome.

Also in unrelated news, gosh the sprites for the new Pokémon are so good. Coming back to GPX+ has been so good for my pixel art-loving heart. I hope I find some in the Shelter soon.

Posted by: Munchlax Dec 1 2016, 05:00 PM

Oh I didn't realize cloakless Burmy was the new one. I saw one bouncing around in the safari really early this morning and picked it up. I figured it was one of those forms that I never got around to putting into my pokedex. hehe.

For the first time I decided to actually spend prize points on vouchers since I usually wait for the pokemon to appear in the shelter. Hatched each one and I think it's safe to say that I would've picked Rowlet as my starter. He's so round and adorable! (Have to admit I didn't keep up with any Sun/Moon stuff...)

I know, but it's still just battling. She is a painter, we have a touchscreen, make an interesting trial out of that instead of another walk to pokemon->battle->walk to next pokemon thing.
I do agree on the plot though. I think this is the first Pokemon game where I had an actual destination all the time, not just a random route that leads to a random city that has a gym or not.

Also breeding Rowlet until the cat is level 100.

It doesn't how matter how many shinies you hatch during the SWSHy, you always only get one voucher. wink.gif You can obtain more by purchasing them with prize points. I brought 2 of them and, well, *smirk*, spent even more PP by buying 3 more. Eee gads!! I've still got a comfortable nest egg of prize points though so... all is good. *wistful sigh*

I'd spend them all, though, for a chance at a shiny voucher allowing any novelty whatsoever. I know just the one I'd go for.

Decided to throw Litten in the daycare.
Let's see what happens ;O

Tomorrow I'm going to my grandma's for a few days until December 6th
Not sure whether I'll be playing GO during the travel or...perhaps Moon.
Maybe Moon and hope I find a local pal

Yeah, I probably didn't make it quite clear. It's just so much wasted potential.

Speaking of trials, what was everyone's favorite? Mine was the ghost trial. Great atmosphere (especially the last part), I just wish they hadn't made the locations so obvious. Looking for moving things myself would have been much more fun, but at least the rest of the trial was much better than the demo one, so it's ok.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Dec 1 2016, 10:23 PM

I just released a bunch of hatched Rowlet. I guess a lot of people are breeding them cause they were the only eggs I found in the shelter all day. lol
I kept the one with the best IVs, but there were some good ones in the bunch

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 1 2016, 11:06 PM

I got one of your Rowlet from the Shelter Shadow Fennekin, thanks for releasing them happy.gif. The one I grabbed has 130 IVs so I'm happy with that.

I don't know what I did at work today but I'm having horrible back spasms. I nearly fell down the stairs when I came into the house. I currently have a heating pad on my back, hopefully when I wake up tomorrow they are gone. Worse case scenario I'll just stay home from work tomorrow and hope resting up will help.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 2 2016, 08:38 AM

I'm staying home from work today, my back is no better today than it was yesterday. I'm just going to spend the rest of the day in bed, if it doesn't get better tonight I'll go to the doctor.

I finally grabbed a Rowlet egg from the shelter so I'll get the egg data for it. I only need to get Popplio to have them all, but I'm still using the Alola Ticket to get a female Litten. So far I've hatched all boys and they are getting worse and worse IVs as they hatch XD.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 2 2016, 09:05 AM

I have so so so much work to get done within the next two weeks, and today is my day to get some headway on all of it. Yuck. SO I will be around for distraction's sake.

Also, did anyone see the Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay trailer they released? I need that game to come out as soon as possible. I may even call off of work for when it's released so that I can just dive in and not worry about it.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 2 2016, 09:25 AM

Eh, I might switch out my Deino for Litten and breed some for everyone. Might even start a double Shiny Hunt, especially since I canceled my Ground Burmy hunt and Deino eggs aren't that hard to find anyways. I'm also leaving my party open for Entei, since I already got all the other distribution Pokemon. I decided to start The Three Singing Chatot yesterday, and I might run through Summon the Hero again to get Zekrom.

Speaking of Shiny Hunts, after my Shiny Staryu hunt on Pokemon Moon, I might soft reset for a Shiny Type: Null since I'm close to completing my Alola PokeDex (and I got all the Legendaries and the Type: Null line in my Dex already since I traded down from Necrozma), and the Shiny Charm will really increase my chances with this one. Of course, this Type: Null hunt will be an on-and-off one, since I'll juggle between that and other hunts.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 2 2016, 01:28 PM

I just looked through my dex to see what I was missing, I going for Zekrom in the explorations and Ekralyp in the distribution. As for the second exploration, I might do Diancie or Meloetta in hopes of a shiny.

I just did a bit of my Christmas shopping to distract myself from all the work I have to do. Help.

I'm only doing the exploration so that I can have a Legendary for any potential Christmas event. {I THOUGHT I had one already, but if so, I'm not sure which one it was or if I still have it.} And as for the egg distribution, I don't care which one I get, if any, and as such I am not locking my Party on any of the days.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 2 2016, 04:05 PM

Sweet, I got the Entei egg grin.gif. This was the one I wanted the most so I'm happy to have it. Now if only it was the shiny one, it would definitely make me feel better *wink*.

Ten Alola Tickets so far and not one female Litten. I'm actually losing hope for getting a female Litten. I only have one more after this that I planned to use for Popplio, but if the 10th doesn't hatch female I'll have to use it sad.gif. I wanted a breeding pair so I didn't have to resort to using Ditto, but that'll be my next option if I don't get a female. I wasted all of my prize points for these vouchers so here's hoping female hatches next(or shiny, I won't complain if that happens instead).

Posted by: Alchemists Fire Dec 2 2016, 04:33 PM

OMG, I wasn't expecting the Distribution for another 3 hours! I just got out of my shower and refreshed my party and there was the Entei egg! OMG I can't believe I got one <3 THANK YOU!!!

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Dec 2 2016, 05:21 PM

I forgot all about the distribution. Just had an empty party, waiting to get the desired gender for the other two Alola starters
Good thing Virizion wasn't an event. lol, that's the only Pokemon I need aside from Arceus' and Unown.

And just released two more Rowlet... thought I released those with the others

Almost done with this month's specials, got an Entei.

Decided I'm going to start DotW as soon as I finish this exploration. Hopefully eggs hatch soon and I can move on from the monthly stuff soon, they're blocking my next task.

Got R1 in the hunt with a 142 IV Seviper meaning my Toxic Plate is now complete!

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 2 2016, 08:22 PM

Well I'm having a good day, I started a Rowlet hunt on a whim and only 6 eggs into the hunt, I got a shiny one grin.gif. I'm so pumped right now, this definitely makes me feel a whole lot better.

My back is still having spasms when I move a certain way. Staying home from work was a good idea, I don't think I'd have been able to make it my full shift at work. Now I only hope that my back is better tomorrow morning, I have to work at 9am. It'll be hard to find someone to replace my shift if I call in tomorrow.

Posted by: The Yatagarasu Dec 2 2016, 08:23 PM

Hooray, got Entei like I wanted! I think I'm going to level up my Popplio and start a hunt for that plus others can get the eggs of course.

IRL, found out kid 2 is definitely a girl. Two daughters...that should be interesting. Kind of hilarious because as a kid I used to always say I only wanted boys. Healthy baby is most important regardless though.

Posted by: Yami No Yuugi Dec 2 2016, 09:09 PM

Finished Articuno exploration and most of the way through the Diancie one. Got a few more novelty egg entries, and got both Litten and Rowlet. Also close to beating Moon at the time of this post. I'd say this month is going well.

My mum didn't want to know my gender but eventually found out early (because of complications) so they had a name picked pretty early.. which didn't fit, apparently, so ended up being "Baby 'Surname' " for a couple of weeks whilst I was in the Intensive Care unit ha

Will do! I considered waiting to find out the gender but then I kind of wanted to know in case we'd need to buy new clothes and things. Having another girl is a major plus lol. We'll only need to get things like diapers and what not. Glad things went alright for you and your mum. Now you're all grown up! I always look at your avatar like whoa, look at Sam lol.

I got an Entei egg from the yesterday event! I already have him so I'm hoping the shiny one! Just finished the Zapdos exploration, he was the bird missing to complete my trio! I have just embarked on the Zekrom exploration, sooo hard to find some Timburr on the safari x_x.gif

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 3 2016, 09:44 AM

Started the Zekrom exploration a few minutes ago, so let's see how this goes. I really want to start a Popplio hunt, but I'm being rather stubborn with this Cranidos hunt.

In other news, I went to see Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Sixx:AM, and As Lions last night. The performances were absolutely amazing, but I have never been in a crowd that rude. People were starting fights for no reason, pushing people to try and get closer to the front, and the guy in front of me continually elbowed me in the ribs and then cussed me out when I told him to stop. In the 8 years I've been going to concerts, this is the first time I have ever had trouble with a crowd.

Been pretty busy, with finals finishing up next week, I feel like this semester just finished so fast. Luckily, I do get a month long break for the Winter semester starts up ;d

Ha, grown up now indeed.. no more baby face, just beardy face instead :P

Entei hatched unshiny, still waiting on Articuno.

Have had multiple card issues today, my account changed to a student account and I wasn't told I was getting a new card, so my current card has been cancelled completely (thanks Lloyds), and then I can't access my savers account bc the card ran out in May and they've not sent me a new one rolleyes.gif grumble

Christmas plans for me are I'm just going to work through it. I need money (I'm not used to just studying, always worked alongside) so this free time is driving me up the wall! I finish on the 15th and I don't start again until the 23rd of January which is nice happy.gif

Plans are the same as they are every year, pretty much. Invite Grandparents over for dinner+snacks on Christmas Eve, and for opening gifts on Christmas Day.

On a GPX+ related note, I now have both Litten and Rowlet, also completed both my special explorations, and am currently working on yet another run of the Unown exploration (Speaking of, this little guy needs Rawst Berries: https://r.gpx.plus/mJStA). Still looking for Popplio eggs.

If anyone could release some Timburr to the safari zone, that would be super helpful! I'm now stuck on a task because I can't find any.

Although, while I was looking I did find a female Litten and a breeding pair of Floral Togepi! So that made it worth the searching.

As for Christmas plans, my family usually opens presents on the Eve and cleans up the next day. Apparently my boyfriend's family wants us to have a game night the day before Christmas Eve. Aside from that, I will be volunteering to work. Double pay will be amaaaazing.

Posted by: x Giratina Dec 3 2016, 03:55 PM

RIP, no Entei... oh well. I got a Litten from the shelter though (whose name is Sasuke Uchinya BTW), so that's basically the same thing, right?

I don't know what my holiday plans are. I don't even know what day I'll be able to leave college for break and go home. =.= We have reviews which could fall at any time between the 16th and 23rd (!), so I won't be able to leave until the day after that happens, and the school still hasn't bothered to tell me what my assigned day is.

Thank you! I always forget how hard these types of tasks are at the beginning of the month.

On a whim, I decided to spend my last 60 prize points on two more vouchers for Popplio, in hopes of a female. I got one! So now I have a pair of Litten and Popplio that I can use for future breeding hunts!

I just evolved all of the gen 7 starters and started on the three singing chatot exploration. happy.gif
I'm thinking of shiny hunting all of the three starters once I get some room in my shine recorder.
And I got lucky and got the Entei egg as well. Yay~

Also I'm one away from completing the pokedex in pokemon sun. I just need my Silvally and I'm done.
I can't believe I am actually going to complete it. I never done that before.

Omg, got shiny Alolan rattata in Pokémon Sun. I was searching for bagon and got this little fellow instead. My 4th random shiny encounter ever and I have been playing over 10 years now. Have been playing the game 30 hours now.

I haven't got rowlet yet here, but with voucher I got litten and found popplio from shelter.

I've been enjoying much this new gen, even thou there is some things I dislike.

Posted by: Alicat Dec 4 2016, 09:45 AM

@Sleeppari: Congrats on the random shiny! I've barely started the game... xD

I just worked a 14 hour shift yesterday, 7:30-21:15... my birthday started 8 hours ago too. Woot for three hours of sleep xD

I was already wondering why Mimikyu was being promoted without any specifics about what role it would play ingame.

Got Popplio yesterday, also have beaten Moon's postgame. Am working on gathering the remaining Z-Crystals, Zygarde Cells, Legendaries, and other things in Sun, will work on Moon in a bit. Things are looking up.

Heh just came back the other day from a hiatus...had a less then full party (hunting klink and alolan starters now) first day back hatched all my party...finishing my golett shiny hunt. Found a Rowlett egg in the shelter. So anyways only had like 3 things in my party, forgot that monthly distributions were a thing....so hello keldeo egg XD

Posted by: Luneon Dec 4 2016, 07:55 PM

Happy Sinterklaas to those who celebrate it grin.gif

So in a few hours I think I'll try release some Littens I have on GPX+ to celebrate this wonderful day with everybody

I'm going out for dinner with my family
Does anyone else have any plans for it?

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 4 2016, 09:13 PM

I actually found a Cranidos egg in the shelter! Thanks for breeding, LotusSong! Even though I accidentally grabbed a Chatot the first time I saw one in there...

Going to do some clicks before going to bed, and hopefully get a bit of progress on something done.

I feel like a part of that was how popular Mimikyu ended up being after its reveal. I can't speak for the Japanese fandom, but the English fandom went nuts over it. It's cute in an awkward kind of way, and it disguises itself because it just wants to have friends. The marketing team probably picked up on that and ran with it.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 5 2016, 11:10 AM

Yeah, I would have to agree with the theory that Mimikyu became a Totem Pokemon just because it was so popular. Though I see why it was popular, it's a cute little bugger.

Speaking of buggers, I couldn't catch many Shinies over the weekend, but I did catch a male Shiny Cutiefly I named Liidae, who I evolved into Ribombee. I'll have to try again with Shiny Staryu at some later point though. Well, at least it's a lot easier now that I have a Shiny Charm.

Also, last I checked, SiivaGunner's profile and YouTube banner is now completely black. I'm not sure if you heard of the channel, but they upload high quality rips with some lore in the background in the form of stuff like ARGs. And last time according to lore, Woodman sort of took over the channel, who is a virus. Is it possible that Woodman did something to the channel? That deeply concerns me as a memer.

Posted by: Hitaka5Ever Dec 5 2016, 11:20 AM

You guys might not find Mimikyu cute if you heard what it sounds like in the anime happy.gif Its disturbing lol

That and the fact it's super relatable for the majority of the population.
A lot of people feel EXACTLY like it. ("It" being Mimikyu)

Relatability is super important when it comes to whether something will be popular or not.
If people cannot relate to it then it most likely won't be very popular.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 5 2016, 12:09 PM

Possibly, but I doubt it unless if such cloth variations appear on the anime. And we can't exactly suggest it to the staff. Though the idea is making my inner pixel artist tingle, but I don't think PokeStadium has the Smogon sprites for the Gen VII Pokemon up yet. Which is a shame, because I do all of my editing on MSPaint and the black background transparent images give makes things hard to edit, and PokeStadium lets me use sprites that have a white background.

Also, I think I'm due for a profile picture change now. I'm torn between two Kermit the Frog memes, the "That's None Of My Business" one or the Dark Side Kermit one. I'm also looking at doing an Incineroar profile picture like I initially planned to do after the games came out.

Posted by: Alicat Dec 5 2016, 01:43 PM

Would be cool to come up with other variations of Mimikyuu as a novelty!

And as I posted this, NateWantsToBattle just posted a new Paramore cover o: excitement

Posted by: Woodsman Dec 5 2016, 02:13 PM

It's very very unlikely that Mimikyu's popularity was what led it to being a Totem. That would have been planned way in advance, long before it was officially revealed. Mimikyu just ended up being popular, so they capitalized that by giving it some more marketing. The fact it had already been made a Totem Pokemon would be an added bonus.

I am sad we don't get any variations of it, though. I hope we see some in upcoming games. Charizard Mimikyu anyone?

Posted by: Yggdrasil Dec 5 2016, 02:23 PM

Thank you to Leomon200, Soulweaver and HowToGetToSesameStreet. I got the three alola starters from the shelter so I don't have to spend my points on the tickets. Oh and just hatched the shiny burmy I couldn't get.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 5 2016, 07:28 PM

Hurray for a sparkly new avatar with a side of iced tea!

I sort of made a new account on Neopets with my own personal e-mail address. At first the sole reason was to make fun of it like I did with Club Penguin on the JonTron Discord, but I sort of got back into it actually like I did as a kid. Of course I'm not gonna obsess over it, but I now have something when I don't have anything to do on GPXPlus and all of the Discord chats and forums I go to have fallen silent.

Also we're learning how to do remixes in Music Technology, which was the sole reason I joined the class other than to make original video game compositions. I've chosen to do a remix of the main Super Mario World theme, and hopefully I'll do well on this one.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 5 2016, 07:37 PM

Yay, I got the Ekrapsyfakdsakdasjhdasp egg today! Another thing to add to the dex.

Having the Mobile walker working again is great, but me remembering to actually use it would be a lot better. Like, a lot. I travel 25 miles to school, so that's enough to hatch my eggs, but I never remember to actually do it???

Posted by: Manah Dec 5 2016, 08:09 PM

Mimikyu (the totem) is really the only ghost in Pokemon who ever scared me. Freaky little thing.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 5 2016, 08:30 PM

Yeah, the Mimikyu kind of took me by surprise too, at least when the PokeFinder turned on by itself. After that point I knew what was pretty much going to happen. And I don't even play horror games or watch horror movies, or anything that might try to play this trope, it was that obvious to me.

Also gotta love that Mimikyu just casually walking away in the background in the cutscene with Acerola after you beat the Trial.

Hopefully I remember to use the mobile walker today, seeing as I just loaded it with some Bagon for the hunt.

I also happened upon two popplio eggs in the shelter, so I nabbed those, too. I started a hunt, so why not? I can hope.

Some of the work I needed to get done is done already. Now to settle in with every other freaking thing I need to do for the next few days.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 6 2016, 09:53 AM

My account isn't old enough to do the Advent Calender though, which pretty sad. I've also been "cleaning out" the Money Tree by taking the useless items and then discarding them. I could not understand WHY people donate useless items like old boots and Rockfish instead of discarding them. It's not like anyone has any use for them.

I'm still looking for a third Houndour, but hopefully I will find one soon enough.

hunt on mobile for gen7 legends
finds cypress azelf
ok.png

I am ok with this. Azelf was the first Cypress legend I ever got and I accidentally released it, so I'm happy to have another happy.gif

I think I might go for a clicky day soon.. when I have nothing on that is. My laptop appears to be fine doing over 600 interactions a minute (somehow!?) so I'll see if I can beat my current record of 370K in a day cat.gif Should be interesting.. i'm also going to try and level all my fails to 100, evolve them and then release them as my streak has hit 300 so it's more viable to level a bunch of things.

Bursary came in yesterday too but not sure if I want to spend Ł40 straight up or not on Sun..

e: Also can we still submit December trinkets?

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 6 2016, 10:08 AM

Not bad luck, so far. The first Bagon I hatched for the hunt had 132IVs. I'm currently leveling that up, and once it's evolved I will toss it in as my entry.

With all the work I have to do, my anxiety is through the roof. Which is keeping me from sleeping. And I've been waking up with panic attacks. Lots of them. I will just be glad when this semester is over and I don't have this much work to do. I'm taking a tiny break right now to read something I actually want to, so that I don't go insane.


Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 6 2016, 10:13 AM

Okay, this is just annoying now. I've been trying to submit my last trinket, but no matter how many times I run the image through Ezimba, the image just STAYS with that white background when I see the preview of the imahe. And I don't know why this is happening since I didn't have any trouble with my other Trinkets. I even copy-pasted the image on to new pictures and tried that in case the original picture file got corrupted somehow.

Good morning Everybody! I know I fell silent there for a while but it's been a busy start to the year. This past weekend we went up to Flagstaff to visit our NAU daughter sing in a huge choir holiday dinner concert. It! Was! Fantabulous!! Definitely glad we went, but yeah... *yawn*... I'm so not cut out for a late night life anymore. LOL

I also work from home every Monday now and am totally enjoying it! I, somehow, get so much more done at home. *woah!* I think it has to do with me wanting to prove myself that I can be trusted. *smirk* And look at me now, at the office, speaking with you all here. LOL

I was happy with getting two of the Past Misdreavus' even though they were both female and low IVs. I'm looking forward to vying for one of the other two in that explore later this month now.

I'm in the beginning of my first December explore and looking forward to making some headway with that over these next couple of days.

I also saw where Meoletta is returning as a free Pokemon for Ruby, Sapphire, X, and Y games so I hope to try to collect her later tonight. I'm sad that I can't get her into my Sun game, but hopefully I can pick her up a few (or four) times and then I can always trade her over once we can trade through the storage system. I also saw something about a QR code for some Pokemon, I think, in Sun and Moon? But do you have to finish the game to do that or is that something we can do, like, right away? Because, yeah. I haven't even started the island challenge trials yet. *eek* I finally got the last female starter for my youngest and the quick link access, so I just have to wait to transfer it to her later tonight. So last night I was playing my game again and realized that, while I finished the school training, I'm still training and leveling up in the "starter" area to get to level 20 before I begin the island challenge stuff.


Posted by: Woodsman Dec 6 2016, 11:07 AM

The QR code for Magearna only works once you've beaten the main story, yes. Also, it's going to take a LONG time to try leveling up to 20 before doing the island challenge, because the EXP system is such that you earn less EXP the higher level you are compared to your opponent (like in Gen V). You do earn more EXP if you're underleveled and need to catch up, though, which makes swapping mons out easier if you want to change up your party.

As the first trial is meant to be completed at around level 14 or so, yeah, getting higher than that before taking it on will be tough. Just a heads-up happy.gif

Thanks for that heads up, Woodsman! My highest level, at the moment, is actually 12. So what I'll do instead is level up to 15 and stop there until I take that first challenge. I appreciate the information! Hopefully that QR code, then, will be around for a while. I don't plan on beating (or finishing) the main story any time soon. I like to take my time and enjoy the journey. blush.gif

Thanks for the info on the QR code. I'm probably going to wait until sometime next week to pick back up on Moon, because it would end up as a distraction otherwise. I keep dreaming about going back to Ten Carat Hill and hunting for a shiny Rockruff.

From what I saw on Serebii, there's no expiry date for the QR code. Serebii also uploaded it to their http://serebii.net/sunmoon/qrevents.shtml, so it can be accessed from there.

? My internet was running slow, hence why I was able to read that, but I've never noticed

Second, even tho you can find scannable QR codes online (?) if I was at the store and wanted to scan items, do ALL QR codes work for the game or just specific products? I ask bc I saw a photo of someone doing it and the product had Sun or Moon in teh name, but I think that's just coincidence?

Speaking of Moon, I plan to buy it the Friday before January 1st with whatever Christmas tip money I make for the holidays, so maybe later I'll post up my friend code bc I'd like to add you guys (If you wanna PM me before then, that's fine too! Just title it DS Friend Code or something)

I haven't done much GPX wise other than hatching Litten eggs. I've hatched 62 eggs so far, other than that I'm grabbing Popplio eggs when I see them. I'm not doing much else, I was going to start an exploration but I think I'll wait until later. I still have the rest of the month to finished two of them.

Yeah, that QR searcher is quite handy.
Going to use it on Moon whenever I continue that game as I'm trying the Battle Tree on Sun. I'll do it on a day you can find Deino from island scanning. So I can have an early dragon for once. happy.gif

I've had a great start to my summer break. The first week and a half of it I was sick with a stomach bug and now this week I have tonsillitis :\ I've spent the entire last two days laying in bed because I felt so sick. Though I'm starting to feel a tad better this evening, so hopefully I'm on the mend now. Only 10 days before I got to Bali so I need to be better before then! ^^"

Only half way though Moon at the moment, but really enjoying it! My favourite gen 7 Pokemon would have to be Rowlet (with Lurantis and Sandlit close behind). Like others have said, my favourite new features would also be the Ride Pokemon and the Poke Pelago. Though I'd have to say that I prefer the traditional gym battles to the trials, not that I hate the trials though, I like them for something different in this game ^^ I finally fully evolved and sorted out my team now too...it consists of Decidueye, Toucannon, Alola Ninetails, (midnight) Lycanroc, Ribombee and Salazzle cat.gif

Anyone have any Christmas/Holiday plans? I'll be having a Christmas party with my friends and family on the 24th grin.gif

I'll be in Bali the week leading up to Christmas, getting back on Christmas eve. Don't really have any specific Christmas plans set in stone yet. Will probably go and visit my grandparents for a few days between Christmas and New Year, with catch ups with friends, my family and my bf's family around all that ^^" Gonna be busy but so much good food will be had...bring out the trifle and eggnog grin.gif

All QR codes work in Sun and Moon-even codes meant for something else. Someone once scanned their Windows 10 Blue Screen and got a Mareep. Am intending to test more in the future and may make a thread about it.

That's pretty funny, an electric sheep being summoned by a blue screen :P
It does have a blue body after all....

When I found out about the QR scanner, I really just did a google image search of QR codes and went through them. Helped me find a Klink on the first island, so that was pretty cool!

I haven't used the QR scanner yet
Can you use it from the beginning or do you need to finish the main story first?

You can use it from the beginning. But you're going to want to only scan ten at a time. And then use the Island Scan. Me? I scanned MORE than 10 codes before I did my first Island Scan, so I lost the "ten points to filling the Island Scan meter." And you can only scan each specific code once.

EDIT - And I just found my, at least temporary, weekly Pokehunt entry, a 159 IV Male Rowlet. Since it's a secondary Flying type and on the bottom tier of egg-steps, I'll still be looking for something else, but ...

Posted by: x Sam Dec 7 2016, 02:29 PM

Threw in a 147 iv Emolga for now, so it'll have to do. Haven't seen any Bagon eggs anywhere, so Rank 2 at least I'm fine with.
Working my way through Sun fairly slowly; waiting on VS Seeker tasks is pretty bleh too.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 7 2016, 04:04 PM

Work was a fiasco and now I'm waiting for my class to start, so it's time to relax for a bit by clicking and hoping for the best.

Hopefully I can find and hatch a few more Popplio eggs so that I can have the shine recorder entry high enough for honey and hunt power to work!

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Dec 7 2016, 06:45 PM

Ride Pokemon are interesting.
But I hope they don't stick. Sinnoh remakes wouldn't be the same without HMs..... and their ride Pokemon would have to be different.

I really hate the Machamp one......

Posted by: Manah Dec 7 2016, 08:30 PM

I'm not sure if I want Ride Pokemon in a Sinnoh remake... on one hand, it wouldn't be the same, on the other I really disliked everything about those games except new Pokemon, soundtrack and underground, so I couldn't really complain about anything that makes them more bearable...

Meh. I'm not even sure if I would even play it. I want Gen 5 remakes.

Posted by: Yami No Yuugi Dec 7 2016, 08:52 PM

I'm sort of torn when it comes to putting Ride 'mons in the inevitable Gen 4 remake. At the very least, I'd like an equivalent of Soaring in the Sky from ORAS. I will, however, say that they have to continue using Ride 'mons in future non-remake games.

I also seriously need a Shiftry for this exploration. I have everyone else (they're currently being leveled)...

Posted by: Luneon Dec 7 2016, 10:02 PM

It's amazing that gen 4 was 10 years ago, it really seems like maybe last year or so...
It feels too soon for a remake.

Oh btw earlier I had 3 Litten eggs in my daycare, so whoever got the 3rd one: you lucky person

I also decided to check the winter anime list and I'm seeing some fun shows on there so when the final list gets released I suppose I'll compose a new "to watch list" for myself for this winter :P

I was thinking the same thing. Pearl was the first Pokemon game I played so it feels strange that that was almost 10 years ago! Feels like yesterday haha. But given we've only just gotten Sun/Moon I doubt we'll be getting gen 4 remakes in the near future.

you should catch up with Yuri asap it's been killing me these last two/three weeks


I've already checked show lists for next season but there are very few that feel interesting to me... I'll probably end up with a short ptw list, so I might take the chance to watch animes from previous seasons, or to catch up with live action series.

But I'll miss Yuri on Ice and JoJo. At least I can look forward to an eventual Vento Aureo anime blush.gif

Posted by: Woodsman Dec 8 2016, 08:27 AM

I would actually really like Sinnoh remakes. The nostalgia for those games is starting to set in, especially when I listen to the music. And there are a lot of hints towards Sinnoh (and Gen IV in genera) in Sun and Moon. We'll probably get the rumored Stars before we get D/P remakes though, so it'll be a couple years at least. Speaking of, apparently there are unused overworld walking and running animations in Sun and Moon's data, meaning following Pokemon could be a thing again!

I've never been one to watch much anime, but it seems like everyone is watching Yuri on Ice and JoJo these days. My brother's been bugging me to watch JoJo, so I'll probably watch that soon. I didn't know there was going to be a second season of Blue Exorcist, though! That's one of the few anime I've actually seen.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 8 2016, 08:49 AM

I'm still having no luck with finding Timburr for this exploration. I don't want to abandon it, but I might have to if it keeps up like this.

I keep nabbing one Popplio egg at a time, and then the species count in the shelter goes down by one. whyme.gif

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 8 2016, 09:10 AM

The noticeable lack of Timburr in the Shelter that I could see when I was looking for Houndour was the reason why I went for Finding Your Muse when I completed my other Exploration.

I'm really hoping for Sinnoh remakes. This might just be simply because of nostalgia since I'm a Sinnoh kid, but I really don't care. I want to travel through the region again with an Infernape by my side. I'm also hoping for the return of the Wi-Fi Plaza, that was my favorite online feature in Gen IV.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 8 2016, 09:15 AM

All this talk of the remakes of Gen 4, and I am still only on the second island in Moon. Once this semester is over, that will change. Or maybe just after Monday, since that's when most of my stuff is due.

If I had remembered this was a task in the exploration, I would have probably started with a different one and waited until farther into the month when there just might be some Timburr floating around. I guess I can just keep hoping to find some.

As for the Ride pokemon, I love the concept. Instead of having an HM whore constantly in my party, this works so much better! Plus, riding around on a Lapras is all I have ever wanted to do with my life.

Posted by: x Sam Dec 8 2016, 10:36 AM

Best task of DOTW now haha. Happy me! This is where my battle subway streak will end.. just to spite me.

I actually made a new trinket which I submitted last night for December.. probably not ideal but it said they were still being accepted so who knows..?
Sprited this little cutie:



Hopefully it'll be accepted happy.gif might start making some more Axew themed trinkets (because he's clearly the cutest dragon ever)

That is always the most disappointing part.

Or, with the last poison hunt, I hatched a shiny Weedle with 131, but I knew the egg steps and the rarity would kill me in the entry.


On a completely different note, one of my friends just made me join FurVilla. It seems interesting so far.

Yeah it's definitely going to be 2018 before we get another remake I guess.
Plus there should be a dungeon or ranger or whatever coming out between main games and remakes :P

I don't watch either of those.
Yuri on Ice I don't watch because I don't like sports anime due to all the drama involved most of the time,
and Jojo I don't watch because it doesn't sound like something I would enjoy.

But from what I heard through others, they're pretty good shows.

Yep. Breeding them. I love Litten and I noticed a lack of him(Popplio too.... didn't actually find a Popplio egg in there until today lol) compared to Rowlet, so I'm breeding him.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 9 2016, 08:56 AM

I'm breeding Litten as well, though I'm not sure how many folks are breeding Popplio. I've also canceled my Deino hunt since the Eggs take way too long to hatch.

It's the weekend! That means I can do some Shiny Hunting on my copy of Pokemon Moon. I'm planning to hunt Oricorio and also maybe give Staryu another shot. Pom-Pom looks really adorable, though my favorite Shiny Oricorio form would have to be the Baile Style.

Also, I wonder how the Ultra Beasts will be done? I'm thinking that they'll get their own rarity as well, since they're not quite like the Pokemon we know and love.

Posted by: DrSnap Dec 9 2016, 09:08 AM

I'm breeding Popplio, since he's the only one of the three compatible with Magma Totodile... Can I have a cookie ? xD

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 9 2016, 11:01 AM

Judging from the eggs I'm seeing in the shelter, it seems like Popplio is the one being bred the least of the Alola starters. Finding eggs for my hunt has been rather difficult.

I decided to cancel my Dark Ekans hunt, because my Daycare is out of commission for the forseeable future. Once I finish my Cranidos hunt, I may decide to go after Winter Vulpix again, because I have tried hunting for it so many times and always lost patience for it. I really want a shiny novelty, since that is the only rarity that I don't have a shiny in.

I wish I could be excited about the weekend. All I can think about are the three papers due on monday and the two due on tuesday that I have to start and finish. After next Tuesday, I can celebrate the end of my semester.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Dec 9 2016, 11:33 AM

I'm breeding Popplio even though I'm hunting all three of them pretty much.

I was able to get a Past Misdreavus egg from the event and I did the Reshiram/Zekrom exploration last week. It actually didn't take me too long to find any Timburr. I must have got to that task at a good time for the Safari Zone, but I refreshed over the second one I needed about three times, so I thought about kicking myself for that.

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 9 2016, 11:40 AM

I should probably Shiny Hunt Popplio on this site after I get my white Litten to make up for the deficit number of Popplio to fix that problem.

The first semester of this year is slowly drawing to a close. After that, I get to game as much as I want for about two weeks! Though the idea is still not helping my stress.

I also finally caught aDrive on Twitch two days ago hunting for a Shiny Ditto. I couldn't get catch him on any other time since during that time he's either offline or he's hosting another streamer. After I finally caught him streaming, I pretty much threw 50 Bits on him. Which makes me wonder, what are Bits for anyways other than to throw them at a streamer?

My favorite Christmas movies are Elf and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. I remember when Elf first came out and I went with my mom, my sister and her friend, and one of the windows on my mom's car didn't want to move up and we almost weren't able to go.

I checked in on those stats yesterday, just to see how far behind Popplio was. I was not expecting to see Rowlet that much in the lead, though.

Every time I used a sweet honey, it was one Popplio egg in a sea of Honedge.

The semester is almost over. I am so, so thankful for that. I have a lot of work due in the next few days, but I am starting all of that after I work a little 3 hour shift. Then I want to go park myself at a starbucks and get shit done.

Went and bought our Christmas tree yesterday and started setting up Christmas decorations around the house, so it's slowly starting to feel like Christmas now :P Only hung a few baubles in the tree so far...thinking we'll probably end up hanging treats and toys for our parrots in there.

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM Dec 10 2016, 11:38 AM

I've been hunting Timburr since August 13th, it's refused to shine for 497 eggs so far. On the other hand, I've been able to help people with finding their exploration Pokémon this month, so that makes me feel a bit better about it. ^^

And I'd also love to finish my novelty hunt soon.
I mean... a game of hide and seek is not funny anymore after 547 novelty eggs, Purple Kecleon! Dx

I can't resist grabbing the Alola starter eggs when I see them. I've found a shiny Litten Thursday, can't wait to collect the rest. I wish I had room on my Shine Recorder to start an official hunt for them, but my regular hunts refuse to cooperate and I refuse to cancel them. x3

For the people celebrating Christmas - is your home decorated already?
We're decorating our Christmas tree tomorrow. Not sure what color scheme we'll go with, yet.

We're decorating our Christmas tree tomorrow. Not sure what color scheme we'll go with, yet.

Yep, my dad got the tree about a week ago and we decorated it on Thursday
He also hung up some other decorations

If it counts, I got a Hello Kitty advent calendar for my room
I'm 7 days behind but eh I'll prolly catch up in no time :P

Woo, I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I couldn't access the site for the while on my end. It was a "bad gateway" 502 error, and I'm guessing that means the site crashed. I do have other things to do if that happens, like chatting on Discord and messing around on the Twitch Plays Pokemon stream chat. I always seem to annoy at least one person when I evaluate the teams when we get to the Pokemon Revolution battles, heh.

Ahh this is my first time being back on the forums since two years ago haha. I just randomly remembered my account on gpx+ a week or so ago and thought I would poke my head back in for a little bit. Of course, while doing so I remembered why I liked gpx so much, I've been having a lot of fun!!! It's really neat to see how much is just like I remember it but also how many new and exciting things there are. Glad to be here and I hope everyone is having a nice weekend happy.gif

Welcome back! I feel how that is how it goes with me, too. I forget about this site/get lazy for a while, decide to check in, and then get roped back in by all the cool stuff and all the people that are here.

I finished the explo for Zekrom, and I think I might go for Diancie if I have the time. For now, though, I just want to focus on shiny hunting. Simple, wonderful shiny hunting.

I really need to get to work.

good luck!! I did the diance exploration a few days ago and it was a lot of fun haha. Shiny hunting is indeed a lot of work, but its sooo satishfying when you get the one youve been looking for

@Vande: I've seen Home Alone too much so I've gone off it a bit :/ still watch it though!
@Ric: Yeah it took a few attempts for me, but it's one thing out the way.

I'm a little concerned in regards to uni, I've got to shoot home on monday afternoon for personal issues yet I've got a powerpoint presentation on tuesday - emailed my tutor about me not being there though, the powerpoint itself is only 1% of the year so I shouldn't really worry.. meh. I just don't want to fail because i missed 10% of a unit lol..

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady Dec 11 2016, 12:35 PM

I'm aiming for at least one Shiny before tonight on Pokemon Moon.

Also, my phone was found a few days, and it wasn't stolen at all. It was run over, but it amazingly still works. I think we just got a new screen for it.

I already got a Japanese Ditto for breeding Shinies. I'm definitely breeding Beldum, because I'm not gonna lose any Shiny Beldum to Take Down recoil or Struggle.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant Dec 11 2016, 02:52 PM

Well my back hasn't gotten any better since the last time I posted. Last Wednesday my boss gave me a quick call and told me to come in for 4 hours instead of the full 8 hour shift. I'm glad that she switched my schedule because it gave me more time to relax. She told me that I could use a chair by the cash so I didn't stand up so long(they normally don't let us use chairs). I still find it very hard to walk and stand up when I am at work. Having concrete floors hidden under tile isn't very good for my back.

I'm hoping that it'll be gone by my birthday on the 19th, I have supper plans on that day and I don't want them ruined. My aunt and uncle are coming in for Christmas as well as a couple cousins. I haven't seen any of them in a couple years so it'll be nice seeing them again.

This weeks Poke Hunt was terrible, I only found one good Aerodactyl and it only snagged 2nd. I didn't have much luck with Dratini eggs, the best IVs I got were under 100. It sucks but at least I got some prize points out of it.

I'm having awesome shiny luck in Pokemon Sun. So far I have shiny Torracat, a random shiny Makuhita, Alola Vulpix, Rockruff, Caterpie, Pikipek and a male Salandit(which I wanted, I don't like Salazzle). I'm currently hunting for a shiny Cubone, so I hope I get that. I'm getting so many Kangaskhan when Cubone summons some help, but I hope Cubone shines instead. I already have a shiny Kangaskhan but knowing my game I'll probably get trolled. Cubone summoned 6 Kangaskhan in a row earlier blink.gif

Wish I had the same shiny luck on gpx, but nothing yet. Litten is at 121 eggs and Popplio is at 18. I was hoping for a fast hunt like Rowlet but the site has other plans tongue.gif. I'm focusing more on Litten over Popplio, when Litten shines I'll focus my attention on Popplio.

I hope everyone is doing fine and are done their Christmas shopping(unlike me lol.gif).

Hey, I needed to fill my party! But yes, you busted me.

I wouldn't really worry too much about the presentation. With that small of a percentage, it shouldn't matter that much. Plus, you've emailed ahead of time. That's as much as you can do, especially if the personal issues are pressing.

I might not participate in the tournament. I already got the items I need should I need them for a Shiny Pokemon, and I don't use my Pokemon Moon for comp. Speaking of Shinies, I got a Shiny Smeargle that is female, Hardy, and has the ability Moody from S.O.S. battling. It has near perfect IVs according to Serebii too. If I do ever comp battle on Moon, I'll definitely use my latest Shiny.

Posted by: x Sam Dec 12 2016, 03:25 PM

Dedenne is almost less than 100 berries away from being cured, so hopefully I'll be done with the Arceus exploration runthrough by the end of the week happy.gif Then I'll work on the 12 days of Xmas I think!

Currently trying to get my battle rank up. The top 4 are really close in some stats (a matter of a few hundred battles apart) so I'm looking to reclaim my position :p I've also finally hit 40,000 battles which is an achievement for me.. I really want to hit 50k battles by the end of the year though so who knows!

I need to go and hoard choice items again too; as-well as the NPC battles for the end of the year..

I'm also double checking the battle guide as I believe some of the item assumptions (at various streaks) are incorrect, so I'm trying to rectify this.

And I'd also love to finish my novelty hunt soon.

Think my highest right now is a 1458 Cloyster. I'm about to run to the shops because apparently today isn't my day. Kitchen is always warm and my cupboard is next to the oven, so put bread + dark cupboard + heat together and.. you can work it out. There goes breakfast.

It's raining outside and I have my presentation to plan. Won't take long so I need to figure out what to put on each slide and which bits to focus on for 5 minutes. Might find a video for extra time wasting skills grin.gif just to visually aid that is. Then find a study or two to talk about..

Speaking of hunts, I'd like to finish a few before December is up. Might pump some stuff into Honey+ and hope I can actually hatch a few shinies; Burmy [Steel], Lunatone, Baltoy, Emolga and Swablu need to finish soon pls.

Edit: Also, updated the Subway guide with some correct information and added in a couple of lists of when you win particular items.

Well I'm feeling a lot better now that I was all week. It still hurts to stand up for long periods of time, so I sit down every so often to rest my back. Hey if my coworkers can spend 5 minutes going for a smoke, I can sit for 5 minutes.

I got paid some money today, which is great because I had less than 50 dollars to my name. Seeing as I lost a bunch of hours due to being taken off work, I need all the money I can get. I lost at least 25 of the 40 hours I normally work a week, which is a lot of money. I still need to buy Christmas gifts for a few people so I can get that finished. I'm so behind on everything this year.

In Pokemon Go my highest CP Pokemon is a 1621 Vaporeon. I found it as a 800ish CP Eevee. The highest Pokemon I caught was a 1007 CP Gengar when the Halloween event was happening. I still don't have a Ditto yet, I think they don't exist in my town shakefist.gif.

Posted by: Synx Itax Dec 13 2016, 11:44 AM

Whoa, I was gone for a while there. Well, I was celebrating the wintertime in Vienna, so I guess I can't complain too much about that. What a beautiful city, especially during Christmastime.

I finished Pokémon Moon before I left for my trip so that I could spend time filling my dex and possibly SOS chaining for shinies (spoilers: didn't get any yet), and I'm actually quite close to finishing the dex. 86% or so as of the time of writing this post. Thank you, GTS, for the assistance, although the constant need for level 91+ Dragonites is annoying. :/ As for the game itself, I thought it was very good. Definitely not a favorite (it's down there with Black/White for me in terms of how much I liked it, which is "a fair bit but overall not overwhelmingly so"), but still good. Pokémon games tend to be that way for me: at least good. I liked X/Y a lot more.

My favorite thing about the game is the Ride Pokémon. Now THAT is refreshing. I HATE HMs, and anything to not have to use them is a fantastic improvement for me. Let's hope that if there are Gen 4 remakes, this trend will continue. After all, ORAS had a Latios that you could fly around on. (But thank the gods for Hawlucha; that one was just about all I needed in Y.)

Poké Pelago is great, too. I find that sort of system for item gathering ideal. Oh, and I love how you can immediately choose to box things that you catch (or hatch!).

Regarding the remakes... eh, I'm not big on remakes. I think that if the games look good enough, then they don't need them. Then again, I did enjoy ORAS a lot, so... whatever. :P Plus, I love Cynthia and Garchomp, so there's that.

My Christmas plans are just to sit around the house and enjoy whatever possible gifts I get. We don't really do anything for it. What we SHOULD do is decorate already. Maybe today, I'll put up the small tree upstairs as well as some decorations for my desk.

Regarding Pokémon GO: I almost finished my dex there so far, and now they released baby Gen 2 Pokémon. Gahh, more stuff to get. At least I got Mr. Mime in Europe!

Now to finish this Arceus exploration already...

Hello again! *sheepish smile inserted here* I, too, have been off the forums for a spell and trying to click on a semi regular daily basis. That last part didn't pan out as well as I had hoped, but mainly because of the weekend and how I worked from home both Friday and yesterday. One would think that, with working from home, I have more free time. Right? Well, I'm aiming to please so that I can increase my at home work days so I'm trying to shine for my boss. blush.gif

I've had a lot of ketchup that I did in my current explore and have advanced a few paces so that my new party Drillbur is suddenly feeling not so hot. Therefore, if you happen to pass us on your way to click elsewhere... Drillbur and I wouldn't begrudge you tossing a sweet, Pecha berry her way. wink.gif It would seem she ran afoul of something that poisoned her so she needs all the sweet berry love you can offer her.
https://r.gpx.plus/bCfYA

In other news I've finally advanced to Route 2 in my Sun game. *eek* Yeah. Just Route 2. I'm keeping in mind the level for the upcoming battles and trying to stay at 15 for everybody. Goofball Abra I noticed evolved at level 16, so I went that far for her because she needed something other than Teleport. Well. She learned something alright. Just not anything that seems useful. A fear tactic, I'd label it, but she can't hurt nobody yet. So she's back in the box and my starters are all at 15 now, too (if memory serves). So I'm leveling up a few others as I weed my way through Route 2 towards the Cemetery for that "specially requested" Pokemon. Note to Self: make sure you pick up two of them. LOL.

I miss playing Pokemon Go! *mopes* I have to put it back on my phone (haven't had the chance yet) and then try my Google account to see if that was how I was playing it before. I am hoping to get back to it around the holidays at the very latest. If I can't get Mamanator back first I'll cry, then I'll throw a tantrum, and then I'll try my back up plan.

I'm terrible with competitive gaming too so if we get to face off against each other we might get a fun deal out of it

I've been gone from GPX for a pretty long time. I used to play in 2010, I think. So I wanted to stop in and say hello to everyone <3 Been playing for a few days and there's so much new stuff and the site is so easy to use, I love it! There weren't any Poke Hunts or site wide shiny hunts back then, so I'm excited to get to participate in that stuff now. Though, I guess I should have expected most of the rare steel eggs would be gone from the shelter now!

Also, having Reshiram be one of my returning month's exploration prizes is amazing. One of my favorite legendaries is such a great gift to come back to the game :D

This has certainly been my most tedious run at the 12 Days of Christmas since it was first added. I can't find the Pokemon needed for one of the tasks, and I'm too busy breeding Popplio to switch my pair out.

I haven't played Pokemon GO that much since I learned how much of our data it was using up. It's too bad because I loved playing it. I wonder how many other people have just lost interest in it after a little while, because it was just about everywhere when it was first released.

Yeah, I´m also doing that exploration, happily i started breeding the pokemon needed in that when i started^^

My semester is officially finished! All my work was finished by last night, and today I am free! Well, at least for a little bit. No more school work to worry about right now, and that is a beautiful thing.

I would try for Beldum for the hunt since I'm already hunting it, but it seems that they've all disappeared from the shelter.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan I'm over the moon right now!

I had this 3000 word lab report to do earlier this term which was worth 50% of this unit, I lost it all the night before it was due in so had to redo it all the night before (including graphs and data)

I came out with 70 for it so got a first, can't believe it! lol.gif

--------

Rat has 30 berries to go. I think I'll do another run and hope it's done before the 22nd.. If not I'll be stuck with a party of 5 for an extra day or two.

I can't remember the last task so I'll decide at a later date I think wink.gif


e: Also guys you should all come to the Discord chat. There's quite a number of us so it's pretty talkative happy.gif

I'm still playing Go, doesn't eat a lot of my data and I play on the way and home from work. So a good couple of hours a day. I want my baby Pokemon badly though.

In other news I've finally advanced to Route 2 in my Sun game. *eek* Yeah. Just Route 2. I'm keeping in mind the level for the upcoming battles and trying to stay at 15 for everybody. Goofball Abra I noticed evolved at level 16, so I went that far for her because she needed something other than Teleport. Well. She learned something alright. Just not anything that seems useful. A fear tactic, I'd label it, but she can't hurt nobody yet. So she's back in the box and my starters are all at 15 now, too (if memory serves). So I'm leveling up a few others as I weed my way through Route 2 towards the Cemetery for that "specially requested" Pokemon. Note to Self: make sure you pick up two of them. LOL.

I don't know about others, but I spent hours on the part before the first trial. xD Just talking to people and exploring stuff and somehow I was at 8 hours without having done anything.

Believe it or not, I'm still playing Pokemon Go. I mean, I take a break every now and then, but I still love to play. We have a larger data plan so I don't usually worry about that. I have fun with it, especially since they've been good about keeping updates coming about once a month. cat.gif My highest CP pokemon is 2000something Dragonite, that my boyfriend lovingly caught for me a while ago. Finally just hatched a Snorlax, but it was only about 1800. Still missing tons from my dex though - porygon, lapras, gyrados, bellsprout evolutions, final Gloom evolution, horsea evolution, poliwag evolutions, and still don't have a Charizard and I've caught a total of 2 or 3 bulbasaurs. ;o; I just can't seem to get lucky and find these missing dorks. I did manage to find a ditto on the first day though! So now I'm working on baby pokemon. <3 Topegi!

I finished Sun while I was in vacation visiting family in Kansas. But I have a tendency to speed through the story mode, then go back and do other stuff later. My boyfriend got me a Rowlet egg, but I've still gotta find someone to trade me a poppolio. xD I'm about at 50% dex, but that's only because I've been so busy at work (catching up after that vacation almost made it not worth it).

I would be. If I could actually log into the blasted game. I re-downloaded the game a while back after the shortcut on my home page said the app was not installed. And now, when I attempt to play it, I keep getting the "Enter your birthday" screen. So, after I do that, it takes me to the sign in screen. And whenever I attempt to actually log in, I get a message saying, "Unable to authenticate, Please try again."

As for Sun and Moon? I'm sad that it seems you can't use Field Moves to draw wild pokemon to you. But it IS nice that you can get evolved forms during the SOS Battles at a lower level than they actually evolve on their own.

For pokemon go do you play on iPhone or Android? I use Android and there's a few things you can try to get that fixed, but for iPhone, I wouldn't know how to help you.

I'm not having much luck with those exclusive Pikachus but I do have 3 dittos atm.

Also, for Sun and Moon I recommend you wondertrade or just breed a Litten and put it on gts to trade for popplio.
It worked for me with a lot of things so it maaaaaaaybe might work for you too. Maybe. Hopefully oh.gif

How does one find ditto? do they just appear as random pokémon as i've not found any so far.

I keep seeing the Pikachu though but I'm always going in the opposite direction to when I see them..

I believe Ditto usually appear as Rattata or Pidgey? And then, once you catch them they transform. However, due to my aforementioned problem, I can't verify that personally.

@ Jalakins: I believe it's Android. It's a Tracfone phone, so it's definitely NOT an iPhone.

If you can get on before the 29th, you can find Pikachu with a santa hat!! I caught one at work today grin.gif

Huh. Found a Silver Chest with a Green Orb earlier, and I just found a Red Chest with a Red Orb. All I need to complete the set is the Blue Orb. Haven't found a chest in a while, and now two within a day. Luck of the draw, or Decemberness?

EDIT - And I just got a Blue Chest. Didn't have the Blue Orb though

Posted by: Mamanator Dec 15 2016, 02:09 PM

Oh my gosh!

I can't believe this just happened!

While searching for the Poke Hunt entry to gain a nice ranking, my Riolu just hatched - shiny! And!!! It has a 145 IV!!

*wants to feint*

Now if I can just max its happiness out then it'll be good to enter the hunt.

In other news... I've advanced enough in my current explore to get to the simple, straight forward tasks. Just a lot of clicking ahead of me now.

I'm also working on today's entry for the Scavenger Hunt and, because I used the Odd Incense, I should be good to submit that Pokemon as well. Which I just did so... yay! I can cross that one off my To Do list. LOL Here's hoping my Riolu will find his happiness before the clock runs out. *eek*

I think I know which Pokemon I'm going to enter into the Secret Santa exchange, too. While I have never hatched a shiny legendary, I've plenty of more than one shiny Pokemon to go around. wink.gif So here's hoping that what goes around comes around and I'll obtain a shiny I've yet to acquire. I'd consider swapping a shiny novelty... if I thought there was a high chance of my shiny Spike (eared Pichu) coming back, but Mincie is too precious and I don't think Snowy Girafarig would cut it. blush.gif 'Sides, that one is a "clean" shiny and I am not ready to release it.

I'm really hoping to get my focus in order so that I'll be able to participate and have fun during the Hanukkah event as well. I'll be working from home right after Christmas but here's hoping that I can stay focused long enough to hatch some Gen 1 Pokemon. I love how many events it seems GPX has given us; what a fun month, eh?

*EDIT*
Well. Wow.

Thank you, Clickers! love.gif Riolu is "all growed up" and off to the Poke Hunt. I hope you all found and can enter your Pokemon choice as well.

How I do it there was a choice of 5 Pokemon, but one of them didn't evolve, so I didn't really want to use that one. blush.gif That Lucario was definitely my highest I found all week though. My options were: Skarmory, Probopass, Beldum's line, Piplup's final evolution, and Lucario.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine Dec 15 2016, 06:33 PM

So I finally finished the 12 Days exploration. I decided to just breed the one I needed and it took me a few more hours to finish up the rest, Glad that's out the way because that took too long for me.

I'm hoping to find the Alola starter shinies before the event starts. It's still a bit hard to find eggs though.

Maybe you have to venture out into the nearest town. I've seen them in the evening (like 5 PM), but still haven't caught one because either I've got no time to go chasing one down, or it's too cold to justify going outside. Knowing me, I'll probably forget and never get one.

Also, Luneon and Vicious, good luck with your shinies! I've had my account since 2009, played actively from then to 2010, and then came back, and this Duskull babe is my first shiny ever. So no matter how hopeless it seems, you can do it! n_n

What was weird was I only went with Riolu because I thought I was still hunting that shiny. blush.gif Yeah, no. Not so much as it turns out. Also, I grow weary of hunting the same Pokemon for every type hunt so I thought I'd switch it up. Was really trying for Piplup's end evolution, but would also have settled for Skarmory as I thought for sure he'd be born tough. Just not the one that hatched for me. LOL

Good morning and Happy Friday Everybody! Kudos to the random shiny finders! It's a wonderful "stop! wait! what?" moment, isn't it? I like the idea that GPX is being extra generous because of the holiday season. Like the way GPX pays it forward. woot.gif

I have a lot more clicks in store today to finish this exploration and then see about the December exploration(s). I'm thinking I'll only have time for one so I might as well do that Past, Present, and Future one.

With that... I'm off to click and progress in my exploratory duties. Catch ya's later!

Thank you! I'm so glad it is done!

Getting that shiny finished my Stone Plate, so it looks like I can start DotW at any time. I've never done that one, so I can only imagine how hard it can be.

I also started a Poliwag hunt, giving me three Gen 1 hunts that I can focus on during the event. And I didn't realize it, but apparently I accidentally got rid of my male Winter Vulpix, so I don't have a breeding pair. I decided to do a Remorage hunt instead.

I still have yet to get a Christmas Pikachu in Pokémon GO. I've seen them in my sightings, but I never encountered one. Well, I'm sure one will come around soon enough.

Missed the first Scavenger Hunt task. Oops. I saw the task in the header and got a Pokémon for it, but I didn't realize that it was so close to reset. Oh well. I got today's, though.

Let's hope I don't forget the events later on in the month. It's nice to have a Secret Santa thing again. happy.gif

Been focusing on the Scavenger Hunt big time because of the coins, plus I need more prize points. Also have a handful of Gen 1's that I've been shiny hunting, so that'll help with the coin count as well.

Posted by: Cryptic Lyric Dec 17 2016, 10:38 AM

I'm quite excited for the event, but I kind of accidentally hatched my Shiny Kangaskhan last night. So I will need to decided on another Gen 1 hunt that would be good to do.

There's also an event going on over at Furvilla, with is making me quite a bit of money right now!

In RL news, I'm really sick. Like, sleep for 12 hours at a time sick.

Posted by: Breech Loader Dec 17 2016, 11:22 AM

I've picked Ekans, since we seem to have so many of those in the shelter, and I need toxic Shards. But if that falls through early I may pick Spearow or Slowpoke.

Posted by: RicFule Dec 17 2016, 12:12 PM

I'm not really going to be stressed about which Gen I pokemon I eventually go after. I'll likely see what's in the Lab and grab from there. And no one's actually hatching the Gen I for coins yet, are they? Since, to what I understand, it doesn't start for about a week.

Yeah doesn't start until reset on Thursday I believe. 22nd or something I believe I read.

I think I'll just go for anything I can find and hatch happy.gif Most common things I already have plates for anyway so might go for some birds as I only have 1 sky shard..

Mostly I'm prepping up so that my Sweet Honey will work.

Shinies are completely random anyway; you might spend 1000 eggs hunting them, or you might spend 10. Why put it off? I have non-G1 hunts to keep going on anyway.

One thing we CAN do is start breeding regular and easy-hatch G1 eggs, to get them nice and friendly with each other and at 15 eggs a pop. Just remember that not EVERYBODY will be doing Magikarp (almost everybody, but not all of us)

I think I have pretty much every Kanto shiny except for the legends, so I have no clue what'll happen with me. I'll try to be as active as I can for that time but I know I'll be pretty busy next weekend with Christmas. I don't even know what to put in for the Secret Santa yet.

Seems I did indeed get some of that December luck! My first completed shiny hunt, shiny Vulpix. grin.gif Which is not my main hunt, but I was going to focus Vulpix after Pichu and Igglybuff, so I'm super happy.
Also... I'm not very familiar with these forums, but why do my pages have "posts in this topic" with a list of posts made instead of just normally showing the posts?

TFW when one of the eggs you donated to the shelter because you chose another in the batch hatches shiny.

I'm ready for an active GPX day!
I'm determined to finish one or two shiny hunts before all the fun starts, I want to have some space for Gen 1 hunts.

EDIT:
Your egg hatched into Sh. Binacle!
Your Pokemon hatched holding a Stone Shard!
Congratulations on completing your shiny hunt!


Yay!

As for my Pokémon Moon game, I'm stuck Masuda hunting Popplio forever. headache.gif
I know I'm doing it right, but it just seems like Lady Luck won't cooperate.
My stubbornness won't let me take a break and get on with the story line, either. ^^;

Just one more week of work before my Christmas holidays start, can't wait!

Apparently I had a short burst of shiny luck. Crandios, Kangaskhan, and then Honedge yesterday!

I'm just starting the hunts and getting enough of them so that honey and hunt power will work during the event, so I'm not scrambling for things when ti happens. Right now the ones I've picked are Diglett, Rattata, and Poliwag.

You don't have to be hunting shinies for this event-it's just most people are continuing their hunts so they can use Sweet Honey. If you really want to get coins, you want to hatch them with Gen 1 sprites.

I just got the IV checker in Pokemon Moon (after hatching 18 Eevee eggs for a grand total of 20 hatched eggs-and 4 of them hatched female), and holy shit. I did NOT expect 31/x/x/31/31/31 on Nihiligo.

FINALLY GOT MY SHINY CRANIDOS. I CAN HAVE MY WREX.
This Pokémon was egg #533 in Cryptic Lyric 's 1337-day shiny hunt started on April 20th, 2013.

Holy crap, I was beginning to think I would never get it.

That's a really nice day number actually oh.gif Lucky!

True, I already have a Shiny Gyarados so I don't need another.
I might do the 2 Nidorans actually

I will continue to breed my Clone Bulbasaurs, and take a normal egg when there is no novelty. And I will also scour the Lab for whatever Gen 1 eggs I find. Hopefully I can hatch enough.
Does the Spin the Dreidel have an equal chance of landing on any of the 4 sides?

Finally got my Shiny Burmy. Which is good, that means I've cleared out a slot for the next SWSH. I will also start breeding a Gen 1 'mon-going for Poliwag, since it's Gen 1, I'm hunting its shiny, and Poliwrath is required for both a standard and one of the Holiday explorations.
