http://i42.tinypic.com/9bj9mf.gif Limitations are an important part of every shop. If you win a flatsale pokémon, you are not allowed to participate in the flatsale immediately after that one. You've got to skip one, to give everyone else a chance. If you manage to accrue six pokémon all together, you are no longer allowed to participate in flatsales and newbie events at all. If you still want more pokémon, you'll need to go through contests, raffles, auctions, customs, trading, and breeding.
http://i42.tinypic.com/9bj9mf.gif Flatsales will occur at semi-regular intervals, as often as once a week during good months. Each and every flatsale will be
different. How different, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

Each Flatsale will feature at least two pokémon. The Third Flatsale will include
three, and subsequent sales will have no less than three. But only three? It seems kind of restrictive, doesn't it? Not really. Each Sale will feature two pokémon that have not yet been seen in the shop! So, for the first sale, there will be a male and female pokémon for sale, and for the second the same, only a different kind. But what about that third pokémon? Well, we'll get to that.
http://i42.tinypic.com/9bj9mf.gif Pokéballs will also be sold at various times. But....what's in them? In flatsales, pokéballs can only contain kinds of pokémon that were previously sold, so that gives you
some idea of what's in them. Price is different, and it depends on what's inside, though in general a pokéball will be priced lower than the visible flatsale pokémon. Another indicator of the pokémon within is the
kind of pokéball it is. Rare pokémon will probably be in higher-level pokéballs, like ultraballs, or masterballs. Common ones will be in pokéballs. But, why would we do this? Because it's
fun. It's interesting to get a surprise, and you never know what you'll get!

Of course, you also might be thinking; 'why in the world would I take a chance on a mystery pokémon?' There are several reasons, of course. The most obvious being that in most cases, this will be the only way to get pokémon that were released in the past. Really popular pokémon might be made available again in the future, and you can always trade for a pokémon you like, but you can always guarantee that a pokéball sold will have a blast from the past.
Now, you might be thinking; it sounds alright, but...what about shinies? Surely if you put up a shiny pokémon, there'll be a huge rush for that one! With only two pokémon visible in each flatsale, I'll
never get a chance! And that's where you would be
wrong. You see, the
only way to get a shiny pokémon outside of an auction, raffle, or other special sale is to find one in a pokéball! It's almost completely
random!

http://i42.tinypic.com/9bj9mf.gif Raffles, Auctions, and Special Sales: each and every one of them be announced as early as possible, to give people time to prepare. Prices and rules for each special sale event will be posted in the 'current events' post on the second page, and will almost certainly differ for each and every one. Remember: a lot of customs, super rares, shinies, legendaries and popular pokémon from the past will be featured in this kind of sale.
http://i42.tinypic.com/9bj9mf.gif The Mode of all flatsales will be the 'flaffle' method, with select few exceptions, usually during special sale events. This method is conducted by opening the sale for a period of time, and during that time, trainers who wish for a chance to purchase the flatsale pokémon will be allowed to put their name in. When time is up, a random roll will be made, and the winners will receive their pokémon!
It
is possible to put in for any one pokémon, all of them, or any combination, but we request that you include all your entries in one post together, so that we won't get anything mixed up. Although all the rules and information for a flatsale will be reposted in the 'current events' post on page two at the proper time, the form for entering a flatsale will look like this:
Joy Nurse
http://i41.tinypic.com/et8fvo.gif I WANNA CATCH 'EM ALL http://i40.tinypic.com/x3uwqb.gif
Trainer: Joy Nurse
Pokémon: Cyndaquil (Male)
Extras: No
As noted above, most flatsales will have a price of 5,000 gold for each pokémon, and less for each pokéball. Please make sure you have enough gold, before entering any of our sales!
