Pokemon Event


Aedan has made an interesting discovery on the Island of Life! A number of mysterious eggs have shown up, and it seems that the Kyn inside are almost a breed to themselves! This event will allow these strange Kyn to find owners and bonded that can hopefully appreciate their quirky nature and strange appearances.

Pokemon Kyn have restricted breeding abilities, being only able mate with other Pokemon Kyn, and only if they are the opposite gender, same Pokemon, and same evolutionary stage (i.e. Clone Charizard and Shiny Charizard may mate, but Raichu and Pikachu may not). Except, of course, if you're talking about Ditto.

At the same time, they don't seem to follow normal growth patterns - sometimes they seem to grow into entirely different things! Some are even oddly attracted to stones, and it others have different natural talents than most Kyns. Best to be safely interested and cautiously curious about all of these guys.

Rules

General
- All normal thread rules apply
- Pokemon Kyn cannot breed outside of other Pokemon Kyn of their same species and opposite gender; Ditto is the only exception to this
- Some Pokemon Kyn evolve through their Pokemon evolutions to reach the stage they are sold at, but not all of them
- Most Pokemon Kyn come with innate magic
- Most Pokemon Kyn cannot learn magic through tomes
- It is sometimes difficult for Pokemon Kyn to speak with riders, but they have no trouble communicating to other Kyn


Flatsale
- All normal flatsale rules apply, with only exceptions as listed below
- Event thread silence is required 5 minutes before the sale begins; a warning will be posted at this time, and a reminder before then
- Do not claim Kyn before I post 'Go'
- Payment is expected within one hour after you claim your Pokemon Kyn
- Only one Kyn may be purchased by a person per flat
- You may participate in and get Kyn from multiple flats, but please be courteous to others who are interested


Auction
- Pure gold only, unless otherwise noted
- Bid retractions are not accepted
- If you don't have the gold on hand to cover your bid, then don't bid
- Discouraging others from bidding, by bluffing, whining, or any other means, is not accepted
- Treat all thread-goers and participants with respect, and do not be a sore loser (or winner)
- You may participate in every auction, but you may only win one Pokemon from paired or group auctions. (I.E. You may bid on both Gyrados and Milotic from the first auction, but you can only win one of the two. You may still win other Pokemon from other auctions, though.)
- Snipe Guard: If someone posts within the last 10 minutes of an auction's end time, it is extended for thirty minutes beyond its set end time. This extension will continue if bidding continues to occur within the last 10 minutes of the adjusted end time

Game Spot: Random Encounters!
User Image

Start Date and Time: Monday the 25th of August at 10am EST
End Date and Time: Sunday the 21st of September at 10pm EST

This is an ongoing event in the thread, that anyone can participate in, provided that they have the right preparation. Throughout the event, random Pokemon Kyn may pop-up in the thread, and you may try to capture them. Each encounter will generate a random number between 1 and 100, which is the target number to capture that Pokemon. Everyone posting after may use the means at their disposal to try and catch that Pokemon! The first person who, using an item that they have, is able to match the encounter's number successfully captures that Pokemon.

All of these Kyn are growing/evolving, with one very confused Caterpie. Zubat, however, is adult-only.


Throw Rock
Rocks are free, so you can take a gamble and just throw rocks to try and capture the Pokemon. All you have to do is post in bold large font: Rock Throw! after a wild Pokemon has appeared, and be sure to generate a random number between 1 and 100.

Throw Bait
Bait must be purchased, so be careful you don't run out. If you have purchased bait, then after a random Pokemon has appeared, all you need to do is post in bold, brown, large font: Bait Throw! and roll a random number between either 1 and 75 or 25 and 100. Make sure you choose the one that corresponds to the random encounter's number!

Throw Pokeball
Pokeballs must also be purchased, and can be thrown by posting in bold, red, large font: Pokeball Go! and generating a random number between 1 and 50 or 51 and 100. Be sure to choose the right set to generate between!

Throw Great Ball
Great balls are also purchased, and are thrown by posting in bold, gold, large font: Great Ball Go! and generating a random number between 1 and 25, 26 and 50, 51 and 75, and 76 and 100. Again, make sure to choose the correct parameters to match the random encounter.

Throw Master Ball
Want to take a great chance and hope you're the first person to post? Then purchase the pricy Master Ball and all you have to do is be the first to post in bold, purple large font: Pokemon is Mine!. If you're the first person to post, or throw your ball before anyone else generates the right number, then you get the Pokemon. Just be careful - these things are expensive and if you aren't quick enough you could waste it.

Current Inventories
- everyone has rocks -
mewrose has 3 Great Balls
Cherry_chain has 1 Master Ball

Stocking Up
In order to purchase items to help you capture random Pokemon, just PM the mule with your order and send in the trade. Be sure to title both the trade and the PM "Stocking Up" please. If you don't use your items, then they aren't refundable at the end of the event. However, you may be able to trade them in for something.

Bait - 25 gold each
Pokeball - 250 gold each
Great Ball - 500 gold each
Master Ball - 1500 gold each

Catches!
Caterpie was caught by Cysic in Week One!
Zubat was caught by Cysic in Week Two, and given to poke mattix!
Flygon was caught and given to Cherry_chain!
Game Spot: Roleplay
User Image


Start Date and Time: Monday the 25th of August at 10am EST
End Date and Time: Sunday the 21st of September at 10pm EST
Entry Fee: Free! (optional 2k with no RP required)

It seems as if Kyns aren't the only ones affected - there are some interesting familiars that have popped up as well! If you want to try and get your hands on these cosplay familiars, which seem to be breeding like rabbits, then you're going to have to buckle-down and do some writing! Unless of course you really just want to pay a flat price and be boring. You are allowed to RP to get multiple ones - but it may be harder to gain the trust of them all!

If you really don't want to RP or write anything, or want to make sure you get the one(s) you want, the flat rate for the familars is 2ooo.
To do this, send a trade to the mule and include the name of your familiar, the Kyn (or write 'alone') you want it tagged with, and the Pokemon species of familiar you want (choose from those above).

The current species are:
Buneary
Pichu
Pidgey
Mantyke
Minun
Plusle
Noctowl
Taillow
Pachirisu
(more may be added throughout the span of the event - so stay sharp!)

How do we get one for free?
Take your rider - and your rider only - and head over to the Clearing. There you may look around or do whatever you think is needed to attract one of the Pokemon familiars. Then, it's up to you and you alone to gain their trust and friendship. While RPing there, you must use proper grammar and sentence structure, and your posts must be independent of other people. Your responses will come from the mule and be directed to you and you alone. It's pretty much as if you and these Pokemon familiars are the only ones there.

The Loneliest Pokemon

Want to get your very own Cubone? Take a look at our RP prompts and write a response for your chance to take home this poor little Gargoyle.

Game Spot: Safari What?
User Image

Start Date and Time: Monday the 25th of August at 5pm EST
End Date and Time: When they're all gone?
Catch Fee: 4,000

Combining role-play with random encounters and a taste of battling, Safari What? is a game held inside the guild where Riders are invited to enter an area where we know Pokemon Kyn are. Once there, they have a certain number of posts to hunt out a Pokemon Kyn and try to get it for themself, or else be booted out of the game. Everyone is allowed to participate as many times as they want, but if you 'catch' a Pokemon Kyn, you are required to pay a fee.

All of the Kyn from this event are growing/evolving.

To learn more about Safari What? please join the Kyn Guild and check out the thread there.
Game Spot: Find Ditto


Entry Fee: None!
Start Date and Time: Friday after Thanksgiving [November]
End Date and Time: When there's one person left

Think you've got what it takes to pick out the real thing from a line-up of fakes? Well, that's not going to help you here - you need to spot the fake from the real ones in this game. It seems like this little guy enjoys playing hide and seek, in a very difficult fashion. Unfortunately, he hasn't had much pratice and his changing ability seems... imperfect. Join your friends in an exciting game of "spot the difference", with an awesome prize of a male Ditto to take home with you!

So, What's So Special About Ditto?
Ditto is unlike any Kyn we've seen before - in fact, Aedan's not even sure it can count as a Kyn. It's unique genetics actually mean it doesn't contribute at all to Kyn breeding (don't ask how that works or how we found out), instead it just duplicates everything possible from the other parent. This means that Ditto, when bred to another Pokemon Cosplay Kyn, can duplicate that Kyn with the gender being the only variable.

There are a few wild cards involved in breeding a Ditto, however, like whether the bred Kyn will 'evolve' through all or none of the evolutions of its contributing parent. If stones are needed to create and evolution, Ditto breeding cannot accomplish that.

Dittos don't have much of a personality, they don't seem to eat much, and they don't communicate like your average Kyn. It seems that they don't have a preference for who they're around, either. Unless it comes down to other Dittos. Dittos despise others like themself, meaning that Dittos cannot mate. There are only two found, and from their distaste of each other it looks like that's it.

Breeding a Ditto to your Cosplay Event Pokemon Kyn is the only way to breed them without breeding to the opposite gender of the same evolution of the same Pokemon (i.e. Shiny Charizard and Clone Charizard may breed, but Raichu and Pikachu may not). Because of this, the male and female Dittos are extremely special. One will be flat auctioned, and one will be given away in a game.

Advertisement Competition
User Image

Start Date: August 4th, 11pm EST
End Date: TBA

With all of these Kyn needing homes, it's important to invite as many people as possible. Therefore, we're going to have an Ad Competition to help encourage more people to come check out the event!

The Ad Competition will begin before the Events do, last until the very last event, and the winner will receive an adult-only European female Dragonite.

All you need to do is put a banner or text link in your signature, or personally invite your friends. When they come and visit this thread, they just need to post in some bright, obnoxious, bold format that you sent them - and you'll get the credit. Every referral earns you one point, and the most points at the end of the event wins the Dragonite.

If we get a lot of people participating, and there are a lot of referrals, Dragonite will become the second or third place prize, and another one or two specials will be awarded. There's also the possibility of Dragonite becoming a growing Kyn. If we reach that point, they'll be added up here. ^.^

Waffles' Drawer

Waffles knows that she can't cover everyone's favorite Kyn in the course of this event, and therefore wants to offer a unique opportunity to the shop-goers. She will hold a long-term auction and a few contests for the chance to get your own custom cosplay Pokemon Kyn - especially special because cosplays aren't available as customs.

Open Drawer Auction

Start Date and Time: Tuesday the 26th of August at 5pm EST
End Date and Time: Sunday the 21st of September at 5pm EST
Minimum Bid: 10ooo gold

What You're Bidding On
Fully custom, no-holds-barred, Pokemon Cosplay Kyn. The only limitation is that you cannot get a Ditto, and you cannot get a Cosplay of a Kyn that has already been made into a Pokemon - unless it's a color variation (Clone or Shiny) or a different gender. The catch is that the Pokemon will only be growing if the auction exceeds 20,000 gold.

Waffles will be accepting certain items, listed below, at the values listed below, in addition to pure gold.


Inari's Beads (Gen 5 or lower) - 140K
Inari's Beads (Gen 6 or higher) - 60K
Kelp o' the Lock (Gen 1) - 88K
Kelp o' the Lock (Gen 2) - 40K
Yama no Tamago (Gen 1 or 2) - 30K
Padmavati's Lotus (Gen 1 or 2) - 50K
Hermes' Moon (Any Gen) - 110K

To bid on the Open Drawer Auction, post in bold, gold, large font: Open the Drawer and Let Me In! followed by your bid.

Page Rewards

On every 100th page, the posters that aren't just spamming will be entered into a raffle for an adult-only custom Pokemon Kyn. The restrictions are that this Pokemon must not be identical to another one already made - meaning that you must have a shiny, clone, or opposite gender, and it cannot be a Ditto.

If we make it to page 500, then the posters there will be entered into a raffle for a growing custom Pokemon Kyn.
Pick-Ups

All Pokemon Kyn will be certed and posted in this pick-up area. It is expected of those participating in the event to pick them up from here, and to post in the Kyn Guild's Kyn Link thread under the OOC and Storage subforum the permanent link to the adult Kyn for the owner's list.

Owners will not be PMed with tagged Kyn from this event - it's simply too large to handle that.
