This is really cool that PPN decided to do this. I am sure there are going to be a lot of people entering, so good luck to everyone who does. And thanks to PPN for being very generous.

[Forgotten_hope]

[MegaDitto]

i would like to ask a question...what is PPN?o and btw this sounds like a very cool contest.
It is a community site.Look at the top index. It would say Pokemon Place Network.

[Trikip]

Nice idea Steve! I'm sure many people will enter.

[mvtm]

What members have to do , to win the prize? , anyways i am not interested at all , but its nice ^^
Thanks Steve

Odd. I got it mixed up with place all this time. Thanks for telling me. How can we enter though.

[Pokemon Master #1]

It's no problem really.There's no details on how to enter yey.Keyword in there is yet.I must say this contest cought me by surprise.

[MegaDitto]

It's no problem really.There's no details on how to enter yey.Keyword in there is yet.I must say this contest cought me by surprise.I was talking about later.

[Geometric-sama]

Oh wow! I'd love to win this contest, it'd mean I got Emerald before almost anyone else in the country XD

[Thomas]

There is a similar thing from Nintendo Power (I think) Giving out 5 grand prize winners Booster packs, starter set, and deyoxs dvds...

[Silver Pearl]

oh cool! i cant wait! but i dont think my parents allow me to win anything. or they are just saying that to make me feel bad.

[Rukario]

I can tell you all this much, it'll involve a simple skills test and a random drawing.. We expect the contest to begin around mid April, and run thru May.. for the details though, you'll have to wait till it's posted at PPN..

so.. study up on your Pokemon facts and trivia... :)

[Lust]

This is very cool. I don't think I've seen anything of this sort in any other forums.

[Kyogre-chan]

Not sure that this would apply to me, being an Australian, but still, 'tis quite a generous thing to do! ^_^

[Bay-kun]

This sounds really cool. ^__^ And the tests would be a fun way to try and win as well. ^^

[Mr Cat Dog]

Are you going to ship to countries outside the US/Canada? If so, I might enter this ^_^ (I did come 1st in one of the official Nintendo contests *gloat*)

[Dawson]

I'm so gonna enter! I'd be a lot more confident if it was all down to skill and not a random draw though, I'm too unlucky to win those...

[Rukario]

it'll be skill based.. we're building a large pool of questions and we'll pick the top ranked ones to be winners.. only the grand prize selections will be randomized (so far)

[Happy Dude]

This sounds cool.Is this open to Australians though.

[Dawson]

it'll be skill based.. we're building a large pool of questions and we'll pick the top ranked ones to be winners.. only the grand prize selections will be randomized (so far)
Oh, that makes it a lot more appealing then! I can't wait for it to start now XD

[Chrono Cr@cker]

This sounds really nice, I think Steve is in a very generous mood. Anyway does this depend on art or drawing skills.

I'm not going to participate due to certain reasons but all the best to everyone who does and may the best Pokéfan win!

~ CC

[Rukario]

nope no drawing at all - this time.. hehe

it'll be a Pokemon trivia / knowledge based quiz type of thing..

[Thomas]

Well then I have no chace of winning unless it is about the games XD

[Happy Dude]

That sounds cool.But will I be allowed to enter.

[Mr Cat Dog]

Yeah, you didn't answer if you're going to ship the prizes outside of America, Steve. Are you?

[Chrono Cr@cker]

Yeah, you didn't answer if you're going to ship the prizes outside of America, Steve. Are you?

Maybe he's not decided it yet! Anyway don't you think the costs would be a bit high if he does decide that?

Ahh...A trivia, that does sound interesting.

~ CC

[Dawson]

Not necessarily CC. When I had my DS shipped over to England it only cost me £7 in shipping fees, and the odds of an English member beating all the Americans is pretty slim anyway.

[loony]

yea is it shipping outside because than i gonan enter :P on mine pokemon trading card game was a quiz got all the qeustions good^_^

[Bay-kun]

Yeah, you didn't answer if you're going to ship the prizes outside of America, Steve. Are you?


Click on the link to the contest in his first post, and go into the rules link. That should answer your question.

[Mr Cat Dog]

Can we enter the contest, but not actually want the prize or anything?

[Dawson]

'Tis a shame, I wanted to win the prizes too...

[Xicer]

I want to join the contest I'm might not be here that long do I'll try

[Rukario]

anyone can enter..... You just have to be a USA or Canada resident to be elgible for the prizes.. :)

even if you don't want to win, the trivia quiz should be fun..

[ravenstorture]

15 days until it is open. I am getting excited now. :)

[DarkAngel]

Good luck to all who's going to participate on the contest.

[Lust]

I think I might do it. I probably won't win though.

[Blissey Trainer 8290]

im thinking about doing it, but im at the biggest disadvantage, lol, i dont even have emerald version, or even ruby/sapphire, lol..... i guess ill have to study, XD

[Rukario]

the question topics are from all over the Pokemon realm.. TV show, games (blue - emerald, N64/NGC) the card game.. and so on.. Any good fan of Pokemon should have a good chance of winning. :)

[Blissey Trainer 8290]

maybe id have a chance if not alot of questions are from r/s or emerald, lol, cause i know everything else, but no one around where i live likes pokemon, so its kinda hard to keep up with everything

[Happy Dude]

Oh Yay.I'm going to enter But if I win i'll give it to 3 REGIS or something.

[Rukario]

10 more days 'till it opens..

hope you all are studying up.. some of the questions are quite hard. :)

[Shikon no Tama]

Cool, a contest to win Emerald. I'm in, but what do you have to do to win?

[Rukario]

You'll see when it opens :)

It'll be fun (we hope) and challenging..

[goiterboy]

Can people in Australia enter this thing because I kinda wanted to win

[Happy Dude]

Scott,We can enter but if we win a prize it won't count.But i'm playing anyways.

[goiterboy]

You told me that already ben. anyway i'll still enter.

[Rukario]

It's almost time.... less then 2 hours as I post this...

I hope to see some of you as winners!!

[Bullados]

Just tried to take it, but the text of the questions won't show up. Right now, I am using Internet Explorer on a eMac with Mac OS 9.1, and it simply refuses to show me any sort of text on the questions.

[Mr Cat Dog]

Worked for me on Firefox 1.0.2... try that.

[Rukario]

You NEED javascript to be enabled. it works perfectly in all tested browsers.. (all mainstream browsers for Windows, linux, or Apple)

If you decide to switch browsers, let me know either here or in a PM and we'll get you reset so you can take the quiz.

[saul]

Hey it started! ^^ I did it I missed 7 xD not THAT good I got 18/25 questions right

[JDS]

Yeah, I can't vouch for the functionality of the scripting on a Mac IE client..IE Mac is notoriously buggy. Best to try Konqueror or Firefox, as they should behave fine. Unfortunately, I didn't have access to a mac to do any debugging on the code.

[tmbjr]

I just took it and got 20 out of 25 right.

I thinkl I missed the questions about "Mewtwo Strikes Back" and "Pokémon Stadium"

[MegaDitto]

I tried to enter the contest but it said, http://pokeleague.net/trivia.php
.I did Not really enter.What's wrong?.0_o.

[Rukario]

If you loaded the trivia page and didn't complete the quiz, you can NOT reload it again.. it's an anti-cheat feature.

[MegaDitto]

If you loaded the trivia page and didn't complete the quiz, you can NOT reload it again.. it's an anti-cheat feature.
I only went to where you type your address and I log off to do it another time.

[Happy Dude]

I got 17/25 Questions.

Some of those TM questions were hard though.

But nice contest Steve.

[Silver Pearl]

hmm, so, do you have to get all the trivia questions right or thats just for fun?

[Happy Dude]

Well I guess it's serious for the people who live in America.

If you don't live in America you can't win a prize.

[ianp622]

Is this mostly old stuff, new stuff, or half and half? I'm pretty clueless about Sapphire and Ruby, half clueless about GS, and pretty good with RB. Should I even bother or try to study the new stuff?

[Rukario]

It's based on the top entries..

The questions are a mix of old and new from the TV series, the games, and the movies. There are easy, medium, and (5) hard ones.. in random order.

[Blissey Trainer 8290]

umm... steve, question..

i went to the page, and i got the error message that said i took it, but i didnt refresh or anything.... i really want to take it, but it wont let me... please help if you are able

[Rukario]

did u visit the trivia page but not sign-up / play? if so, it has 'seen' you already.. once you load the sign-up / questions page you have to complete the quiz or you won't be able to at all.

[Golden Groudon]

hahaha *Dreams of doing the quiz while using Serebii to cheat....*

Do the time affect your results?

[Rukario]

in order to properly answer your question, I'd have to say: YES.

[Blissey Trainer 8290]

grr, very aggrevating... i dont know how that happened... i never went to the page before, and then it says i cant because i supposidely already went there, but i didnt... im very frustrated... i was looking forward to this for a good time now... in my personal opinion, i dont really think this is the best way to do a contest... there should have been a sign up, and then a quiz, just in case someone went to the sign up and their computer crashed, they wouldnt have to worry, because they never entered... i think its strange that once you click, you are entered... and my computer was acting strangely yesterday... then i got disconnected.. but i cant be in control... i just wish i could take the quiz..... oh well...

***************EDIT******************
what do you need to take it?? like what program? i got to the quiz, but i couldnt do anything... like i saw a question, and i typed out my info, but nothing to click on...

[* Jade *]

I got all 25/25 right :)

[Happy Dude]

Good job Jason.But us Australians can't win prizes.

[* Jade *]

Why limit prizes to Americans? That is so unfair, you should have given out to international users. This is Discrimination which is really bad. :/

[Rukario]

After filling in your info, you just click on the 'question numbers' found at bottom of the dex image. there are also ">>" "<<" things to switch between the 25 questions.. once you satisfied with your answers, and your info is correct, click finalize answers.


As for not allowing those outside North America, it'sa not up to me.. I would have loved to incluse everyone, but since this is a promo for the NA release of both emerald for gba and the ex emerald TCG, i had to limit it to the USA and Canada.

[smithy.boy]

i rushed it ant just got 17

[mvtm]

Can i enter if my brother is an usa resident??

Note: I am not one.

[Forci Stikane]

Just wrong place at wrong time...

...but I'm happy :). I just took it and got 22 out of 25. I didn't realize Mudkip learned an attack at level 11, though...I thought it was level 10.

[Vicener]

Darn! I only got 13 out of 25 questions correctly. :(

[Silver Pearl]

i got 15/25 right. woo hoo.

[Dawson]

I got 21/25 right...too bad I couldn't enter properly though :\

[Rukario]

HeH, thats pretty good Phoenix....

well so far, our contest is doing very well.. we've had some 1000+ entries in the first week (well since monday, anyway) ..

So if you run a site please put up our little ad banner for me, k? thanks!

Also remember to tell all your friends to play too..

[Blaze]

i got 23/25 this two anime question through me off ><

[Bastiko Pradhana]

15 out of 25. At least the fun is in the journey, regardless of how everything turns out.

[Rukario]

Indeed.. it is a lot of fun and we structured the questions to cover a broad range of Pokemon knowledge.

[Rukario]

Ok, we re-opened our contest although with a few less prizes as we were unable work out a deal with Nintendo or Pokémon USA. So PPN will provide the prizes now... you can still Win a Pokémon Emerald GBA Game, and hopefully we'll be able to add a few more runner-up prizes..Pokemon Emerald

So... go on and check it out, and if you played it already, you'll need to do it again as all previous entries were removed. the contest is located at www.pokeleague.net

[Gyardosamped]

This is cool!
Go Emrald"Im playing it right now"

[mark np]

i got 11 out of 25. there were a few card game questions, and i don't play that. didn't feel like looking up the info though. laaazy.

[DarknessMonkey]

Could we still win if we get 15 out of 25 right?

[Rukario]

there's a chance.... though the higher your score, the better your chance of winning....

we'll take the 7 top scorers and if one is higher then all the others, they will win the grand prize, and so on..

[Bay-kun]

Ok, we re-opened our contest although with a few less prizes as we were unable work out a deal with Nintendo or Pokémon USA. So PPN will provide the prizes now... you can still Win a Pokémon Emerald GBA Game, and hopefully we'll be able to add a few more runner-up prizes..Pokemon Emerald

Do we need to replay now that the contest has reopened? Because I tried to, but it says I already submitted my entry. So I'm hoping not.

[クリス]

I just entered & I got 18 out of 25... I hope I did well enough for top 7. o.o;

[Rukario]

Yeah Bay-Kun, you'll ned to clear your cookies first then play again.. all the previous scores and whatnot were removed.

[Bay-kun]

Yeah Bay-Kun, you'll ned to clear your cookies first then play again.. all the previous scores and whatnot were removed.

Ok, thanks for the information.

Edit: I just took the quiz again and got 17 correct, when last time I got 21. O.o;; There were to many TCG questions this time around that I didn't know. XD

[Koriaku]

I Tried But It Says I Couldn't Enter, And I Never Did.

[Kyogre-chan]

16/25? That's a bit low. Guess I'm slipping a bit too far out of the Pokémon fandom.

[Thomas]

I got 20/25 I hope that is good enought to get in the top 7 :)

[Rukario]

Pokemonfan: clear your cookies.. if you still can't enter, PM me for solutions.. That goes for anyone who has an issue with the contest quiz..

Thomas-san: GOOD JOB... I hope it's enough too and I want to wish you good luck.

[Silver Pearl]

[Rukario]
