Misc. Gaming: The Great Egg Swap III: Summer of Swappage

[ForeverKip]

Hosted by Kip and Forever

As promised, we're back for GT8!
(Yes, this is Kip btw )

What better way to celebrate the coming together of so many Pokémon fans than a brand new Pokémon?

Welcome, one and all, to PokéCommunity's third Great Egg Swap!

How Does it Work?

1. Breed an egg. It can be absolutely anything you like - the more unusual the better!

2. Register your name here. Use the registration form below to register you name and friendcode. It will appear in the participant list and you will be assigned a number. You cannot begin swapping until you've been assigned a number.

3. Get swapping! Swap your egg with someone using the standard Wi-Fi trading system, then swap that egg with someone else. Keep swapping with as many people as you can and earn points. The person with the most swaps at the end of the event wins a shiny new emblem (and second and third too, but only not as shiny). We would prefer if you asked another person to swap via. VM or PM (their names will link you to their profile).

4. Report it. Once you have completed your swap, post here using the report form below detailing who you swapped with. You need to do this to claim your points. 1 swap = 1 point for each participant.

You can start swapping on the 15th July and once you have been assigned a Participant Number, and will end on the 18th July (the exact time tends to vary depending on how the event plays out - we will give you a time closer to the end). You can register all throughout the event, but bear in mind that the sooner you do it the sooner your name gets on the list, and the more swaps you can do!

And of course, after it has finished, be sure to post which Pokémon you got!

A Few Rules...

1. You may only breed ONE egg yourself. Once you have traded that egg, you cannot breed another.

2. You may only use one game to swap. You cannot swap eggs using multiple games.

3. The swap is open to Generation V games only (Black & White). No Generation IV games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver) are allowed (for compatibility reasons, sorry ). However, you are not restricted to just Generation V Pokémon. Breed whatever you want from any Generation!

4. Your swap points will only be counted when both users post to report the swap. Kip and Forever have final say on who has what points. Your points WILL NOT COUNT if both of you do not post using this method. If you're still unsure on how it all works, we suggest you have a look through last time's thread.

5. Once you have swapped, you may not swap with the same participant again until you have both swapped with another participant. Try to avoid swapping with the same person - instead swap with as many different people as possible. Try to avoid trading triangles - if you're swapping in a triangle it's just the same three eggs going round and round. Try waiting for others to come online.

6. DO NOT LET THE EGG HATCH. This is essential. If you have to put it in a PC Box in order to prevent it from hatching then do so. Just make sure you can find it again.

7. NO HACKED EGGS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. You may not use cheat codes or any form of modding software to create an egg that is not legitimately obtainable in the games (e.g. a Mew egg). Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified from this event and referred to a moderator.

Registration Form

Username: (Your PC username is required, but you may add a trainer name if you wish. It will appear in brackets next to your name.)

Game:

Friendcode:

Report Form

If you're the first to report the swap:

Swapped with: (Participant Number) + (Participant Name)

If you're the second, quote the first post:

(Quote of first report)

Confirmed. Swapped with: (Participant Number) + (Participant Name)

Feel free to post comments or discussion points along with the report, just make sure the report comes first so we can keep track of your points.

Remember: If there is not two participant numbers in a confirmation post (1 in the quote, 1 in your post) the points will not count.

Banner

If you like, you can advertise the Great Egg Swap in your signature with this nifty banner.

OK, following the situation with Esoj, the following will apply.

If you want to claim your Pokémon back from Esoj (who took 8 Eggs for themself), you may do so.

You must follow these instructions:

1. Post in the thread which Pokémon you have claimed (copy and paste from the list).
2. If it does not look like anyone else has claimed the Pokémon, PM me about it.
3. Follow my instructions in my PM reply.

Esoj hatched the following Pokémon:

E001 female Snivy, jolly, leech seed
E002 male Ducklett, naive, water gun, aerial ace, bubblebeam, f-dance
E003 male Zorua, lonely, scratch, leer,
E004 male Eevee, timid, tail whip, tackle, h-hand
E005 male Oshawott, quirky, tackle, surf, x-scissor
E006 female Mudkip, mild, surf, tackle if I'm not wrong
E007 female Emolga, naive, shock wave, acrobatics
E008 male Pichu, lax, encore, thunderbolt, grass knot, v-tackle

I will strike-through any Pokémon that have been successfully claimed back.

If you cannot trade right now and want either myself or Forever to claim back a Pokémon on your behalf, please write "I give permission for Kip or Forever to claim this Pokémon on my behalf".

Hopefully this sounds fair.

So - good luck and have fun! If there are any questions/concerns/problems please feel free to PM any of us.

Enjoy the rest of GT8!
