The 2015 Yearly Quest: Build a Region!
That's right, Shiny Hunters!! It's now 2015, and 2015 is the year of region-building!! You get to create your own land of shiny wonders, inhabited by whatever shinies you find!! This will be a little different from previous Quests: there will be tiers to further test your shiny skills!!
Tier I:
1) Find three shiny Pokemon who could serve as starters. One must be a Grass-type, one must be a Fire-type, and one must be a Water-type. All three must have three evolutionary stages.
2) Find a shiny legendary!
Tier II:
Well, a region with just starters and a legendary is pretty small, isn't it? Maybe just a small island or something. Your region is probably one of those tiny Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres islands with a bag of starter Pokeballs on it! Let's fill it in with some more Pokemon to create a route!!
3) Find a shiny Normal-type with one evolution. It must be able to learn an HM move!
4) Find a shiny Water-type!
Tier III: The Forest!
5) Find a shiny Bug-type with three evolutionary stages!
6) Find another shiny Bug-type! This one can have as many or as few evolutions as you'd like.
7) Find a shiny Grass-type!
Tier IV: The River!
8) Find a shiny Water-type!
9) Find a shiny Grass-type!
10) Find a shiny Ground-type!
Tier VI:
You now have a good region, replete with a route and a river and Pokemon to dwell there! But now it's time to make your region something of your own...specialize your region! Add something that gives it some character!
Tier VI Challenge: Find 5 shinies of the same type!
Tier VII:
Stones have washed up on the shore...
Tier VII Challenge:
1) Find a shiny with a Mega Evolution!
2) Find a shiny that can evolve via Leaf, Water, or Fire Stone!
3) Find a shiny that can evolve via Sun, Dawn, or Dusk Stone!
Tier VIII:
Make your region the best! Build the myth; create the legend!
Tier VIII Challenge:
1) Create a shiny legendary trio of three legendaries of different types or three legendaries of the same type!
2) Create a legendary duo of two legendary Dragon- or Flying-type shinies!
At the end of the year, we'll see who has the best region! Feel free to add your own personal challenges by creating sidequests such as caves or oceans!
To get everyone started off on the same page, the first Monthly Quest of 2015 is going to be a little bit different! I now present to you...
The January Monthly Quest!!
Happy January!

As always, chained and Safari Pokemon are not eligible to count for the Quest. The Yearly Quest Tiers must be completed in order.
