Hey Mitch! :3 Leaf Storm is a bit busy with other mentees right now, but I can ask Kura about taking you on if that'd be all right with you! I'll get back to you as soon as she replies. ^^

ye that'll be great, with her 3d animation experience and since she lives in my tome zone it should be awesome

Danoon21 December 19th, 2012 4:02 PM

What topics am i most interested in? mainly i play just the original games and just want some tips on those, and some help with my team. For example right now i am playing pokemon silver and could use some others opinions.

CobaltChrome December 20th, 2012 10:30 AM

1. What section/board are you most interested in?
I'm most interested in learning about the Emulation and ROM Hacking part of the forums, because I like to play the games with challenges, and sometimes you can get bored of the same plot over and over, so fan-made games often appeal to me.
2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
Well, as I said, I really want to learn about ROM Hacking, but I suppose I'd also quite like to check out the Art boards.
3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
Well, I'd like to get trading and battling, because I'm pretty good at those things, and I like participating in anime chats and just generally about pokemon.

I'm not really fussed who's my mentor, as long as I get someone who can help me understand Emulation. Thank you :)

Meganium December 20th, 2012 5:19 PM

Actually, I am available to take in a few mentees! :)

So, you're saying you like the older games? And you want team help for that? If you mainly interested in team help (whether it'd be competitive or casual), then I say Forever and PlatinumDude are good choices to help you with your team, and maybe learn more about team building. ;)

If you're more interested in the games you're playing right now, then Cirno would suggest Sydian & bobandbill, as they are both mentors of General Pokemon Gaming sections. :)

For emulation (judging by the mentor list), DrFuji and atif are available to help you out with that as well as show you around the Emulation sections. I'm also up for showing you around Emulation if you more into learning how the ROM hacking sections work. So, really...it's all up to you. :P

CobaltChrome December 21st, 2012 5:32 AM

Can I be mentored by DrFuji then please?

Sheep December 21st, 2012 1:19 PM

Ahh sorry for the slow reply, guys! I had some internet problems and the new router just came in, so I'm back in action~

Like Leaf Storm said, I think Forever and PlatinumDude would be excellent mentors for team-related/Battle Center help, though there's also bobandbill/Sydian for the older generations. :3 Take your pick!

Sure thing, I'll go ask him now and let you know ASAP! ^^

BlackBloodWizard December 26th, 2012 6:23 PM

What a magickal idea!
 
1. What section/board are you most interested in?

Trading probably, I'd really like to try to accumulate some specific pokemon and items to try to get the most out of my game.

2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?

Maybe competitive battling, and maybe even roleplay!

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
get pokemons, meet likeminded people, have fun.

TwilightBlade might be open for the Trade Corner right now if you'd like someone to show you around that section, but there's also PlatinumDude and Forever for Battle Center, as well as Miss Doronjo and Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers for Roleplay Corner. :D Who would you like?

BlackBloodWizard December 26th, 2012 7:29 PM

TwilightBlade please! =Un.nU= and I will try my darnedest to not refer to Blade as TwilightSparkle :3 *giggles*

Unless of course Blade enjoys the nickname *crosses finger hopefully*

I'm only teasing! :D... maybe.

Hi there, I can adopt you and help you out in Trade. I'll send you my contacts. :)

I've watched a bit of My Little Pony, so I wouldn't particularly mind being called after the studious one. :P

BlackBloodWizard December 27th, 2012 1:02 PM

Hooray! =Un.nU= I'm so excited! *huggles*

CobaltChrome December 27th, 2012 1:04 PM

Hey, I've still not been contacted by DrFuji. Should I try to contact him?

He might just be busy, but I could get in contact with atif, our other Emulation mentor, for you. D: Sorry about that! I'll ask Fuji again if he's available since he might have missed the message and if neither him nor atif are available, I can take you on. ^^

CobaltChrome December 27th, 2012 1:13 PM

Ok, that sounds great! :)

Kirito-kun December 27th, 2012 9:42 PM

Role-playing section and hacking.

Meet alot of people and having fun

Shadow Wolf December 27th, 2012 10:44 PM

Emulation

2.What other section/board do you want to learn more about?
Rom hacking more specific scripting

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
to get on some team rom hacking

IStreamSandwich December 28th, 2012 3:53 AM

Not sure if breaking any rules here tbh. I did apply for the Art and Design section but haven't really done much there. At all. But this is something i'm VERY interested in as i received a DSi for Christmas :P

1. What section/board are you most interested in?
I'm not sure which section it would be. I want to learn all about EV Training/IV Training/Natures/Hidden Abilities and all things like that to make my Pokemon unique and valuable.
2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
Anything to do with the above.
3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
Again, anything from the above.

We have Jellicent♀ available for Black 2 and White 2, PlatinumDude and Forever for Battle Center, and Sydian, TwilightBlade, and Livewire for Trade Corner. :3 Would you like any of them since those three sections seem to be your primary interests?

Atif should be open for Emulation, I'll get in contact with him and reply to you soon! Just make sure you don't only want an Emulation mentor to help you with your hack since they're supposed to be for helping you around the section. ^^

Sadly you can't change mentors, but since I was your original mentor and am a global mentor, I can go ahead and teach you about the Trade Corner/Battle Center since they have to do with IVs/EVs/training and the like. :3

IStreamSandwich December 28th, 2012 8:46 AM

Oh joy :)
I am interested as EV/IV trained Pokemon seem to be the most traded. That or untouched special pokemon or whatever.
I look forward to chatting soon :)

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
Or you can just say what section(s) you want to learn more about and I'll list compatible mentors for you. :3 But it seems like you'd be into the Battle Center, which is where you can get your teams rated and general team help, so we have PlatinumDude and Forever available for that if you're interested!

Timeboy10 December 28th, 2012 6:43 PM

actually im more interested in breeding pokemon

Mysonne December 29th, 2012 5:02 PM

1. What section/board are you most interested in?

I'm interested in the battling board, mainly. I always thought it was cool how people could battle competitively with strong EV's Pokemon. I'd really like to learn since I'm at a loss for hobbies. If possible, could I have Forever as a mentor? I read some threads and it seem like they're the best battler here.

2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
Maybe the entertainment one because I like and produce music. I'm also interested in writing Pokemon fanfiction but I probably need some guides to follow. Black and White might be cool also since I just bought the games and want to talk about hem.

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
Just have fun here and maybe accomplish something battling :)

Sheep December 29th, 2012 5:15 PM

JadedGrizzly December 31st, 2012 5:50 PM

Hi Cirno, here is my application

1. What section/board are you most interested in?

I am mostly into learning about ROM hacking and anyway I can help with it. I am also a bit of a competitive battler so I would like to learn about that section as well if that is okay.

2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
Well I guess some one, if they mind, could show me around the Video Game section, since I like video games :D, also, if there is an sort of art type of section, since i like to do things on Photoshop and what not.

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
I'm not quite sure, I guess debate would be cool, and as always I would like just to chill out, make some new friends and have a good time!

I will sometime be a little inactive sometimes because of school, but I will try to be active as much as I can!

Mewtwomew December 31st, 2012 6:47 PM

1. What section/board are you most interested in? None in particular. 2. What other sections/boards do you want t venture in and and learn more about? I'd like to explore ALL OF THEEEM 3. Are there any specific things you like to d while you're here? Pixel art, EV training tips, and just battle strategies in general, preesh.

Atif should be open for ROM Hacking right now as well as PlatinumDude for Battle Center. ^^ Hybrid Trainer and Captain Fabio are open for Video Games too, plus Derozio for Art & Design! Who would you like?

So are you looking for a global mentor? I'm open to mentor you if you're interested, though Leaf Storm should also be open~ take your pick!

Ou seem like a good choice. Cirno! I choose you!

JadedGrizzly January 1st, 2013 8:29 AM

If it is okay, could Atif be my mentor? Thanks, and one other question, when I think I understand one section, would it be possible to select a new mentor to show me around the other parts of PC?

Sadly no, you can't reapply for another mentor afterwards. D: If you'd really like to learn about more than just one part of the site though you can always apply for a global mentor. Should I still contact Atif for you, or do you want to request a global mentor? Leaf Storm might be open right now!

I'm really interested in the Pokemon Clubs, so I can make new friends with common interests!

Well, I don't really do competitive battling over Wi-Fi, but I do it on Pokemon Showdown, so that learning about strategies would be really fun!

Sup, Clay? This is Cider from Showdown, btw! I'm glad that you decided to seek for a mentor here, and I'll suggest a few people based on what you filled in your form. c:

AlexOzzyCake is available for Pokémon Clubs if you'd like him to mentor you in that place specifically. You might know him as Squirrel on the server, so I'm sure you guys are already acquainted. :D Also, Forever (~skylight) will also be glad to take you in if you'd like to become more of a Battle Center regular. And judging from what you put in the third question, I'm also here if you'd like a global mentor, of course! Take your pick. :)

Thanks Cid! Well I admire all of them greatly, but I've gotta go with Ozzy!

Sydian would probably be perfect for you since she is a mentor for the entire General Pokemon Gaming board. :3 But there's also AlexOzzyCake, who mentors Pokemon Clubs. Who would you like?

1. What section/board are you most interested in?
- Advance Generation Games
- Metal and Color Generation Games

2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
- Honestly, I'd love to be able to learn about and stay active in every board. I am fairly interested in the competitive battling section though, since I never really got involved with it and I'd love to learn some strategies and set up my own teams.

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
- Just be involved with community discussions and make friends. I'd love to get recognized here!

If you'd like a global mentor, Cid should be open as well as myself (Cirno), though we also have Sydian for both Metal and Advance Gen Games. ^^ Battle Center has been pretty popular lately too, and I believe PlatinumDude is open in that area. Take your pick!

Ah, we usually go contact the applicant's chosen mentor ourselves (either I do it or Cirno, immediately after you choose and reply here with your pick) through VM. I'll go do it right now. :3

If the person's available, then they'll immediately send you a PM. :) If not, then we say so here and we proceed to suggest another mentor. ^^;

1. What section/board are you most interested in? I'm kind of interested in a lot. For now I'd say Fanfic & Writing would be my main board.
2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about? I'd like to get more familiar with the more in-depth concepts of battling. I think the general Pokemon Gaming Central board, General Pokemon board, and Art & Design are also areas I'd like to get acquainted with.
3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here? I'd like to learn the general battle fundamental in Gen V, contribute to the Fan Fiction and Art sections, and just share my appreciation for Pokemon in general.

Thanks for your time~

Ooh, writing! We have the awesome Astinus open Fanfiction & Writing, she also moderates it. :3 But Derozio is also open for Art & Design, PlatinumDude for Battle Center, Sydian for General Pokemon Gaming, aaand Toujours for Pokemon General. Take your time to choose and feel free to reply back once you've decided!

MichaelSK16 January 6th, 2013 5:53 PM

Hi Cirno~
Thanks for replying so quickly and suggesting so many people to me! I've been thinking about it for a while and I think I'd like to be mentored by Astinus. I feel that since FanFiction is what I want to be most involved in, it's probably best for me to learn the ropes there and kind of pick the rest up along the way.

Once again, thanks for your quick reply and helpful suggestions~
-Michael

1. What section/board are you most interested in? Places to be social (ie: not just fact spewing) I really enjoy social networking and just chatting with people :) I'd honestly love to have a writing mentor who won't cringe at the fact that I write scripts. (I promise, they're quality scripts. I just think in "movie" format more so than book)

2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
I have no idea what all the hacking section is all about, but I keep passing it and wanting to check it out. I used to draw a little bit when I was younger, and I've been doodling my plans for my storyline here and there, so maybe a little bit of that? I have an intuos laying around somewhere >____>

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
I just like chatting with people, so if my mentor had skype (dont worry, no phone/video calls! Just IM) that'd be awesome.

Welcome to PC, SonGom! ^^
To get a mentor, just fill this form up, from our handy-dandy first post:
Quote:

1. What section/board are you most interested in?
2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
As for how to fill that up:
Quote:

1. What section/board are you most interested in? Tell us what you're most interested in doing here on PC! Something like, "I am a competitive battler and want to learn more about the Competitive Battling Center section" or "I like to trade, so I'd like to explore the Trade Corner part of the forum" would be ideal!

2. What other section/board do you want to learn more about? The difference between this question and the first is that while the first question would list your primary mentor choice, this question would be your secondary. So if you like to trade a lot and want a Trade Corner mentor but also would be interested in learning more about roleplaying and the Roleplay Corner section, say that here! It's basically there incase the mentor you requested in question #1 isn't available, or if we have a mentor on board who specializes in both (or more than two if you listed more) of the sections you're interested in.

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here? This is just a general question about whatever else you plan on doing here on PC. If you're planning on getting involved in some debates over at Other Chat & Discussions or digging around the Black 2 and White 2 forum, say so! It's not required to answer this, so if you do not want to fill it out, that's totally fine. n_n
However, you said you'd like a global mentor? I can take you in if you'd like! :DD Cirno's got her hands full with a whopping four mentees, while Cid here's still available. :3 Just reply here if you'd like me to mentor you, and I'll send you a PM to get in touch. :)

EDIT: I received your PM. I'll add you to my mentees list now. :3

Deloop January 9th, 2013 2:04 PM

I certainly need some help getting around this place. ^^

1. What section/board are you most interested in? I really enjoy roleplaying and even have somewhat of an idea for one so I guess the Roleplay Corner is the best place for someone like me! :)

2. What other section/board do you want to learn more about? Well, I would like to learn more about the fourth and fifth generations of Pokemon games so sign me up for that. :P

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here? Maybe check out the video games section and the writing section as well.

[supporter]Miss Doronjo[/supporter], [supporter]PkMn Trainer Yellow[/supporter], and [supporter]Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers[/supporter] should all be open for the Roleplay Corner. <: But there's also Curious. and [supporter]Rainbow Arcanine[/supporter] open for 4th gen plus Jellicent♀ for Black 2 & White 2 as well as Forever for Black & White! Aaand if you're wanting to try Video Games, [supporter]Pave Low[/supporter], Captain Fabio, and Hybrid Trainer are open in that area. Astinus should be open for Fanfiction & Writing, too. Lots of choices! Go ahead and pick one and reply back when you're ready~

Deloop January 10th, 2013 8:42 AM

Wow...you're not making this easy for me, are you? O_o However, I want to focus on learning about the Roleplay Corner for the time being, and after checking out the bios, I think [supporter]Red's Hawt Chibi Pelippers[/supporter] would be a great mentor! :D

liskinsforwins January 12th, 2013 9:51 AM

This cite is huuuuuuge. Help. :0 I probably need it.

1. What section/board are you most interested in?
I am really interested in learning the ins and outs of most aspects of the board. I'm curious, in particular, about Trade, and roleplay (as an English major) sounds interesting.

2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
I've always been interesting in competitive battle, but I've never really gotten into it besides the occasional bout with a friend or two. However, I'd want to collect my dream-team first, obviously.

3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
Meet people who respect Pokemon as a legit video game! Learn what breeding is about! Generally just have fun and be PokeAwesome!

Seems like you'd like a global mentor, in which case Cid should be open for that! :3 But if you're looking to learn about sections separately, we have TwilightBlade and Livewire for Trade Corner, [supporter]Miss Doronjo[/supporter] and [supporter]PkMn Trainer Yellow[/supporter] for Roleplay Corner, and PlatinumDude for Battle Center! Take your pick. :D

liskinsforwins January 12th, 2013 12:46 PM

I think Cid sounds like a good match, having scattered interests as I do. :] Also, we both are JRPG fans!

Isamu Akai January 12th, 2013 4:58 PM

Trade Corner might be a good place for you; we have Livewire and TwilightBlade open in that section, but also PlatinumDude for Battle Center if you'd like to learn about battling. =D Take your pick!

Heya! :3 [supporter]Miss Doronjo[/supporter] and [supporter]PkMnTrainer Yellow[/supporter] are both open for Roleplay Corner right now! But if you'd like a Battle Center mentor instead, PlatinumDude should should be open in that area. TwilightBlade and Livewire are both traders and breeders so they should be able to help you out for the Trade Corner/breeding! Take your pick~

izaahgertsema January 17th, 2013 7:48 AM

Twilightblade would be awsome

GenuineCorruption January 17th, 2013 8:01 PM

1. What section/board are you most interested in?
The trade corner.
2. What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and and learn more about?
Challenges possibly, as they sound like a good way to keep the games fresh. I also want to discuss the Pokemon games in general.
3. Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
I eventually want to become an official pokemon cloner. I've got a lot of work ahead in order to become qualified but I'm up for it.

Hi there GenuineCorruption! For your trading and cloning interests, we have Trade Corner mentors like Livewire and TwilightBlade ready to take you in. Know that TwilightBlade already has two mentees though, so it's gonna be harder for her handling a lot of mentees, which might (just speculating) make it a little more difficult to get her at a good time, compared to a mentor who will only have you to take in, like Livewire maybe? Still, they're both available, so pick whoever your heart desires! Just the one you really wanna have as a mentor, haha. But yeah, there's a cloning thread in Trade Corner, too! So you might want to get toured around that place with your mentor. :3 Unfortunately, our mentors for Challenges and General Pokemon Gaming Discussions aren't available. Not to worry, you can pick between two great mentors anyway. Go on and choose, buddy.

Pokemaster234 January 19th, 2013 5:29 AM

Hey Crino.As you know,I am new here.So,Would you reccommend me to have
a mentor?

Cid January 19th, 2013 6:26 AM

Cirno's not on right now, but personally I'd say that it's highly recommended that you get one! It'll be a great way to get around this huge forum. :)

First thing to do to get one is to look at the first post, fill out the form there, and post it right here. I'll go on ahead and paste it here for easy reference:

After you fill it up, we'll suggest a few people that cater to your needs and you pick which person you'd like to have as your mentor! Then we'll get in touch with him/her. Finally, me, Cirno or the mentor himself/herself will inform you if they are okay with it; if yes then the mentor will take over from there. :3 Hope this helps!

Having friends is a pretty huge undertaking that doesn't restrict within a single section, but pretty much everywhere on PC. You'll have to be familiar with VMs and other means of talking to people, while still posting around and concentrating on the forums that you particularly fond, so that you don't spread yourself out too thinly. That being said, I think a global mentor would suit you best! There's [supporter]Leaf Storm[/supporter] (wait I'm still unsure if Megan's available, I'll have to ask her) and Cid (that's me) with mentee spots open for you to fill in! We'll both be able to show you around the whole place in general. Only one mentor per mentee, though, so choose which of us you'd like! :) Unless the chatting part you mentioned is specifically for serious discussion about topics unrelated to Pokémon, which the Other Chat section is pretty much all about. But probably not. :p

ClumzyTrainR13 January 19th, 2013 10:50 AM

What section/board are you most interested in? I'd say Battle Center, because I'd love to battle other people in the community and help me with my team.

What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and learn more about? Trade Corner, because whenever I go to check it out it seems they're talking about a bunch of gibberish abbhreviations such as IV's, RNG, DW, Ut, etc. I just want to learn more about the trading system and what people here are interested in so I can commonly be active in the trading community.

Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here? I would like to create an active Trade Shop and trade with others often so I can get used to the new concepts of trading and explore new battle styles with those pokemon.

PlatinumDude is open for Battle Center, but if you'd like to try Trade Corner we have tabor62 and Livewire open in that area. :3 They're all well-versed in those sections, so take your pick!

ClumzyTrainR13 January 19th, 2013 1:48 PM

Hmmm, I would like to be mentored by tabor62 if that's alright?

Meganium January 19th, 2013 10:13 PM

Hey, Pokemaster! I am available, and am willing to take you in if you like! :)

Also, I don't really have a minimum number of mentees for me to take in so I'm pretty much available unless otherwise noted~

Thereaperofdeath19 January 19th, 2013 10:23 PM

hmm i have no idea what mentor i want hmm i think i want a emulation mentor not sure though man i never though i be nervous on the internet wow

Cid January 20th, 2013 1:41 AM

Welcome to the forums, Reaper! :3 Aww don't be nervous. There's nothing to be nervous about! I was nervous when I was new too, but I realized that it was really irrational to be like that because as I say, no one's out to get you for making a small misstep or anything. :p Like if you feel like you might do something wrong, then don't worry too much about it. Just grasp the rules as much as you can, and if that isn't enough, then learn from your mistakes! Don't let it get to you.

Back to the topic, haha. Although it might have been cooler if you filled out the form I posted above, your post seems to tell me quite simply that you want an Emulation mentor. ^^; So if that's true, then we have DrFuji and Abnegation for that. Take your pick, then reply here which one you'd like so that we can try to get you two together. :D Of course, you could always fill out the form if you want more suggestions for mentors of other sections.

Im interested in ROM hacking (emulation), Im not a noob anymore cuz i already can script, even complicated ones although it takes some time. But I want to learn another part of that which i already tried without succes, its tiling.

What other sections/boards do you want to venture in and learn more about?
Hmm, if you dont mind I'll stick at emulation ^^

Are there any specific things you like to do while you're here?
Yup I want, not only rom-hacking but also make some pals or something to chat sometimes about nonsense ^^

Thats it, Circo now you got more work to do thanks to me :p

Nah, don't worry about it. I've been busy too so I also tend to reply really late, haha. But sure, maybe I'll PM you sometime, if I think of useful advice or something to recommend. I won't do that here because we might derail the thread with unrelated posts. :p

Welcome. <3 Hope I can do a good job of recommending in Cirno's place!

Now onto this post's purpose. :3 We have just a few spots left for Emulation; you can either be DrFuji's third mentee, or be mentored by Abnegation. However, I hope you know that your chosen mentor won't be able to help you with the process of hacking itself (unless the mentor personally offers to help), since the Adoption Center only covers stuff related to the forum and how you can get into your mentor's section more easily. So asking your mentor how to tile would not fall under the mentoring process, unfortunately. You could ask where the necessary tiling references are in Emulation section, though!

In any case, take your pick!

I know Cid, if i need help with my hack i wouldnt post it here, i want a mentor so i can learn that part of hacking as well ^^. Hmm, I dont know why Abnegation is yellow, but I'd like him to be my mentor if possible. Cuz he is more of the graphical part of it all and thats exactly what i need now ^^. And he only has 1 mentee at the moment and Dr.Fuji already 2. Shall i contact him? or is that a job for you to do?
Thanks for your help btw Cid.

Abnegation is yellow because he's a super moderator on the forum. :3 And I'll contact him for you now since Cid is asleep! We'll let you know what he replies with as soon as possible. =D

I'm really sorry to say this, but you'll be the last mentee for a little while. :( Cirno and I talked it out, and at the rate at which things are going, I currently believe that a break will help us fix some issues. It might be for weeks, or a few months; at this point in time, it's hard to say. But in a few paragraphs, I will be closing this thread, and it will remain closed until we fix the problems that the Adoption Center has been encountering.

Still, it wouldn't be fair to rob you of the privilege since you posted here before it was closed, so if you'd like a mentor for Trade Corner, we have Livewire, TwilightBlade and tabor62 available. Pick one of those three, tell your choice in a message to me or Cirno through VM/PM, and we'll try to get you in touch. But this will be the last, at least for a few months.

From here on out, The Official PokeCommunity Adoption Center shall be closed until further notice.


To put it simply, the New Users / Welcome moderators think that closing the thread for a few months is for the best. Some problems that have been brought to the surface are really hampering on the joint effort. Sure, this joint effort was something that every mentor has contributed upon, to a moderate, yet commendable, amount of success. <3 But the problems were still there.
  • First off, some mentees still think that the program is for helping them out with matters not covered by the Adoption Center. Asking for competitive battling help, breeding and IV help, or seeking aid on technical matters about the Pokémon games— these are just part of the problem, because mentees still tend to bring up queries solely related to their personal projects such as art, hacks, etc. rather than the forum, despite what is indicated in the first post. That's not how the mentorship works; we're here to help you get used to sections within the forum, not to act as a walking Bulbapedia / Serebii / Google / Emulation subforum. It might be an honest mistake, but it can really test the mentor's patience if you put things in perspective. It's stressful enough that you have a busy schedule and things to do, but having a mentee that mistakes the program for a way to help them with matters unrelated to the forum might just push you over the edge.
  • Another problem was that more often than not, mentees fail to stay active enough after a couple of days into the program. Not understanding how mentorship works is one thing, but taking up a mentorship slot without staying active is another. Sure, new members rarely stick around, but if you plan on getting adopted, staying active should come with it. :< Some do stick around, but they rarely ask questions, so the point becomes moot real quick. Ask questions! Be inquisitive and ready to learn, because mentors won't know which areas you need help with unless you tell them yourself. Also, I noticed that some members, to the point of inactivity, become really scared of posting around when they get taken under someone's wing. But guys, this is just a forum! Don't be afraid to make mistakes, because if you're trying your best to follow the rules and not offend anyone, then minor flubs shouldn't intimidate you from posting around. If you get corrected, like if your post gets deleted or your thread is closed, then don't take it too personally. :( People are just trying to make the experience for everyone a little more streamlined, and more importantly, these same people only tell you that "Hey, you made a mistake," to learn from it. To grow. Not to generate flames. But I digress.
  • In the end, the Adoption Center has just been really stressful to handle for everyone. Some mentees don't benefit a lot from it for reasons stated above. Mentors have expressed concern that it gets bothersome once in a while, too. And really, we'd be lying if we didn't say that it gets incredibly stressful to manage, a sentiment that Cirno has had especially, because she's been handling this thread on her own for almost half a year now. Just imagine how much stuff she had to deal with. It's something I can't even fathom.
Now, does this mean that mentees get dropped off in the middle of the PC desert, left alone to fend for themselves? Of course not. Despite all this, current mentors and their respective mentees are still encouraged to continue with the mentorship like before. It's just that no new mentees will be accepted from now on, until the Adoption Center is ready to reopen. I'm sorry if you're a new mentee or a new mentor and wasn't able to experience the program to the fullest. It's gonna be a long wait until the Adoption Center reopens, but I hope that you can still go on with your daily lives despite that.

That being said, it's time to bid farewell. ;~; If you're a new member, you should never forget that it doesn't hurt to ask for help from fellow members or staff if you ask knowingly and kindly. Help comes in many shapes and sizes, and even if the Adoption Center temporarily removes itself from those options, I know that you can still make it through those newbie stages if you try. I was here before the Adoption Center even existed, along with countless others, so I suppose we can attest to that.

I wish you luck. I know that you'll get through that. Look out into the sea.
Until the Adoption Center comes back, keep on keeping on.
