[Start Hatching!] The Great Egg Swap XIII: Detective Pikachu Edition
 


Hosted by Kip and HeroLinik
Detective Pikachu sprite by @THAK0


Guys, we're eight years old. Does this mean we're old enough to play Pokémon now?

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


1. Breed ONE 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 your name and friendcode. It will appear in the scoreboard and you will be assigned a number. You cannot begin swapping until you've got a number.

3. Get swapping! Swap your egg with someone using the standard trade system, then swap that egg with someone else. Keep swapping with as many people as you can.

4. Report it. Once you have completed your swap, post here using the report form detailing who you swapped with.
1 swap = 1 point each.

The swap is open to all Generation VII games!

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



1. Breed ONE egg for this event. Once you have traded that egg, you cannot breed another.

2. Do not switch the egg you receive with any other eggs you happen to have in your game.

3. You may only use one game for the event.

4. DO NOT LET THE EGG HATCH. Trade directly from a box to prevent this from happening.

5. Your swap points will only be counted when both users post to report the swap. If you're unsure on how it works, have a look through last time's thread.

6. Once you have swapped, you may not swap with the same person again until you have both swapped with another person. Try to swap with a variety of people.

7. Avoid trading in circles - it's just the same eggs going around and around. Try waiting for others to come online.

8. Do not deliberately exploit the system to boost your score - (through excluding players, trading pacts, etc.). Anyone caught doing this will be disqualified. If you suspect any player of being in a trading pact or are somehow cheating the system, you can PM the hosts anonymously.

9. NO HACKED EGGS. Do not create an egg that is not legitimately obtainable in the games (e.g. a Mew egg). Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified and referred to a moderator.

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

Remember:

Registrations only opened up earlier today but we're already getting people pouring in! Let's send out a big welcome to everyone who's hopped on board. Things are already starting to heat up a bit, as among the arrivals is the site owner, Sheep, along with former champion Syntthetix! Who knows what they've got in store for us?!

The event will begin sometime next weekend. If you haven't done so, breed your eggs ready! I have an egg ready and waiting to be swapped!

Registration Period
Accepting registrations only. Do not start swapping.

Now we've got an even smattering of Pikachu/Eevee participants, as prior it was pretty weighted towards Pikachu! Now that we've reached the 10 participants mark, I'd like to give a warm welcome to whoever's being onboarded right now. Please welcome former champion Chr. Draco, as well as Treecko and 90210, to the swap! Things are already starting to get interesting!

Please do remember that the Great Egg Swap XIII will begin in TWO DAYS from now!

August 9th, at 20:00 UTC

If you still haven't gotten eggs ready, please do so as soon as possible! Also, don't forget to add the FCs of everyone participating so you can spend more time swapping! Not a lot of time in wait!

Registration Period
Accepting registrations only. Do not start swapping.

Kip August 9th, 2019 3:18 AM

Just a reminder that The Great Egg Swap starts in just over 8 hours from now!

Be sure to get your eggs ready!

Registration Period
Accepting registrations only. Do not start swapping.

HeroLinik August 9th, 2019 12:05 PM

The time is now! We've already accepted enough participants and now we're already getting pretty sick of waiting - we all want our points! And with that, it is my duty to say...

https://i.imgur.com/jgrAW9K.png

You now have until Monday 12th August at 23:59 UTC to swap as many eggs as you can.

Good luck, and happy swapping!

Remember to read the rules carefully before you play.
Breed and trade only one egg. Don't substitute the egg you receive for another.

We got a rather even footing to start us off with right now. Quite a few swaps have gone in, but already starting to edge out into the lead is Cid! However, things are still prone to change. Be the change you always wanted to be. Get in those swaps and those points to uncover more clues to the mystery!

Remember to read the rules carefully before you play.
Breed and trade only one egg. Don't substitute the egg you receive for another.
