VPP ~ Virtual Pokemon Pet (OLD)

Getting Started

Basic Mechanics

• VPP Pokemon start out as an egg. They hatch after 15 posts are made.
• VPP Pokemon gain a level every post you make, for a grand total of 200 posts to reach level 100.
• Once a VPP Pokemon reaches level 100, it is sent to your Hall of Fame and you may raise a new VPP.

Joining
To join and receive your very own VPP, if you have at least 10 posts, just make a new post filling out the following form:

Simply fill that out in a new post in this thread and you should be all set.

Rules

• Only talk about VPP here, there are other threads for chatting. If you go off topic here (or spam anywhere on PXR), you will be punished.
• No cheating, obviously.
• Don't copy/steal the VPP for your own or another forum.
• You MUST have your Stats Thead labled so we know what Pokemon are used for what...which is a Master, what was used for Legendary or what was used for a Challenge.
• You may not calculate your own VPP numbers.
• No free VPPs based on your current post count.

Punishments for breaking the rules include temporary and permanent suspension from the VPP. Typically, a warning is given prior to punishment.

A temporary suspension from the VPP means you cannot level up, evolve or finish your VPP Pokemon until the decided number of posts is finished. You aren't allowed to post in this thread until then either. If the posts during your suspension period are deemed spam, expect the suspension to be extended.

A permanent suspension from the VPP means you're banned forever. You forfeit your VPP and are no longer allowed to participate in VPP-related threads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do I view my VPP stats in a single post?
A: Click the bold and underlined number in the top right hand corner of your post. That will link you to a page with only that post.

Q: How do I link to my VPP stats post in my signature?
A: Copy the single post URL of your stats post and paste in into your signature. Before the URL, place the following segment of code: [URL="
After the URL, place the following segment of code: "] Now you can put whatever you want to link to your post (text or an image). After you have that, add the last segment of code: [/URL]

Q: Can I use a Pokemon as a requirement more than once?
A: Yes, yes can. However, a Pokemon may not be re-used on the same set of requirements

Q: If I have a dual-type VPP, what type does it count as when counting towards requirements?
A: It counts for either type, you choose. However, a dual-type Pokemon only counts for one type in a set of requirements, not both.

Q: If my VPP is a dule-type which Gem do I buy for it to evolve?
A: You can buy either typing as long as you have one for it to evolve with.

Q: Can my VPP be shiny/special colored?
A: Yes but there are only certain ways you can get them.

Q: Can a Legendary be used to obtain another Legendary/other requirement Pokemon?
A: Yes, once completed it can be used like a regular Pokemon for requirements.

Shiny Pokemon
Shiny Pokemon use to be something you could get freely but now we added a bit of a twist. With the Rainbow Stone you can use it to up your chances by 10%. The base chance to get a shiny is 25%. The second way to get a shiny Pokemon is completing a Challange. We will roll a 100-sided dice and any number 25 or below gets you a shiny.

Special Pokemon
There are certain Pokemon that have special requirements to obtain and raise. Some of these Pokemon also have their own set of mechanics that differ from regular VPPs.

Legendary Pokemon

• Legendary VPPs hatch at level 50 and gain a level every post you make. This means it takes a total of 250 posts to complete a Legendary (15 to hatch, 235 to reach level 100).
• In order to raise a Legendary VPP, you must raise other Pokemon first. Each Legendary has a unique set of 3 type requirements that must be fulfilled in order to obtain the Legendary.
• Ultra Beasts require at least ONE Legendary Pokemon.
• You may reserve a Legendary via PMing Caite-chan once you have completed 2 of the 3 requirements. Once you have successfully completed the requirements for a Legendary, you may begin raising it.
• When you have completed a Legendary Pokemon, you must finish 10 full VPPs until you can obtain another one.

To reserve and obtain a Legendary once you meet the requirements, please PM Caite-chan with a link to your VPP Breeder Stats post.

Pairs & Sets
Some Pokemon have the option to come in pairs or sets. A pair of Pokemon take a total of 200 posts instead of 350 to do them separately. Pairs and sets all count as a single VPP for requirements and completed VPP totals.

Some pairs/sets have special requirements, listed below.

If you have already completed one VPP from a pair and you wish to complete the pair, make a post claiming so. The second VPP will level up each post and will only take 100 posts to complete (5 to hatch at level 5, 95 to reach level 100).

Master Pokemon
Once you have completed 10 full VPPs (not including Baby Pokemon), you reach VPP Master Status. When you reach this status, you may choose one of any Pokemon (other than a Legendary or a Pair/Set) to add to your completed collection without any post requirement. These Master Pokemon may count towards the 10 VPPs between Legendary Pokemon. For every 10 full VPPs you complete, you may obtain another Master Pokemon.

Unown
Unown are special and require only 100 posts to complete. To raise one, you must have first raised one other VPP. Unown may be used towards requirements, but only 1 Unown may be used in each set. Only 1 Unown counts towards the 10 VPPs you must complete before raising another Legendary and towards Master Status.
