Getting StartedWelcome to the VPP, a time-honored activity of the old PE2K where you raise a virtual Pokemon while you post on the forum.
Created by: The Elite Ygseto & Omis
Basic Mechanics
- VPP Pokemon start out as an egg. They hatch after 15 posts are made.
- VPP Pokemon will take a grand total of 175 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.
- Make a post here in the VPP Breeder Stats thread to keep track of your Pokemon, Items and Points.
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:
Name:
Pokemon:
Post Count:
Northern or Southern Hemisphere:
Pokemon:
Post Count:
Northern or Southern Hemisphere:
Simply fill that out in a new post in this thread and you should be all set.
Rules
- No cheating, obviously.
- Don't copy/steal the VPP for your own or another forum.
- You may not calculate your own VPP numbers.
- No free VPPs based on your current post count.
First Steps
After you have made a post in this thread with the completed form, please wait for me to calculate your post count.
After you have been accepted, you are recommended to make a post in the VPP Breeder Stats thread to track your progress and record your completed VPPs. It's recommended to place a link to your stats post in your signature. In addition, you may choose to display your current VPP in your signature.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in this thread! (Though check out the next section first! )
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="URL Code here"]Title Here[/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: What if I don't want my Pokemon to evolve?
A: That's alright; you just need to state that you don't want it to evolve, otherwise when I figure out your numbers it will be counted as fully evolved. This is because some Pokemon will change types when they evolve.
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 as a regular Pokemon for requirements.
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.
Shiny Pokemon
Shiny Pokemon used to be something you could get freely but recently 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 Challenge. We will roll a 100-sided dice and any number 25 or below gets you a shiny.
Master Pokemon
Once you have completed 10 full VPPs 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.
Birthday Pokemon
Happy Birthday! You know it comes once a year. So how about once a year you get to claim a Pokemon as a birthday gift for getting another year older. It will work like the Master Pokemon where you can claim ONE Non-Legendary Pokemon to add to your collection. You will also get 100 points as well. So 1 Pokemon and 100 points for your birthday....woooooo. Just let me know when your birthday is and you'll get your gifts. Just so you know though, you will have the week of your birthday to claim your gifts; after that, you'll have to wait until next year.
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.
Mega Pokemon
These are a little bit tougher because you will need to buy a Mega Ring and then the Mega Stone for whatever Pokemon you'd like. They will take 200 posts to complete. These are considered to be a different Pokemon so you will have to raise it like any other Pokemon. You can't use them on Pokemon you already have.
Shiny Pokemon used to be something you could get freely but recently 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 Challenge. We will roll a 100-sided dice and any number 25 or below gets you a shiny.
Master Pokemon
Once you have completed 10 full VPPs 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.

Only 1 Unown counts towards the 10 VPPs you must complete before raising another Legendary and towards Master Status.

These are considered to be a different Pokemon so you will have to raise it like any other Pokemon. You can't use them on Pokemon you already have.
Legendary Pokemon
- Legendary VPPs hatch at level 50 and gain a level every 5 posts. 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 claim a Legendary via PMing Caite-chan once you have completed 2 of the 3 requirements. You may only claim a Legendary if it will be your next VPP (THAT MEANS WORKING ON YOUR FINAL REQUIREMENT OR LAST OF 10 POKEMON BEFORE TAKING YOUR NEXT LEGENDARY). 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.
Spoiler:
To 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 takes 3 posts to level up, for a total of 300 posts instead of 400 to do them separately. Pairs and sets all count as a single VPP for requirements and completed VPP totals.
Solrock & Lunatone, Illumise & Volbeat, Gorebyss & Huntail, Ninjask & Shedinja, Slowbro & Slowking, Poliwrath & Politoed, Vileplume & Bellossom, Beautifly & Dustox, Plusle & Minun, Butterfree & Beedrill, Wormadam & Mothim, West Gastrodon & East Gastrodon, Magikarp & Feebas, Solosis & Gothita, Spritzee & Swirlix, Clauncher & Skrelp, Inkay & Binacle, Tyrunt & Amaura, Pumpkaboo & Phantump

If you have already completed one VPP from a pair and 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).
Challenges
Always nice to have a challenge, right? You can do one or you can do all. And more will be added as time goes on.
- You can use your VPPs towards both challenges and Legendary Pokemon but only ONCE. Example: If you use Carnivine for the Team Rocket James challenge you can NOT use it for any other challenge.
- To complete a challenge you need to raise 6 Pokemon. Some challenges may have more but you only need to raise 6 Pokemon.
- Fully evolved Pokemon will count. Example: You have an Arcanine but James only had a Growlithe. Arcanine still counts because you in theory raised a Growlithe.
- Complete a challenge will earn you ONE free Non-Legendary/Ultra Beast Pokemon.
Spoiler:
Seasonal Pokemon
Here you can raise Pokemon for only 150 posts. The catch is it depends on what season it is. Dual Pokemon do NOT count for double; it's one or the other. Two seasons will go at once. For example Summer for the Northern hemisphere and Winter for the Southern hemisphere. Also, Legendaries do NOT count for this.
Summer: (June, July, August --- December, January, February)
Fire, Ground, Electric, Poison, Steel
Fall/Autumn: (September, October, November --- March, April, May)
Dark, Rock, Dragon, Ghost
Winter: (December, January, February --- June, July, August)
Ice, Fairy, Water, Psychic, Normal
Spring: (March, April, May --- September, October, November)
Grass, Bug, Flying, Fighting
Fire, Ground, Electric, Poison, Steel
Fall/Autumn: (September, October, November --- March, April, May)
