The Great Egg Swap [NYE THREAD]

It's a new year! And what better way to celebrate it with a new Pokémon?
Welcome, one and all, to PokéCommunity's first Great Egg Swap!​

1. Breed an 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 you name and friendcode. It will appear in the participant list and you will be assigned a number.

3. Get swapping! Swap your egg with someone using the standard Wi-Fi trading system, then swap that egg with someone else. Keep swapping with as many people as you can and earn points. The person with the most swaps at the end of the event wins a shiny new emblem (and second and third too, but only not as shiny). We would prefer if you asked another person to swap via. VM or PM (their names will link you to their profile).

4. Report it. Once you have completed your swap, post here using the report form below detailing who you swapped with. You need to do this to claim your points. 1 swap = 1 point for each participant.

You can start swapping as soon as you've been allocated a Participant Number, and will end on the 1st January, when you can hatch your egg on New Year's Day and still have time to tell everyone what you got! 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 the more swaps you can do!

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

1. You may only breed one egg yourself. Once you have traded that egg, you cannot breed another.

2. You may only use one game to swap. You cannot swap eggs using multiple games.

3. The swap is open the Generation IV games only (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver). No Generation V games (Black and White) are allowed.

4. Your swap points will only be counted when both users post to report the swap. Kip has final say on who has what points.

5. Once you have swapped, you may not swap with the same participant again until you have both swapped with another participant. Try to avoid swapping with the same person - instead swap with as many different people as possible.

6. DO NOT LET THE EGG HATCH. This is essential. If you have to put it in a PC Box in order to prevent it from hatching then do so. Just make sure you can find it again.

7. NO HACKED EGGS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. You may not use cheat codes or any form of modding software to create an egg that is not legitimately obtainable in the games (e.g. a Mew egg). Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified from this event and referred to a moderator.

Every point has been counted and verified and it has been a very close run. No-one could've have predicted it. The fight for the first three places was a tough one, and there are just 2 points in it for all of them. Here we go...


1st Place
Air Pichu
With a staggering 96 Swaps!


2nd Place
solarowl
Just nipped in there with an impressive 94.


3rd Place
Magmaruby and Aquasapphire
So close with an equally impressive 92.

Congratulations to all of our winners, you will receive your well-deserved emblem!

And for everyone who participated (as well as the winners), you will receive the Participation emblem! May I offer my most sincere thank you for making the first ever Great Egg Swap one to remember. Let's hope there are more to come in the future!
