    Sweet Time in PokéLand!
    The Trivia Frontier

    [PokeCommunity.com] Sweet Time in PokéLand ~ The Trivia Frontier! ☆

    Welcome to PokéLand's Trivia Frontier!

    This is an event where you collect Frontier Symbols by posting in various games around the Pokémon Trivia section. The main goal of this event is to simply kick back and have fun playing all sorts of different games! By all means, go ahead and joke around alongside your fellow members and make silly posts to your heart's content!

    This event will run from Monday, October 12th, 2020 to Tuesday, November 17th, 2020.

    NOTE: The ending date of this event has been extended. Please see this post for more details.



    Overview​

    Event Breakdown:


    • Every week, there will be a new theme based on sweets from the Pokémon universe, and each theme will correspond to a set of specific PokéTrivia games.

    • The five themes (which will be denoted by thread prefix tags) are: "Casteliacone" week, "Lava Cookie" week, "Malasada" week, "Gummi" week, and "Rare Candy" week.

    • By making enough posts in the games that correspond to each theme, you will earn the Frontier Symbol for that theme. (See the [alink id="Frontier_Symbols"]list of Frontier Symbols[/alink id] for more details.)

    • At the end of this event, you can receive prizes based on the Frontier Symbols you've collected!

    Things to Know:


    • Games tagged with "Sweetness Overload" can be used as a wildcard to earn Frontier Symbols from any week's theme.

    • Previous weekly themes will remain open even after the newer themes start, so that way everyone has a fair chance of keeping up, regardless of when they join the event!

    • All PokéCommunity global rules and Pokémon Trivia section rules apply.

    Virtual Pokémon Pet:

    While this isn't a requirement, you are encouraged to check out PokéCommunity's new "Virtual Pokémon Pet" section and sign up for a VPP if you haven't already! Cool VPP-based prizes will be offered to those who participate in Virtual Pokémon Pet. For any questions pertaining to VPP, feel free to ask away in the VPP DCC thread!

    Frontier Symbols​

    Below are the Frontier Symbols you can earn from each week's theme! Frontier Symbols will come in two variants—Silver Symbols and Gold Symbols.

    Making 10 posts total across a theme's games will earn you a Silver Symbol, and if you manage to reach 25 posts in that same theme, your Silver Symbol will be upgraded to a Gold Symbol.


    1. Casteliacone Symbol

    Prizes​

    You can earn some neat prizes based on your achievements in this event! The main prize is the following PokéCommunity badge:

    Sweets Connoisseur
    This user certainly has a sweet tooth, as demonstrated by their achievements in a PokéTrivia event!

    This badge comes in three tiers: bronze, silver, and gold. The criteria for each tier are as follows:


    • If you earn a minimum of one Frontier Symbol (but not all five), you will receive the bronze tier badge.

    • If you earn all five of the Frontier Symbols (but not all of them are Gold Symbols), you will receive the silver tier badge.

    • If you earn all five of the Frontier Symbols (and all five are Gold Symbols), you will receive the gold tier badge.

    VPP-Based Rewards:

    For those who are taking part in Virtual Pokémon Pet, additional prizes will be offered. Open the spoiler tag below for more details:

    Spoiler: VPP Prizes

    • If you meet the criteria of the bronze tier badge, you will be eligible to claim Sandshrew as a VPP reward.

    • If you meet the criteria of the silver tier badge, you will be eligible to claim one of the following Pokémon as a VPP reward: Sandshrew, Vanilluxe, Alcremie, Slurpuff, Flapple, Appletun, or Tsareena.

    • If you meet the criteria of the gold tier badge, you will be eligible to claim one of the Pokémon listed above as your VPP reward, and your VPP is guaranteed to be shiny (if you wish).

    (The tiers do not stack, so you will receive only one VPP as a prize.)

    In addition to the above, you will can also claim VPP points for every Frontier Symbol you've earned. Silver Symbols are worth 50 VPP points each, and Gold Symbols are worth 100 VPP points each.

    The highest number of VPP points you can earn is 500 in total, assuming you've collected all five Gold Symbols.

    All VPP claims should be made in the "Obtain Your Pokémon" thread in the Virtual Pokémon Pet section after this event ends.

    Ooooh, awesome to have you both on board!! I'll get you added to the Hall of Sweets right away. :D

    I appreciate that you're saving links to your posts (and you can keep doing so if you'd like!), but you really don't have to worry about that if it's inconvenient for you! I can just filter each thread to see only your posts, which should make it easy for me to count whenever you let me know that you've earned a new Frontier Symbol! I wouldn't want to make this event less fun for any of you by making you go through the tedious process of linking every post, unless you somehow don't find it tedious, haha.

    Come to think of it, would simply jotting down a number and periodically updating that number be easier for you? It's entirely up to you, of course—whichever way you find easiest to keep track of is fine by me! ^-^

    Whatever you think would be easier. Because I did think about that too.

    I think I'll just leave it up to each participant's personal preference, then!

    So you can go ahead and keep count in any way you'd like, and just remember that I can always count for you or anyone else whenever needed. :D

    Might just have to be lazy this time and let you do it because I know a lot of mine will be me trying to sneak posts in while I'm at work. Shhhhh tell no one...lol. Unless its my days off.

    Will do!! :D I've filtered through all the threads so far and it looks like you have a total of 3 posts as of writing this! Does that sound about right to you? Just wanted to make sure I'm actually counting correctly, ahaha.

    Also, I'm technically sneaking posts right now too, so your secret is safe with me! 😇
