Get-Together 2025

[Shrew]

I'd like to host Mafia, at mafia.gg. To be honest, I'd prefer if someone else hosts it, but I'll host it unless anyone else steps up. I'm also open to Co-Hosts.

Would appreciate some co-hosts for Pictionary and Jackbox.

Would you consider Sketchful over Skribbl? It has some better features, including one feature that lets you save a picture of a drawing without having to rely on screenshotting quickly.

I'm open to it, but we had issues with it when we tried it last year iirc.

Just noting I've taken Archipelago out of my list of events!

If you aren't hosting an Archipelago this time, and nobody else (e.g. Devalue) has plans to host one, I'd like to host an Archipelago event of my own.

Only planned to run an Archipelago event if nobody else stepped up. Will be busy hosting Mind Read the Room and PokeCommunity Battle Factory (plus participating in others). Takes a while to process results.

 

[DragonEye]

I'll host Eevee's Arcade once again. It would be good if someone can help me with testing the games in order to avoid games that have game-breaking glitches.

I'm down to help with the game breaking bug hunt

Hello
If everyone is ok, I'll give it another go to Pokémon unite and speed art, if anyone wants to co-host, you are welcome to join

If you're looking for a co-host, I'd be willing to take a stab at it

I'm down to host Battle Bash again. I'll be considering ideas that were gathered from last year to make the event less grindy (e.g., battles won/completed earn GT points at certain thresholds and have diminishing returns).

Hey, so I have some questions all about this whole Get Together place, as I am some what interested in participating.

1. Do I need my own Nintendo Switch console in order to do most of the Events here? Cause I currently don't have a Nintendo Switch console of my own. I am planning on getting one soon, though.

2. What is the difference between the Dawnrangers and the Duskbrawlers?

3. What are these PokeDollars that are being awarded? Are they like for in your Pokemon games on the Switch? Or are they more like actual dollars, or what?

4. Where and when do we go to actually do these Events?

5. Could I volunteer to be an Event Organizer, or could I join someone in one the Events to co-host alongside with?

6. Could someone please explain each of these Events and how to do them, in great details?

7. I've been re-watching the Pokemon anime a lot lately, and I think that I'm pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the Pokemon anime, so I'm thinking that for starters I might wanna start with the Pokemon Anime Nights. If that's okay. And, not to brag, but if anyone wants to, you can feel free to quiz me on my Pokemon anime knowledge, and see how well I do on it. That's how confident I am about my Pokemon anime knowledge. But I've only watched up until the end of the XYZ anime. I haven't really seen the Sun and Moon series, or the Journeys series just yet, as I kind of fell off of the anime after the XYZ series. So if you wanna quiz me on the Pokemon anime, only give me questions about up until the end of the XYZ series.

I think that about covers all of my questions on the matter. I look forward to doing what I can to help out here.

Hello! Happy to answer your questions.

1. Some of the events might require a Switch, but the vast majority will not.

2. Dawnrangers and Duskbrawlers are the two teams for this year's GT. The main difference really is just that you'll be competing against the other team to earn the most points/complete the most work on Lumiose. The actual distribution for teams is decided by a quiz that you will be redirected to from the GT forum once it is up.

3. PokeDollars is just what we're calling points this year. They have no monetary value and are just called that to suit the theme and special mechanics of this year's GT.

4. The events are all held across the PokeCommunity forums and Discord. There are no in-person parts to it since that would drastically limit who in our community could participate, among other reasons.

5. To volunteer to be an Event Organiser, you just need to post in this thread with some info about what kind of event you'd like to host. Otherwise, you can also volunteer to help with existing event submissions if the current host has asked for help or is open to it.

6. To do that here would take up a lot of space in the thread, but a lot of them you can probably guess about from their names. Otherwise, every event will be explained in detail in their own thread once the GT starts and you're welcome to message myself or the host(s) of events you are curious about for more details.

7. If you're interested in helping with the anime nights, I'd suggest messaging the person who submitted those events and asking if they need/want help.

Hope that helps!

Good, you can be a tester.

Heyo, I'd like to host an Orre Colosseum tournament if that's okay

 

[Shrew]

In addition to hosting Mafia, I'd also like to take a stab at hosting Avalon (also known as Resistance). It's free to play and hosted on netgames.io. If anyone wants to co-host either, it's welcome.

Might be worth talking to Wolf and see if you can combine that with Battle Bash somehow?

I've done the Archipelago event in the past, but I am happy to help co-run or bounce ideas of anyone who wants to work on it with me? Doesn't sound like anyone is too keen to fully handle the torch thus far ( me neither, I think with how busy my life is right now I'd be a terrible full host) but I'd love to work with others on this if they think my input is useful. My key goals for this one would be to tie it closer to the theme of the event and attempt to find ways for more engaging point scoring mechanics. Please let me know if anyone is interested in a collaborative event hosting type deal.

Something I for sure would like to host is bringing back amiibo Casino. This time I want to make it more involved for participants, so I want to let people design their own fighter to compete against other players. Probably something like a Google form with stats and abilities and things like that. This also allows people who can't make the live sessions still have some level of involvement and point scoring.
