​

These teams are assigned by Porygon at random - in order to find out your team, join the PokéCommunity Discord Server by clicking here and type !assignteam in #launch. You'll then gain access to your specific team's channel, as well as the other event channels.

Scheduled Events
In addition to the below schedule, we will also be hosting an Animal Crossing New Horizons design event, Video Game Trivia, as well as Battle of the Bands Mafia (!!). For more information, see below.

Please note - scheduled times are Eastern Standard Time/GMT-5, and are subject to change. Here's a timezone conversion tool. We will ping both team roles around 10 minutes before each event starts.

ACNH Design Challenge
For this challenge, you have all weekend to put together a themed room featuring the color of your team - blue for Team Brilliant Diamonds & pink for Team Shining Pearls. You can do this in a room of your house, or in one of the rooms on Harvey's island.

The entire room doesn't have to be blue or pink, there just needs to be a piece of furniture with your team's color. Send your entries to professor plum (professor plum#6969) via DM by Sunday, 6:00 PM. The winning room will win 5 points for their team.

Video Game Trivia
A new set of questions will be posted on each day of the event in this thread. Work with your team mates to answer the questions and send them to Aaron (Arcaneum#0823) via Direct Message. The winning team for each day will earn 3 points.

Video Game Trivia Day One
Hello and welcome to Video Game Trivia! I will be your host for the next few days - Professor Pearmond! Work with your team mates to answer the questions which will appear in this thread each day, sending them to Aaron (Arcaneum#0823) via Direct Message on Discord, or as a DM on here.

Each set will expire at around this time, so you have 24 hours to get those answers in! I will accept as many answers and will give the points to the team which gets the most correct answers between all of them. I would advise heavily in joining the PokéCommunity Discord server and joining a team as it makes it easier for me to assign points to the winners.

Here is your first set for today: Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum!

- What major gameplay mechanic did Pokémon Diamond and Pearl introduce, changing the competitive scene massively?
- Which move introduced in Gen 4 was named by the Pokémon fanbase?
- Which game has sold the most copies: Diamond or Pearl?
- How many Pokémon make up the Sinnoh Dex in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl?
- What aspect of Pokémon does Professor Rowan study?
- When excavating in the Sinnoh Underground, how many different Spheres can you find?
- Where are Team Galactic's headquarters?
- Which Pokémon appears as a static encounter in Valley Windworks on a Friday?
- Gen 4's Pokémon lab is based in your hometown. True or False?
- Name the missing member of Cynthia's team in Platinum: Milotic, Garchomp, Lucario, Spirtomb, Roserade, _____?

Video Game Trivia Day Two
Welcome to day two of our Video Game Trivia! Today's theme is a Video Game Music Quiz, with a Rabinov-flavoured twist! You will need to identify the game each song comes from and there will be a bonus requirement, which if your team gets at least 7 correct will net your team an extra point and if you get all 15 correct, will get you an extra 2 points! In the instance this game is a standalone, I will be giving you its genre only (for example, for YookaLaylee I would only give you the genre 'Platformer' as its identifier, along with its optional question).

Work with your team mates to answer the questions which will appear in this thread each day, sending them to Aaron (Arcaneum#0823) via Direct Message on Discord, or as a DM on here.

Each set will expire at around this time, so you have 24 hours to get those answers in! I will accept as many answers and will give the points to the team which gets the most correct answers between all of them. I would advise heavily in joining the PokéCommunity Discord server and joining a team as it makes it easier for me to assign points to the winners.
