We've hit our seventh year! Lucky seven get!

Welcome, one and all, to PokéCommunity's twelth Great Egg Swap!

How Does it Work?​

1. Breed ONE 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 your name and friendcode. It will appear in the scoreboard and you will be assigned a number. You cannot begin swapping until you've got a number.

3. Get swapping! Swap your egg with someone using the standard trade system, then swap that egg with someone else. Keep swapping with as many people as you can.

4. Report it. Once you have completed your swap, post here using the report form detailing who you swapped with.
1 swap = 1 point each.​

The swap is open to all Generation VII games!

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

​

A Few Rules...​

1. Breed ONE egg for this event. Once you have traded that egg, you cannot breed another.

2. Do not switch the egg you receive with any other eggs you happen to have in your game.

3. You may only use one game for the event.

4. DO NOT LET THE EGG HATCH. Trade directly from a box to prevent this from happening.

5. Your swap points will only be counted when both users post to report the swap. If you're unsure on how it works, have a look through last time's thread.

6. Once you have swapped, you may not swap with the same person again until you have both swapped with another person. Try to swap with a variety of people.
7. Avoid trading in circles - it's just the same eggs going around and around. Try waiting for others to come online.

8. Do not deliberately exploit the system to boost your score - (through excluding players, trading pacts, etc.). Anyone caught doing this will be disqualified. If you suspect any player of being in a trading pact or are somehow cheating the system, you can PM the hosts anonymously.

9. NO HACKED EGGS. Do not create an egg that is not legitimately obtainable in the games (e.g. a Mew egg). Anyone caught doing so will be disqualified and referred to a moderator.

10. Do not deliberately refuse to trade with another player because they are on a different team to you. We're here to have fun, guys!​

Ok thanks. Sorry for the lack of progress, it?s been very busy over the last few weeks. I?ll try and finish up the graphics today. Since GT is running for 10 days and Egg Swap usually peaked at about 4 days max, I?m thinking we post the thread sometime this week for sign up and have the swap over next weekend when everyone is free.

Cool. If there's anything to go by, is it possible for me to have editing rights to the same topic, so I can add in participants if you're not around?

We have an alt account for that - I still need to send you a primer.

Just bumping this for an update. All graphics have been completed and Hero has been sent a primer. We're thinking of posting this Tuesday/Wednesday for early sign-ups, then hold the swap over next weekend.
