Event: VPP Trick-or-Treat 2023 (Complete)

[Devalue]

Continues your world tour of trick-or-treating at Dendemille Town in Kalos. Crunches the fallen leaves with every step. Barely missed stepping on a ranger laying in wait for someone to pass by. Only seems fair to scare them too, given they were trying to do the same.

Participated in a great battle against Lickilicky. [Link].

Your trick today: Transforms to Eelektrik. Walked around with Pawmo a lot. Wondered if it would evolve. Glimpses back at Pawmo. Realizes its feet are dragging behind it. Floated along all this way without gaining steps. Could only do that...if it had dressed up as Pawmo. Discovers the odd truth soon enough.

The Great Pokemon Battle: [Link]

Your treat today: Turns Galarian Zigzagoon shiny. Checks on your Pokemon companion. Already started gulping down some of the spoils. Included a Pinkan Berry treat from yesterday, by the looks of it.

5) The Great Pokemon Battle 13

Your trick today: Transforms into (standard) Zigzagoon. Held your Teddiursa's paw on the way to the house. Never let go. Suddenly found a Zigzagoon on the other end, however. Mistook it for Megan's Pokemon, at first. What is going on here?

Changes the random system tomorrow.

Heads into Olivine City in Johto on your next stop. Visits the home of a battle fanatic. Listens briefly to their spiel about how wonderful the nearby Battle Tower is. Cuts it short so you can get on with trick-or-treating.

Agreed on a thing. [Link].

Your prize today: 25 points. Hands you a Point Card with a few points on it. Included that with the candy, apparently.

Agree or Disagree: [Link]

Your prize today: 25 points. Takes stock of the current load of candy. Looks like room for more. Picks out a card in there. Redeems it for a few points at the Battle Tower.

6) Agree or Disagree (2.0).

Your prize today: 25 points. Grabs a candy wrapper off the floor from your Pokemon. Admonishes them for throwing the trash on the ground. Spots some writing on the trash. Appears to be connected to the Battle Power. Entitles you to a few points there.

7) The Pokemon Race Version 6.1

Kinda didn't want to post in that anymore, but oh well.

 

[Devalue]

Circles back to Goldenrod City. Graces the doorstop of a Pokeathelon enthusiast. Kept up a flag for a famous Dodrio Hurdle Dasher and a local Hitmonlee Lamp Jumper. Gives away raisins instead of actual candy, citing something about health.

(Came close to lining up with Pumpkaboo/Gourgeist. Would have delayed this game until later, if it was a possibility.)

Your trick today: Transforms into Poliwag. Turns around to leave. Notices your Eelektrik not following. Gazes intently at the Dodrio flag. Really seems to want to try Hurdle Dashing, even moreso than continuing to trick-or-treat.

Calls the Nurse Joy on duty. Okays the Eelektrik's participation in the Pokeathlon. Questions how much will even take place at night, but whatever. Takes over for someone watching a Poliwag.

The Pokemon Race: [Link]

Your prize today: 25 points. Said something about a few special surprises along with the raisins. Checks the box for anything odd. (Passed the box straight to you.) Finds a Pokeathlon point card taped to it.

7) The Pokemon Race Version 6.1

Kinda didn't want to post in that anymore, but oh well.

Your trick today: Transforms into Igglybuff. Offhandedly mentions how buff the Hitmonlee looks. Hears the word "buff" repeated back at you. Inspects your Zigzagoon closer. Was not a Teddiursa or a Zigzagoon. Turned out to be an Igglybuff...maybe.

(Also, do not feel obligated to post in a thread, if you do not want to. Offers no bonuses for perfect attendance.)

8) Safari Zones

 

[Devalue]

Sails from Johto into Kanto. Passes through some of Vermilion City and Saffron City before going into Celadon City. Avoids the large, commercial displays and walks towards the houses instead. Meets a lot of people really into "gaming" there.

Started a thread on the Safari Zones. [Link].

Your treat today: one Gigantamax Candy. Spins a candy roulette. Lands on a full-sized coconut candy bar. Disappoints your Poliwag, but not you.

Safari Zone: [Link]

Your treat today: a Deoxys Meteorite (red). Encounters some very generous people who likely struck it rich, and some...not. Identifies one particular person, who dropped a rock in your Galarian Zigzagoon's candy bag, as the latter. Glares disapprovingly at the rude person. Begins to toss the rock by the wayside. Stops. Glows a faint red color. How peculiar.

8) Shiny living dex. Would you ever consider it?

8) Safari Zones

Your trick today: Transforms into Altaria. Wore out your Igglybuff from all this travelling. Watches it slowly add a Rare Candy to its candy bucket. Sends it back home with one of the other volunteers.

Planned to grab some cotton candy from one of those big stalls before heading back yourself. Seems like an odd confection for Halloween, but not against the spirit of it. Realizes it was not a candy candy stall, however, but an Altaria.

Hums a greeting to you. Flaps up and nudges you back towards the houses. Appears to want to go trick-or-treating with the others.

9) Train Store and Release - remastered

 

[Devalue]

Leaves the big city behind for the more pastoral landscape of Turffield. Dodges a few rolling Wooloos en route to the houses. Notes an unusual addition to the Wooloos. Attached Milceries in a jar to the Wooloos. Harnasses all that energy spent of rolling towards making Alcremies. Must be big on that here to go through that work.

Passed judgment on some Grass starters. [Link].

Your trick today: Transforms into Wormadam (Plant Cloak). Drops off Poliwag at the nearby Pokemon Center early. Had its fill after just Celadon City and a little bit of Galar. Turns around to see a Wooloo roll into a pile of leaves. Avoids the unusually large explosion of leaves from the Wooloo crashing into it. Spots the reason why: a Wormadam. Comes up to you with a bundle of leaves shaped like a bag. Seems to want to go trick-or-treating with you.

Your treat today: one Strawberry Alcremie Sweet. Knocks on the door of a chef. Prepared tons of Alcremie sweets for the Pokemon this Halloween. Does not seem to popular with your Galarian Zigzagoon, though. Intended these treats for Fairy Pokemon. Might be the reason. Passes their Alcremie sweet off to you, at any rate.

Cyndaquil @ 7203
Level 100 @ 7403
Shiny: No
Points: 0

Your treat today: a Star Alcremie Sweet. Started hitting the final stretch of trick-or-treating. Occasionally meets people eager to give away extra candy. Occurs at a chef making lots of Alcremie sweets. Hands one to your Cyndaquil, who gobbles it up immediately. Also gives one directly to you.

9) Train Store and Release - remastered

Your treat today: a Clover Alcremie Sweet. Overwhelmed your Altaria with the amount of candy collected from just Turffield. Alternates between eating candy and giving it to you. Gobbles down one Rare Candy (to no effect). Indicates one clover-shaped candy to be yours to a tap of its wing.
