ZZ's Resolutions

[Caramell 🍬]

What are your resolutions or goals for this year on ZapdosZulu? ^^ I thought this could be fun! Be it a new character, finding and/or capturing a specific Pokemon, or reaching a specific location. What goal(s) do you hope to accomplish?

Mine are pretty simple.
1) Get Mishu to Goldenrod by December. Get her to defeat Whitney, if possible.
2) Have Zaiden defeat Bugsy and capture all Pokemon found on Routes 29-32 by end of year. (We'll have to see if that works).
✓) Be able to have Caribes created officially for play by May, or at least by July.

[Marchbaby]

I have a few I am hoping to complete.

1. Reach the next recruitment milestone as I have been stuck at the current one for ages.
2. Evolve Glitch Bird into a Porygon Z.
3. Beat Whitney with both Tyler and Kevin.
4. Reach Cainwood with Marchbaby.
5. Evolve Blubber into a Sliggo.
6. Evolve Shellshocker into Blastoise.
7. Evolve Alpha into a Metagross.
8. Evolve Samantha into Delphox.

[CrystalFox]

My goals for the new year.

1. Get 3 (4?) new members of Charlie's dream team. (Budew, Ralts, Piplup, Castform?)
2. Get Charlie to Violet and hopefully beat Falkner.
3. Get my Second Character out into the world.
4. If I'm quick/efficient enough, who knows. Maybe I'll make it to Azalea with Charlie and give Bugsy a go.
5. 3rd Character in a year? Definitely not.

[antonius]

1) Get Selenia finally approved\available. This should hopefully be done by end of January depending on my Falkner battle.
2) Anton to be a part of IPF by finishing the required test\quest.
3) Fire Tail to Charizard by end of the year.
4) 1k posts by end of March.
5) Gold\Ethan maybe by my birthday (Oct 28)
6) Future cyndaquil to quilava
7) Mudkip (Muddy) and\or Squirtle (Nickname?) to next evolution for Selenia. Yes, I will be trying to level both at same time to my determent.
8) Flamer (soon to be torchic for Anton) to combusken
9) A level 20 electric type for Anton

10) A level 20 flying type for Selenia? I am not completely sold on her "minor" in flying types but leaning strongly into it.

11) Have one of each gem type. I know, it sounds odd but chalk it to inventor's curiosity. I have a trade option in my shop and will try to keep it updated.

Mod Goal

1) Get contests officially up and running with some help *cough* Marchbaby *cough*

[Tarlar]

I am not good with deadlines so anything noted down is not something I try get to happen within the next year, but just something which would be nice if it happens/closest goals.

1. Get Astrid to Ecruteak and get the Surf and Strength HMs (which requires beating Morty and doing both Kimono Dance Theater and Legendary Trio quests), and evolve her horsea to kingdra (but that will be the easy part), so that I can trade it to Lance for his dratini. If I manage that I'm going to be really happy
2. Lei to win the Hive Badge, which is not a straight forward route (since I need a team of bug types).
3. Getting through one of the champers in Ruins of Alph with Lei and getting one step closer to the fossil there, would be nice. (and a great way to train the bugs).
4. I also really want to get Tarok (Mudbray) to learn High horsepower, but that is unlikely its going to happen this soon.
5. Keep my Grade A daycare going and breed some fun pokemon XD
6. Make some enjoyable mod posts.

[Caramell 🍬]

Well, it won't be by May. So now we're aiming for July on Resolution #3! Which means Mishu gotta get cracking on that last badge!

[Marchbaby]

As of today I can officially cross off #4. With March capturing Tentacruel he now has access to Cainwood and permanent access to the Safari Zone. My other goals are still a long way off but it is wonderful finally having a character reach Cainwood. The new pool of Pokemon March can capture there will really help with coming up with new offerings for any future recruits I get. Speaking of which I need to find the time to place more ads.

Update! I didn't get Caribes by May - which was super ambitious given all my other goals I had. But I did have them join in July so one New Year's Resolution that was successfully completed! <3

Zaiden has already moved on from Route 29 and is currently working on Cherrygrove/Route 30! I'm not so sure we'll be able to keep every bit of that one as planned, but we'll see!

4) is off the list and been off but forgot to mark when it happen.

Alright, new year so time to look back at this and update it. Still not something I really work hard to achieve within a year since that will just stress me.

1. Astrid is in Ecruteak and almost ready to challenge Morty. There should be a chance managing this before the end of the year and getting the trade done.
2. Lei's bug badge? Doesn't feel like I'm any closer, but that is probably mostly due to spending time on the event and that I'm trying to train most/all her bug pokemon to level 20 or so. Takes Time. Hopefully I reach it this year, Aglaia has been hired to help with the training now. Since I have a lot of bugs and things can happen, I think my goal will be to be ready to challenge Bugsy this year ^^
3. Not visited the champers yet, the Islands snatched a lot of my time ^^ And priorities changed as I went for Sprout Tower instead, and have been thinking about taking the Dangerous Blooms as well, to try get Lei starting using z moves, would be natural for her now she's from Alola. I still plan on going through one of the champers this year. I want that Hidden Power as well.
4. Not gotten anywhere with Tarok, but didn't expect that either. Changing to wanting to breed some nidorans Poison Tail and Poison Fang, so I need my Seviper leveled up ^^. Also want a Mightyena for Fang Moves and a Noctowl for Sky Attack
5. success! Continuing to trying to keep the grade going and having fun breeding egg moves down.
6. I hope I have made some enjoyable posts, I think I have, even though I have had down times in periods as well.
