Easter Event 2010

EASTER EVENT 2010

Our first Easter Event is here! To celebrate this holiday, we have organised two activities for members to particiapte in.


Easter Egg Hunt
As the title suggests, I have hidden Pokemon eggs all around the forum and I've hidden them well. Just so that this doesn't turn into a game of find the needle in the haystack, I will provide a few tips as to where they are located.

Firstly, they only appear in threads that I have created. Therefore you won't need to sift through tonnes of advertisements in our "Ad and Affilies" section.

Secondly, they generally appear in the first post of a thread that I have created. This is except for one thread where the egg can be found in the second post.

Thirdly, there are a total of 18 eggs hidden. They will have a certain reference code, the first number indicating which egg it is, followed by a 3 digit unique identity code. Simply find as many eggs before the timer runs out and PM with all the codes. You will receive a different coloured-egg depending on how many you found. This coloured egg with go straight to your party/PC and after a certain number of posts, it will hatch into a unique Easter-themed Pokemon!

Finally, search everywhere for them, even in unlikely threads. The more eggs you find, the higher your chances of getting a rarer Pokemon. Remember that this activity will end on Tuesday so you have a limited amount of time to find all the eggs. Even if you haven't found all the eggs, you must send a PM to me before the deadline in order to recieve a reward. See the timer below for an exact countdown.

Timer
Also, did I mention the first person to correctly send me the codes for all 18 eggs receives an egg with a shiny Pokemon inside?

Leaderboard(for those who found all 18):
1. 5h 44m: Nada
2. 6h 29m: Lasarina
3. 6h 58m: revolvingscott
4. 8h 39m: Joey
5. 9h 44m: Tama



Egg Painting
This activity involves re-colouring or modifying the basic egg sprite given here:
or if you prefer:
You can colour it or design it any way you wish. Perhaps you could make an egg with flower-patterns on it. Even if you just do a rough job and paint it entirely black, you are still eligible to receive a special Pokemon. This Pokemon is the center-piece of this year's event and is only obtainable during this period. I proudly present to you the "Easter Exeggcute", created by our very own camtoniac!:

Exeggcute
Name: [choose]
Gender: [choose]
Level: 5
Attacks: Uproar, Barrage, Hypnosis.
Nature/Personality: [choose]
Other: ZapdosZulu Promotional Pokémon; Easter 2010

The 3 best designs earn an even more special prize. The members who create them will receive the animated Exeggcute with the move Synthesis!

Thanks again to camtoniac for creating these sprites. This year's event could not have gone ahead without her. She was even good enough to create the Easter Exeggutor so the promo Pokemon can be evolved!

Note that you may create as many custom egg sprites as you like and enter them all in this mini-contest and we'll post them all up here to display the talent that we have at our site. Also, the deadline for this is April 15, so you have plenty of time after the egg hunt to work on this. Post your entries below.


Egg Incubator:

Good luck to you all and happy hunting. I wonder where the first egg is?

[vulpixstars]

Yes! Found them all! Am I the first?

[Nada]

Argh! I just got on and just read this topic and somebody has already found them all?! Talk about unfair!

[Nada]

Umm... did you use the basic egg sprite provided? Because that looks to be... a different size...

[Lasarina]

yeah, my website screwed it up. here let me delete it and try again,

[The REAL Joey]

ARGH! The one day where i've been sidetracked and busy with things and this huge Easter event happens. Time to get my hunting gear on I guess?

*dashes off*

[Wes]

I would like my mudkip recolor egg.

[The REAL Joey]

Oh man, I can't believe I missed the first egg in your post in this thread, Oak. I think I was revving the engines a bit too much and began looking elsewhere. Either way, i've made a submission for the Design Your Own Egg competition:



BEHOLD! A KOFFING EGG! ...As if you thought I was going to do anything else. From my understanding we can enter as many as we like so... I might come up with some more original designs perhaps.

Righty-o. Back off to egg hunting.

[Wes]

ANother one I wnat to enter is my pikchui one.

[vulpixstars]

Here's a Pachirisu egg:

[camtoniac]

No fair! I have been busy sorting out a new passport all day ;(

[The REAL Joey]

I know that feeling Cam. Oh well, it's not like it was a one day only affair otherwise that would totally blow.

Nevertheless I just found all the eggs. I have to admit Oak, you sure are crafty in hiding them all. ;D I literally broke my desk as I smashed my head into it after realising where my last missing one was. ;D Now, time for some more eggs.

Edit:



Elekid/Electric Pokemon egg I guess.

Edit 2:



Most likely my last one for now but it's of a Gastly egg.

It has always bothered me why Ghost eggs are solid so I decided to do a ghostly egg.

[~Tamathefox~]

OH OH OH
I made a egg
Alothough, its rubbish...
How is this? O:

[The REAL Joey]

Your egg looks brilliant. I'd swipe it and try and hatch it for myself. Nice job, indeed.

[Professor Oak]

The winner of the egg hunt and the first to provide me with a complete list of all 18 codes is
......

....

..

Nada!

She sent me the winning PM at 5:54am, 5 hours and 44 minutes after I announced this event.
Congratulations!

We had a few people who came very very close. Jamie was the first to sent me a PM but she found 14 instead of all 18. Wes almost won it at 5:51am. He sent me 18 codes but I don't know whether it was an accident or whatever, he sent me #14 twice and was missing #7.

Lasarina came agonisingly close, sending her complete list at 6:39am. I haven't checked the other PMs but I think Joey came in third. Well done Nada and to everyone who managed to find all 18. Your rewards will be distributed at the end of the egg hunt ~ Tuesday.
