EVENT!

Career Event:
Draw your PWOPL trainers taking on a career in the Pokemon world! Careers include:

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:50:01 -0400

INDIGO PLATEAU

So, Trainers. You’ve finally made it. You have progressed through Kanto, through each and every town and you have experienced good and bad events. You have made friends, enemies, and partnerships that will last a lifetime. And in some ways, you have learned new things every day and discovered many things about yourselves. Congratulations; you are now Seasoned Pokemon Trainers.

You now stand before Indigo Plateau.
There is room and board available for anyone who makes it out of Victory Road alive.

HOWEVER: Guards stand in front of the doors to face the Elite Four.
TRAINERS WITH UNDER EIGHT BADGES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE POKEMON LEAGUE CHALLENGE. No exceptions.

However, you still have time to do Speed Runs of all of the Gyms in Kanto. Simply look on Battle Expert’s profile for Gym and Level information.

EVENTS

Preparation Event: Illustrate your team preparing for the battle against the Elite Four and Champion. You will receive 2000P/hr or 2000P/700words.

Team Event has been Extended to Next Sunday, September 4.

Flashback Event: Draw/write about your character’s experienced and what they’ve learned throughout their journey in Kanto.
Rewards: 2000P/hr, 2000P/700words

Battle Expert will be posting Information on the Elite Four shortly.

ALSO: implementing a new rule here.

Writers receive 100P per 100 words of writing; this is to ensure every member can earn Poke equally. Writing, like artwork, takes effort as well and it deserves to be rewarded in the same manner, so I feel that adding this is necessary.

Cheating will NOT be tolerated.

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 02:24:00 -0400

Important announcement, just for all of you to be in the clear:

There are users who keep tabs on everyone’s inventory here and report to me if they find anything suspicious.
If you cheat, you will get caught, and there will be consequences.

Examples of cheating include rare candies out of nowhere without working for them/matching them up with your pictures, and the same goes for money and Pokemon when it comes to events. There are also other instances of cheating; any of these will NOT be allowed and anyone caught cheating will be punished accordingly.

This comes to another clarification: Side characters.
SIDE CHARACTERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BEGIN WITH CANON POKEMON. They are allowed to have ONE Pokemon for show, and it must be run by me for approval.

The Pokemon cannot be shiny, it cannot be a legendary, and it cannot be used in canon battles or be leveled up. It is ONLY for drawing and Roleplay purposes, unless you were to obtain that Pokemon or a pre-evolution of that Pokemon and turn it canon once fully evolved or at the desired stage.
You MAY, however, give CURRENT canon Pokemon to your side character or any Pokemon obtained from events in the present or future, and they may be used normally. (Example: Sacch was given several Pokemon from Kamun’s party because his party was overflowing.)

Anyone caught purposely making side characters with canon Pokemon will be subject to consequences.

TL;DR; Don’t cheat. Don’t be dishonest. You will get caught.

The sun sets on Viridian City and the trainers gather to head on...

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:00:24 -0400

The sun sets on Viridian City and the trainers gather to head on towards the Pokemon League. Marching up the stairs, they reach a tall, gated area. The gate slowly opens before the mass of trainers, parting the way towards the Pokemon League…

This is Victory Road.

Known as the final test, Victory Road is extremely dangerous. News reports have shown trainers returning home injured and sick from attempted journeys, their Pokemon beaten and knocked out, completely robbed of money and items. ROCKETS are also said to lurk in the road.

The wild Pokemon in Victory Road are vicious. Trainers are advised to proceed with extreme caution- encounters with rare and possibly evolved Pokemon will not be easily conquered. If trainers fail to make it through Victory Road, they will be forced to flee the caverns and go home to recover…

Welcome to Victory Road, trainers. You’ve made it this far.

- ULTRA BALLS are now available in the shop. Pokemon encounters will be at surprising levels, so stock up if you want to catch any.
- TASKS will be given to trainers to progress through the TEN LEVELS of Victory Road. It may be in the form of a riddle, wild Pokemon encounter, trivia, or many other things…
- I strongly advise ALL of you to STAY IN GROUPS. Pokemon may ATTACK you if you are alone, regardless of how strong/weak you are, and you can possibly lose POKE and ITEMS!
- We will not move on to INDIGO PLATEAU until all 10 tasks are completed. Think of this as a mini-plot. Get working if you want to get out fast! One task will be posted once a day; so the minimum you will spend in Victory Road is 10 days.

Sun, 14 Aug 2011 14:56:34 -0400

NEW EVENTS

Trivia Event
Over the course of the next couple of days I will be posting trivia based on the trainers of PWOPL and past events that have happened. It will be either a quote that you have to match to someone, a question with a yes or no answer, or an open-ended answer. The first person to answer the Trivia correctly will receive THREE rare candies. No cheating, no sharing answers. You are allowed to backtrack and use creeper resources, however, to find the answers you need.

Cosplay Event
Draw your trainer(s) dressed up as a canon pokemon character, another PWOPL trainer, or cosplaying another thing entirely.
Rewards: 1 Event Token/Hr. 1 event token/500 words.

Commenting
I’ve noticed that less and less comments are going around on the oekaki. I will be watching people who are active commenters, and they will be rewarded for their efforts. This is event ends indefinitely, and will be an all-time thing. HOWEVER, do not comment more simply to be greedy! Do it for the good of the community.

ALL of these events, including the Childhood Events and the 2 other events from last week, will end Saturday at Midnight.

Other things:
EVERSTONES, INCUBATORS, and WARM BLANKETS are now available through the exchange for 7 feathers each. They are no longer available through fishing. Fisherman will also be posting a little announcement of his own soon.

Have fun!

Sun, 14 Aug 2011 04:48:00 -0400

ALSO SOME MORE REMINDERS

- You can still fight every Gym Leader from Brock to Giovanni as long as we are still in Kanto.
Even if we have progressed into Victory Road, trainers who are behind and DO NOT have 8 badges will not be able to move on to the next step after Victory Road. They will make it out safely, but cannot participate in the final event before we move to Johto.
ONCE WE MOVE TO JOHTO, you CANNOT challenge Kanto gym leaders. You will have work your way up in the Johto League later on.
I will be explaining more later, I’ve said enough.
Take advantage of the events that give you POKE, Candies, and Event tokens. They will level your Pokemon a crapton. Trade with members for candies, because the community is willing to help you!

- 100 Poke per every 10 minutes of effort rule still applies. The minimum time limit for drawings is 10mins. This DOES NOT stack with events. It’s either the event prize or the 100P per 10min rule. Be sure to include how long you took on your pictures. If you don’t know, estimate. We won’t go after you. <3

- MAIL THE BREEDER EVERY TIME YOUR TEAM CHANGES.
Include incubators and blankets and flame body/magma armor with eggs as well.

- Go fishing every day. Talk to the bug catcher every day. It’ll help you earn prizes and good stuff.

Sun, 14 Aug 2011 04:37:17 -0400

Posting this here because I think everybody needs to see it.

Watch your language on the oekaki. I see people droppin’ the S bomb without censoring and that isn’t allowed. The site owner can nab you, me, and anyone else responsible for this board if that happens.

If I have to constantly remind you guys to watch what you say there will be consequences. Not trying to be mean, just a reminder here.

The site owner herself, Pinkie, has said that AT LEAST 2 letters in a swear word must be censored, and you shouldn’t drop swear words every other word.

Alright?

Alright.
Night everyone, more events tomorrow. <3

New Events!

Mon, 25 Jul 2011 19:57:01 -0400

SWAP EVENT
Formerly known as the “genderbend” event, we’ve changed a few things to make this event more flexible! You can draw your character doing one of three things:
- As a different gender/sex
- In a different style of clothing than they would usually wear
- Different race/species/etc. (for our nonhuman trainers!)
- Or you could do all of the above!

You will earn 2,000POKE PER HOUR that you spend on this event. REMEMBER: THE 10-MINUTE/100POKE RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO EVENTS. You ONLY get the specified prizes.

BLAST FROM THE PAST EVENT
Remember the 50s event? Well, now you can do it again!
You can draw your characters in fashion or settings from the following eras: The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and the 90s! If you’re unsure where to look for references, Google is your best bet. Search “50s fashion” for 50s, “60s fashion” for 60s, etc.

You will earn 1 EVENT TOKEN PER HOUR that you spend on this event.
If you don’t know what Event Tokens are, you can spend them on things at the shop. Check Shopkeeper’s Profile for what you can buy with event tokens.

ALL of these events are repeatable. The events end at Midnight on Monday, when the date turns to August 2.

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 01:27:13 -0400

CINNABAR ISLAND
The trainers have made it to a small, peaceful island set near a volcanic area. The locals are happy and healthy and the city has been rebuilt since the last eruption from the volcano, which now lies dormant.

Pokemon Lab
If you still have a FOSSIL in your inventory, you can revive it here if you missed out on the last opportunity!

Pokemon Gym
Blaine is now open and ready for battle! The Battle Expert will be posting soon about the match.

Cinnabar Hot Springs
After the rebuilding of Cinnabar Island’s town, the Hot Springs have been added to attract tourists. Draw your trainers (with or without Pokemon) lounging in the hot springs. Prizes: 1 Event Token per HOUR (60 Minutes) or every 700 words (for writers). This event is repeatable only once.

This isn’t all of the events; we have more coming on the way, stay tuned!

Note; if you’re still doing side plots with your characters in Saffron, that is okay. You can catch up, we’ll be in Cinnabar for a few days.

Pretty sure you've always wanted to see me naked.. Well.. I'm feeling pretty adventurous today so go to datelink3[dot]com (switch [dot] with .) then sign up and find my profile under the username 'lolsummer69'. I hid my face in the pictures. but I want you to guess who I am and then hit me up on Facebook lol. Good luck.

Hey guys, just a quick notice for all of you.

I’ve noticed some decrease in activity lately, and I just wanted to ask of a few things.

1. Try to comment a little more. Everyone here loves getting comments. And giving and receiving comments means more will go around and it makes everyone feel good. Plus, new and old members alike will feel accepted and welcomed into PWOPL, which is exactly what we want.

2. Participate in events! It’s worth it, trust me! You can get great prizes and it’s wonderful practice for your art. Regardless of your skill level, give it a shot and try to go outside your comfort zone. It really is worth the time and effort, and you’ll be rewarded for it in the end.

3. Remember to try and socialize with people other than just your friends. A lot of new members here are nervous and often don’t know anyone. Even if you’re shy, try really hard just to contact them, maybe through an o-mail or something. Reach a hand out. Offer help. Introduce yourself. Ask them if they want to start a plot with you so they can get their feet wet. Who knows, maybe you’ll make a new good friend!

That’s all for now, I may make a few notices about certain things to keep in mind in the future.

Have fun!

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 15:02:59 -0400

SAFARI ZONE!
Trainers from all around gather to catch Pokemon in the Safari Zone! Rare and exotic Pokemon inhabit this area, and for a fee the trainers may try to catch them!

~ Each time you enter the Safari Zone you must pay 500 POKE ~

HOW TO GO INTO THE SAFARI ZONE
>Deduct 500POKE from your total POKE amount. I will be checking and if I do not see deduction, you will be banned from furthur Safari Zone participation.
>You will then have ONE go into the Safari Zone! That means you will only have 1 chance to catch a Pokemon or get an item in your session. After you get a pokemon/item/nothing, you’re out and have to pay again to come back in.
>Draw a picture (10 minutes+) of your character exploring any of the following areas:
-Mountains
-Desert
-Field
-Beach
-Volcano
-Ruins
The area you explore determines the Pokemon you encounter (if you encounter one)
>After you draw it, I will post if you encounter a Pokemon, find an item (there are some special NEW items in the Safari Zone!), or get nothing.
>If you encounter a Pokemon, you can either
THROW POKEMON FOOD (Makes you 30% more likely to catch each time you throw- but the Pokemon has a 40% chance of fleeing!)
or
THROW A SAFARI BALL (20% chance of capture)
>You may go into the Safari Zone AS MANY TIMES A DAY as you’d like! As long as you have the money to pay!

Special Safari Zone items:
>Safari Incense- 100% chance to encounter a Pokemon in the Safari Zone. (Say you are using it in your initial post.)
>Super Safari Ball- 100% chance of capture in the Safari Zone
>Delicious Pokemon Food- Throw in place of Pokemon Food if you find this item. Raises chance of capture by 60% and the Pokemon will not flee.
>Discount Coupon- 1 free entry into the Safari Zone!

Have fun!
