Image Let's Go Camping! Image


This month's event is a two part event! First up, there is a new feature on Poliwager Adoptables starting now. Introducing the Pokémon Camp! The Pokémon Camp is a place where one of your Pokémon, and up to 3 other users' Pokémon can play together, and gain Exp. Points and Happiness for spending time in the campsite! In order to access this area, you will first need to purchase some Camping Ingredients from the Poké Mart. These items vary in taste and quality when creating Curry, but each one will allow your Pokémon to camp with others! Every 6 hours, starting at 12:03 AM, Pokémon that are camping will return to their owner. Each time you camp, it will keep track of how many times you as a user have camped total, and how many times individual Pokémon have camped. In order to win a prize egg this month, you will need to have camped a total of at least 30 times! I spent a lot of time on this feature, and I'm very excited to share it with you all, and I hope you enjoy it!

Secondly, as mentioned in this thread recently, we will be having a Shiny Hunt for Omanyte, dedicated to Gryphaena. In order to receive a prize egg at the end of the month, hatch a shiny Omanyte! There will be additional Omanyte eggs on the Adopt page, as well as multipliers during weekends to help you hatch your eggs as well.

August Community Weekend!

Community Weekend is a weekend each month aimed towards gathering as a community here on Poliwager Forums, with various bonuses on Poliwager Adoptables. This month's Community Weekend will be from August 21-23! This month's Community Weekend Bonus-type is Poison-type! More of the Bonus-type eggs will appear on Poliwager Adoptables during the weekend and Exp. bonuses will apply to any Bonus-types that you interact with or post here on Poliwager Forums. Add your Bonus-types to your party and signature here and adopt some new ones during Community Weekend!

Finally, please vote for next month's Community Weekend Bonus-type! Next month marks the 1st full year of Community Weekends on Poliwager, so I wanted to let you guys decide what the 1 year anniversary type should be, picking from types we have not done yet!

Tell Your Friends!


Lastly, Referral prizes! Tell a new friend about Poliwager Forums, have them post in this topic saying that you referred them here, and you both will receive a small bonus prize on Poliwager Adoptables! Let's continue to make Poliwager Forums a great place to relax and hang out with fellow Pokémon fans. If you have any suggestions on what we can do to make this an even better place to be a part of, please post them here as well!

Summer is almost over, but that doesn't mean we can't still have fun together. Let's go camping, and let's have a good month!

A year of community weekends? I wonder if something big is planned. I hope everyone has a good time, and does well for the shiny hunt. I personally don't have that much luck, but who knows, I might do it this time. :mrgreen:

Ooh Pokemon Camp? I just bought a lot of burgers, so who wants to camp with Emolga? I'll bring burgers. :D

I can't believe it's been a year since we have implemented the Community Weekends, and I am excited for the anniversary of it! I hope everyone enjoys the events this month on Poliwager Adoptables as well, and @Oshi, I am wishing you some luck my friend! I hope it helps! :D
I am going to join you Oshi, I think my Pokemon would like to eat burgers with your Emolga! xD

Aside from that, who's y'all's favorite Poison-type Pokemon? I have recently taken a liking to Vileplume as well as Toxel. I think though that Ivysaur is one of my favorites because it's so close to having my last name in it, plus he's super cute!

Here's a cute gif of their pre-evolutions! xD

Poison huh. I remember seeing that type way too much. Does every bad guy have to use dark or poison?
Ivey...Ivysaur. My mind has exploded. Then again, it's just like Oshi and Oshawott. I think I like Bulbasaur the best, just because I was a Bulbasaur in Mystery dungeon, I have a special connection with him.

Community Weekend ends within the hour! How are your Poison-types faring? I apologize for my inactivity these past couple of weeks. Life kinda caught up with me and I am trying to make end's meet. I hope y'all have been well! <3

Update: The prize eggs have been given out to those who successfully completed this month's events! If you found a Shiny Omanyte, you can adopt a Magearna egg! If you went Pokémon Camping at least 30 times this month, you can adopt a Necrozma egg! You can see if you've adopted them yet by going to the Events page.
