Thanks everyone for your wonderful articles. By the time this post goes up, the admission period for round one closes. Everyone who passed should have received their email already. I’ll post all the names below, so everyone can see who makes a chance at getting featured! Now, let’s go on with the details for round two!
What you need to do
For round two, we need a full-fledged article, to be featured in the magazine. It should be about two pages in Word, font size 11 (which is about 900 words). The article should have a rather timeless aspect, that is, it should be readable within two years and still make the same impact. Make sure it is fit for a magazine, so don’t make use of tables or list, or too many sprites. Take care of your grammar and spelling. If you win, we’ll still go sit together and iron all the kinks out, but a cleanly written article makes a much better impression. You can resubmit your article from round one if you think it is substantial enough. Submissions must reach me before January 3rd. I’ll send reminders to everyone if I haven’t got your article before December 27th. Winners (:)) will be announced somewhere around January 12th.
What you can win
In a change of plans, two articles can get featured in the magazine. Both will receive a printed copy of the magazine. If you didn’t win, it’s possible we’ll feature your article on the site in a revisit to a feature we revealed a while ago.. We’ll contact you in the case we want to see it featured. Sadly, there’s no prize coupled to this other than fame.

This consecutive fishing is taking abnormally long…
hi guys! sorry i havent been on in a while. ive been lazy and ev training my team XD
im sorta curious, does this trade sounds fair?: trading a Yveltal for a shiny aegislash/charizard
It does to me. Shinies are worth more than legends to me, in most cases.
And shiny legends are worth infinitely more than that.
Shiny Legends with HA is infinitely more than infinite
I’m getting Gen 3 and 4 games again specifically to soft-reset for shiny legendaries 😀
I do not have time for that, lol
I’m thinking about using my Black 2 specifically for Masuda method after I transfer my pokes.
omg! ffff i keep getting gibles in wonder trade XD i have too many now
I’ve gotten good many too. I just trade them off if they don’t have good natures.
I get so many Honedge and Eevee that it isn’t funny. And the Mawiles are everywhere.
wow o_o i wish i got more eevees/mawiles. but i did have my fair share of constant honedge trades XD;
I kept getting rid of the mawiles until i got an adamant one with seismic toss, and ice/fire fang too. in fact, i’d be willing to trade that at any given moment.
that sounds amazing XD!
I’d be willing to trade it to you. I’m not about the Ivs, but i’d be willing to give it to you.
wow really? o.o is there anything youd like? o:
What do you have? I’m pretty open to anything really. Not a Mawile person, so i won’t ask for anything outlandish
i have about 2-3 froakies with 5 perfect IV [sadly torrent D:], squirtle/wartortle, 3 marvel scale dratinis, dedenne, rotom, doublade, adamant scrappy kangaskhan, torchis , hidden power fennekins and eevees, anndd more stuff @_@
Hmm, do you have a Jolly or Adamant Meditite with Pure Power? And do the squirtles have Aura Sphere? And do any of the squirtles have a Quiet Nature.
dang it! D: my meditite has pure power but its serious. and sadly no quiet squirtles with aura sphere u.u only jolly, modest, and careful
Okay. Since we both are online, I’ll take the modest one.
Good game @luigi301!
Okay, so I have a few more Pokemon to trade, and i was wondering if anyone was interested.
Lapras, above average potential, 31 HP IV, knows Freeze Dry, Impish, Male.
Vulpix, Drought, relatively superior potential, 31 def, sp.def, speed, BRave female.
Heracross, outstanding potential, 31 HP,def, sp.def, Sassy nature, knows Rock Blast, Arm Thrust, Bullet Seed, Pin Missile
I would like heracross
Okay, what do you have to offer?
Lol, noothing i just noticed i have a moxie heraross thanks though
No problem, I’ll be here if you change your mind.
vulpix vulpix vulpix i want one
Okay, what do you have to offer?
what you are looking for? i got alot of shuckles
Anything with decent Ivs really. Nothing in particular. I don’t have a decent Meditite yet, so that would be nice, but if you don’t have it, just give me a short list of what you have.
its a spiritomb ok?
Hmm, what nature does it have?
i got 2 one with careful another one with quiet both with infiltrator
I’ll take the quiet one. My name is fenrir, and my fc is 3926-5715-7315. I’ll be ready when you are.
added mine 1332 8095 9996
Alright ready when you are.
ready i will send the trade invitation
I’m Fenrir, and I see you so I’ll be waiting.
Thank you:D
No problem.
So what are all the pokemon that there regular form is better than mega (opinion)
For me it is Garchomp
Does Prankster raise the speed of moves like Reflect, Calm Mind, ect or moves like Thunder Wave, Will-O-Wisp, ect, or both?
both, is every status move
Both. Most non damaging moves, regardless of what they do, i believe
I just realized that shiny mega garchomp is a different color lol XD
I know. I actually like the pinky-purply color more too.
I agree I’m glad they made it stand out more
I had a shiny gible on my black 2, i saw no difference
that’s true there really isn’t a difference I just meant the mega form is purple and pink 🙂
I honestly expected it to look the same still
So did I. I was surprised when i saw it. But not as surprised as when I saw Shiny Mega Gardevoir;
Yeah I really like the black on it.Too bad they didn’t just change the gible line that color but its still a nice surprise 🙂
Yeah, it was. The Gible line would look so cool with that color.
there’s also gengar I like the lighter color too him as well
Yeah, the Stark white really fits him as a ghost. But MEga Mawile really caught me off guard.
Mawile is one of my favorites even back in gen 3 Ive been trying to breed for a shiny xD
thats so awesome! :’D
It is I was watching a video of all of the megas in shiny form 😀
Is there a point when you’ve been fish chaining for so long that you should just stop and start over?
No i always lose my chain at 15
It’s been over 200 encounters from chain fishing since my last shiny. BS.
I haven’t been chain fishing :p
I got five shinies using the method 😛
UMMMM you got this brilliantly genius idea from me so thanks for the credit.
So if I get pokemon Y on Black Friday should I
Do all Fairy type type
Some random team with Delphox and Greninja?
THAT’S A SHINY POLIWHIRL
Congrats. If you want it to be a Shiny Politoed, I’ll be happy to help you evolve it.
It’s female so I think that would be fitting 😀
Alright. If you are interested in having me help you Politoed-ify it, I’ll supply the King’s rock if you want.
Oh my gosh thank you, I was concerned because I already used mine 😀 you’re the best.
No problem. Give me a moment ot trade with the great karbinkle, and then i’ll reply to one of your comments to let you know I’m ready.
Will do.
Lol, that was conveient
And I was about to cut off the chain.
Shower time then Hw time then bedtime
I finished my homework :p It was a ton of Japanese that I was having trouble with
yeah I think i’ll call it a night too
Night Homies
Does Poliwhirl usually have Damp?
Either that or water absorb
And it’s Bold, how does that fare for a Politoed?
Quite well. Most Politoed sets use it.
Yay this is awesome 😀
Yup no downside except Damp, but you can live through that right?
I think that’s alright, yeah.
That is actually pretty good
i had a bold Politoed
well with damp you dont have to worry about a shiny graveler exploting in your face
Exactly, I could use it while hunting in a place that contains Geodude or Graveler or something else that goes boom.
Did i tell you guys i used a shiny Braivary during my black playthrough
No but I love that thing. 100% ‘Murican Bald Eagle.
Yup it was while i was doing my other black play through My cousin had black, but he didn’t really want it so i had two blacks as soon as it came out
1 with no gts
1 with gts ( shiny Braviary)
I LOVE bravery but it sadly is not better than staraptor, staraptor is BAW5
@Dicie, it’s on google drive. Do you need the link?
Ywes Pwease.

Thanks for the help, im at page 16 on the thread
Sent you a request to share w/me 😀
Where would i find said request .-. im a noob xD
I’m in love with my shiny Pelipper. So glad I reclaimed it after restarted my Pearl file with one last year.
i will use 2 shiny method at once right now, horde battle and masuda method hope i double my luck
Good luck!
thanks:D
I strongly suggest consecutive fishing 😛
i hate consecutive fishing, its boring and tiresome and you dont have many options
YES TRUE.
A lot of people would agree with you, but I found six shinies using the method so far, so it’s definitely worth it.
i gonna try it one day because i really want a shiny dragalge and sharpedo
You will get both at the same time
Like that one video where the guy got a shiny Deoxys followed by a random shiny Spearow.
Seriously wow that is extreme luck!!
ShinyXatu, I’m ready. I’ll take the Poliwhirl, exit the trade, put the King’s Rock on it, and give it back. My name is Fenrir, and my FC is 3926-5715-7315
Alright great 😀 mine is 2191-7648-0558
I’m ready when you are
Let’s do this 😀 oh I am so thankful 😀
No problem, but why are you flaunting all of your shinies?
Hehe 😛
Alright. After I exit, give me a moment to put my king’s rock on it.
Alright cool, thanks.
i hope so lol
What Pokemon has the lowest catch rate? Is it mewtwo or beldum, metang, and metagross
Four way tie.
Catching Metang in Unova was a bitch.
Goodnight guys. I know I wasn’t on a lot today, but it has been a crazy day. Trust me, I really wanted to be on. Tomorrow’s the last day if school before break, so I should probably get that over with then worry about pokemon. Sorry guys. I’ll be back tomorrow I hope.
Good night to you too!!
I gotta hit the hay myself!
Goodnight :3
Good Night Guys!!!!
Good night to you too!
jiro, whats your ingame name again? XD
Fenrir. I’m trading again, but I’ll send you the request once I’m done.
Hope you like the Mawile.
hope you like the squirtle! ^^
Goodnight
I’ll turn in soon too. I wasted my day though. 🙁 At least a fresh start tomorrow!
*Yawn* Goodnight! (Yawns are contagious, so reply if you yawned as you read that)
Goodnight :3
Well, one last mega stone. The goodnite.
Goodra Mega Evolution?
Dicie, where do i find the request? xD
(thinks)
DUNNO XD
How will we figure this out ._. xD
Thanks so much @Jiro Uchiha!
No problem ShinyXatu!
Really means a lot, I’ve always wanted a shiny Politoed.
Glad I could help you out. I know, Shiny Politoed is pretty cool.
This would make even the most frazzled person chill as an Abomasnow smoking pot http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=Hjfush-9zhM
