Thank you to Pokemon Trainer Sarah for the spectacular banner!

Spread the Joy this Season!
Hosts: Chakramaster and Suicune’s Fire

Hello everyone! Welcome to PXR’s fourth Secret Santa event! 8D

This event is a gift exchange! Sign ups begin now and will close on December 5th. After signing up, you will be given another member’s username who signed up as well (on the 6th of December). This person is who you will be sending a gift to. Since you signed up, that means you will be receiving a gift from another Secret Santa! Everyone loves gifts, don’t they?! Giving is half the fun! The gifts will be delivered the day of or after Christmas, depending on the event managers' schedules.


Note: Everyone's gift will be posted at the end of the event for everyone on the forum (and beyond) to view.
If you are not comfortable with a public display of your work, please let either Suicune's Fire or me know when submitting your gift (or any time after that).

People who have been crossed off are the entrants who have submitted their gift for their recipient!
People in red have had to pull out (but told us on time--thank you!).




! Be sure to read over your recipient’s sign up post when planning your gift. It’s a good way to get ideas for what they might love to see from you! Click their username in the List of Participants for quick access.


Signing Up
There are 2 categories. Like last year, you may participate in both if you wish. This means you can send one or both of the following, depending on what you're interested in:

Wifi Secret Santa!
If you would like to send a gift through Wifi, sign up for this category! You will send and received a gift through Wifi. Please note that to participate, you MUST have access to Wifi/Internet, a 3DS, and a copy of your 7th generation game*. You have to be able to connect to Wifi and trade your gift. This category may take a little longer for everyone to get your gift, so please be patient. Your gift must be traded by December 22nd. Whatever you want to give is what matters in this trade. You are not required to send out a perfect IV/EV or even a shiny. You can even send more than one Pokémon if you want! =D

*Considering it's been over a year since the release of Sun and Moon, we assume this is the game all wifi present senders will be using. If you do not have a copy of Pokemon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, but would still like to participate in a wifi gift with X/Y/OR/AS instead, please let myself or Suicune's Fire know.

Non-Wifi Secret Santa!
If you’d like to sign up to the regular Secret Santa, sign up here! This will be a NON-Wifi gift. That means almost anything you can think of goes! Feel free to be creative here! Anyone that wants can sign up. No Wifi gifts will be accepted in this category.

You’re free to send any kind of gift here, but if you’re still thinking and trying to figure out “Oooh what really can be accepted in this category? =0” FEAR NOT! Here’s a few suggestions:

-> Artwork; a drawing, banner, sprite, desktop wallpaper, photograph etc.
-> Writing; a short story or poem etc.
-> Video; a short video, voice clip etc.
-> URPG items or Pokémon [you must follow the gift exchange rules of the URPG]
-> ASB items or Pokémon [you must follow the gift exchange rules of the URPG]
-> Anything else you can think of!

A Few General Rules:



Please keep the username of the person you are gifting (your recipient) to yourself! It is meant to be a surprise.
You MUST submit some form of gift to Suicune's Fire by December 21st. Please don't leave it until the last minute!*
You may send more than one gift if you like.
The ASB and URPG have their own gift exchange rules, so if you want to give a gift related to that, you will need to follow the rules of the ASB and URPG respectively.
Your gift MUST somehow be relevant to your recipient. This is easy to do, as you may include anything that your recipient included in their sign-up post such as their favourite Pokémon or colour. Generic gifts are not fun!


*If you cannot procure a gift in time for the December 21st deadline, please send a PM to Suicune's Fire or Chakramaster ahead of time, preferably by the 20th if you are sure you cannot make the deadline. This will give us a few days to make a replacement gift for whoever is missing out. You will NOT be banned from next year's Secret Santa if you are unable to procure a gift and let us know in time; you will, however, be banned from next year's event if you tell us too late (21st or later). Sorry. :( We just can't have people leaving it till the last minute, as it is unfair on multiple people.



Submitting Your Gift:
PM Suicune's Fire with the following information BY DECEMBER 21st.
DO NOT POST GIFTS HERE! That’ll spoil the surprise! D=

If you are sending a non-Wifi gift, please send the PM with the following form filled out:


Recipient:
Description:
Note:
Gift:




If you are sending a Wifi gift, please send the PM with the following form filled out:


Recipient:
Note:
Description of Pokémon:

Those receiving Wifi gifts will be told what Pokemon they will be getting on Christmas Day! However, YOU will be responsible for setting up a trade with your recipient.




Your gift MUST be PM’d to Suicune's Fire by December 21st. Fail to do so and you will be banned from participating in the Secret Santa event next year! Last minute gifts are no fun and are not fair on your recipient. Please don’t leave it until the last minute!

- If you need to drop out or cannot get a gift prepared, let myself or Suicune's Fire know soon as you can! There's no penalty for having to drop out and letting us know. You will only be banned from next year if you give us no notice and your gift has not been submitted on time!


Thank you for participating, and remember, have fun! 8D

I totally didn't see that you signed up for Wi-Fi, Noble. :( I saw it but I guess I got it confused for the non-Wi-Fi sign ups. Blame my sick brain for the mixup.

Not tagging an individual person because I don't want to say/reveal who my Secret Santa is but I have a question for you three. Would either of you three mind receiving something made from PKHeX, the tool used to edit Pokemon save files? I unfortunately don't have the time to breed a proper gift with college finals coming up. And not to worry, the gift I would make in PKHeX would be the more or less the same gift I would make if I was breeding the Pokemon myself so these won't have any illegal movesets or anything that seems out of the ordinary.

Nope I don't mind at all. So long as it could be considered "legal" then it'll be fine.

Yep, it'll be legal movesets and everything. I don't give non-legal things to people as gifts unless they specifically ask for it. You'll (I'm saying you as a general term) be able to use this Pokemon online and or deposit it in Pokemon Bank. :) They'll be as legal as they can be considering what I'm using to make them.

My dudes! You all rock! I've gotten most of all of your presents; I've heard from the ones who haven't submitted them yet so that's basically everyone done! :D Thank you for being so prompt, everyone!

Just as a side note, you are completely welcome to make changes to your gift until the morning of the 24th (in your timezone) and I'll happily send out the changed one! This means that the gift you have submitted already will be sent if you don't get the time to edit/refine your gift if you had planned to do so, so your recipient will get something on time. But yes, feel free to edit, refine, and everything in between if you so desire because I'll be holding onto them until Christmas Day anyway!

IT'S ALMOST TIME EVERYONE! Throughout the Christmas Day you will be receiving your Secret Santa gifts. It's been a fun one and I hope everyone else had fun with their projects too! Can't wait to see them all (for those that want them to go public at least).

Chakramaster
12-25-2017, 11:04 PM
double post for update!

Everyone should have gotten their gift by now. If you do NOT want your gift shown publicly, then let me or Suicune's Fire know here. Soon, we will have a thread showcasing these gifts if you want just as we did last year! Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas this year. Merry Christmas everyone!
