Secret Santa 2014 Gift Showcase!

[Suicune's Fire]

Welcome to the...

SECRET SANTA 2014 GIFT SHOWCASE!


So many of you made fabulous gifts for your secret santas, which includes artwork, writing and also wifi gifts! This thread is here to show off all these gifts for others to see.

If you have any interest in your gift being put on display, please send me a PM to let me know or post in this thread. I have all of your gifts so there's no need to actually give me a file. :] If you received a gift that you would love to show off, please let your secret santa know so that you can get their permission for showing it.

Yes, you may ask to have wifi gifts shown. :] I'll simply put up the 3D X/Y/OR/AS image of the pokemon with its details.


NOTE: Please make sure that if you ask for your gift to be put on display, your secret santa is aware of who you are. If you have not already guessed your secret santa or your secret santa has not guessed you, then I will not post your gift until it's been guessed and affirmed. To guess, please head on over to the Secret Santa guessing game (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?5195-Secret-Santa-Guessing-Game!) thread.

WRITING

1. Ghostwriter (for Death's Spook)



1.
Death's Spook
Death opens its shade
like an umbrella casting
dryness amidst a deluge
-- an umbra over time,
burying history with its bones,
until one unearths it.

Whispered murmurings of
stories past, delved into with sharp sanity
that cuts through minds that fathom not.

The spectre's cryptograms are no secrets
to a Socratic, and frustrations churns
towards the ignorance of others
who cannot decrypt its lexicon.

They cannot look into the mirror
-- the reflection of worlds, fragments of the cosmos.
They do not see the threads of creation of an infinite arras.
They cannot wonder at the beauty of the rivers -- the undines.
Nor the wind whistling through the willows,
or the hidden caves of treasure.

Though shades alike, I know you
not personally by psyche nor soul,
but by a festive name card.
I hope, posterity bequeaths us chance
to partake in a toast with
Paracelsus' mythic elixir.

SHAYMIN IS THE BEST!! SHINY SHAYMIN IS THE VERY BEST!! THEREFORE MY GIFT FROM COREY IS SUPERIOR!!

Anyway, here is my gift for Evildraws:

[XaiakuX]

My gift to MagmaGrunt_1991:

http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu222/SirX-kun/Banners/MG91Ban.png

Albeit it was a tardy gift. Still counts.

Consider it a birthday gift as well!

[Suicune's Fire]

All gifts added to the showcase posts! 8D Um Corey how does that shaymin have 6 EVs in HP? XD

Speed-X Yours too! 8D Thanks for tagging me; I mightn't have seen it otherwise. xD

[Kaoru]

All gifts added to the showcase posts! 8D Um Corey how does that shaymin have 6 EVs in HP? XD

So its EVs equal 510 aka the max amount of EVs a Pokemon can have. 6 + 252 + 252 = 510.

[Suicune's Fire]

Oh. Why did I think it was four? XD Then why does yours only have four?

[Kaoru]

Oh. Why did I think it was four? XD Then why does yours only have four?

Mine only has four because of the mechanics of EVs. Every 4 EVs in a stat equals 1 extra number in that stat at level 100. 6 can't easily be divided by 4 so people tend to leave off those 2 extra EVs.

[Corey]

All gifts added to the showcase posts! 8D Um Corey how does that shaymin have 6 EVs in HP? XD

Yeah, there's two extra EVs that do nothing. xD I am just a perfectionist! It also shows up as fully trained in Super Training!

ARTWORK
2. Replacement Gifts by Suicune's Fire (for MagmaGrunt_1991, Trainer17 and Nekomata respectively)

What is this? For people who didn't get a gift? Because I'm pretty sure MagmaGrunt got one.

Or for people who didn't get their favorite Pokémon? In which case, where's mine? Because I love my gift, just not the biggest fan of Stantler.

[Dragon Master Mike]

I feel like my gift wasn't very good just because I didn't really have to put very much time or energy into it, I just took things from my ASB stats to give. I regret not making something, even something small, to go along with it.

My gift to Ghostwriter was...

Litwick [F]
Ability: Flame Body

+

$28 (Enough to fully evolve +$5)

As mentioned above, in ASB.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

What is this? For people who didn't get a gift? Because I'm pretty sure MagmaGrunt got one.

Or for people who didn't get their favorite Pokémon? In which case, where's mine? Because I love my gift, just not the biggest fan of Stantler.
The replacement gifts are for people who didn't get gifts by the day when gifts were supposed to be given out. All gifts were supposed to be in by the 24th. You were a few days late and we couldn't really delay everything that much for one gift.

[Suicune's Fire]

XaiakuX it'd be appreciated if we spoke about this via PMs. I wasn't aware of your gift to him until yesterday, which was days after I'd made that gift for him. I felt obliged at the time to make a replacement gift, so that's what I did.

[XaiakuX]

Oh, I wasn't trying to be a jerk about things. I was just genuinely confused. All is answered, now, though.

[Grassy_Aggron]

My gift for XaiakuX~

I've been using it, and it's pretty rad. It's kicking *** in a few battles. Despite being.. you know.. Stantler. New found appreciation.

[Ganyu]

My gift for Death's Spook. I don't really know you so I didn't know what to write about. (I got inspiration while I tried to learn more about you lol I heard you like Norse mythology xD)

Death's Spook
Death opens its shade
like an umbrella casting
dryness amidst a deluge
-- an umbra over time,
burying history with its bones,
until one unearths it.

Whispered murmurings of
stories past, delved into with sharp sanity
that cuts through minds that fathom not.

The spectre's cryptograms are no secrets
to a Socratic, and frustrations churns
towards the ignorance of others
who cannot decrypt its lexicon.

They cannot look into the mirror
-- the reflection of worlds, fragments of the cosmos.
They do not see the threads of creation of an infinite arras.
They cannot wonder at the beauty of the rivers -- the undines.
Nor the wind whistling through the willows,
or the hidden caves of treasure.

Though shades alike, I know you
not personally by psyche nor soul,
but by a festive name card.
I hope, posterity bequeaths us chance
to partake in a toast with
Paracelsus' mythic elixir.

[Suicune's Fire]

Perfect, everyone. :] All added!

[sammy0295]

Feel free to put my gift up, and Metal Gear Snivy, if you're cool with it, I'd love to see your awesome gift up.

[Suicune's Fire]

No worries. :] I'll wait for MGS's confirmation.
