Wudenbachs

1st Place @Candii Linfanz "With this piece, I particularly loved the way that this piece truly paints a picture and is able to set a scene that is able to broadcast the range of emotions displayed by the baby pokemon. The use of vibrant colours and clean finish quality is able to convey a high degree of artistic flair and a feeling of happiness to the audience which is testament to the artist's clear planning and vision for the piece which was accomplished by choosing the base the scene shown with a clear focus in the cupcakes." SneakyTeddi "You can feel the emotion just by looking at their faces. The colors were very well worked and it brings all the feeling of a baby's innocence when they're discovering the world. I believe everyone was tempted by a dessert like this one day and has memories of it, so I truly enjoyed the fact of this drawing bringing up this common childhood scene." Matoka "The Macaron table with Riolu, Munchlax, Azurill, and Wynaut is very good as while it is simply it is consistent in shading and composition, it is exceptionally clean and not a single aspect of it is treated lazily even for simple things such as the wall or carpet shading, the characters have very unique expressions that make them lively and makes the scene feel more alive and really does capture the idea of children being excited for snacks so I am very fond of it and think it deserves second place." Draak "I can see the feelings and emotions of each of the Pokemon present in the drawing, which makes me imagine a story behind that cupcake, even though the cupcake is the main thing in the drawing is not put aside to what really matters , the Pokemon. I can imagine several endings for that story, I hope everything went well for those babies." 2nd Place @MPDH Linfanz "The artistic style in the piece is simple yet effective, this piece truly emphasises cuteness through the use of sizes, shapes, the faces and individual detail of a range pokemon, and the hand drawn style is able to bring out the best of this piece. Whilst I feel that this piece could be improved through closer relation to the theme, this is still a worthy effort and a cute and beautiful piece." SneakyTeddi "The beach artwork showed a fun time with older pokemon playing with the younger baby pokemon, the warm colours and cute style they are drawn in makes the scene look very fun and reminds me of fun times I've had at the beach myself." Matoka "The hand-drawn beach artwork featuring Togepi and Meowth in foreground is incredibly wholesome and very cute, colouration and shapes of pokemon in the background are a little wonky but it's relatively minor and very cute to look at." Draak "When I see this I need to get the summer as soon as possible, see all those pokemon with an interaction so close and each one worried about different things makes me especially enjoy this drawing. The way it is colored makes them highlight the Pokemon present in the drawing, and thanks to that can see how it is enjoying each one." 3rd Place @Calaitzakos Linfanz "As with the previous pieces, this piece also is also able to set the scene and create a unique setting thanks to an incredible use of detail such as the rustic aesthetic - synonymous with parched paper, the unique appearance of the Pichu itself such as the inclusion of a hairstyle and the blowing bubbles is able to capture a setting that feels timeless - filled with depth and personality." SneakyTeddi "The details on this art along with the happiness you feel from Pichu make this piece deserving a spot between the winners. It also brings something that is loved by young kids and babies, which is playing soap bubbles. We can really see the emotion and the how much effort was applied to this event's entry." Draak "The Way It is plotted this Pichu seems really good, the expression of his face is very well achieved, it really is a drawing with many details and a lot of time invested. It can transmit the emotion of Pichu when playing with bubbles."

Dude, I was about to post that guide a second ago, but I switched tabs to find a good gif to include... Feels bad man. I gotta get a new gif to express how I feel now.

You think you can take first in the Team Tournament and the Villa Gathering back-to-back? That would certainly be something to see.

None of Cheren's matches were included, and neither were any of the other rival battles, save for Wally. This is because the NPC Re-Match Guide only includes battles that can be consistently challenged. You'll find that after you've beaten Cheren at that location, he can't be re-matched there again, hence his exclusion from the guide! ;) Good lookin' out though, @Mermeladadeguayava!

Me explaing the joke is kinda cringy though

You see how I told Aard not to take it seriously, and then proceeded to do just that? That's where the funny is supposed to happen. 'The cringe' isn't real. It was literally manufactured to be perceived as cringey. That's how satire works. It's a subtle commentary on Bestfriends himself, do you not see?! That's where the funny is supposed to happen!

I'm not gonna say that Mayor Bestfriends is without fault, and I believe that every elected official should be objectively criticized. That being said, Bestfriends is actually very approachable! It's easy enough to carry on a conversation with the guy, is what I'm saying. Although his position may not be taken seriously by some, the fact is that he was elected by the the community to represent them, and he does have an earnest conviction for the role. Honestly, the charm and appeal of the valiant Don Quixote is reflected in our Mayor. The fact that he does take it so seriously is what makes the entire enterprise worth being a part of! The fact that you're taking it so seriously, Aard, kinda defeats the purpose, you see? My advice? Ride the high, and don't harsh the mellow. It's more fun to be on the inside of the situation. When you denigrate it, you've missed the entire point! I'd like to take a moment now to express my appreciation for our Mayor. Watching his videos was one of my first impressions of this game, and meeting him in person was a down to Earth experience. He spends a lot of time helping out fresh players that are only just commencing their journeys, many of which don't even play for more than a month or two. It's a thankless job, but whether or not it's recognized by the majority of the community doesn't stop him from going out there and doing it. He's out there giving hours to players that most wouldn't pay any mind. Players without a badge to their name! I stand by my Mayor! May he continue to serve the community in all that he does. Serving the community that chose him to lead. - Wüdenbachs Vice Mayor of PokeMMO

Bestfriends! This guide is fantastic, man! Very well organized and researched You do well by your citizens, good Mayor Thank you!

no u ;)

In memoriam of Munchkin the Cat, and in support of Umbreeion, whose Love for her kitty has touched us all tonight <3

What's good! New to the forums, and back to the game with a new account years after initially playing :) I'm very curious as to why all of the items available in the Gift Shop, including Donator Tickets, can be purchased with in game resources through one means or another, save for the Amnesia Brace. After the conversation came up in Global, I felt inclined to start a thread, but I see now that this question has been asked for years. Surely, there must be a rationale for the decision to mark the Amnesia Brace as 'Untradeable', and we can speculate on that, but it'd be nice to know for certain the vindicating argument. I'm not against it as long as it's reasonably justified, and in all honestly, I'll most likely pay for one soon whether or not the decision to limit the availability of the Amnesia Brace is extenuated. This doesn't upset me because I'm ok with paying. I'm just curious why I HAVE to. Maybe it's really as simple as that. I'd like to imagine an untradeable Amnesia Brace was implemented to help maintain a fragile economy, or something along those lines, but maybe it really is simply content secluded behind a pay wall. As I mentioned, I'm not against this at all. I'm actually very grateful that the vast majority of items are NOT implemented in this way. Just lookin' for an straight answer is all. Kinda seems outta place, don't ya think? Looking forward to a reply, and thanks for taking the time to listen <3
