((Alright, here it is - THE Sinnoh Giveaway. It will ONLY be open April 22, launch day for North America with Diamond and Pearl. The Pre-Sinnoh Non-Sinnoh Giveaway will go on for a couple more days (hey, free money), and there will be either one or two more Sinnoh-related giveaways (there will definitely be one more). However, if your name is called for the partner challenge, you can post after the 22nd. (Also, if you need to call a name, you cannot call any of the names below, or the names of those who called them.)
Names that have been called for the partner challenge:
- Irae (called by Ruin) (battle: Benny/Barboach + Depression/Trapinch VS Luxio + Roserade)

Oh, and if you don't know the Sinnoh Pokemon: www.psypokes.com/dp/index.php you can click there to see a bit of 'em.)).
However~, I know some people won't be able to go online tomorrow. So~, there is a partner deal. Save somebody from having to ONLY post here today! Read on to see how to do it.))
Takahiro Ueda, the rather tall leader of the Flipside Curcuit's Monochrome Gym, was unhappy. It had been his birthday, yet no hot girl had even bothered to ask him out. However, his castform, Yotsuba, was doing well to make him happy.
"<Jumbo! It's Jumbo's birthday! Let's get some cake! CAKE!>" As she sang, she zoomed around him as he set up his obligatory birthday giveaway, which had been turned into this whole wingding and fry, the Sinnoh Giveaway. "<We're giving presents! The flower cupids!>"
"We're not giving out flowers, Yotsuba," Jumbo stated as he moved another box, and opened a second.
"<Then we're the present cupids, yay!>" Yotsuba cheered as she landed on the sign that read "Jumbo Sinnoh/Birthday Giveaway". "<It's going to be a celebra...celebramation? Celebrahshin? ...PARTY!>"
"Yep, Yotsuba, it's going to be a big party. Huge. With elephants."
"<ELEPHANTS?>"
"Well, a phanpy. But he'll be juggling."
"<JUGGLIERS?>"
"Yeah. Well, they're jugglers, but-"
"<YAY!>"
The man chuckled, and then went about posting the rules and information about the giveaway. The sign read:
"Welcome to the birthday of Takahiro Ueda and advent of Sinnoh giveaway! You can get stuff here. This is what you have to do to get the stuff, because the stuff is both really cool and good:
- Say happy birthday to me, or I'll eat you. Ditto to any hot girls who don't ask me out. (I kid about the first...not the second. Still single, you know.)
- Take a "celebrating four generations" package, provided by whoever's running the whole Sinnoh deal. This includes:
----- 4 rare candies (keep the sugar AWAY from your more hyper Pokemon)
----- 3 assorted capturing devices (they assure me Ultra Balls will not be included, since they are too boring)
----- 2000 pyen (so you can buy something better, I would assume)
----- 1 Sinnoh-native, non-legendary Pokemon. For this, you must either:
----- ----- specify the species you want without any non-Sinnoh relatives (i.e., not gliscor or leafeon) (you do not get to choose the gender, personality, or group), or
----- ----- specify the gender, personality, and group you want (you do not get to choose the species, but it could have non-Sinnoh relatives, like gliscor or leafeon)
----- ----- If you do not want a Pokemon, then we have to talk to decide something else, since the people were much too lazy and worthless to come up with a standard alternate prize.
- You also get to take part in a "partner challenge", run by me, since the Flipside Curcuit is all about double battles and stuff. If you're a loner (booooooo), then you tell me you're all alone, and you get one rare candy. One boring little rare candy. However, if you want to do the "partner challenge", then you:
--- 1) Tell me the name (either character name or username) of your partner - you do NOT have to coordinate beforehand, nor do you have to know each other. ((Also, if you don't want to pick a partner, you could tell me the name of somebody who might not be online today. If their name is picked as a partner, they have no time limit...so you could save somebody from missing the deadline.))
--- 2) If you are the person to say a name of somebody, then you will participate in the "theoretical double battle" challenge. I will tell you two Sinnoh Pokemon, and you have to pick two Pokemon, one from your team and one from your partner's, that you would choose to battle them. (For this, levels are ignored, so if you want to pick a level 5 and level 100 Pokemon, that's fine.) If I think it would be a good team to use, then you get a Sinnoh-themed hold item AND two rare candies.
--- 3) You are done. This next part is for your partner, since they don't need to say a name.
--- 4) Your partner is informed of the team you picked. You get to participate in the "theoretical double battle" challenge as well, but you do something different. I tell you the two attacks the opposing Pokemon will be using on your Pokemon and your partner's Pokemon. Assuming you are in a standard room (nothing special), you need to come up with a LEGAL plan to minimize damage, then choose the two attacks to retaliate with, and how you would use them. If I think your plan is good (in relation to the Pokemon your partner picked), then you get a Sinnoh-themed hold item AND two rare candies, just like your partner."
Yotsuba stared at the sign. "<Wow, it's really long!>"
Jumbo nodded. "Yup. Let's see who can get through that..."
Then they waited for people to come up and wish him a happy birthday (and more importantly, get stuff.)
((Alright, so yeah. Big giveaway, lots of stuff to read. ^_^;; And this is ONLY OPEN ON APRIL 22. This is your chance to be a good fellow member to somebody else...
If you think somebody won't be online tomorrow, but you will be, then say their name. If they get chosen as a partner, they don't have to post tomorrow. However, it will only be open later for people who are chosen as partners.
So, if you think your best friend will come online, maybe you shouldn't pick them. Maybe you should go for one of our slightly-less active members, and give them a chance to get some good stuff.
Keep in mind, though, there will be at least one more Sinnoh giveaway, it just won't be as good.
Also, if everybody picks one Pokemon, I will throw things. XD))
