@Carlissa: that's why I said to limit everybody to only<strong>one</strong>shiny, and only if they actually want one. As for Sparkles, well my character Elektra specializes in rare/unusual Pokemon, so it makes since that she would have an shiny. I'll be perfectly happy to have Sparkles be an "normal" shiny though if people don't like the idea idea of an shiny being an untrue-to-the-game/anime color. But I figure if we're using Fakemon, weirdly colored Pokemon might be fun too. This is an whole new region after all. Maybe there's something in the water or berries that produces unusually colored Pokemon. That would be an perfect excuse for Elektra to be here.<br/><br/>@Event talk: I think we should allow everybody who has an idea for an event to submit their ideas and then have a vote on which of those ideas to use first. It gets everybody involved, and I like things that gets everybody involved
