Presa had suddenly snatched his tickets and ran off, and Aston sighed. She had to stop running away like that. He followed her, but she found him again after a few minutes and held up the tickets. As well as three TMs. Well, three of the same TM. Return? What did that do? He would have to ask Theodore."Don't run off, Presa....Anyway, you three should get some rest. Alright?"He pat them all before looking at his new ball and letting the Honedge out. It really was a sword! How weird."So, what should I call you....Hm.""Hone?"

Is the legendary achievement a thing that actually needs to be played between a character and a mod-controlled professor, or is it like the RageCandyBar where we can NPC the professor?

You may request for a mod to control the professor, however it is not necessary. You can make the post yourself and quote a mod with all of the requirements for the achievement and that would be fine.

Oh. Okay then. Thanks!
One more question....If we have more than one character, can we have one scan the other's Pokémon to help fill up their PokéDex? Since Aston will be focusing on Steel and Fighting Pokémon, aside from a few others he may want because they look cool or are strong, he won't be filling it out too much. Theo will, though, because he's intent on it.
Did that make sense?

Mhm! That makes sense yes. Aston can scan them, sure, but in order for it to count towards things like Pokedex achievements and other rewards, as it says in the rules of the pokedex threads, you have to actually capture the pokemon and provide links to the capture as proof when you present the pokedex to the mods for achievements and the like. So if you're going for achievements, I'm afraid that wouldn't work... You're free to have him scan the pokemon without capture and fill his pokedex for RP purpouses though :0 However, again, if you were going for achievements on Aston, you would need to distinguish in his pokedex between what he's actually caught and what he's scanned, like how "seen" and "captured" work in the games with the pokedex.

...What purpose is there to ever fill out a PokéDex for fun or RP reasons?
And, WAIT A SECOND. We have to PROVIDE LINKS? That doesn't even make sense! We wouldn't have the Pokémon if we hadn't caught them! Links to traded Pokémon, sure, but....
Also, the way the PokéDex works, full information is revealed when a Pokémon is caught. Which means, caught Pokémon themselves are sources of information. I don't think it matters if a person caught it them self. If that was the logic, then traded Pokémon wouldn't be registered into the Dex because they weren't caught by the other trader. And, trading has become pretty important to filling out the Dex.

....The purpose is for fun or Rp reasons o -o I had Isis start filling out her pokedex back in PHL2, and there were no achievements for it. I just liked doing it. Noting pokemon she had seen but not caught, making the pokedex entries, it was just a fun side thing to do. -shrugs- I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea but I found it to be fun and did it for no reward.
You don't have to provide links unless you're gunning for the pokedex achievements. Otherwise, yes, you have to provide links, and it's perfectly sensible. People can get second or third stage evolution pokemon by catching them in the wild or getting them via an achievement. It would be very easy to claim that your swampert started out as a mudkip if you've had it for a year and it's horoscope claim was buried beneath a years worth of new horoscopes, so providing a link to the capture proves that you caught it as a mudkip, or lets us know that you actually just got it as a swampert. And that's only one example of why we ask for links.
Aside from that, not everyone will want to keep every single pokemon they've caught, so we allow people to catch and release pokemon if they'd like, but they have to provide a link in the pokedex if they want the achievement. Again, it provides proof that you've caught the pokemon, and makes it easier for the mods to check through. This is all thoroughly explained and outlined in the "Organizing Your Pokedex" page in the pokedex section, I'm sorry if you missed it, but this was announced as a change when we implemented the pokedex achievements, and has been this way ever since.
The pokedex is a fictional object in a fictional world, and so for the intents and purposes of this guild's rules, functionality, and rewards system for pokedex achievements, in order for a pokemon to be fully registered in the pokedex, your trainer must capture it or have a pokemon traded to them.
If this were just for fun and RPing, then I would say sure scan away, the pokedex works however you think it works, because if it were just for fun it wouldn't matter. However since there is a reward for completing the pokedex, we have to have some set limitations, rules and requirements so that it's fair, and so we are going off of the games in that in order to actually get full information on a pokemon, you must capture it or have it traded to you. The only exception of course being legendaries, because they're rare, and even in the games you could just read a book about the unobtainable legendaries and get the pokedex info for it, so we took that and said if you happen to see a legendary with another trainer and provide the link, then it's acceptable.
I'm sorry if any of these rules are an inconvenience to you, however event items and legendary summon items don't come cheap or easy. You have to work at a goal and follow the rules to get neat and powerful things.

And....Fighting, catching, and possibly having to encounter them several times because the dice system isn't work enough? Whatever....I'm still counting the Pokémon I caught as part of the achievement. Now I just have to go back and find those damn posts.

The only exception of course being legendaries, because they're rare, and even in the games you could just read a book about the unobtainable legendaries and get the pokedex info for it, so we took that and said if you happen to see a legendary with another trainer and provide the link, then it's acceptable.
I'm sorry if any of these rules are an inconvenience to you, however event items and legendary summon items don't come cheap or easy. You have to work at a goal and follow the rules to get neat and powerful things.
And....Fighting, catching, and possibly having to encounter them several times because the dice system isn't work enough? Whatever....I'm still counting the Pokémon I caught as part of the achievement. Now I just have to go back and find those damn posts.
Fighting and catching them is the work, the links are the proof of that work, and it's quite easy to do as you go. Granted the fact that you didn't know about the links is understandably frustrating since now you need to go find them, but you haven't gotten very far with Theo yet so it shouldn't be too difficult. And now you know for future reference and it should be pretty easy to just note the link to the captures from here on out.
EDIT: Also your legendary encounter is approved~ Go ahead and continue.
That was actually a lot easier than it should have been. It's a good thing I recorded which locations Theo caught them at. Anyway, even if it had been tougher, getting upset....Not called for. I'm sorry.
And, I've hit a shrub in the road with no HM Cut to use. I can't access the posts for the ones Theo met in Tanabata, and since Dominick is a transfer from PHL2, I can't really do anything about that. But!
Diggersby and Fletchinder were evolved from Bunnelby and Fletchling in the Four Island Daycare, and I did quote you when he got Amaura since it was a Lady Selphy gift. Will that be acceptable as proof since the links are out of reach?

Well that's helpful! I'm glad that made it easier for you. And thank you, I appreciate your apology. It's okay, I understand that the news was shocking and I'm sorry it frustrated you, but please understand that we have these rules only with the best intentions and making things fair.
Now, because Dominik is a special case, mentioning that Theo got him as a transfer from PHL2 will suffice for a link.
As for Theo's other pokemon, here is the link to the post in which he received them from the daycare, Here is the link where Theo got his Amaura, and just in case you want or need it, Here is the link where Aston got his Honedge from Lady Selphy.
For future reference there is a way to obtain direct post links from locked forums; there's a little square sheet next to every post date of each post, that sheet if you click it is a direct link to that particular post, so you can right click it and select copy link for the direct link to whichever post the square is attached to c:

...Like I said, Aston isn't going to catch every Pokémon, even to release them. So, his Honedge link....Not necessary? If there was an achievement list for characters who are only interested in certain types, then I'd need the Honedge link. But, I'll keep that safe in case I decide to change his mind. So, thanks.
Also, could you tell us mobile device users of that neat trick still works? Since we don't have computers or mouses to use. sweatdrop
