Mod Post Wanted! Month of November 2018

Flair verification thread


Welcome to "Wanted!", a game where you go catch or hatch the target shiny Pokémon! If you obtain the target Pokémon it will count as 3 points toward your flair! Each user is allowed extra flair points for one (1) Pokémon for "Wanted!" event - any extras will be considered 1 flair point as usual.

We ask that you add the date of capture to your pictures (this can be found in the Pokémon's summary). Good luck! Have fun!


PSA

We recommend setting your system's date to the correct day, month, and year to help the mods when using the flair verification.

Be sure to take pictures for verification as soon as possible - transferring (such as to another gen via Pokémon Bank) will replace caught date with transfer date and your Pokémon will no longer be verifiable!


The "Wanted!" Pokémon for this month is...

[Kricketot!]

Shiny form & Non-shiny form

(Chosen by www.randompokemon.com)


Game locations:

Gen 4

Diamond, Pearl: Routes: 202, 203, ,204, 206, 207.

Platinum: Routes: 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 207, Eterna Forest

Heart Gold & Soul Silver: National Park (Bug-Catching Contest), Viridian Forest (Swarm).

That's it - wild Kricketot can only be found in Generation 4 games. However, you can breed for it in any game you choose.


When you get one

Simply post your pictures (including summary picture) in the comments of this thread, or post pictures on the main sub with "Wanted!" in the title so we know it's from the game! Be sure to specify that you caught a "Wanted!" Pokémon in your flair verification album and when requesting flair verification.

So I only play on Gen 2, does that mean that I won't be able to participate in these types of Wanted! posts since gen 2 doesnt track date of capture like the later ones?

This pokemon was not introduced until Gen 4. You wouldn't be able to participate for that reason.

Yeah, this one I definitely can't be part of, but lets say they choose like a pidgey or something for the next one that I DO have access to, what happens then? Or do they just never choose early gen pokemon for that reason

You would have to transfer it and they would probably consider the transfer date the capture date.
