Poliwager Press

Starting now, you are able to decorate your own room on Poliwager Adoptables for others to see!

As mentioned in the October Event thread, the October Ghost raising event will be continued for another week to allow users to get their Ghosts to level 30 before giving out the prizes. Be sure to interact with the Ghosts on the Stats page to help out! Happy November! This month's event is a Funfest Mission event! You can read the page for more information, but it's basically a big group effort every day for everyone to get a prize! The more you help, the more likely it is that you'll all receive Pass Orbs in order to win the prize egg at the end of the month! Also in November, Poliwager (the main site) is turning 6 years old on November 27, as well as that day being Thanksgiving, just as it was when Poliwager was born! So, happy birthday to Poliwager, and that day, there will be a multiplier on the Adoptables, as well as an Event Ticket for Regigigas! Enjoy, and I hope you celebrate with us here! Requirements for winning a prize egg

You may only obtain one of the eggs that will be given out, per event.

You may only obtain a prize Pokémon once. Meaning, if you obtain a Zapdos during one month, you can't obtain a Zapdos during the next event with a Zapdos in it.

There will be as many of each Legendary Pokémon given out as there are eligible participants.

You will find the egg on the main Adopt page, not in your party right away, and keep searching until you find it.

You will be the only one able to see your egg, so there's no rush in trying to get your egg before someone else.

BE SURE TO READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS. I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY THAT CAN BE FOUND HERE. Is it me or does it feel like July? This month is going to be a Pokémon Raising Competition! The Pokémon this time is a newly added Pokémon, Rufflet! All you need to do is hatch a Rufflet, and raise it to level 50 or higher by the end of the month and you will be able to win a prize egg! A way to help your Pokémon hatch and level up is, of course, posting it in your signature on forums, including this one, and posting around to get it views and maturity! There is a Stats page listing for the Rufflet as well. And yes, you may evolve it at any time if you wish. Good luck and enjoy! Requirements for winning a prize egg

As you might know, Poliwager Forums is turning 5 years old this Thursday,  April 10, 2014. We’re going to have a big party to celebrate there! If  you’re able to, we’d love it if you stopped by and checked out the forums  again and joined back in the fun with us, hanging out, playing forum games,  and chatting about Pokemon, life, and everything in between!  As always, if you ever have any suggestions on how to improve Poliwager  Forums, please let us know on the Suggestions forum, because we want to  make it as comfortable as possible for everyone, new and old! 

Here we are. 5 years after Poliwager was started. On this day, November 27, in 2008, I sat down at my computer on Thanksgiving and began working on a few small pages, notably the Happiness page (I say notably because I honestly don't remember a ton of what was first around back then.). This was done in iWeb, a program that used to be included with Macs for making quick and easy webpages and getting them online with my Apple account. The domain name wasn't at all official, so in January 2010, I learned HTML and CSS and completely rewrote Poliwager and then in May that year I bought the domain name Poliwager.net for it. After that, Poliwager started taking off more. Earlier, in April 2009, however, I created the Poliwager Forums, which were also under a free domain name that wasn't through Poliwager.net's either, and that was pretty successful the first year and a half until I moved the forums over to the Poliwager.net subdomain, Forums.Poliwager.net, which was a wonderful change. Also in 2010, the Poliwager Adoptables was started in June. And as they say, the rest is history. (If you're curious about more history of the site, please check this page out!) Since that first day of Poliwager, we've hosted tournaments, played games together, adopted Pokémon together, hung out in the Chatterbox, and just had a great time. From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to say thank you, all of you, for helping make Poliwager a success, and having fun with everyone involved! Now, let's pop open that famous Poliwager Champagne and have a party in the Poliwager House!

Happy November! This month we’re doing something special, because it’s the month of Poliwager’s 5th anniversary! On November 27th Poliwager will be 5 years old! It’s hard to believe it’s come this far, every year seems to go by fast, but it’s been so much fun and I’m glad to have been able to share my love of Poliwag and Pokémon with everyone! So, onto the event! Actually, this November, there will be two events. It will be both a Pokémon Raising Competition, as well as a Shiny Hunt! These events will both be going at the same time, so if you get a Shiny Pokémon, you’ll win one prize, and if you get the Pokémon raised, you’ll get another. This means there will be two prizes, and everyone is able to get both. The conditions are as follows: For the Pokémon Raising Competition, the Pokémon to raise is Poliwag! If you're new to these types of events, it works like this. You must obtain a Poliwag egg, hatch it, and raise it to level 50 by the end of the month to be eligible for the event prize. This Poliwag must have an ID number of greater than 92225, meaning only newly adopted Poliwag will be eligible. Raising is simple! By clicking others often and posting its image codes in your signature here on Poliwager Forums or other forums, it will gain maturity fairly fast. Basically this means that if you already own a Poliwag over level 50 it will not count, you will need to find and raise another one with the ID number greater than the one listed earlier. For the Shiny Hunt, the Pokémon is also Poliwag! All you need to do is hatch a shiny Poliwag by the end of the month with the same conditions as above, an ID number of at least 92225 to win a prize egg! Basically this means that if you already own a shiny Poliwag it will not count, you will need to find and raise another one with the ID number greater than the one listed earlier. Good luck and happy anniversary to Poliwager!
