bravenewmeta | Event End (for Real) and Other Announcements!

Hey guys! A ton of announcements tonight, so here's a list!

1. First off, the Heatran Event has reached a point where we can say it safely concludes with a happy ending! While not all the teams have succeeded yet, Heatran has been appeased and has returned to the depths of the earth to its slumber. Please go ahead and continue posting, though! In gratitude for facing such a fearsome opponent, the following rewards will be given:

Everyone in the game regardless of participation will receive one Starter Egg of their choice that will come with an Egg Move. It will hatch in two weeks, on August 23rd. Additionally, everyone in the game will also receive one Evolution Item of their choice.

Log participators will receive an extra reward of a Guru's Wisdom. As noted in the FAQs, this is a unique item that can do such things as bestow a Hidden Ability or teach an Egg Move or a Tutor Move. It can only be used once.

Additionally, Citadel is now open for application, and a description of the city will be up shortly in the Outside Civilizations page. A new Enlightened ability unique to Citadel citizens called Child of the Howling Gale will be put up in the Enlightened Abilites page.

2. The Seekers Logs have also progressed to a point where they can be concluded, and those who participated will receive a Guru's Wisdom. If your character participated in both a Seekers Log and the Event, they will receive two. In addition, the characters have recovered TM18, Rain Dance, and TM80, Rock Slide. They will also return with some ancient texts that will require some effort to decipher... A Player Plot to decipher these secrets may be set up.

The Seekers will also begin to set up a new base in Union. Characters may now elect to join the Seekers if they wish. Those who belong to outside organizations like the Seekers and Team Evolution may begin to be given orders during events by their commanders.

3. More areas have been unlocked! The Crater Plains and the Coastal Valley are now accessible for exploration and bonding! The Map Post has been updated with the new information; please go there to make your requests as always. The Coastal Valley, as noted in the description, also contains a strange set of ruins.

In regards to new areas, we're going to do one more thing to keep it from being too easy to reveal everything within the space of ten minutes: Intensive Searches may not be used in a new area for the first two weeks to reveal a Pokemon. They may still be used to bond with a previously revealed Rare.

4. The Breeding Center will be slightly changed to make it easier to use. You may now request the base form of any Pokemon that has been left in the Center within the last two months. Additionally, when leaving Pokemon in the Center, there is a chance that you may receive a rarer starter egg regardless of what is actually on the list. You may choose the starter if this chance is rolled.

Feel free to ask questions below! You may also make a note of the items/starter eggs you claim. We'll roll for shinies if you do so.
