from the "SECRET SANTA" thread:

Manaphy

Since I had a spare one- Manaphy.

Apparently manaphy gets converted to phione...

see? i'm not the only one tricked by the manaphys ... can you PLEASE fix this bug or at least let us exchage something else?

[Lexiel]

You should be able to.

Manaphy IS a legendary Pokemon, and getting one is not the same as getting a Phione, I see those roaming the shelter like tiny blue little pests :p

Although it IS unfair if you give a say, Mewtwo, and get a Manaphy in return, the difference in rarity is there.

And as far as I can see Mewtwo =Very Rare, Manaphy = Rare (VeryRare) there's a difference in rarity stated, they should've explained it further for those who were trading in Manaphys

I can't find when it takes place anywhere.

*scratches head* I'm a little confused as well. When we put our Pokemon in, does it simply return to an egg, or does it become a new Pokemon of the same species? Meaning, does our own Pokemon simply get deleted, and the site creates a new egg? The reason I ask is because I have a female Riolu that I have no use for (the nature is wrong for what I have in mind) so I was planning to give it up, as they are sought after. However, I don't want to give it up only for some user to get a different Riolu entirely, which may or not be female.

Nevermind, I just realized that I have two MissingNo. I'll send one of them instead, and hope for a Novelty, plus it took me forever to get my two, so I'm sure others are struggling.

Still, if someone could answer that question for other users, I'm sure they would be pleased.

On Friday, December 25th 2009 at 12:30 AM, this Pokémon will be randomly given out to another entrant

The message above appears when you submit a Pokemon, so that's when this will happen.

[Something is Odd...]

Two Things:
1. My cresselia stayed a cresselia instead of becoming an egg, http://gpxplus.net/info/AQx4ZQR2

2. Is it possible to receive something we already have/had?

I can't find when it takes place anywhere.

When I put a Pokemon in it said 9:30PM tonight, which I'm assuming actually means 12:30AM Server Time

That was my problem. I forgot to read all the text under the "do you really want to exchange" button.

There is a tiny link under the mystery counter text, clicking it should take you to the Scerect Santa event.

Heres the link if you still cant find it: http://gpxplus.net/exchange

[Glaceon22]

I can't put a egg in the exchange whenever I try it just refreshes my page help! does it maybe have something to do with me not being able to click?

[Glaceon Trainer]

When does this thing take off?

[Big Bidoof]

A few answers.

- Yes, you can get Pokemon you've already obtained.
- The one you get will be the same rarity... exactly as it says. Novelty gets novelty, very rare gets very rare, and so on.
- Some reverted to eggs and some didn't because I was just making sure it does it properly, so only some are done. The rest will happen when the eggs are actually given out.
- I'll have to fix the Manaphys before it takes place. Chill out. (Though, you'd probably be better off with the rare since I donated a Ditto egg. )
- If you donate a shiny, you aren't guaranteed to get one in return. But if this is done in the future, I'll probably make it so that you get more points at the beginning if you do, I guess.

EDIT @ Glaceon22: Do you also have problems abandoning Pokemon?

You probably have a firewall or something that blocks referrer data from being sent to the server, which is used to prevent fraudulent pages from making you do things you don't necessarily want to do. So you'll probably have to disable that.

[Glaceon22]

not to bother anyone but what about my problem? it won't let me give a egg to the exchange
EDIT: yes i do have problems abadoning pokemon may you tell me how to diasble firewall?

[Big Bidoof]

... did you not read my post?

[Lexiel]

So if you donate a Manaphy you can get, say a Palkia, meaning, another Very Rare?

[Big Bidoof]

Exactly.

[Glaceon Trainer]

I can't get Manaphy right Bidofo.

[Big Bidoof]

You won't get the same species you put in, or a pokemon you've previously owned (one you've abandoned or bred).

EDIT: Well, that isn't entirely true, it is possible, but the script will only do that if by the time it gets to your name, there is no choice in the matter.

[Glaceon Trainer]

Yes but would I get then?

[Big Bidoof]

Well, if you deposited a very rare that isn't a Manaphy, and someone else deposited a Manaphy, then yes, there would be a chance you get one, if that's what you're asking.

[Wulphy]

But isn't the people that have names starting late in the alphabet at a disadvantage or are the names going to be randomized to make it more fair.

[Lexiel]

Exactly.

Thank you very much for your answer Bidofo, I asked because of the difference in the Rarity Fields regarding Manaphys.
They're stated as Rare (VeryRare) instead of Very Rare like the rest of the legendaries, I was wondering if it was intentional or if it meant anything.
Thanks again.
