Unannounced

The possible prizes for the next ChatQuiz are:
150 Nuggets
Phione
Mega-able Pidgeot
Shiny Audino

Next month's "theme" choices - vote for the one you want!
Flying Types, Grass Types, Bug Types


What's that? You've got some questions about ChatQuizes and the Monthly ChatQuiz? Alright, I'll do my best to answer them! Please check the FAQs below before asking questions. The FAQ also holds what the rules basically are, though I don't have any straight out "rules" :)

About ChatQuizes
Show hidden content
Quote from What is a ChatQuiz?
A ChatQuiz is when users gather in the HeroChat to play a trivia game. One or two users host by asking questions, and the first user to answer correctly gets a point(s) for answering. The user with the most points at the end wins!


Quote from When will the ChatQuizes take place?A Quiz will take place once every month. The date is not set immediately, due to my ever-changing work schedule, but will be announced generally no more than a week after a new month starts. *If there is ever a month when I am just unable to host, either AuroraNightshade will host one for me or we will have TWO quizzes the following month!*


Quote from What will the ChatQuiz questions be about?The ChatQuiz questions can be anything Pokémon-related! The typical categories we will pull from are the Pokémon Games, Pokémon Anime, Pokémon Movies, and PokéHeroes. Questions can be about battle statistics, typings, Pokédex entries, shiny Pokémon, you name it! We will always try to keep the questions fair.


Quote from What can I possibly gain from participating in a ChatQuiz?Every ChatQuiz will have one winner, and on a rare occasion, two. The winner will generally get to pick from a list of three or four prizes, ranging from custom art, shiny Pokémon, Legendary Pokémon, or Mega/Mega-powered Pokémon.


Quote from When is the next ChatQuiz?You can see when the next ChatQuiz will be at the top of the thread! If it says "unannounced" at the top, this means that we haven't picked the next date. To see if we've already done one this month, check the latest winner, which will be found in AuroraNightshade's post below this.


Quote from What is the prize for the next ChatQuiz?To see what the next prize will be, check the top of the thread under the Prizes spoiler.


Quote from What can I and can't I do in the ChatQuizzes?You can chat with the other users present about previous questions, but you should not spam the chat. Too much extra talk will make it harder for players to see the questions and for us to see who got them right. You should also AVOID USING BOLDED, UNDERLINED, OR ITALICIZED typeface because this is what I use as the host so that players can easily see questions. Anyone who disobeys these will be disqualified from the ChatQuiz for the month.

You can use Google or other sources to find the answers to the questions, but keep in mind that you will lose valuable time looking the answers up and your best bet is to just give it your best guess, or let other players try to answer. No one knows everything, and there is no shame in getting a question wrong! You can answer more than once, but anyone who spams answers rapidly to try to get it right will not receive the point.


About the Monthly ChatQuiz Thread
Show hidden content
Quote from What can I post here about?You can post here about anything related to the ChatQuiz, including prizes you hope to see in the future, POLITELY-WORDED feedback on how we run things or our questions, and friendly discussion about questions. Please avoid spoiling answers to questions asked because some of them will be reused in future quizzes. The only exception is to, again POLITELY, argue a wrong answer. We are human, too, and make mistakes, so some of the answers might be wrong. If you think we're wrong, feel free to convince us why. However, if we decide to keep an answer the way it is, please don't argue or you could be banned from participating.


Quote from How often can I post here?You can post here as often as you want, as long as it doesn't become spammy, chatty, or off-topic. Do not double-post, either.


Quote from What should I avoid posting here?Like I mentioned before, avoid posting anything off-topic and please do not post answers to questions unless you have a question about them yourself.


Quote from What are the "theme" questions you mentioned at the top of the thread?The "theme" questions are 10 of the questions out of the 25 from every quiz which follow a certain theme, such as "Questions about Fire-types" or "Questions about abilities and stats." These 10 questions will all be focused on fire-types or abilities and stats, if that were the theme for the month. Players will get to vote on five possible themes at the end of every ChatQuiz. The top three most popular ones will be put here and users will vote in the thread. The most popular one at the start of the new month will be the theme.


Quote from Can I suggest questions for future ChatQuizes?We are always looking for more questions to keep the Quizzes diverse and interesting, so please feel free to submit your suggestions to our suggestion box. Make sure to include the answer in your PM! We ask that you don't PalPad us. As much as we enjoy hosting this, neither of us wants to have our PalPads filled with questions.


Quote from Why are you doing this? What do you hope to gain?We don't want to gain anything! We just love Pokémon and Pokémon trivia, and want to have more chances to give people a chance to have fun and come together as a Pokémon community, and to give out prizes! Even when you don't win, ChatQuizes are great ways to have a laugh with your fellow Trainers.




While Aurora and I are happy to give out prizes, neither of us is super rich, so if you want prizes to stay consistently good and valuable, please consider donating. You are by no means required to donate anything. Any Pokémon donated will be put in this box, and any items donated will be marked below, so I know which ones are not actually mine and are prizes. Please keep in mind that not every Pokémon in the donation box is a donation or a possible prize, so do not ask me to put a specific Pokémon up for prizes. (All Prize Pokémon are named "Prize")

Want to spread the word about the Montly ChatQuiz? The more the merrier! We have a hashtag available to spread for reminding users of upcoming ChatQuizes, found below. This hashtag will NOT provide any important information about the thread or Quizzes, however, and should NOT be relied on for updates to the thread or Quizzes. This contest is based around HeroChat and trivia quizzes, NOT hashtags.

I'd like to ask a question :
Are the timings of the ChatQuiz flexible? Like can we do 2 chatquizzes a day where the timings are different? Like you're holding this Quiz at 2:00AM server time when many people cannot be online. Anyone else can hold another chatquiz later in the day so that all the people can take part in the chatquiz :)
Thank you!

@PkmnTrainerV

Thank you so much! These have been added to the prizes box, and we really appreciate the donation! :D

@ImmatureGuy

I'm afraid not. The times we choose are times that Aurora and I are both able to get on. I am a student and work two jobs, and Aurora has a job as well, so getting a time when we can both be on for a long time is not always easy. There will be a new quiz every month, though, so you can always try to get the next one! :)

Pst, I'd like to donate/return the Kyogre I won from the last TMCQ. (Since using it to battle Kyogre for a Sapphire, I can now hatch my own just as planned)
