JANUARY
Actual Pokemon Roleplay lived long into January, and was when much of its second expansion took place. I created its third expansion on the 26th, and that lived into the next month for the most part. I spent a lot of this month complaining about or trying to win the Fanatic Challenge, which didn't happen until the following month. The shiny Pichu was distributed at Gamestop until Valentine's Day the following month.
FEBRUARY
February marked the end of APR's glory. I also won the Fanatic Challenge on the fourth. On the 21st, the short-lived Eeveelution RP was set up on my Voidstar account. February was when we first found out about Generation V, and when we all anticipated seeing what was behind that Zoroark silhouette. Pokemon Fusion Roleplay was extremely popular at this time, but it was also deleted during this month due to a chain of events that began with an argument with a spammer. The notorious (but fun) WigglyClan attacks took place in February. During this month, I got into Percy Jackson & the Olympians. I also went on a vacation to Florida during winter break. There was a terrible lockdown in school that resulted in everyone staying after way past the time we were supposed to go home.
MARCH
March was when Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Roleplay was born. It was also when the highly anticipated HeartGold and SoulSilver came out. Unlike most Marches, this year's was surprisingly warm, and lacked any snow or slush. I finally was able to paint my Uni, Trogeran, Royal on Neopets. I picked up my Gamestop Jirachi in March. My computer 'expired' on the first of this month. I had a minor chorus concert sometime in March. I created a Neopets RP, which must be long gone by now. According to my DS, Pine (my first caught shiny; an Abomasnow) was caught in March, but I could've sworn I caught her in the previous month... maybe the date on the DS was wrong. The shiny Pichu was distributed again over Wi-Fi, but for whatever reason I decided to skip it.
APRIL
PMD was still thriving throughout April. I believe Pokemon Hybrid Roleplay was created sometime this month, but we can't be sure since it was deleted (which I was completely unaware of up until now). The unsuccessful APR IV was launched. We learned that the Generation V games were going to be called Black and White, much to our disappointment. The unsuccessful Pokemon Trainer Roleplay was set up on the 11th, and that was probably deleted as well. April was when I started the PMD fanfiction, which is the longest fanfiction I've written for an RP to date. It also marked the beginning of the short lived PMD Origins. PMD also got its 100th member during April, which we celebrated with a party that has since then been deleted.
MAY
PMD was still our main RP at this time; from May 2nd to the beginning of June, we were on the Temple of Titans plot. The BW starters were revealed on the 12th, which was the day after I started soccer. During this month, I nearly quit the forums because of my grades. Shineland was also set up in May. I was able to get Sapphire and Red Rescue Team on the 8th. I also had quite a close call in May, when Sam revealed my town and full name on Sakimi. I remember a roleplay called 'Explorers of the Heart' or something taking place in this month, where I first RPed as Shift the Zoroark. I had two chorus concerts in May. I'm pretty sure this was also when the Art Forum was introduced.
JUNE
June was when PMD finally ended. The unsuccessful Epilogue was launched. Summer, my favorite season, began at last, and school came to an end for me. The Omicia Project started up in the month of June. June was also when I first got Photoshop. The Jirachi Wi-Fi event started on Michelle's birthday, and went on until mine the following month.
JULY
July started with a bang with the release of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Roleplay: The Next Generation on the 2nd. It remained as our main roleplay for quite some time. July was when everyone on Sakimi had off. We tried to start working on Rising Shadows, though ultimately it was unsuccessful. The first anniversary of the forums took place, and we also saw a slew of new emoticons and avatars.
AUGUST
Leafy opened his Mystery Dungeon RP, The Weather Shards, during August I believe. Otherwise, most RPing took place at TNG, I think. I opened this website in the month of August. I also got my own room, separate from Jo. I caught my first chained shiny, Lightning the Luxray, during this month. I randomly found my shiny Medicham on the GTS for a mere level one Porygon-Z. I created my account on Bulbagarden during this month, to my best belief. Sadly, August marked the end of summer...
SEPTEMBER
September saw the start of a new school year, as well as Broken Vows on the eleventh. Black and White also came out at last in Japan, and I happened to obtain a lovely copy of Black. The Victini event took place, and I got myself two of the Fire/Psychic critters. During September, Sakimi and the forums seemed to be awfully dead. I completed the National Dex at last. I visited Toronto on a vacation, and randomly encountered a shiny Dustox while I was there.
OCTOBER
October marked the beginning of Pokemon Camp Half-Blood, as well as the fifth expansion of APR. October was also when Broken Vows was deleted, and I nearly quit the forums. During the month of October, Guardian Signs was released, as well as The Lost Hero. The Mew event took place in the middle of the month, as did the Heatran event. I finally managed to get my hands on a Phione, putting my Pokedex at 492; only missing Celebi (and technically Deoxys, since the one registered was hacked; though I was unaware of this). October was when the first (and so far, only) field trip of the school year took place, and when celebrity Cody Simpson visited my school. October was also when the Off Topic Discussions were separated from the Off Topic Roleplays. And let's not forget Halloween!
NOVEMBER
November marked APR's first anniversary. I tried to hold a party for it, but it was pretty much unsuccessful. I trained my first Pokemon outside of PMD, my Denchura, to level 100, along with five others. The second TNG thread was launched, right on APR's anniversary. I was thinking about trying out for the school play, but didn't go with it in the end. I had the worst Thanksgiving ever, down in Long Island. Reshiram and Zekrom appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, which I missed out on seeing them in. The Pokemon Smash Kumasyun event took place over Wi-Fi, which wasn't very important but still nice. Pokepark Wii came out, but that's not important because that game is stupid.
DECEMBER
Many new roleplays popped up in the month of December, including the Kirikizan and Ampharos Guilds by me and Shiny respectively, a free-for-all Pokemon roleplay by Dapplestreak, and a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Roleplay by Feathershine. We found out when the shiny beast event, the Celebi event, and the Bark Out Zoroark events would be taking place. And Christmas rolled around again, but of course. I got a shiny Butterfree off the GTS for a Drifblim. The Mystery Egg event took place; mine hatched into a Kibago.
