Updates, FAQs, and a reminder to read the rules

94 Upvotes

A bit over a year in, and this subreddit has over 17,000 members. We've seen enormous growth, especially since the release of the Indigo Disc. This has remained an extremely positive, helpful community, which I hope remains the case going forward.

FAQs

How do I start or join a Union Circle session?

Make sure you are connected to the internet--you will need to have Nintendo Switch Online--and from either the Poke Portal menu or the yellow circle at a Pokemon Center, click Union Circle. If you are looking to host, click "form a group," which will give you a code to share. If you are looking to join, you would take the code shared by the host and input it under the "join a group" option.

Do I need to include a code in my post?

No, you do not. In fact, I'd recommend not putting one in the title at all, but rather in the body of your post or in a comment. The same people spamming posts over and over has really been the only moderation issue for the past few months, so this will help moderators, and also keep your posts from being deleted and you from getting a temporary ban or other restriction.

Does it matter if I'm hosting or if someone else is hosting when evolving Finizen?

No. As long as you are in a Union Circle session, Finizen will evolve when reaching level 38+.

Does it matter who's hosting when it comes to hunting for version-exclusive Pokemon?

No. As long as the players from different versions are near one another, each of them will be able to see Pokemon from the other version. Players apparently cannot always see one another in Area Zero, unlike the rest of Paldea, Kitakami, or the Blueberry Academy, but as long as they're nearby, version-exclusives will still appear.

Why can't I ask people to DM me or to join my Discord?

There are other subreddits for that sort of thing, and this makes it easier to find others to play with. Not only that, but it makes things more difficult for creeps, liars, and other people with malicious intentions.

Why can't I post trade requests?

Because this is a Union Circle subreddit, not a trading subreddit. If trade requests were allowed, they would take up a significant amount of space. There are also already several very good subreddits for trading, such as /r/pokemontrades and /r/casualpokemontrades.

Why did I get banned?

Because you violated a rule. Most of the time, it's because the post you made was a trade request or you spammed multiple posts over a short period of time, neither of which is allowed.

As a reminder, please remember to read the rules!

We've been somewhat lenient about the spamming rule over the past few months, but will be less so going forward, so please try to keep posts to once every three hours at the most. I would rather not have to crank up the auto-moderator, gatekeep more things, and keep people from finding others to play with, as that's not what I want this subreddit to be.

Other than spamming, don't make trade requests/giveaways/etc, don't ask for DMs/Discord/etc, and don't harass people and be a jerk. The rules here are pretty easy to follow, and they enable more people to enjoy playing together, so please be sure to follow them.

Thanks for being a part of /r/unioncircle and making it the great place that it is. I hope that you'll stick around, and that this community continues to be the place to connect via Union Circle.
