Cool New Things!

It's actually a pretty smart idea by Winter. The beauty of it is in its simplicity and solution to a tough problem. And before you go saying it's just too cute, check it out!

The Berry Store now offers RSE Contest themed TM bundles for Contest Credits. These bundles are slightly discounted off their full Marketplace price. Once bought, they can be used just like any other TMs.

I don't get it, who got promoted?

 

Yeah, every time we get a new ref the announcements get more and more cryptic.

I tried using the first character of each line to figure out their username, but all I got was """""""""""".

 

The Contests section. Go congratulate it by participating.

 

Cool concept though some of the discounts seem a little low, I mean, people wouldn't even battle on IRC for an extra 500 so idk how much a 500 discount is actually gonna be an incentive

 

Remember that it's also in Contest Credits, which most people either don't find useful (at lower level contests without the ribbons for better Pokémon) or are easier to get (at higher level contests, as the CC rewards increase a lot more than the $ rewards).

If after a while it seems to need tweaking, it shall be tweaked. More bundles may also be added, especially if DPPt Contests became popular (as that would likely require a different set of bundles yet to be determined).
