Idk how hard this hunt was, but some people struggled with Q1, considering Meicoo took more than 10 minutes to finish. The character of the day in Q1 is Silver, in a Pokemon Chronicles episode. The Pokemon he keeps outside his Poke Ball is Chikorita.
Now, some people argued with Q1 of the first hunt; I'm not really sure how it works so I'll just leave that to them.
Grats to all the winners and thanks everyone for coming!
Thanks to Painter Espeon and ashiemore for qcing and thanks to lotiasite for hosting his first official!!
Also it's cool to be the last official of the month :3 Hope all of you have a great October (even if its already October for me) and happy scavenging!!
