FOURTH ANNUAL SMOGON WI-FI SECRET SANTA GIVEAWAY!
You get a present, you get a present, everyone gets a present. This giveaway is a simple one: give a perfect gift and receive your Secret Santa gift
THE RULES:
From today until the 14th of December (10 days from now), you sign up in this thread by filling out the survey below. Note the last four questions, as they are the most important!
After signups close, you have until the 25th to get a Pokémon for your Secret Santa Recipient! Don't worry, I've got a spreadsheet to track who can give what to whom. Use the surveys for inspiration, or look through old posts in the forum! I'm sure they'll love any gift that has thought put into it, though.
Please keep me updated on the status of gifts. If you can't manage to get something in time, let me know ASAP so I can find a substitute Santa.
If there is no substitute Secret Santa, I will be your Secret Santa
Note: if 20 people signed up, and 18 of them wants SWSH, and the other two do not have a Switch, the other two will have pre-determined pairing
When Christmas arrives, the pairings will be announced! After that, you'll have a week to organize getting and receiving gifts from your various Santas. This is the best part of it all, so make it count!
As always, in addition to the gifts received from your Secret Santas, I've also put up a participation gift for both Generation 7 and 8; all participants will get both if they can, bred and hatched by yours truly
