Adopts and Customs are both created by staff members. To get notified when Adopts are created OR Customs are open for certain staff members, head over to #reaction rolls and add the @customs for paid customs, @free-customs for free customs, @adopts for prompt adopts, @paid-adopts for paid adopts, and @giveaways for free adopts!
Staff are allowed to create 'randomized' or 'unrandomized' adopts up to their own descretion. Adopts are unique and we try to give a wide variety of pokemon species to the public, regardless of general opinion on classic 'quadruped cat/dog' species.
There are many ways to get Pokemon designs in the ARPG besides collecting Pokedex Entries and making MYOs with them.
Staff Adopts - Posted at random times throughout the months and during specified events
Customs - Staff are allowed to open up free and paid-form customs. These designs automatically get added into the masterlist when you commission a staff to complete one of these requests
The Pound - This function is an 'adoption center' of sorts that you can go to and adopt a pokemon that is available! See The Pound guide for more information.
Flash-MYOs - We actively do mini-events for smaller holidays or occasions throughout the year. Flash-MYOs are free-to-enter and create a design based around the mini-events rules. Many of these mini-events require you to fuse a certain amount of pokemon together, make a type-swap of a pokemon based on one typing, make a pokemon based around a theme, etc.
Breedings and Self Breeds - See the Daycare Guide and Selfbreed Guide for more info.
