Here at the Orange Islands, we like to mix things up a bit from the experience you get in the normal games. Without the restrictions of programming and fair play and morality, you'd be surprised how easy it is to dish out all sort of fun things!

[link=1, promo]Promos[/link]

A lot of these fun things are found in the form of promo giveaways. While many of the promos are just normal Pokémon (sometimes with a special move or two), many have their colors, personalities, or properties altered. See the table below for details:

Special Promo Pokémon

:eeveea:
24 Hour Promo: April Fools '09
24 Hour Promo: 3rd Anniversary
The Albino coloring was genetically added to several litters of Eevee during lab tests. Despite the strange coloration, no other differences have been observed, as Albino Eevee give birth to normal-colored Eevee and can evolve normally.

[link=1, icon]Achievement Icons[/link]

Another cool thing wee've implemented is cool system for making overall progress called Achievement Icons. You earn these icons as you accomplish various things inside and outside of the RPG. A full list of currently available icons is listed below (we're always adding more!):

Achievement Icons
IconHow To Earn
:orangetrophy: :kantotrophy: :johtotrophy:
:hoenntrophy: :sinnohtrophy: :zeralistrophy:
Defeat the E4 and Champion in the region depicted on the trophy.
:auroraicon: Become a member of Team Aurora.
:eclipseicon: Become a member of Team Eclipse.
:twilighticon: Become a member of Team Twilight.
:sunriseicon: Become a member of Team Sunrise.
:modmist: Become an RPG Moderator.
:ishmadalparticipant: :ishmadalfinalfour: :ishmadalfinalist: Participated in the Tournament of Ishmadal (ribbon size indicates placing).
:agitsblue: :agitsgreen: :agitsred: :agitsyellow: :agitstarroco: Participated in the A Glitch in the System event.

:toulavsparkle1: :toulavsparkle2: :toulavsparkle3: Admins' Choice (detailed below).

The three badges at the bottom are known as the Admins' Choice Icons. Once a month, an administrator will choose one lucky member to give their icon to. Once you have the icon, you keep it permanently (unless you really manage to screw up), so it's really quite an honor. Only one icon is given out a month, and only one administrator gives out their icon each month, so they're by far the most difficult icon to earn!
