SPLI’s 30+ Person Funfest Mission Details

Entralink in Pokemon B2/W2

At our upcoming First Anniversary/Pokemon Gen 5 Send-Off Party, StreetPass Long Island is going to be hosting Funfest Missions for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 throughout the day.  Our goal is to obtain one of the hardest achievements in the game, having 30 People in one Funfest Mission!  With over 50 people RSVP’ing yes to our event, we are finally going to get this Medal!  All we have to do is coordinate a little bit.  Just follow these simple instructions, brought to you by some jolly good blokes in the UK who pulled off this feat back in May:

…there is a Medal system in the game which essentially [is] a list of tasks to complete within the game. There are however, 2 problem medals which are to have 30 people in one Funfest Mission (These are minigames, you can learn more about them here: http://www.serebii.net/black2white2/fun … sion.shtml) and to earn 1,000 points in a Funfest mission. These are both impossible without a decent amount of people to play with.

What you’ll need:

1. One of the following: A Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL, 3DS or 3DS XL.
2. A copy of either Pokémon Black 2 or White 2.
3. Have the C-Gear turned on.
4. The “Find Lost Items!” Funfest mission. To unlock this you will need to have completed the “Collect Berries!” Funfest mission.
5. Preferably have Level 3 of the “Find Lost Items!” Mission unlocked. You can do this my completing Level 1 and 2.
6. Have access to Driftveil City (The city with the 5th badge that is next to the Pokémon World Tournament.)

How to play in the event:

1. Go to Driftveil City and take one step onto the Driftveil Drawbridge (From the Driftveil side, not the Nimbasa City side).
2. On the C-Gear, select “Wireless” and then “Extralink”.
3. Talk to the “Entree” (The thing in the middle) and then select “Accept a Funfest Mission”.
4. Choose “Find Lost Items!” and select “Level 3” (Move the D-Pad right with the mission hilighted to do this). If the mission isn’t there, select “Collect Berries!” and play through that, this should unlock it. Then you should complete “Level 1” and “Level 2”. (Don’t worry if you are having trouble, this method will explain how to do VERY well).
5. When the mission starts (On any level) make your way across the Driftveil Drawbridge and collect all of the items you see (These are the shiny things) and head east to Route 5.
6. Collect the items on Route 5 and don’t bother with the ones in the grass, time is too precious for backtracking or random battles.
7. Enter Nimbasa City and make your way along the top collecting items as you go and then down and right into the Ferris Wheel area.
8. Make your way around the Ferris Wheel area collecting items as you go.
9. Exit the Ferris Wheel area and make your way South into Join Avenue.
10. Make your way through Join Avenue onto Route 4 collecting items as you go.
11. Collect items on Route 4 whilst making your way south. DO NOT LET THE TRAINER SEE YOU, this will waste precious time. To avoid the trainer that battles you every time that you are on Route 4, stay on the left most side.
12. Enter Castelia City and collect the items surrounding the fountain.
13. Take the right most path and collect the items until you get to the next screen.
14. Finally, make your way left and collect the items you see here. This is the point at which the time should run out.

If we all follow these guidelines, it should be easy to get the 30 Person Funfest Medal!  We’ll see you at Empire Gaming in Farmingdale, NY on August 18th!  Registration for the PVGC Doubles Tournament will start at 11AM, with the Tournament starting at 12PM.  But the Funfest Missions will be going on all day!

In addition, we also plan to play some other multiplayer games, such as Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Luigi’s Mansion 2, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, Tetris Axis, and others!  Got any suggestions?  Or will we be too busy funfesting??

Don’t forget, in addition to Funfest Missions, and the PVGC Doubles Tournament, we will also be hosting a Pokemon Cosplay Contest and a Pokemon Plushie Contest!  This event is going to be HUGE, so be sure to attend!  😀

What You Missed: Christmas in July Party!

This event recap originally appeared on The Glux Blog.

OK, OK I know it’s August. But last week it was July, and in the Japanese ACNL town of Wasabi, Mayor Neko was busy hosting a Christmas in July Party!

To make the town as festive as possible despite the heat wave, Mayor Neko went to work decorating Wasabi the old fashioned way. First she assembled her Santa suit, complete with Santa beard and boots! Then Mayor Neko spent an afternoon placing custom snow pattern tiles all over the town, to fake the appearance of snow. It was still obviously summer, but much more festive looking!

For those who want to copy this snow pattern, you can find the QR code for the pattern here!

Mayor Neko recruited Mayor JDubz to help with the wrapping of presents and dropping them all over the Gate area for the guests of the party! Many of the gifts were either festive themed or Nintendo themed!

In addition to the presents and the snow, a custom designed photo cutout standee was set up to be a Santa Photo-Op! Here are the QR codes if you want to have Santa in your town…

Finally the time had come, and lots of friends came by to celebrate! Thanks to everyone who joined in and participated! Below you will find a photolog of the guests and fun stuff we did. 🙂

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN JULY!!!

What You Missed: Super Awesome ACNL Garden Party!

Last weekend, on June 23rd, StreetPass Long Island hosted the Super Awesome ACNL Garden Party at the Clark Botanic Gardens in Albertson, NY.  We had an intimate gathering of enthusiastic Animal Crossing fans who came to tour Long Island’s botanical gardens and play Animal Crossing New Leaf via local wireless!

1013381_677056672311677_718577183_n
We walked around the gardens, found plenty of Public Works (“OMG a lamp post!” lol), saw some real-life tadpoles, and found inspiration for creating our own floral arrangements in our Animal Crossing towns!  After the tour, we settled into the picnic area to play some local wireless.  StreetPass Long Island handed out fan-made (created by SPLI Co-Founder, Debbie!) “Hybrid Flower Guides”, which included gardening tips, a flower checklist, and a color matchup chart for spawning hybrids in-game.

For the local wireless portion of the event, SPLI attendees were treated to free flower seeds, tree saplings and shrub starters for their Animal Crossing New Leaf games (provided by Debbie’s Japanese Animal Crossing New Leaf town, which she has been playing since January – no cheating, time traveling or hacking here!).  There was also an in-game scavenger hunt for Nintendo themed items and silver tools!  At the end we also had in-game prizes for the player with the highest HRA score (awarded the StreetPass prize pack, including ice cream cones and balloons!) and the player who had the most fossils donated to their town’s Museum (awarded the Silver Tool starter pack, including a silver net, rod, shovel and slingshot!).

We hope everyone had a great time at the Super Awesome ACNL Garden Party!  Let’s do this again soon!
