RE: Deep and Meaningful...
TPK. I remember finding the website with Nova back in French class 2013. We spent pretty much all hours of the day playing hunting for Rayquaza on the mountain maps, I had always been a mapper and he had always been a battler. My oldest memory of tpk is when I found my first Rayquaza and I loved it. The thrill of finding a legendary Pokemon all on your own, this was before chaterpie was a thing. Shortly after the spark that I had for the game was put out and I was dedicated to my studies and my future and retreated from TPK. Years had passed and I hadn’t touched the site, let alone cross my mind but one day mr and Nova was talking and we were reminiscing about the good old days in which we used to play the game. Later that evening we both logged on to TPK Green server around late 2016, when I tell you we was out of place and felt like we were joining a new game all together I mean it. Chaterpie was a thing! New minigames! And who can forget the new maps, a switch clicked in my head and I fell in love with the game all over again. Mapping became the second most consistent thing I did in my life apart from breathing. We got back in to the swing of things, we made new friends, met some old friends whom we thought we lost through time due to us leaving but no everyone was still there. Months later Blue server was alive and it was a whole new feeling. Reset for me is 6am U.K. time, I woke up at around 5:45 am and stayed awake in an attempt to get a single digit user iD but I was slow , I proudly claimed user iD #12 and I don’t regret it one bit. More and more people were joining and find our way the brand new site, battling our own teams to make money and to level up. Back then Gronks impressive 120k battles a day seemed like something a madman would do... nvm he is insane. Shortly after the release of Blue I took another break, my heart was broken as I was cheated on in a 4 year relationship and I shut the world off. I would spend nights listening to music and reading books but I was never ‘happy’ whilst doing them until one day I was scrolling through my laptop trying to find an online Pokemon game to play; I tried Vortex(meh), I tried Eclipse and Creed (Ew) but amongst them all I was always drawn back to TPK. I logged on to see how far the server had gotten and I was just amazed. The first 1k pokemon was in game! This was motivating for me and helped me gain pace for the game YET AGAIN! This led me to play tpk daily, my daily streak is now 717, it would be higher but at the beginning there was days I forgot but now first thing I do before I get out of bed is claim it before I make the same mistake (too far in now to start again). At this point I had gotten fully in to mining and became more consistent in doing so. I’d watch Netflix and mine in the background, be out for a meal mine in the background and all sorts. TPK had finally became a part of my life again fully. Months after doing so I began to take an interest in maps and how they work so I asked B0sh ‘how do I make one?’ B0sh being B0sh he educated and taught me how, I’d mess up on a tileinfo layer or something he’d laugh it off and tell me where I went wrong. This for me really pushed me to make my first map the best I could ever do. Delphinus Square is born! My first ever map, I had never felt so nervous yet so happy about something online. I was more worried about people hating it but no TPK community loved it and it had pushed me to make more maps (and unreleased ones hopefully soon to arrive). With Raz being MIA as he moved house and Misaka being occasionally busy irI became the resident spirit and soulless spriter, it was hard don’t get me wrong venturing outside my comfort zone but it was damn well fun to do. TPK is ever growing and ever changing and to me that’s one of the coolest things a game can do, you’ll see games similar to tpk but they never get updated and they lose their touch but that’s not the case. Thanks to B0sh, Altios and Jess forever improving our TPK experiences. As the years pass TPK veterans leave and move on with life and new players join but deep down I have a strong feeling TPK will ALWAYS be a part of us as it has brought us all together introducing us to people we never thought we’d meet sure some people can be obnoxious, bitter and spiteful and some can be sweet, caring and generous but at the end of the day they are who they are. Who are they? They’re our friends. The Pokemon Kingdom will always have a place in my heart and the friends I’ve made and come to love will always have a ear with me if they ever want to talk regardless of how stupid or idiotic it is :p. TPK is going to miss you Flatter. You will always have a place in the community and you will always be loved. I hope whatever you do in life you succeed in it and it makes you happy, please don’t forget us but most importantly don’t forget the memories, good or bad. Unconditional love and best wishes from everyone’s favourite Magikarp! ~ Gimbo (not Gumbo) Gimbo not Gumbo

RE: Deep and Meaningful...
My Story.. Explained. Usernames mentioned will be of the time period and that way for Anonyminity.. if you know you know.. if not, you don't. Everyone mentioned has played tpk at some point. Some people have the same names since forever so they're not so anonymous. This post isn't meant to spread drama or rumors. It's Just my story. As long as i can remember i've loved pokemon. My love for pokemon started when i was just a kid. My first ever video game that i genuinely remember was pokemon leaf green. A gift from a hospital worker in my grandfather's ward. I spent countless hours playing it.. dying to the elite 4 so many times to get my pokemon to a high level. I was so new the first time my pokemon got poisoned i almost cried because i thought my game was broken. Turns out it just glitches your screen in a weird way everytime you walk. I remember the first time i beat the elite 4 i was so proud of myself because i thought i was the smartest kid on the planet. I used revives on my golem over and over to beat Gary cuz it knew explosion. I barely scraped by on my last pokemon sacrificing starmie to get the final revive off and use explosion to secure the victory. The little things like that made me fall in love in pokemon. My brains and creative ability helped me propel in something.. finally i wasn't just a nerd. I was good at something. Later on a few years later I was introduced to the internet by my Aunt Pam. It was a long time ago so everything was pretty scuffed.. turning on the internet meant you couldn't use the house phone so my time was pretty limited but I made the most of it. She told me "If you type free ___ into google.com you can basically do anything you can think of." I was a bit skeptical at first, how could this little tv thing be that awesome..? So of course the first thing i did was go to google and typed in "Free Pokemon Game". I clicked the first thing i saw which was tppcrpg.net. It was definitely a different experience than the handheld games but almost instantly i was hooked. I didn't even know about the community aspect at the time, i just thought it was so cool how you could get your pokemon above level 100. Something I was never a fan of.. removed? Wow this game is awesome. I quickly trained my pokemon all to level 300, my favorites being Snorlax and Venusaur at the time. I just loved how easy it was to train to level 100.. but never got my pokemon above level 400 because i was like 10 years old with adhd and limited time on the internet. Time went by and i eventually found out about the Forums.. I never tried the chatroom surprisingly. Not sure why.. it just never occurred to me to try it. I found all sorts of people on there some of them who had been playing almost as long as i had been alive. I thought it was so cool to meet so many people in one place, but yet again i was an 11 year old on the internet so i was extremely immature and didn't know how to carry on genuine conversations with adults. Funnily enough, I found it easier to carry on conversations with people if i pretended to be a girl. They just seemed genuinely more interested in my childish antics if i just said i was a girl.. weird but intriguing. If i check this box that says F instead of M.. people like me more. I've always struggled with self image so this was definitely a confidence boost. I learned you can go on the internet and tell anyone anything and they'll believe you as long as you keep it contained. From doing this i met one of my best friends i've ever known. pokemonxdofdarkness. They currently still play tpk but shall be left unnamed. :) I eventually became more comfortable being a girl online than a guy.. so it just became second nature for me to pretend to be something i wasn't. That quickly evolving from being someone my age to going into xat chat's and chatting with people all over the world while being a girl. Nobody wanted to be friends with the 11 year old boy but everyone loved the [insert age] year old girl. I've learned it was all for nothing but in the end it was definitely a learning experience. A year or so went by and tpk was born.. A guy by the name of Crawn created a game called tpkrpg.net and spammed the tppcrpg forums with the link to the point where if you go there now it's actually censored. It was quite literally a reskin of pokemon creed but i didn't even know that existed so it was a brand new game to me. I had no idea there could even be other pokemon games.. i thought this was as good as it got. It's possible for other games just like this one to exist on the internet? My mind was blown. I quickly registered and saw a few familiar faces from tppc forums.. one of which was the one and only B0sh. I was so in love with this game.. mainly because it had just started and getting on the first page of the ranks was actually possible. On tppc the pages were filled with years and years of grinding. But on this game it wasn't impossible. One of my fondest memories of it is paying my little brother $20 to train my jirachi to level 40 encouraging and watching him do it the whole time.. That's how enamoured i was as a kid. Something that takes roughly 10 minutes of effort i was willing to give my last $20 for. As time went on the game kinda dissolved, Crawn made a contest in the forums that encouraged users to "click ads". Whoever clicked the most ads at the end of the contest would win a pokemon called AncientMachop. The contest never ended because shortly after the launch the game was shut down because that's illegal.. or against the tos with the ad company. I was devastated. My favorite game.. just gone. Wow. I guess that's something that can happen. I resorted to emailing the owner in hopes that this wasn't true.. but in the end it was all just a scheme to get money and passwords to accounts in tppc.   Some time went by and i found out about pokemon creed. I was looking for the new tpkrpg and found one exactly like it so i just assumed this was it. There i met some of my best friends at the time.. Nakayomi, Dualot, Toy Story, ta1nt3ds0ulz, mewtwo1234, XhinZ, Kingwest, Rainbow Dash & Victim. I enjoyed playing the game legitimately.. I never amounted to much in any game because of my limited time on the computer. My time wasn't so limited anymore but it was compared to others who frequented the game. This all changed though when Nakayomi introduced me to macroing. He showed a script and taught me about an extension called "Blank Canvas Script Handler" for google chrome. He taught me that if u just put these simple things into your computer the game will train for you. Yet again.. my mind was blown. How in the world was this guy like a hacker or something..? Is my Aunt gonna kill me when he steals all of our money.. oh well. At least my pokemon will be high level. I saved the script in my email drafts and began using it all the time anytime i could. Teaching kids at school about the game and about macroing. Showing it to my friends, mewtwo1234, Koala Massacre and a few others. We all quickly climbed the ranks with it. Soon i got banned though. After being told the game will not ban me for this i was banned, I never felt so betrayed. My trusting nature and stupidity had gotten me my first ban on a pokemon rpg. A few months later i logged into the chatroom, because back then being banned in game didn't mean being banned in chat.. wild i know. I was begging people to "unban my big brother it's his birthday today and all he wants to be is unbanned :/ " I didn't quite understand the concept of moderators back then so i was quickly flamed by troll-life users. That didn't stop me though, the next day i just made a new account with the username Polar. I started over.. only a few people knew i was the old user and everyone else just assumed i was a noob. I got back into the macroing grind and quickly made it to the first page of the ranks. One of my biggest training rivals at the time was Victim, even though I was cheating he was able to keep up with me level for level.. a true mad lad. My friend at the time Mewtwo1234 got scammed by Dualot (an admin) and that made him grow to hate the game. Which in return kinda made me lose a bit of interest as well.. but i still played because like i mentioned earlier, I've always been in love with pokemon and this was my new fix. Some time went by of just enjoying the game and somehow a user by the name of Razzel managed to trick hostgator into thinking he was the owner of pokemoncreed. He got into the database and come to find out the game stores passwords in plain text. Which means if you can read you can easily find anyone's email, password, the ip address they registered with and the ip address they last logged in with. The hack was actually the biggest in the history of pokemon rpgs at the time and noted as one of the biggest dumps in the history of the internet.  This sparked my interest and I got the list as quick as possible. At the time i had to use the computer at the library so I wasn't too active but i did my best to be. I still remember my library card number from back then. 2 3026 00449 6087. I got into a lot of accounts and spread the pokemon accross the game because i thought it wasn't fair that people who will probably never login again have all this stuff. I wasn't considering the people i was taking things from just the people that actually played the game and talked actively. This got me in a lot of trouble with the game but i didn't stop. I soon became obsessed with hacking accounts to the point that I would make an account, get everything into it and get banned. Just to do it again the next day. I wanted to give out as many inactive pokemon as possible before it was too late. Which in my mind was coming eventually because i was just in a rush.. but honestly you can still use that list to get into accounts now. Over time i lost interest in pokemoncreed because all of my friends quit. Come to find out they went to a new but old game.. tpkrpg!?! B0sh had begun development of his own version of tpkrpg. One of my favorite games and it's being ran by a friend of mine. Even though the game was completely different now i still had the feeling of nostalgia just from the name. I didn't realize how the staff of a game of this size could actually maintain the community in a better way than the pokemoncreed so my antics didn't fly all that well here. I used imacros in the school computer at lunch time instead of eating lunch on a daily basis and quickly got banned after some time. I came back a few months later as a new user and reinvented myself as PikaChew. I played the game legitimately and met so many nice people on the game. I became obsessed with collecting pokemon instead of training and the thought of a community was more important to me than becoming the "best" in any way. I just enjoyed playing with my friends and i met a lot of cool people such as Zoopa, GoldenBagon, Nekomata, Lag, Thomas and Isumi. Kora, Zoopa, Jess and I spent a lot of time on xbox together.. I never really felt like i fit in their friend group but i still felt special that I was considered a part of it. Nekomata's sprites were a great addition to the game and it brought the community together. Her artwork was truly amazing, sadly there's very few remnants of it but it was definitely the best of the best in any game at the time, this brought a lot of attention from other communities and soon the tpk that was a cozy place was filled with people from all over. Neko's livestreams of her streaming and doing contests were awesome. She used to do contests where people had to be human shazam's where she'd play a song and whoever pm'd her during that song the title of the song would be awarded a point and at the end of the contest. I never won but i came in a close second everytime. Which i'm sure the winner was cheating or not to this day unless he unironically knows the title of every song in the jurassic park ost which I'm not sure whether to be impressed or not about. She made me one of the cutest avatars at the time and somehow found a way to bypass the .gif feature in the custom avatars and i had one of 4 animated avatars. GoldenBagon, Isumi and Nekomata had the other 3. Over time i got into some legal problems irl and had to quit for like 2 years. April 17th, 2017 at 1:00am i was released from custody. One of the first things i did was login to tpk to see if it was still there. The tpk i used to play was no longer a thing but there was a new server called blue server. The game was pretty much the same but a bit different as well. All of the features were bascially the same but the meta had evolved a ton. I was glad to see some of my closest friends still played such as Jess, Altios, Kora and Light. Throughout all of my troubles they still maintained activity in the game. I was so glad to see them back.. I quickly began playing the game like i did the whole time. I only had access to the game on mobile though so i couldnt do many things properly such as mapping which was one of my favorite things. I remember asking Light to walk my CloudBuneary on the maps for me to evolve it to a Lopunny and he did it without question. Selfless things like this were the reasons i loved tpk. Everyone felt like a friend more than a user. I joined The Kingdom of Salt soon after registering since I was good friends with the owner but soon left afterwards because my friend Kora invited me to another clan her and Light were a part of. Revolution. The clan soon died after a while.. im not sure why but everyone just kinda went their seperate ways. Then a new clan was founded by Light. I don't remember the name but I joined it because he was a good friend of mine at the time. I had to do some things in real life so i had to go afk for a bit again. He quickly lost interest in running the clan and gave ownership to Marc. Soon after Marc was banned for botting, and my clan that i had grown to love was gone again.. I didn't want to join Patriot Place because I didn't know anyone there and I felt like i would be intruding. TKoS also was kinda dying off at the time because the owners had lost interest in playing and i didn't want to ask to join back after leaving because that would have been really dumb of me and I was embarrassed about leaving a clan that still existed to join clans that didn't exist anymore. I was labeled as "a clan hopper" to them and that didn't sit well with me. ♡

RE: Deep and Meaningful...
Soon after being clanless for a while a member by the name of Clessypoo joined. I didn't realize he was the Cless from pkmneclipse but soon over time he proved he was. In the past I had run ins with him only because I had B0sh to develope a bot for his maps and it was undetectable at the time and probably still is. I boasted to him that I could cheat in his game anytime i wanted and that he couldn't do anything about it. That was the extent of our conversations but over time me and him began to become good friends from his activity in tpk. He founded a clan called Shadow Staff and it became a huge meme. The chat was constantly filled by "Wise Words" and "Indeed." I'm not sure why this was so triggering to some people but it was. I didn't think about that.. i just thought about how i finally found a "friend" that seemed as genuinely interested in being my friend as i was his. I went to the hospital almost nightly to use the free wifi there just to talk to him on voice chats and play tpk together. He was my first best friend I ever had coming back to tpk and I genuinely will never forget those moments we shared together. Soon though the ShinyArticuno wtc happened and it became a giant goal of his to win it because the best player at the time, baz was going to win it if we didn't do something about it. We trained and trained day and night but to no avail baz was still able to outdo us. Soon after that he developed a macro to train on tpk which he thought was undetectable. What he doesn't realize is that tpk tracks whether or not you click the button or not so if you're macroing then it's blatantly obvious. I wasn't too on board with the whole macroing idea but he convinced me of it, and my trusting nature was easily convinced into it. I did it for a whole day and eventually became scared of the idea because tpk was so important to me and i didnt want to be banned again. He hacked into my account and pretended to be me in chat and also macroed on my account since i was in the lead from macroing prior. Sending me screenshots of him pretending to be me in chat and laughing about it. Come to find out he hacked into the Admin's account and banned me with the reason "Wise Words." This sparked a lot of drama and soon led to the owner of tpk just straight up giving him room admin of the game because he couldn't contain the problem at hand and it wasn't worth it to him. Shadow Staff had prevailed.. but at what cost. I had assisted in ruining the community i had worked so strongly to be a part of. Just for the sake of being friends with someone I had only just began to meet. I felt so bad but I still had my friends right. Everything was ok. We gained a dog along the way, Fido, and soon my friend Light and I became closer than ever because of the community we had built. There were 4 of us at first, Cless, Light and Fido.. soon after we convinced Kora to join us. The five of us could do anything. Cless tried to maintain a professional attitude but couldn't all of the time which also led to a lot of drama. The entire clan that was founded on drama only caused drama.. who would've guessed. Soon after Kora was promoted to admin and in my opinion the power kinda went to her head. I was talking in chat one day and a new player was interested in trading his charmander for a pikachu. I quickly was interested in trading him because trading was one of the best parts of the game to me and still is. My friend of almost 10 years quickly turned on me over the simplest thing banning me for 200 years after we got into an arguement in the chat about whether or not this was a "scam" and I was so lost and alone. I felt so betrayed and just.. heartbroken. Instead of hanging out with me all of the time Cless spent all of his time with Kora and then Kora soon after started hating me. After I did everything for them.. they just.. forgot about me. I didn't know what to do.. I was so hurt. I lost interest in tpk soon there after. Changing my username to random letters as well as my password. But luckily for me there was a global account feature so i could login with my old password anyways. :) I started doing things with my friends irl and ended up getting into some trouble irl again and that was like my reality check that I need to stop doing so many dumb things in life just because i'm not happy. These things make me happy temporarily but at what cost.. my freedom and my sanity. I managed to login to the game while chat banned everyday still. I couldn't see the chat but i just wanted to get to 365 days in daily gift. I said once i get to 365 I'll probably just never login again. But even after logging in for 365 days I couldn't stop myself from continuing to login because tpk had always meant so much to me. Eventually they unbanned me for "good behavior". The game wasn't the same though.. My best friend Light had quit because he was a chat mod at the time and I guess was just sick of dealing with the drama. So i just continued to login to get daily gift and then logout. A few months went by and they lost total interest in running the game and ended up giving root admin back to B0sh. He started developing features again and had seemingly forgot about all the bad things i did and all of the things he said about me. It seemed like I had my chance at a redemption arc so i took it and ran with it. Getting back into the guild which was now called Ascension. Meeting lots of their friends and becoming great friends with everyone there. Playing games outside of tpk with them and just genuinely enjoying the company of like-minded people was so amazing. I finally felt like i belonged even though i had ruined their game at one point they were so welcoming and I just really enjoyed hanging out with them. I wanted ot help out in any way i could. Soon becoming an artist for the game and eventually a chat mod and then an in game moderator. I was trying so so hard to redeem myself. But the community i once knew was becoming foreign to me because all of the people that i had grown to know and love had just quit over time. I lost motivation after becoming a mod because my efforts seemed futile. No matter how hard i tried to get people to follow the rules and have some sort of community again the game itself was just never going to be what it once was. The game itself began sacrificing integrity for activity and eventually I was demoted for "not knowing how to seperate personal issues from being a moderator of a game". Which thinking back now was pretty accurate but my intentions were only pure. Constantly I see what I did happening on a daily basis with the new elitist clan in order. But I guess that's just what tpk is nowadays. People come and people go. If you stick around you do, if you don't you don't. After 1,200 days of activity I soon lost complete interest in tpk and honestly forgot to login to collect my daily gift one day. I had gotten Light to login for a long time to where his streak is now and I just up and forgot about my streak entirely.. I was just done. I tried my best and failed. I lost all motivation for even logging in. I lost all motivation for everything in life and I need to figure out how to get motivation again. TPK Just isn't it. It was a wonderful part of my past but I don't plan on making it a part of my future. Things could change to the point where I will again one day but it's unlikely. The people in tpk have caused me a lot of pain and eventually over time instead of loving myself I've started hating myself again and I need to figure out how to go back to being the old me. I'll never forget anyone here.. know that. If we ever spoke, I'll always remember you. I've chosen to give my pokemon to Toe. Toe you're an amazing person and I see a lot of myself in you. You just want somewhere to belong and I feel like you deserve the pokemon more than anyone else because even after the ridicule you've received you still stick around for the sense of community that is extremely wonderful when dealt with properly. You'll always be my uwu buddy and I'll never forget you. <3 uwu I've chosen to hang on to a couple pokemon for the following reasons: Pyukuwuku - The sprite itself represents one of the most amazing parts of my life to this point and I'll forever hold onto this pokemon because of it. Epiphany - A gift from BIGIO.. your naturally kind and genuine nature made people dislike you but all you wanted to do was give people free things, I'll never understand how such hatred developed from a once and loving place but I'll always remember you buddy and thank you for being yourself. Love - ♡ Emotion - One of my favorite pokemon to exist. Me and Light were both shiny hunting in the event map and he found the pokemon I wanted and I found the one he wanted.. but he was kind enough to trade me it. I love this pokemon and it's just such a heartfelt gift. Devotion - A representation of my perseverance in the face of despair. I logged in for 365 days to see that I was banned for 200 years.. But i still did it anyways because I loved tpk so much. Redemption - Something I tried for so long to get with no success was given to me as a gift. I know you didn't mean what you did and time heals all wounds, always remember that. You're a genuine person when you try to be.. just choose your friends wisely. I wish you nothing but the best out of life. ID: #2 - A gift from Altios himself. His starter and he was kind enough to bestow it upon me. Pidgey - A representation of the misery i put myself through just for being someone's friend. Never doubt my love because I would do anything for the people i love. ShinyHo-Oh - A Gift from Altios, I lost motivation for the Christmas Event i worked so hard to plan but he gave me the reward from his account. <3 Events - Events show some of the times I've spent on tpk and will forever hold memories to me. If you made it this far, thank you for reading and I wish you nothing but the best. I probably will come back every now and then to see how things are going but I'll never be as active as i once was. I love everyone that I've ever shared a memory with and I'll never forget any of you. <3 ♡

RE: Deep and Meaningful...
I originally joined with a group of friends. We'd stay up all night playing, grinding WTC etc. When i first started what got me hooked was honestly the competition for WTC. What really ended up making me stay though was the community. I remember hanging out mIRC all night w people, and eventually making groups and venturing off into playing other games with them. It was always somewhere that I could go to relax after work or whatever was going on at the time, and even if it wasn't on TPK itself, the people were still there.
