07/11/2009 - A big event has changed Club Pikachu today. It got locked, and unstickied by Flame Dragon due to spam in this club. After much debate, this thread was finally unlocked. To prevent this event from happening again, a 'Rules' section has been added. I hope this does not happen again. Thank you for your co-operation.

01/11/2009 - Thanks to the help of Belail and most of the Club Pikachu members, we now have our own official club RP! The link is: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/thread-164637.html. The RP will not be based on Pokemon, but instead will have a horror/action theme into it. I hope you all will join our new and great RP. Please note that only club members can join our club-exclusive RP. Thank you and have a good day!

28/10/2009 - Thanks to the great success and fun of this week's 'Power Abuse Tuesday', we now have an official section to show which days have which events and activities. So far, our members have suggested one new day excluding Tuesday. If anyone would like to suggest an event for this club, you may freely do so my PMing me or posting in this club. Thank you and have a good day!

Official Club Rules

This has been implemented onto the first post not because I just remembered to, but I do not want this club to be locked and unstickied again. Please follow all these rules carefully. Failing to do so will result in warnings to be given out.

All YCM Rules AND YCM Clubs/Organizations Rules apply

1. Warnings:

-Warnings can be given by Pikachu or Co-Leaders when appropriate.
-Continuous spamming/flaming of any sort will result you to be suspended from this club for a certain amount of time. If continued, a permanent ban from this club will be given.
-It is recommended that one warning is given at a time.

2. Discussions:

-Topics are only allowed to be changed by Pikachu, and Co-Leaders. Members at Raichu rank or below and give suggestions to the Co-Leaders for a topic change. This rule does not apply if you're making a Pokemon-related topic.
-Mild topic changes (eg. from Computer Specs to Computer Viruses) can be accepted and will not count as a topic change.
-Discussions on Pokemon, forum events and club-related issues do not count as a topic change and any member can bring that up. However, if you change the topic to something else again (eg. Cheeseburgers to Forum Awards to Favorite Country), it will be counted as a topic change.
-Members who try to change the topic, whether intentional or not, and are below the Raichu rank get a warning depending on the situation.
-Even though any topic can be made, please make sure that topics are appropriate for everyone to discuss.
-Topics can only be changed TWICE per day.

3. Spamming/Flaming:

-If you still don't get it, spamming is when two members or more keep on positing after one another OR when a member constantly replies to everyone. Flaming is when one member constantly argues with someone.
-Trolling will also be tolerated.
-If you REALLY want to chat, take it on PM or on Messenger.
-If caught on this thread, Co-leaders and I can warn you.
-Moderators are only brought in when this has gone too far.

4. Activities:

-Contests in this club can be hosted by any Co-leader with my permission. they must, however, use aligned center font and display the current active Club Pikachu banner onto the first post.
-Club activities within this club can be started anytime, as long as all the events are equally participated.
-The Pikachu Days of the Week can also be started anytime, as long as spam is kept to the minimum.

5. Newcomers:

-If a member joins and is above 5 stars, it is an auto-accept. However, if you are 4 stars or below, you still have the chance of being accepted by being reviewed by Pikachu and the Co-Leaders.
-If a member of any star level has two denies from the Co-Leaders, then it is an auto-deny.
-If a member hasn't been active since their joining, then chances are you will be cleaned off the active member list and you will have to reapply.

6. Post Content:

-Posts must be at a good length in order to consider it to be a 'good post'.
-Pictures above PG-13 are not acceptable in this thread. Any pictures that discriminate Pokemon are not allowed either.

Club Pikachu FAQ (Click to View)

Club Pikachu FAQ:

Welcome to Dr. Pikachu's FAQ section. Here shall be home to the most frequently asked questions, asked by noobs or newcomers to this club. Also for those who are just bored too.

Q: Why did you make this club?

A: Well, I made this club because my dad encouraged me to be a better member in YCM. He got rather interested about this forum and wanted me to be a better member. I first made this club with a rep to all new members. This easily attracted 15 members.

Q: Why did this club get stickied?

A: The main reason is because of the large amount of members and, at that time, had a few member-recruiting contests and easily got a handful. Soon, with about 60 members, Tkill93 approved this club and it became stickied until now.

Q: What do we talk about here?

A: Anything that has to do Pokemon and, even better, Pikachu. This is a Pokemon Club by the way. We also sometimes post some funny pictures, usually found by various members. We also hav a few discussions on other topics too.

Q: Do you think this club would be inactive?

A: Recently, I had thought about that. I think a few activities would get the club up and running again like the old times. I once left for 2 months, but then I came back. That shows that this club still stays strong.

Q: I remember there was once a remake. Where is it now?

A: It is now locked. It was made because I left for 2 months, but then I came back. If you want to see the posts made in the remake, you can check the posts in this thread. The posts are from post no. 5237 to post no. 6072. Thanks to Frunk for merging the threads.

Q: Why are you typing all this?

A: Because I want to, it's for teh lulz.

History of Club Pikachu (Click to View)

History of Club Pikachu:

The News and Announcements Sections that we previously had sadly collapsed due to word count, so here it goes:

The club was first thought of in a summers day when my dad said to me 'Going on the internet with nothing is pretty dull. Why don't you make your own club?'. I agreed and began the quest. At first, I had no idea what I should name my club, but with the delightful username of 'God Pikachu', I decided to name it 'Club Pikachu'. As my father sat next to me, he said I needed some prize or special offer to attract people. Simple: Reps. I posted this thread and it all began.

The first member here was Legend Zero (used to be Minatocloud). He joined and filled out the form, and I was delighted to have my first member. As I slept and woke up next morning, I was shocked to see 15 members already in one evening. I was quite surprised. I gave them the reps then removed the offer due to such an inconvenience.

After the first 15 members, some members were impressed with my club and started joining. Within a week, we had over 30 members. I then applied to the Important Clubs thread, but it wasn't 1 month old yet, and not ready to go up. As the days passed, I left to Hong Kong with 50 members in my club. I then reapplied and delightfully: it got stickied. I was so happy at that time.

I also started Club Pikachu's first ever quiz. It was a great success, with 7 members participating, and it was great fun. The winners were Aximil, *.Willieh.*, Death Metal, monkeybuoy (now Monkey) and God Duelist (now Seta Sojiro), with Tiger not winning. Oh well, at least we had the mini prize.

Soon after, God Duelist (now Seta Sojiro) joined and became a normal member, eventually after my first quiz and card contest, advanced to the Raichu rank. I was soon fond of him I made him the Second Leader. Right now, he is regularly active and proud of this club, as much as I am too. After a few months of inactiveness, he was moved down to 'Former Co-Leaders'.

As I left Hong Kong, we had over 90 members. Larxene, the lucky 100th member, joined this wonderful club and we had a grand total of 100 members. Soon after, legends including Instinct and Slash joined this club. The second quiz was pretty good, now with a wider range of members competing.

Soon, Club Pikachu had votes and various votes from club members, YCM members and even club leaders voting for this club. Soon, this club had won the YCM Awards of November 2008 in the Best Club Category, One of the best moments I had in YCM. And yet, this same story happened this January 2009.

Sadly once, I left YCM for two moths. Due to the popularity of this club, Skuldur decided to make a remake of this club. It was quite successful, but not as successful as this club itself. Soon, I came back after finishing my end of year exams. When I came back, Frunk joined. I am honored to have a moderator to join our club. Not just that, but he even helped merge the remake and this thread together, adding an extra 900 posts!

After a few weeks of reopening, Draco Straybyrn (who apparently is on my MSN) kindly offered his help to make another club banner for our club. I happily said 'yes' and in half an hour, he made the second official Club Pikachu banner. Soon later, we had a quick quiz to guess who made the banner and, to my surprise, no one got it right. In fact, they were surprised he made it. Soon after, three members joined our club, making Club Pikachu having 201 members. The lucky 200th member is E-hero shine blademaster.

After much consideration, I had decided to remove members that were not active in this club. The amount of members dramatically decreased to 140, compared to the former 240 members we once had. New rules were posted, and the club got a bit better from the change. Just a month after this change, I had made a new forum exclusive to our club. This was due to high demand by our members. But now with a forum, we grow stronger by the minute.

And now, it's still an excellent club. I am impressed of how much support I have, winning 2 awards in a row, keeping this stickied and active, and even from other clubs and organizations, and I wish this club to be the greatest of them all. Thank you, YCM and members, for making this club one of the best in YCM.

Events and Activites (Click to View)

Club Events and Activities:

Quizzes:

Info: Once a month, we shall have a quiz and the winners will get to go to the next level. Reps and points may also be rewarded if necessary. The quiz shall be all about Pokemon (unless requested) and will consist of 10 questions. The questions will also be harder if you're more advanced in level. So if you're a Raichu Rank member, chances are your questions will be harder than a Pichu Rank member. Quizzes will be delivered via PM.

Event Status: N/A

Card Contests:

Info: If we have time, Club Pikachu will send one or two members and make a Club Pikachu card contest. The winner will not just get reps, but will also be able to advance a rank. The card contests will be mainly be related to Pokemon or a chosen topic.

Event Status: N/A

Club Mascots:

Info: Once a year (or maybe, once a season) we will have 5 polls on the 5 Pokemon Contest categories (Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty and Cool) to vote for Club Pikachu's mascots. These mascots will then be featured and put into a beautiful banner with the year (eg. Club Pikachu mascots 2009) and be honored in our Hall of Fame section (under construction).

Event Status: Finished (awaiting banner)

Club Pikachu Fun Question:

Info: When the club gets a bit boring or something special has happened recently, I or one of my selected members will ask a question to the whole club. the person that answers it correctly get's a rep! But, you only have three chances to guess the answer to increase the difficulty.

Event Status: Finished

Pikachu Days of the Week (Click to View)

Pikachu Days of the Week:

Due to be actively popular 'Power Abuse Tuesday', we now have a new section for events specifically for each day of week. If you would like to suggest a day with an event for that day, you may either PM me your suggestion or just post it here. Only members of this club may post suggestions in this club, but anyone can PM me a suggestion.

Current Official Days:

Tuesday: Power Abuse Day

The original day that started it all, Power Abuse Tuesday is when the Leader and Co-leaders of this club have fun and abuse their current powers over the members. Although this might seem cruel, members enjoy this activity very much. If Co-Leaders abuse the power too much though, they will have a warning. But that won't happen.

Friday: Leader Abuse Day

During this day, members of this club of any rank (except Co-Leader and Leader) can have their revenge and command the leaders of this club to do whatever they want. A little power for the members during this day is a great way of feeling better.

So far we have 185 MEMBERS!
