Single post in The Beginner's Guide to PokéFarm Q

Before we get into it, make sure to take a break if you find any of this information overwhelming. Likewise, please ask questions if you don't understand something. I can't help you unless you ask! :)

[0.0] - What is PokéFarm Q?

To put it simply, PokéFarm Q is the project of Administrators and site owners Niet and Garthic to create a world for us Pokémon lovers (with the help of the Artists, of course). While similar to the Pokémon world that you know and love from the official games, PokéFarm Q approaches things more so from the perspective of a Pokémon Breeder -- that is, breeding to create Eggs, hatching those Eggs, and caring for the Pokémon that hatch from them. PokéFarm Q, which can be shortened to PFQ, is the successor site to the older PokéFarm, or PF1. PFQ is still in its beta state, so updates are slated to occur on a regular basis and new things are being added as time goes on.

[0.1] - Activating Your Account

Have you activated your account yet? If you plan to stick around and continue playing, you'll need to do this. You won't be able to do things like change your Trainer Card message or send trades until you do. If you see error messages saying that your account isn't active, don't panic! Don't make another account either (that's against the rules). Just read this and follow the instructions. In order to check and see if you've activated your account already, just go here. If the page says your account has already been activated, then you're good to go. If this page is asking you for your email and/or date of birth so you can resend the activation email, then you do still need to activate your account. If you opted out of providing a date of birth at account creation, leave the date of birth box alone. Otherwise, go ahead and enter your date of birth. Now enter the email you'd like to have attached to your account. You can change this freely up until the point you successfully activate your account. After that point, it gets locked in as the email you'll use. Now, once you've entered your details, go ahead and confirm it and let the site send you an email. Go check your email for the address you gave, and try to find one from Pokéfarm. The email may take up to 24 hours to arrive and may wind up in your Spam folder, so please do be certain to check there. Due to email filters that schools sometimes impose, school emails may not be able to receive our emails - there's nothing we can do about this. It's on their end. Try using your regular email address such as your Gmail if you run into this issue. Once you've received the email, you'll notice it contains further instructions. Just do what it says, and then you're done. Your account will be activated, and you'll be told as much once you've done it successfully. If you want to change any of your details on file after your account is activated, such as your username, email address, and so on, or if you have issues with activating your account, just head over to our Support Centre and submit a ticket. We'll be with you as soon as possible.
