Please note poncho pals aren't a 'closed species' in the traditional sense, they're just some silly little creatures i enjoy making. They dont have much of a body, so i call them poncho pals for my own fun. I don't own the concept of making minimalist spooky adopts. With that being said, if you want to create your own Poncho Pal and have it recognized by us, the group of Poncho Pals, you must purchase or earn the right to make your own or get a custom.
important note 1; this species is not related to, nor inspired by, sleepygrim's poncho pals. until 10/13/2017 i was not even aware of the species. both name and concept are highly coincidental, poncho pals was simply a name i gave my guys when talking about them irl to my boyfriend. however, my idea didn't come out of thin air; i was inspired by poetickitten of da to create minimalist shadow creatures, and my Poncho Pals reflect that.
important note 2; sleepygrim is fully aware of my species' existence and has given her full and complete consent and support of me continuing my own version of the species including the name.
General Information wrote:How to get a Poncho Pal?
You can obtain a Poncho Pal by getting them through adopts made my myself or the artists! there are also other ways like through gacha events, events in general, breeding, myos, etc!What are the rarities?
Not much is known about the 'rarities' of the Poncho Pals' traits, as most are very unique in all their own ways! However, it's rumored that after a certain number are released, they'll all be checked for rarities....
Who knows? You might find yourself in possession of a rare Poncho Pal?What is an HM?
An HM stands for Honorable Mention --- it means that your form stood out so much to me that I thought you deserved a little something extra! An HM is used as alternate currency in the Empoerium --- you can use it to buy breeding items, MYO tickets, and possibly a custom!
