I had first discovered Creed at the age of 13 when I was browsing around on Facebook while procrastinating on doing my homework. I forget exactly how I found the FB page, but I think it was through recommended pages. I skimmed through the profile a bit, thought it sounded interesting, and made an account on the site.
Being a young kid, I wasn't allowed to add anyone I didn't know irl on my FB account, so Creed was actually my first experience with random internet strangers and it was really nice getting to talk with people who shared more interests with me since most of my irls didn't care about video games (or at least not most of the ones I was interested in). I ended up making several new friends over the years that I was active on Creed and I had a blast chatting and playing with everyone. There weren't that many toxic or "bad" players that I interacted with either, so I'd say it was a really great first impression.
It was 2014, I believe, when I joined my first RP on the forums and also where I met some of my closest Creed pals. I hadn't actually RPed prior to this, but I was a writer and decided to give it a try since it didn't seem all that different from normal writing. I ended up really enjoying it, and I'd even say it was probably my biggest highlight on the site. There was a pretty closely-knit group of us RPers; BlueLink, Umbreon, Tman, and NessUnderling, just to name a few of them, and I'd say that our RP shenanigans were what made up like 70% at least of the forum activity back in the day, but we all had a blast. I have a lot of fond memories of us staying up until like 3am just RPing about random stuff and even have a few docs saved of some of my favorite RP moments. We all stayed together until the RP community as a whole quit in 2016 and I unfortunately lost contact with most of them from that point so we haven't spoken or anything in quite some time. Despite that though, I still cherish the memories we've made.
Outside of RP, the other thing that I have fond memories of is the old Blab chat that Creed used to have before the Discord server was created. I still have so many screenshots of just hilarious things that happened in that chatroom and used to have so much fun joining and chatting with folks. I like the Discord server, too, but it just doesn't capture the same old feeling of the old chatroom and I kinda miss it sometimes, but that's entirely nostalgia talking.
Regrets-wise, looking back, I honestly think I was REALLY toxic back then and that's a huge regret of mine. I was kind of a controlling jerk at times in my early RP days (but I got better later) and I was also kinda mean to people in the chatroom at times, which resulted in me getting chat bans on multiple occasions. So if I could change one thing, it would be to go back and be nicer to people.

I've been on Creed for almost 10 years now and overall I've enjoyed being here. I started with really no goal in mind and even now really don't have one; all I cared about was having fun. I like collecting my favorite Pokemon and colored Pokemon with cool sprites, but I was definitely more adamant on collecting as many of them as I could and training them up to be high levels back when I first started versus now. I took a break from the site back in 2016 (due to all my friends leaving and activity dropping) and came back in 2019 (due to nostalgia) but don't really do a whole lot on the site anymore, although nowadays that's mainly due to me not having as much time as I used to. Despite that, though, I still do have quite a lot of sentimental attachment to the site, so I don't think I could ever fully quit. As corny as it might sound, this site was a huge part of my childhood and I love this place.

So my journey started on October 30, 2010; my first account was crater freak (7045). I was introduced to this game by MadGod (previous creed spriter) who was my class mate . I started this game because pokemon was all i thought about & i was looking for a good pokemon game . I played a game named ?TRPC something like that but a big NO!!! If anybody ask which games i have played for more than 2 months,I would say Pokemon Creed and GTA ViceCity. Thats the amount of affection i have towards this game.Being a single child when i was introduced into this game i was exposed to a very big part of the world,I made many friends and many enemies. I learned alot ; How people are , How people can be & How people shouldnt be . I miss alot of people & honestly wish they come back & have fun like before , but everyone have their own life to fullfill.The main reason why i got attracted to creed is its sprite itself , such a beautiful creations and still i try to keep all the good sprites. I even have a folder in my old pc with all the sprites so that i can print it & paste it in a book .

If i am not wrong my first promo was L.Dialga from GC during the Christmas for 30k coins .YES ! ! I have seen all the phases of creed. Highest level those days were nobles 200 level C.abs & Marvstas 180 level blissey . I still remember dreams blissey & his clan because that was my first clan , he only allowed clan memebers to train against his blissey . From then the craze for trainig started. Me & madgod used to pay coins in DayCare breeding to level up my spiritomb & his charizard . I have seen the level booster , the tripple & double xp ,changing of baby lugia to golden lugia (hurts the most), coloured tower keys, fishing contest, battleship war, clan war & many more.

Initial stage I used to be a stupid ,arrogant & selfish player. Hence got banned many times due to mine and others deeds. First ban was for account sharing , people miss understood me as madgod and that made a big fuss. I had to send 150+ email over 1 month to get 1 respons from da man.My second big ban was for another account sharing. You people may remember cyprum. He hacked my account took all my stuffs & with zapdos help we found banned him. Later on we became friends & we started to pool in pokemons to an account I made inorder to buy SHADOWMEWTWO(Yes, the main reason for me to hunt a S.Mewtwo is this revenge story). He logged into my account & I got banned for account sharing,that was back in 2011/2012. I rage quit,cursed all mods & left the game.Tried to play many creed copies , become a staff member but meh;the josh that i got from creed is irreplaceable .Creed was a part of my childhood & adolescence, i felt a blank in my life when i took that big break , i used to check creed time to time but the feeling of betrayal made me not to come back. But by 2014/15 i kept aside my ego & unwanted thoughts & started again .By that time 50/50 trades were at its peak. I made alot & lost a big trade having C.Ray, C.Arceus , L.Froslass , L.Palkia , S.Lugia & more good stuffs against type tests L.Gira. Rage quit again and left for 3-4 years.(I decided to collect back all the stuffs i lost that day & currently all that remain is that l.froslass)

I got into medicine college & got busy with my life but i kept checking ones in a month and decided to come back when i finished my final year (2019/20) .I started with an ub G.Ray & made my current box!! I should say this;creed community was both Welcoming & Toxic .But now its purely welcoming because the active players are all 20+ & even in 30's . Well when i came back i again got banned saying i proxied . it was very dark in that ban channel with mods & vanishing messages for 2 months.Thinking about those makes me smile,how long i went. So I did got banned for duping when creed was dead , which was the only thing i think i did from my side , Pleaded scot and after some months he unbanned me . I did changed alot thanks to many people.

I have seen a lot of contests like from Blab , forums to discord , from R.mew2 to l.absol.The biggest win for me was Da Mans art contest were my c.cubone & c.shellder was selected as promo ???? & i got the gfx userbar.Another moment was unlocking the bug catcher userbar; from Da Man himself .Yes i do have a story about l.Absol .L.absol was mathew gawds (mewtwoo2000's , mod poke ) he was a naughty child back .He gave one l.abs to me which is currently in l33t. I sold it for a level 2k G.Ray (the biggest regret i have in my creed life).I have many regrets,like selling g.gira for a r.mewtwo,l.snorunt for c.moltress.

There was this incident were iRazzels hacked every single mods including daman and dualot. Later on i heard he was arrested ,idk if thats a wide spread rumour or truth,but i still believe it is a truth .
I have achieved my main goals in creed within the last 3 years ; train myself a 100k level , got unique pokes.The remaining goal is to get that l.abs back from l33t , get a c.ambipom and get a rainbow ninetales!! Also if at all possible become atleast a chat mod.

I want creed V1 to stay forever. If at all a point comes were creed has to be dropped, i will support the game financially or any way i can,cause like i said ; creed is a part of my life. I even talked with some of my creed friends that when we grew old lets play creed and the then available nintendo game togather ???? .I have alot of memories left to write but writting down 12yrs is a bit too much.

I personally thank dualot for giving an opportunity to express my deepest feeling towards the game.
Thankyou !

Hey,

First came across Pokemon Creed back in March 05, 2011 when I was on my addiction of new pokemon rpgs and happened to stumble on Creed. Initially, I was more of a player who liked to just browse around the website without really talking to anyone. One of my vivid memories is paying a player, whose name i do not remember, to loan a CursedGiratina that was a high level at the time and thought it looked very cool in my party. Funnily enough, the 'high level' of the CursedGiratina was around level ~5.5k compared to now with the current highest level of 240k lol. Another core memory of mine in the early days was hosting a contest for a GoldenLuxray level 2.4k and I ended up trading the GoldenLuxray so I had to delete the contest thread lol. The reason I didn't join the legendary blab chat room was because I was hesitant and shy to talk with other people. I'll talk about that later.

This is the time period where it gets vague and cluttered. These are the years from 2012 to 2014. I remembered taking multiple breaks from the game because of school, extracurriculars, and just not being interested in the game (very honest, i know lol). Some of the main memories was starting to become friends with a lot of my current friends today which consists of Jeffrey0, kray, catcherpro, RichKidDre, DaymienInferno1, nephew34 vickysingh, harmony, monkey, EmoNovember, and more! I had the nickname Dingo given to me by redfire/onionknight at this point. I also was lucky enough to join a clan called Memes which changed to the current name, Billers. I also joined a clan called From the Bottom with a similar group of friends to get XP as much as we can. This was also the time period where I started to train a lot and eventually had a training competition with the big man himself, kray. I remember him and I would host little competitions to train to see who can get 100 levels on their main pokemon the fastest or who currently has the highest level. Eventually, I did take yet another break from the game and when I came back to play again, I noticed Kray's legendary charizard was in the top 10, maybe even top 5 with a level ~50k charizard and I was impressed. It was funny because this was the time period when the Golurk meta was crazy so it was a lone charizard and a lone rayquaza (cough Lee cough) surrounded by poopy rock golems in the top spots.

I then became consistently active around the time Creed REALLY started to slow down but still active enough to be attached to and log in frequently. This was around middle to end of year 2014. At the time, I started become to really be active in the blab chat room and had a signature phrase that I still kinda cringe to to this day which was "Hey everyone! :)" with bold and color yellow or black. I was joking around with Dualot, catcherpro, Jeffrey0 and had a lot of memories. One of my favorite highlights: [you must login to view links] . Eventually, I was active enough and got a chance to become a Trial Chat Moderator on March 8th, 2015. Probably one of my happiest moments and proudest achievements in my entirety of playing Creed. I got to participate in the creed staff arcade and saw my name in the Staff List page. I had a steep learning curve and still learning to this day.

Now, after being promoted to Mod on November 9th 2018 and then to Super Mod to February 27th 2019, after coming back from a 2 years hiatus, and after seeing a lot of familiar faces on discord and new ones, I am glad to be able to be a part of the community and make several, what I would consider, friends. It's been a fun journey and hopefully many more memories, moments, and good times to come. Its been 2 months coming back, a lot of changes and staff plans for the upcoming holidays for Creed and hopefully the rest of the community will enjoy them as well.

Edit because I wanted to add more

My biggest regret would most certainly be between these 3 which is trading base shadow darkrai, trading rainbow arceus hoard, and trading unbase luminous giratina. If i had to choose, i would say base shadow darkrai since playing pokemon go, darkrai is currently (?) uncontested in dark type attackers and its an awesome looking pokemon on Creed. Will I get it back? Who knows but I will definitely try!

Another thing that happened that made me slightly upset and was out of my control is catcherpro quitting the game due to gambling. Personally, I was never a fan of gambling since it sucks to lose so I am happy 5050 trades is removed from the game. Currently, I am still able to have some contact with catcher through LoL but I still miss the times he would hop on blab chat or discord and I crack jokes with him.

I forgot to mention a couple people I've made friends with so I'll list em. Tyizor helped me tremendously on another rpg and gave pointers for drawing. He's always been, what I consider, a down to earth guy. I slightly remember talking with mikehappy and he had priorities in real life and couldn't play anymore. He ended up gifting me a GoldenRayquaza. ThexHuskyxNinja was another person I think I played xbox live with and lost contact with him. 1dogzilla is a funny guy. Played a couple games with him on league and turns out he's a pretty cool guy. Realstate/buzz is also another man who I consider a good friend of mine. Probably one of the richest players in game with A LOT of confidence heh. Hoping he returns to play for a bit considering i know how much presence he has on creed lol.

Now, some drama I've dealt with when I was a staff member varied between hackers, cross traders, macroers/botters, and just simple rule breakers. I wont dive into these things as I dont want to name them but all those things makes me grateful that there are other staff members to help deal with them. Without them, I'm sure Creed would collapse since there arent any rule regulations happening and those individuals would continue to those things publicly. Even when there was a time where the previous Creed owner neglected Creed and made it very difficult to handle bans, the other staff members like zapdos, Dualot, Jeffrey0, catcherpro, Grimreaper, brys18, RichKidDre, Applejack, and now, EliteBOY, makes playing Creed worth it being a staff member. Also, the staff members before me deserved recognition since they contributed to what Creed is now today. Not to mention, the (relatively lol) new owner kray has handled recent rule breaking very well which makes Creed a lot less stress handling bans and freezes. Special thank you's to the other staff members for not only keeping Creed in a controlled state but also being there for discussions about different Creed ideas. Thank you!

Also, I didn't express my thanks for the community of Creed. Without the community, there wouldn't be a reason to play at all. I appreciate the community very much and I can't thank them enough for actively playing Creed. :)

Enough rambling, that'll be my final edit for the contest. If you made it this far, thank you for reading!

I started playing creed on July 26th of 2017 (more than 5 years back) with my brother. he came up with the name don of legends and played it with me for 2-3 months before being bored and leaving. I continued with this account for the next 5 years.
We found it while searching for pokemon games online. Pokemon Unova rpg was our first online rpg game but creed has been the first rpg which i spent years playing.
Well the community wasn't the friendliest when i started playing, it was tough unlike the great community today. I was made fun of with my unique username, people did not like me bcz i used to beg for stuff, got scammed a number of times. Well, won't lie i wasn't the friendliest either when i started, I sucked at english and would even argue with people on a daily basis. I was selfish, rude and arrogant. I had serious problems with Eliteboy, tanmay and bigMac back then. But , I sorted things out with elite and hopefully tanmay within the next few years. Eliteboy even allowed me to stay in his clan(The Elite Squad) and made me a friend. I spent around 4 years in the clan so far and made some great friends there.
Well I used to 50/50 trade a lot ( which was a great thing back then) . It added a lot more excitement and if i am asked, i would completely support bringing it back. i lost a lot, gained a lot and was the best part for me in creed, back then bcz the old chatroom wasn't as fun as the new chat place in discord.
Well, for me, the most memorable moment would be when i gave my first big training job to Big Mac. I really loved getting my pokemons trained back then. It just felt great to have a high levelled pokemon. So i had many training jobs done by people like adil, pg, travis and others i don't remember. i gave my first big one to bigmac(bcz he had the highest levelled poke back then), which was around 1000T but after getting my stuffs he refused to do it so i had a fight with him. I msged Da man for justice and he helped me get stuff from mac( he allowed me to pick anything worth the training price from his box). Thanks for it Da man.
other important moments for me would be when Mac traded his 100k lvl pokemon for downgrades worth around 2-3 mil, WHAT A TRADE!!!
I also got my first rare (c.dratini) from Mac for downgrades, he wanted to get rid of it as he was getting closed to getting banned for other illegal stuff. So yeah, had a lot of history with Big Mac.
Days went by, and i became better at this game, winning towers, getting along with people better... i quitted a number of times but had to come back . I don't have any goal anymore , i just play for contests and promos now.
So, I'll just stick around, and i don't have any plans of quitting permanently anytime soon.

The Introduction: PART 1>

Got to know about creed When i was seraching for pokemon game's to download on pc and found Creed and wanted to see how a RPG Game would be like and made my Entry to creed on December 2012 MID of the year which i dont even remember the account name, but played for few days and was pretty much difficult for me to understand the site and its features and left the game after few days. And got busy with school and stuff. And few months later i wanted to start the game again but i dint know the prev account name so made my new 1st account created on November 29th 2012 "arceusgiratina" and 2nd account "kyurem" as my storage and then started playing the game and slowly understood the features how to get money, coins, pokeballs, how to catch pokemon's. And i used to see many players with lots of color pokes and coins with them and i wanted to get rich like them so used to ask people for help with how to get rich like others and the advice i got was catch pokes from maps do hitdown's and daily's save coins buy pokes and trade them with others Which was really a decent advice but i never did that, dint take the long path to get rich, took the short path to get rich which was a risky road. i started to ask people to buy my map pokes for some coins and some people used to ignore me and then i did HD and getting coins like 500c 1k coins save them till i reach 10k coins and then i used to Gamble them and the most coins i went to was 300k and i used to bid those coins in auction house with a bid amount i liked , cause i never knew their was rates for pokes to bid on auction house. got some color pokes and got crazy with 50/50 trade's and lost all pokes and spent all coins, then started to wonder how to make coins again? Guess what ? here comes the most annoying part i started to ask others for coins to buy my pokes ub mostly that i won from auction and i tried to sell them for the same rate i bid but it never worked, and for a certain time i used to ask few friends for coins and they helped me but used to lose some /win some with them in gambling and i got pissed off when lost and was feeling bad to ask for coins with others and then i got to know about the wishing well pool, that we can get 20- 60 coins max from it. so i used to ask everyone i see online to wish on my well and this i did everyday and people used to get annoyed of me, what can i say i was noob back then for some time.

PART 2>>
But then comes the devil inside me lol , like i said before i took the short cut the risky path to get rich where we lose/win some and mostly depends on luck. But i found out a way to use the wishing well properly but without asking others, so everyday when i used to login to main and storage i used to wish on my each accounts wishing well and only once u were able to do that per day per IP but then i used to save those wishing well coins upto 10k and then i used those coins to gamble and get more coins and save them in one account, i stopped being annoying by without asking others for coins or help. but then i made multiple accounts like 15-20 accounts And then when ever i started gambling on those new account's i used to win lots of coins so that made me more addicted to get more coins for gambling and then slowly i started to use multiple accounts and then one day i just gathered all coins in one account and stopped it. And then came the Blab chat the most best feature i loved in creed i used to see people helping new people and talking to eachother everyday it used to be fun and that changed my mind, i read the rules of the game for the first time and realised what i was doing was really wrong and then i just decided to stop the multiple accounts for gambling and planned to play decent and started playing correctly by obeying the rules and met some awesome people's my first friend was Jack73355 we had this same kinda love for our fav poke DUSKULL'S and he gave me good advices how to play the game and trade pokes and then i slowly became friends in Blab chat with Ninjakill, mikehappy, grimreaper, snorunt, little, kray, epul . And then i started talking to mods my first mod friend was Crixus91 and Zapdos, then slowly started to talk to other cool people and mods like catcherpro, applejack,RichKidDre. but i never had got the attention from jeffery and dualot. i tried to become friends but they were annoyed of me cause i used to annoy people back then to trade for stuff i wanted from them and kept asking untill they really got fed up with me and traded so that was my misktake, But what can i say we all learn from mistake's and then when i really got no reply for a "hi" in blab chat from jeffrey and dualot that used to make feel bad because i wasnt liked and was not getting respect from jeffrey and dualot, it was always no reply and no hi. So i decided myself to change my character and started to be a good player, and then i decided to first get rid of all my others accounts, so one day i pmed a MOD and "Confessed" My mistake of creating multiple account and then i used them for the Gambling and also asked the MOD to really forgive me for the mistake i did and asked all my 15- 20 accounts to be frozen forever and just kept my 2 accounts "arceusgiratina" and "kyurem".
NOTE: Ofc I regret using those multiple accounts for gambling. i will also appologise for that again.

PART 3>>>
But when u really turn to be good guy then comes the real problem , i played the game as per rules and decent and had some cool pokes like 3x c.giratina, s.lugia and some other rares and lots of smalls and 300k coins . one of the player i used to talk in blab and in game, he/she sent me a pm with some link and asked me to check it , i trusted and i clicked on that and boom i get logged out and then couldnt login for few min's and then when i see my box all pokes and coins gone . so then i realised someone hacked my account and so all stuff i had got stolen. Then reported this to mods in blab chat and they gave me advice to not use the same password and account anymore and mods froze my both main and alt account,( this all things happend in 1month time since i came back in nov 2012). But decided just in a month time i started the game, i was able to know the game and with that help from others adivice, i saved coins and pokes i became rich, i also learned things how to be a nice guy , how to talk to others and how to treat others and made me realise and also confessed my mistakes, and changed to be a good player/person. so just because someone hacked my acocunt i have no need to give up on the game. Then i started to play again the next month itself, I Read the RPG game rules again, I spoke with mods in Blab and Created new Account "Lugia warrior" December 28, 2012.
And started play fairly and began to build up my reputation around the game. I never used to have any friends near my house just bunch of kids. so creed and friends in creed was my world of entertainment other than studies, movies and sports.

Later i started making more friends in creed started to help people and new players as i used to see how other players like zapdos, grimreaper, brys18 , mikehappy, Ranstormer , jamesdomingo, and many other's who were and are so good helping players, i was motivated by them. And i started to follow their footsetps and begin to give free training, free shiny's and guide new players help anyone who asked me for help and also helped them to know the gameplay.

My Favorite: My most best thing in game back in 2013 to 2019 was gambling coins and 50/50 trades, made lots of stuff with 50/50 trades used to stay online for 12hrs each day
and used to gamble without sleeping many times . haha sounds crazy but yeah thats what i was doing and having that type of gambling fun made me happy . the
craze for 50/50 trades and gambling was always in the peaks and used to clean people who used to be just as crazy as me in gambling and also i used to get
cleaned many times but never gave up always used to bounce back and make loads.

My best winnings:
PART 1> Gambling: From 40k coins i reached to 600k coins and again same hour i lost all, but then with HD and some pokes i sold and made 8k coins and then gambled same day
and made 850k coins and stopped gambling for that day and thats my first big coins held and it was in 2019.

PART 2>> 50/50 Trades: Just with a bunch of small rated cursed pokes and coins i had, i used to 50/50 trades with small players who used to 50/50 and once i win from them i used
to gather all stuff and buy/trade for big rated pokes and use that to 50/50 with rich players for big rated pokes and made lots of big pokes. once i won
some rares from someone i won g.ray , c.ray r.ray c.giratina,r.hound, c.hound and few mid rated pokes Had them for months but once the
50/50 trades were decided to be removed from game i just decided to do a one last 50/50 trade for the most wanted final rayquaza i needed
"LUMINOUS RAYQUAZA" #Tries > 1st 50/50 trade started with my c.ray ub and g.ray for l.ray base i lost. tries2 r.ray and s.ray for l.ray base i lost.
tries 3 with base c.giratina, g.giratina, level 83k main for l.Dialga ubbase i won. Tries4 l.dialga ub , level 83k and some pokes for l.ray i lost.
then just rage quit that day i guess it was 2020. months of hard work and risks i had won many rare's and special pokes and lost them in 10min. Then just
rage quit the game same day with just my 60k level s.ray, 40k level s.lugia . g.kyurem, g.heatran,g.keldeo in my team and went inactive for a year or 2.

The Big Come Back: 2022 i Came back to the game again with full hopes to get the pokes i wanted back again and since 50/50 trades were long gone it was hard but was not
impossible, started saving stuff, But hadnt quit gambling so that crazy Gambler stayed alive inside me and started gambling again and made 2.4m coins
got stuff from those coins, hoarded few promo's and started doing training jobs and kept saving stuff. the process was slow but was worth it made back with
the pokes i wanted got myself a main and now been doing good.
And also When Da man gave ownership to kray i figured creed will still keep going cause kray do know more about creed he is been before than me. only a
person from Pokemon creed can take care of the Pokemon Creed World and its citizens.
And some of my friends have quit the game, Ofc real life comes first, hope some day they do come back.

ACHIEVEMENTS:Trainer, Hardcore Gambler, Ancient tower master, Infinity Tower master, Elite Tower Completed, Achieved my Fav pokes, 1st person to achieve 14 Mew Ribbons. etc.

Ok lets go way back to the beginning of my Pokemon Creed Journey...
Many years ago i was playing another Pokemon online game for a good few years and i was happy there to an extent i just couldn't get to where i wanted to due to players being there long before i was, anyway my cousin (entei2008)was over 1 day and he found a website called yes you got it pokemon Creed he shouted over to me and told me he had joined and i should too so i did, now you see why his ingame ID# is 1 before mine.

The next day i logged in and chose Charmander as my starter and my journey began so i went onto the forums read the rules and the basic guide to the game that was posted up and started to train my Charmy and believe me training back then was damn hard but i stuck at it, took about 6-8 weeks to get it to level 257, I never used to go onto the chat room (Blab) back then all i did was train but 1 day i gave it a try and i was very surprised how cool it was so i introduced myself(Zapdos) and waited to see if anyone said anything lol and many players welcomed me so i stayed for a while talking with a few players some of them i really wished still played the game way to many to list here , it was different and i enjoyed it.A few days pasted when i came on i saw Daulot was online and in chats i said hi to him not expecting a reply from him tbh with him being admin and probably busy but he did and we spoke a while about things how i found the game, did i play anywhere else ect.. so i sent him a PM in game saying where i played before (didn't want to break any rules) so he knew from that i was a very good trainer so he invited me to join his clan which i did and back to training i went, After a while of this he gave me a few coloured pokemon for helping the clan climb the ranks which i was so pleased with i started doing more and more, so the days and weeks went past of me training and going on the chatroom i got my 2nd favorite pokemon (Golden Rayquaza) so for the next few years i trained it constantly and finally reached my goal getting it to #1 in the ranks i was over the moon happy with this,then players started asking me to do training jobs for them for prizes which i took to striaght away ended up doing many 1000's of jobs over the years building up my collection of pokemon that i still have to this day.

The days and weeks pasted on and entei was made a Charoom Mod which was pretty cool i was well pleased for him but little did i know what was to come for me, Now i can't remember if Entei or Dualot put my name forward but i was asked if i wanted to try out for a Chatroom Mod position, i accepted as i was on the chats everyday now and again it was something different, so the next day i got online a there was the Light blue name, so i started doing what was asked of me, always freindly,helping others if needed and stop any crap on chats which i did pretty well and over time i started gaining some respect from the community. I did this for many weeks and to my surpise i was told i was put forward for promotion the Ig Game Mod which again i took (the Green name).

Over the next few weeks i carried on training as always going on the chat room and meeting newer players and talking to lots of older players and getting on very well with everyone and even started talk to Da Man from time to time which was always cool to do again this was something i never thought would happen, again i was offered another promotion to Super Mod (Orange name) which i took and carried on doing what i was good at the usual training, around this time something bad happened on the game and i almost quit the game for good not going into it here but i spoke to Da Man and told him what happened he did BAN the player instantly and told me to take my time before rushing into a decision, i posted on the chatroom saying i was thinking about leaving the game and i got bombard with PM's and messages asking why and saying that i shouldn't go but i took a few days away from the game to clear my head and think about what i was going to do, i came back online to even more pms which i went through them all and tbh brought tears to my eyes seeing how much players thought/liked me, this is what made my decision to stay easier so i went on the chatroom and said that i was staying which went down well lol.

The weeks and months went on playing the game and i was given the opportunity to become and Admin staff member (Red Name) who would have though all those years ago when i first came to the game and saw Daulot as Admin that one day i would be the same and work side by side with him and still do to this very day hopfully making the game better with him and all the new staff we have.

Well i'll end it here, i do have so much more i could say but tbh it would end up like the book War and Peace way to long so i just broke it down to this.

I reached my goal that i aimed for many years ago getting to #1 in trainer ranks and pokemon ranks met so many amazing players along the way and worked my way through the staff ranks what more could i ask, JOB DONE :)

I would like to say Many thanks of course to Entei2008 for first telling me about the game, Daulot for so many things that i am truely grateful to you for, Da Man for his understanding/dealing with the problem i faced, to all the Staff old and new and of course to the entire community because with out you there would be no me (Zapdos) and there would be no game to play without you so again Thank you.

How did you encounter creed
I actually remember the exact scenario of when I first found Creed. It was when I was in middle school, during the afternoon. There was a school project I was supposed to do, but I really didn't want to do it so I started procrastinating. I typed "pokemon rpg" on google and found Creed. I signed up and the rest is history.

How long have you been playing, have you quit before? If so why did you decide to come back?
When I joined in 2012, I was online for concerning amounts of time. I was a kid with no responsibilities and a lot of time. I was active until maybe 2019. At that time, the game felt dried up to me. No new updates in years, lowering playerbase, and I found other games that interested me. Because of the contest I'm holding, I've felt motivated to play again, but I don't do a whole lot. Claim promos, do lucky dip, do a few battles, sometimes read chat.

What has been your highlight?
I would say my highlight is being the clan leader of Memes which eventually became Billers. I met lots of cool people, and made long-lasting friendships with some of them. I remember having our own Mibbit IRC chat. We would do a lot in there. Besides just hanging out in there, I remember we would make our own sprites, our own signatures, and play Pokemon Showdown with each other. We even made our own Showdown crew, although no one ever challenged us lol. It was a lot of fun, and what I think defines my early teenage years. I get emotional thinking about that Mibbit chat. It meant a lot to me.
Some people who I enjoyed my time with:
jamesdomingo (dingo), kray (sorry you didn't get a nickname because your name was already short lol), Amathyst (ama), RichKidDre (rkd), daymieninferno1 (daymay), pokepop (poke), nephew34 (neph), abcywe (abc), onionknight (onion), phoenix1337 (phoe), 1dogzilla (1dog), tyizor (ty), shiny darkrai (sd), mistymisty, lotio, catcherpro, kyogy, artinny1, creed bot(rip)

What made you happy on Creed?
Talking and interacting with my friends made me happy on Creed. The Blab! community was a major part of why I stayed for so long. Creed's blab chat will always hold a special place in my heart.

What is your goal on Creed?
I never had any concrete goals that I wanted to reach. I would have some basic ones like "get 20k trainer level" or "get my golurk to level 25k" but those kinds of goals didn't matter to me very much. I joined Creed to have fun, and I did have fun, so I guess you could say I achieved my goal on Creed.

Any regrets? Bad trades that ruined everything? Did anything bad that you wouldn't have done again?
I remember you(Dualot) held a contest where we had to find a hidden message, and the prize was a LumiRay. It was hidden in one of the many announcement threads on the forums, and it was our job to find the code. I was the first to find the code and post it. However I didn't add the quotes around it, so I didn't actually win, though I thought I did. So I got cocky and linked the thread, and someone clicked it and posted the code with quotes and won. I was so mad lol. I still remember the answer. It was chairl3g.
I regret being mean to people I didn't get along with. I remember fighting with abominator and amy rose everyday, though now I look back at those days fondly. I hope they do as well.
Also I did ban kev9821 that one time, when he came into Blab! for the first time and said hey I'm dualots cousin. I thought he was trolling and banned him for impersonating LOL. my bad kev

Will you let your children play Creed in the future?
If they wanted to, sure. I don't see why not. But I'd be surprised if they wanted to choose this game over the free games we have now in 2022.

It's been almost 12 years since I joined this game and it's had a lot of highs during my time and some lows during that time but overall, it's been a fun experience so far and hopefully it stays like that. On September 10th 2010, I joined Creed for the first time under the name Toy Story and boy was it different than what I had been playing up until then. I joined when Nightrush had told me about the game and said that Dualot had made a game with Alan and asked if I would play it. At first, I said no since, at the time I was playing a game called TPPC quite a lot and wasn't really looking to play something else but in the end, I decided I would since I thought I might do better on this game than I did in the other. Well, I can give you a spoiler and tell you that I definitely did better here than there. But anyways, it was very tough to start with nothing and try getting somewhere without the use of a contest or the daily stuff that you do today like the raffle. So I played it for a while, training my pokemon and what not until eventually I kind of got bored with it. Doing the same thing every day kind of got to me so I just decided I would stick to one game instead of two and just moved away from this.


But then something happened and I decided I would come back and give it another shot. At this point, the game had taken off to over 100000 users and it was actually fairly active with quite a few people. I missed a lot of drama during that time as I found out later but I did end up seeing a lot of new drama unfold but thankfully, I didn't get in the middle of all that. So I was doing what I was doing before but then a friend of mine asked if I played. I told him yes and he ended up giving me everything that he had, which was quite a lot, even more with todays standards but it gave me more to do than just train my pokemon every day. So I started out with a goal, to get a ShadowLapras since it was quite rare and I had always liked Lapras so I wanted to see if I could get one. Unfortunately, it was very difficult to the point where nobody active had one so I had to wait a long time before I was actually able to get one. During all that, they had come out with a new feature to the game that I know A LOT of people know about, maybe even new people know about it called 50/50 trading. Now, it's exactly what you think, 50/50 but with pokemon instead of coins/money/points that you know of today. That made the game a lot more toxic in that people only did 50/50 trading and they felt that the only enjoyment was to take the pokemon of the people they were betting against and that was it. Which made the game quite difficult since it made people leave since they had nothing because it was gambled away.


During that time, I had been talking to Dualot quite a bit and he asked me if I would like to become a chat mod. Now, some of you might remember a little thing on Creed called Blab. Man, Blab was just a huge mix of every emotion you can think of. Some times it was fun, some times it was toxic, some times it was downright annoying as hell. Other times, it just didn't work since it was part of the site so if the site went down, so did Blab. Now, being a chat mod was actually quite easy during that time since you couldn't do anything to people on Blab. The only way to do anything to them was ban them on the game which you can't do when you're a chat mod. As such, it was a fairly easy job but I did have a lot of people with me when I first joined. Mountain Dew, brys, Jeffrey all joined with me when I became a chat mod. Grim Reaper was still green when I joined and to top it off, zapdos had just been made orange so the staff list at the time was very different than what it is today. During all this time, the game had become a fun, still toxic place so it was a little hit or miss on whether it was good or bad but I would say overall, it was good.


Then came the problems that comes with betting and not being able to do anything about it. Once the betting became a huge thing, that is all anyone ever did on the game. It got the point where a lot of us wanted to just stop playing because if that's all you do on the game, there's no point in going further and at some point during this, I had gotten my goal and got a ShadowLapras. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly how I got it but I did and I was pretty much done with the goal I had set myself for on Creed so I wasn't sure if I should stick around. I decided to keep going for a bit until something happened and I just stopped. I had lost the want of trying to get better at the game so I just said I was done and quit.


Then here about a year ago or so, I decided it was time to come back. I had seen the game had gotten quite a lot more quiet than it was since a lot of people stopped playing. Blab and now became Discord which was a little bit easier to deal with and some stuff had remained the same. Though 50/50 trading was gone so that was a nice bonus but the game I felt could use a pick me up. So I decided to start playing again, became a chat mod for a second time with RichKidDre and saw that people who were with me at chat mod now where mods. Jeff and brys became mods, Grim had become a super mod and zapdos was now an admin. It was the same but different positions so it kind of bummed me out that they had gotten somewhere and I just flat out left. So I decided I would try to help the game become better, offer feedback for the game so it could get better, do some stuff that I knew I had the power to do and just try helping out with the game which I should have done before but ended up not doing it. Anyways, I think I am done with all of this since I already know my story is going to be extremely boring compared to the other staff members but if you read it, thanks for reading it.

2011

Me and friends usually play a lot together. We used to play Ragnarok, Heroes of Newerth, Dota and Dota2. A little bit of LoL too.
Sooner, I got bored with them and started to think. "What game should I play that they don't play?"
Then I started playing AdventureQuest!
After a few days, they started playing too! I was like "..."
I started thinking again, then tried searching Pokémon online game. Then "boom!" I saw a Pokemon online game but not this one(hoho).
I played that game but after a week or 2 it went out/shutdown. (Me: ........)
I search again but found another Pokemon Online game, and again not this one(hehe).
I played but it didn't entertain me that much. So,
I search again but found another Pokemon Online game, but this time. It's Pokemon Creed.

I registered (Yeah, this account). Pick torchic as my starter Pokemon. I'm not sure what the first colored pokemon (promo) I got but it was either RainbowTorchic or LuminousTogepi(I still have them now on evolved form).
I trained/battled NPC to level up my Pokemon on that day. After that, I kinda forgot what the name of this game was (yeah, I actually forgot and can't remember the link of this game as I was usually playing on computer cafe/shop.
I search again and accidentally found this game again.
I registered again. I did realize that it looked familiar, so I tried to login using brys18 and it worked! At that time, I tried to not forget that it was Pokemon Creed.
I checked Pokemon rankings at that time and saw ShadowRayquaza. That time, I made it as a goal to get 1.
LuminousRayquaza also caught my interest, but it was really expensive.

I didn't go to blab chat and I just played the game, I don't remember if I did hitdown to get coins but probably it wasn't. Maybe fishing or daily raffles.
Sooner or later, I did go to blab chat and probably interacted with a few people.

I did make some friends here.
Some are good. Some did bad things.
Some quit and moved on. Some did come back and play Creed again.

When I was offered to be part of the staff as a chat mod(trial). I accepted it.
I did some mistakes and other staff members gave some advice.
Just learn from your mistakes and hope that it does not happen again.
Some years later, I got promoted to green(mod) and recently this year to orange(Super mod).

At some point too, I did also consider quitting the game.
But then my lucky dip streak would end up a waste! (JK)
I did really think about it and some of the players I know advised me that just to be away on creed/take a break.
So I did that and my streak went to 0. :p

Before I end this, I would like to thank all the people that helped me all the years that I have been in the game. All the memories, from giving advice, helping me with my colored togepi hoard, my goals, and just interacting with me. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I'm really glad that I got to be part of the Creed Community.

PS. The first was just a joke. The only part that was true is searching a pokemon online game, played that and shutdown after a few weeks. Search again and found Pokemon Creed.

Hello all,
My name is Rebornz, I started my creed journey somewhere in the late 2011's where I got to know about it through one of my facebook friend...I really don't remember the username at that time but I played the game for like 2 weeks or so because I had to leave my uncle's home which had internet connection after my vacation...

I couldn't go back to the game for like 3 years as tbh I forgot about it and finally I tried to log back in to the game after those 3 years but I forgot my username as it was something silly

I had to create a new username and hence Rebornz was born in April 13, 2014!
I chose charmander as my starter and I tried my level best to evolve it to Charizard! I worked my ass off to get my first coloured promo which unfortunately I don't remember what it was ,I think it was R.Dwebble though, not sure :3

I met so many friends along the way....The blab chat was a super awesome place to chill out, random talks, pokemon talks , contests and so on...

I joined Casino City and came close to many of the members there, Gambler was the admin at that time and he was very helpful! Brando,robath and many more....

The Christmas calendar,the Halloween vibes and the special promos everything just made creed a wonderful place to hang out...
I remember that I used to grind points to get better pokes from the Wonder trade as well
I was able crack the ancient and infinity towers for the first time in 2015 and Grim helped me to get my first ever ancient fossil which was A.hitmonchan!

Forums was another gold which I really miss being inactive now, we used to have users who were specifically active in the forums only lol...

I had taken breaks for few years as the game got inactive and we lost many players tbh..but I came back to this game ,as Pokemon will always be in my heart.

Once I had come across Zapdos's account, and I tried to view his box, but then my browser crashed,
Later I got to know that it was due to the sheer volume of pokemons in his box , that it crashed lol
This sparked something in me and I said to myself "I need a box like this where ppl's browsers should crash down lol"
That's one way Lee inspired indirectly to make my main goal in this creed! Yea he's awesome in his own way, we all know that :)

Fast forward,I was able to collect many pokes ,make more friends , chit chats and memories in this game. This game will always be a part of my life till it stops(hope it doesn't).... because.....

Pokemon is life isn't it?

I remember stumbling upon Pokemon Creed when I was 11 years old, at the time I was obsessed with Pokemon since I received Pokemon Ruby as a gift from my cousin. Another game I really liked at the time was Assassins Creed. I had already played a few RPGs prior to discovering Creed and out of curiosity, I decided to google Pokemon Assassins Creed in hopes of maybe finding some type of mashup game. I started playing Creed under the alias DenzalCreed at the time (December 2, 2011). I was a huge noob and being the 11 year old that I was, I fell for something foolish. I received a PM in game saying they could give me a lot of cool Pokemon if I gave them my login info and that I did. After realizing the mistake I made I got over it and created a new account, DaymienInferno1.

One of the most memorable moments on creed was meeting a player called Scottwest14, we had become very good friends as this was before I started chatting on Blab. Scottwest14 and I started playing Black Ops Zombies together and I just remember the amount of lag I experienced since he was playing from England.

I dont really remember what happened after that until I joined The Billers, where I met some of the nicest players that I still talk to daily. I also remember I started getting into GFX whether it was making banners or learning how to sprite which is probably my favorite part of Creed. I used to closely inspect various sprites to figure out the methods on how they were made and that is how I developed the skill to create such nice sprites.

This is where it gets a little scandalous in my timeline. Around the time that Alan became active again trying to improve the site and eventually moving the chat over to Discord. Alan introduced boxes and I had discovered a few exploits in the game. First being the Wishing Well where there was a bug that could infinitely generate coins & diamonds which I used to open a ton of boxes and started my wealth. Others might know this as the “Midas touch”. Alan figured it out and patched it quickly. The next exploit I found was duplicating through a trading bug. I used this method to also infinitely generate coins and items. Alan thought he figured it out on his own but he just made it easier to do. One day I received a DM from him asking how exactly I did it while also saying he would not ban me as he just wanted to fix it. I complied and then he asked if I wanted to be a spriter for Creed and he shared a lot of tips that would help get the quality of sprites of my sprites to where they are at now. This was one of my goals since I started spriting, to get my own sprite into the game I loved. I was soon added to the staff list as an official spriter before I took a long break. It was such a big accomplishment for me to finally be able to contribute to Creed and it makes me happy to see players excited about a sprite I made as I put so much time and effort trying to replicate Creed methods with barely any help.

I cant say I have any regrets, some people may have a bad opinion on me but I am open to all the faults I have made in the past. Creed is an essential part of my childhood and I cannot thank the community enough for making it such a pleasant experience. The highlight of my time on creed was definitely seeing my sprites added to the game. I tried to not make this too long as there was so much I wanted to include but that is probably all the exciting parts. To all the memories in that Blab chat and all the players I met along the way, thank you for making my childhood a memorable one.

-How did you encounter creed?
I had played Pokemon Indigo (when it was named that) back in 2010 in my youth, and I remembered it in Feb 2012 and started searching on Google for Pokemon games similar to it. First search was Creed itself, so I went with it.

How long have you been playing, have you quit before? If so why did you decide to come back?
I've been playing for 10 years, with breaks in between (5 months between 2012-2013, then a few months in between 2019-2022).

What has been your highlight?
Definitely being promoted, which was on a lot of people's wishlists as a kid I'm sure, including mine. I read my staff app from 2012 a bit ago and man, that was a throwback. Others include buying a Rainbow Key for 100 coins in the Item Market and turning it into the last RainbowRayquaza (I traded back for it this year after it passing so many hands), and being one of the first people to buy a Gradient, which was very hype back in the day!

What made you happy on Creed?
The community and the friends I made, you can't have a game without people that come back. If there's anything, I know I always have these guys (mentioned above with Jeff/Day) and the people on my ingame signature, since we've essentially grew up together. Being the creator of many hoards (around 20-30) in the heyday has also made me happy, as I know my influence on the game is there to show. I also did not forget the training job you gave me Mr. Dualot!

What is your goal on Creed?

I've knocked down pretty much all my goals, the only thing I'd really have game-wise is passively collecting Zoruas. In terms of getting promoted higher, I know my role to the staff team is best suited to being a chat mod, and do not mind stepping down at any point.

Any regrets? Bad trades that ruined everything? Did anything bad that you wouldn't have done again?

One time I messed up a 50/50 with raztony, than ended up costing me a lot of my box; I had put C.Honedge instead of C.Hound and won, then had to redo. Ended up losing RainbowGible base and RainbowRayquaza base out of that blunder. If I had won, raztony would probably have quit and I would not have to be called RDK (even while having the name clearly spelled on the Staff List).

Another time, someone had given me their password to their account (I probably will remember the name of it) way back in 2012. I logged in, then logged out hella scared. Spooked!

Will you let your children play Creed in the future?
They'll mess up my account!
