Oh, I caught one of each, then two and two clicked and I realized one of them was a shiny.
...
I just want to get at least one clear ball for each dog.

Added the VDex twitter to the first post. Shirogane posts some good stuff there, so it wouldn't hurt to bookmark that. But I think links won't work unless you're signed in to twitter. At least, that's what would happen to me in the past.

OH DRAT I NEED TO GO BUY POKEBALLS TO GET MY ABSOL. THANXXX GURL.
And i'm looking at Shiro's Twitter, already I know to stock up on berries. \:D/
I'm glad the November event won't be solely based on Lyrit/catching.
Oh my, this is a wealth of information indeed!

That's me right there. I think it sucks that dungeons are the only income and they take like an hour to complete (the 200 floor ones for more money lol).
That asides, I kinda like it. o_o
Btw I thought Pokemons got 25% exp every hour, even if you aren't online, but my pokemons haven't gotten any. QQ

The real income you should be getting is sticking your party url in your sig and posting on this site. I've made enough posts to get an average of 100 advertisement points per day, which is estimate 2k per day without doing anything. Other than that, the other income comes from selling stuff such as rare pokemon and rare items like everstones.

Only pokemon in your party will get exp.

I see. O_O So how do I put them in my sig? The link thing can't be made into an img. O_O

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't realize my page hadn't updated yet lol. Thanks for the info though. ^^
By the way, if you guys don't have a Magikarp on your party, watch this:

It's the Era of Magikarp now!

EVERYBODY KNOWS MAGIKARP IS A CHAMP.
Adding!
Also, yeah, I get 2.5k PD/day in advertising, 500 from earnings, and roughly 2.5k/day from Beauty Contests.
I really don't know if I should recondition my party to forage, because I heard the success rate is at least 80%, compared to Beauty Contests at barely 50%, even with maxed Beauty. But 1k pure PD > pokeballs and berries.
From now on, i'm dedicating myself to shiny hunting and Event 'Mon hunting. It's unfortunate that it's not really worth my time to do anything else. Even trollmons like the Shiny HGSS Golbat I caught are easily worth 8k-10k, and Pokemon that people actually want are so much more. And it's even worse that a lot of the events lately have been goldsinks, which makes it even harder for me to make any money.
Donors really do have it much better. I know the site is up solely because of donors, but some of the stuff they get is ridiculous.

So...if I wanted to join VDex what are some recommendations/tips that are good to know?
-

- until you make 5k PD, Pokeballs are half price (100 PD, but since you get Yun as your partner, you get 5% off, so 95. Good deal!)
- catch rates (success rate for catches) are the same as they are in the normal games. It doesn't show until you get a full dex entry, but you can look it up on bulbapedia, or the partner Z will tell you. So legendaries, etc., that escape pokeballs really easily, they're annoying to catch unless you have ultra balls.
- if you miss a pokemon, it doesn't consume a pokeball.
- expect to do a lot of refreshing.
- make sure you enter the Shadow Dog giveaway, you're guaranteed to get something (I got a shiny Entei).
- do the Absol event right now, you'll get Clear Bells (for catching the 3 legendary dogs) and Event Absol that could easily sell for 5k/each.
- put some of your pokedollars in the bank as savings. You can get 500/day from savings, but no more. The max amount of PD you need to get 500/day in savings is 2084, so I keep that much in my bank and the rest out in the open.
- in the guidebook, there's info on all the partners, so pick one that's right for you. Lyrit is extremely useful if you catch Pokemon a lot (increased catch rate), but when you max Lyrit's affection, it costs 8k PD (quite a bit, that's two day's of money for me) to switch to another one. The rest cost 500 PD to switch.
- shiny pokemon are valuable. If you see one, try to catch it.
- retro pokemon are still decently valuable. Really popular pokemon like Pikachu, Ponyta, etc., people will pay a LOT of money for.
- whatever you do, don't start in Sinnoh. You can't move around the map very much as a newbie.

Legendaries are still stupid even with ultra balls. 2% catch rate, man.

I only got a regular Suicune. :(

Yeah, you'll want at least 3 clear bells. I don't know when they'll be released again, and you'll need the three legendary dogs to complete the Johto dex.

Also, I have 6 Clear Bells. What to do.
