Noad Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 A PokeMMO history lesson: Why do the British celebrate Bonfire Night on 5th November? In 1603 Queen Elizabeth I died and left no child as an heir, so the English throne went to the King of Scotland at the time, James VI. A number of people disliked King James for various reasons but mainly his choice of religion. A group of people plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament, killing the King and his men. This was due to take place on 5th November, the state opening of Parliament. A man called Guy Fawkes was involved in this plot, he was a former soldier and an expert in explosives. He was in charge of rigging up Parliament's basement with enough explosives to bring the whole place down. Unfortunately for him, word got out about the plot and he was caught red handed in the basement of Parliament with all the explosives at midnight on 4th November. Without going into gruesome detail, Fawkes was tortured for days before he confessed in full and was then executed alongside his co-conspirators. Since then Great Britain has celebrated 5th November in commemoration of the plot to destroy the Monarchy being foiled. Rather morbidly, some people create a dummy (known as a "Guy") and burn it on the bonfire. Fireworks are also set off in significance of the gunpowder that was laid to destroy parliament. There is also a rather famous rhyme that his hundreds of years old but still widely known by British people today:Remember, remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot Details Automated Tournament | Single Battle | 64 Players | UU Tier | Bracket First Prize Gift Manectric Your choice of nature, four moves, 3x31 and 3x30 IVs (IVs allow for Hidden Power selection) & 1,000,000 Pokeyen OR 1000 Reward Points Second Prize 500,000 Pokeyen OR 500 Reward Points Third Prize 250,000 Pokeyen OR 250 Reward Points Date and Time Sunday 5th November 22:00 GMT | 23:00 CET | 17:00 EDT Registration Registration will open 15 minutes prior to the tournament.

Just to clarify it is not shiny, it's a competitive Manectric with higher IVs that can be selected to customise Hidden Power and four selectable Egg/Tutor/Special moves. EmoDuck 1 Link to comment
