 On March 28, 2004, on the now defunct official Nintendo Forums (aka Nsider), a handful of five roleplays were made. These roleplays were based off of the villainous teams from the games up until the most recent generation (generation three). One of those teams was a relatively unimportant evil in its game, Team Snagem. Team Snagem started out completely different from its in-game counterpart, outside of Snag Machines. Right away the team was unique with its characters which possessed the traits of Pokemon, a mix of the two, hybrids if you will. This unique quality lasts even today. The roleplay spent its first year on the Nsider forums. It was there that we made many friends and allies among the other four teams. There was much competition, and sometimes hostility, among the teams. Snagem had always been a major power among the others but there were often times where it was not the biggest. However, that did not matter to the Snagems. We were a strong group like always, and we always rose above a challenge. Even when the official forums were killed we did not give up, we simply found ourselves a new home, GaiaOnline. And now that brings us to today, the last nine years we have spent on this website have been memorable. Many great members have come and gone. Friendships have been forged. Battle have been fought. And even at times, wars. But still, Team Snagem thrives, strong enough to celebrate ten years of questionable snagging. Some may say we are evil, others say we are good. They are both wrong. Team Snagem is the gray in the middle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- And now it's time to celebrate! For the next month we will be celebrating ten glorious years of Snagem (no, this isn't an April Fool's joke)! Some of the things we'll be doing will include, but not limited to, contests, giveaways, special missions, massive RPs, and much much more. You may even see members from our past stop by and say hello! No promises though. Now then, enough chatter, you've guys have heard me talk more than enough over the years. Let's party!

[Anniversary Missions] Return of Emperor SlurpNever did I think I would see the day...Emperor Slurp was ripped through the fabric of space and time and returned to topple Snagem HQ! Emperor Slurp (as he now calls himself) is a sentient slurpee machine with powers it should not have. The machine is capable of creating living beings out of delicious flavored ice to use as his minions. Doesn't sound too scary, does it? Well guess what, we got upgraded! Emperor Slurp is now mobile and has spider-like legs and two cannons which fire off globs of quick solid freeze slurpee mush. Furthermore his minions have become more powerful as well. He can now conjure Snowchus (Pichu), Slurpin (Gulpin), and Chillburr (Timburr). These creatures do not use the abilities of the species they are based on but ice and slurpee based ones. Furthermore he has amassed a legion of Vanillite and evolved forms. The frozen treats are coming! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to send Emperor Slurp back to the dimension he belongs. It would be foolish to destroy him as I am not sure what that would do to the fabric of space and time. So instead you must weaken him and 'catch' him with this Pokeball I've prepared, I call it a Lustrious Ball, it will send him back to where he belongs. Don't ask me where it came from... Objective: ---Defeat Emporer Slurp's minions and send him back to where he came from! Opposition: ---Snowchu: -----Ability: Chill Static (freezes you if you touch it physically) -----Moves: Ice Beam and Freeze Charge (ice based Volt Charge) -----Note: They like to attack in hordes and sometimes combine to increase size. ---Slurpin: -----Ability: Spoiled Slurpee (poisonous slurpee body, acidic even) -----Moves: Swallow, Spit Up, Acid Armor, and Acidic Snow (self explanatory) -----Note: They will try to swallow you or your Pokemon and freeze themselves solid. Can melt and re-solidify at will. ---Chillburr: -----Ability: NeverMelt Body (resistant to heat) -----Moves: Ice Punch, Icicle Crash, Hail Storm (can throw its block of ice up and shatter it into shards at will) -----Note: Thanks to its solid ice body it's incredibly durable and strong. It uses a block of NeverMeltIce instead of wood. ---Vanillite, Vanillish, Vanilluxe ---Emporer Slurp, he can use almost any Ice move (outside of legendaty ones) and has various slurpee weapons. All moves are slurpee based too. Pokemon: ---You may capture one Pokemon of the Vanillite line. Rewards: ---5-10 Snag Tickets depending on quality of mission.

Then, every now and then an item, Pokemon, Snag Coins, or other various goodies will be put up for raffle. You then enter how every many tickets you wish to and wait for the deadline. Then, everyone will be given a set of numbers depending on how many tickets they entered and a random number will be determined from that list of numbers to decide who wins the prize up for raffle!

10 years of Snagem...It's truly amazing. I have been with the team for almost every day of those 10 years, with March 31st being my 10 year anniversary with the team. It has been an experience. I have been up and down with this group of misfits. Through the good, bad, ugly, really ugly, and then glorious renewal. it's been a trip. Some people I could care less if I see again, some I miss greatly, and others have become amazing friends. I salute us for making it this far and hope for a great long future for the guild.
Live Long, Snag Free!

I've only been a part of Snagem for about 2 years, having joined a month or two before the 8th anniversary (don't remember the exact date of when I joined though), because of Reno. Reno found Snagem before I did, and had been talking about it a fair amount, trying to get me interested in joining despite my lack of a computer at the time. Once I got my laptop of course, I did join in, having been intrigued by the fact that there was a guild like this one. While my activity here is spotty at best, often taking breaks for months at a time for various reasons, I do enjoy the time I spend here. I've made friends that I probably wouldn't have made otherwise. And it got me back into doing something that I've loved for a long time... RPing. You are all like a second family to me, and I love that, and I love being able to chat with you all on skype as well as here.
And, in honor of Snagem's ten year anniversary, I'd like to do a large group picture for the team, with as many Snagems as I can manage if I can, which I will likely work on throughout the month. If you are interested in being a part of said picture, please send me a PM, or message me privately via skype with details of which characters you'd like me to include (if you just want one of your characters, or more than one, I can work with any number~). <3

F*** YEAH, SNAGEM TEN YEARS B******!!!!
And now for your regularly programed Crystal.
Seriously, holy crap. I didn't even realize it's been ten years. Wow. o.o Um, as one of the vets, I'd be a moron to not talk about my history. So, yeah. Frak, I forget how long I've been with the team, with various disappearances(and a certain person encouraging me to leave Snagem for a while for a now dead Cipher), but yeah, I've been here for a while. And even when I leave, I've returned after a while. Even World of Warcrap can't keep me away from here. XD Hopefully, though, I'm done with these disappearances, and I even dragged someone else in this time.... >> << One of the more noteworthy times for me with Snagem would be the interaction with them when I moved from where I initially lived to a much nicer town... I managed to make friends around here once school started, but with where I moved to in town, I didn't see too many teens around(had moved half way though high school, for those who didn't know), and Snagem kept me feeling well, normal. x3 So, yeah. Snagem means a lot to me. A whole hell of a lot. And I wouldn't trade this place for the world. ^-^

I've been at Snagem for about a year and a half now, and I've loved all the great memories. Snagem is my first Rp I've ever joined and it has seemed to sink into me. I love to wake up and see who's on in the morning say hi and even get a post in with them. The Mission are invigorating and always pull me into the lore of our spin on the Team Snagem. I feel welcomed and a little loved when people engage me in conversation and games over the chat. I may be the youngest of the Snagem's I feel like that doesn't always stop me from storming right in with the gang by their side on this wonderfull world wide web. To be all Honest Snagem is a Family that I keep close to me. So in respect of this wonderful day, Ill be creating a 3d model of the hq and video of its insides, as long as I can get the program up and running. After that I Will be adding onto the file maybe adding characters and Pokemon too. Though please keep in mind I still am a novice, but just like my writing it will improve over time. Happy anniversary Everyone!

Tier 1 Mission
10th Anniversary Mission – New Kids on the Block
This is it Snagems, this is the end of the line and the end of the world. You’ve traveled far if you are able to undertake this quest. Just merely being able to accept this mission proves that your might is indeed formidable. But because you are so experienced, you should no doubt know exactly what it means that there’s a mission considered to be on ‘even-footing’ so to speak with your experiences and skills that you’ve gathered up to this point.
So, if you’re brave enough to forge onwards, then by all means do keep reading. For those uninterested or unable, I’d suggest turning back now, as the horrible reality of what is facing the champions that have chosen to steel their hearts and accept this as their path. If you were waffling about, reading on even though you knew you shouldn’t, these two dashes are your last warning to turn back.
--
Dialga and Palkia. Those two names should strike a chord with any Snagem proud enough to call themselves Tier 1. Time and Space. Masters of each, respectively. With the ability to create anything and alter the very fabric of the space-time continuum, they can will anything they wish into being. Now, while that is not bad news by itself, I do have a piece of fairly bad news to anyone who has accepted this mission. If it hasn’t happened already, you’ll notice it in a second. Someone has taken hold of the reigns of these two megapowers and is twisting them to devilish ends. Anyone who didn’t take heed of my warning five hundred and nine characters ago, you’re either dead already and don’t realize it, or waking up because our hero-to-be here has successfully pulled off this mission. This nefarious villain, whomever they may be is making their first order of business wiping Snagem off the map. For good. As in, never existed. Right now, as of this moment, you and this miserable scrap of paper is all that remembers Snagem. The mysterious force behind these two Pokemon has combined their strength and created a reality where Snagem not only doesn’t exist. It hasn’t. Has never, and will never.
‘No More Snagems’, if you will.
But that’s where you come into the picture. You see, for some reason you’ve got a lot of memories rattling around in your head that don’t seem to make sense in this world, and you seem to remember a team that no one else does, made of people that no one has heard of. Something isn’t right here, and you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe you’re going crazy. Maybe you’re the only one who’s sane. In order to get out of this one, you’re going to need to do the impossible. Get the band together from the beginning, all over again. Now, not all of the members in whatever team was in your last continuity still exist. So it’s not going to be so easy as just finding your former teammates who have some kind of amnesia and snapping them out of it. You’re going to need to collect a specific set of people, and convince them something’s out of the ordinary, get them to band together of their own free will, and fight the forces of evil. Basically recreate the magic that was Snagem’s founding, one more time, with almost all brand-new faces. You will need to have at least five members in your new Snagem, with specific requirements for each of them.
You will need to find and convince one person of each requirement to join you against a force that can wipe them from existence with a thought. Only the best of the best should be chosen for this group, as they will need to be an elite task force to take on whatever it is behind Dialga and Palkia.
You need:
One Gym Leader – From any of the regions, any badge, anywhere. You need to convince them to join your group as they will provide a solid foundation in their chosen type. I would advise diversifying your type pool, as whatever awaits you at the end of this mission is sure to be multifaceted.
One Hybrid – This person can be any hybrid, but whoever they are, they for sure never are/were ever a member of Snagem. They will probably be a powerful ally, so choose wisely.
One Tech Genius – You’re going to need someone to network your team and provide communications along with inventing whatever contraptions it is you’re going to need to take down the final boss of all of this. They might be a hybrid, they might not, it all depends on who you think you’re going to need to get this done.
One Bankroller – They provide the financial backing. Whoever they are, they’re well-heeled and immensely wealthy, probably providing a base of operations and financial backing to fund the Tech Genius from above.
Yourself – Seems obvious that you are the fifth wheel in this cog, and the final member of the team, but sometimes it needs to be pointed out.
Once you have all five of you assembled, all in agreement, or at least agreeing to see how it goes working together, you’re going to need some kind of base to work from, a Headquarters, or HQ, if you will. It can be anywhere, but it should be someplace secluded and hidden from the public eye.
With a base established, you and the Snagem team that you find yourself elected leader of needs to begin making a very public display of your combined strength. Save a city, thwart an evil team’s plot, do something to put your team front and center in the public consciousness. This should send enough continuity ripples through timespace to attract the attention of whatever or whoever it is that has gotten their hands on Dialga and Palkia and bring them running to face you. Your makeshift team is going to have their work cut out for them facing this villain, and it’s your chance to show them off.
Who is it, you ask? Who is this mysterious force that has gone to such great lengths to rip the very roots out from the bottom of the illustrious Team Snagem? How should I know? You’re saving my life and my future as much as everybody else’s, get to it and find out, your old reality has already ceased to exist.
Once you defeat who or whatever it is that has made everything loopy, that will be it for your merry bunch of Snagems. Say your goodbyes and set the world right the way it was before you accepted this mission, restoring the universe to balance.
Objectives:
---Reality as you know it is topsy-turvy from this point forwards. Assemble a new crew of five Snagems, all brand new members, and convince them to help you fight against something they are unsure of the existence of.
---Once your team is assembled, form a new headquarters somewhere to serve as a base of operations. Just like your past team, your new Snagem will flounder without a place to call home.
---Cause enough of a ruckus to attract the attention of whatever overlord has taken control of Dialga and Palkia, and wrest control back from them. Please. For everyone in all of the Snagems in all of the alternate realities, you need to have a plan going into this in order to face whoever or whatever it is that’s behind this and take them down. Not just for me, not just for the world. For Snagem. Put the world back the way it was meant to be.
Rewards:
---Tell a compelling enough tale, and your rewards are sure to be mighty, even if you undo everything. The powers that be have ways of rewarding true heroes.

This is the greenhorn Admin, speaking up as the reason for...about half the posts in this thread so far from members. Speaking as a member of over two years, I....have no idea what sparked my interest here. I found it on the main page of Gaia, decided a Pokemon RP with an entrance requirement would be a nice change from the oddities I dealt with in other RPs on this site and went for it. And I basically started this small cascade of new members (two people, big numbers people) that seems to have helped in keeping some outside interests in the place. And for friends, I'd say I've made friends with everyone here and probably know way more about them than they give me credit for. I went, in a year or two, from Best New Recruit for the first awards I was eligible in to an admin now and it has honestly been awesome. And hopefully I can help to create some more interesting situations for you guys.

I don't even know how long I've been with Snagem. I've seen people come and go, I've seen the world go up in smoke and be rebuilt from the ashes.
I wasn't always Rhyme, and I wasn't always confident in my muses. Believe me--Rexy was my first character here, and well...after things happened I disappeared, and she did too.
Rhyme was my redeeming character for Snagem, my way to return. And I'm not leaving anytime soon. rawr.
