OK I Never made any assumption about anyone here, first off. I was asking a question because I am genuinely puzzled as to why someone would want less chances for a raffle prize to be won, and was trying to understand.
Second, I have Never said the raffle in VA caused cheating. I was referring to the other site raffle prize bringing out cheating, and outlined the ways it was done. And no I have not forgotten about the illegitimate Zygardes. But case in point, they were baited by the chance to get something very rare and found a way to get it by botting the CE which gave them trade fodder to get other rare shinies for them, as well as millions of dollars in currency, daily, and millions of CE credits.

The Regi trio would be a good choice, too. Someone (you? too lazy to crosscheck) pointed out that the Snow Temple is not used anymore...
Oooo, Regi trio sounds like a fantastic idea. I'd be on board with that. I feel like if Regigigas is only able to be obtained in such a way, that recirculating them every so often would be a great idea.

Well, with so many ideas for what could be put into the raffle, I suppose it's fine keeping it the way it is.

But about the missing Legendaries, the ones completely lacking dex entries. I think perhaps the first move would be to give them dex entries. I'm not sure if you guys are trying to come up with a brand new feature or if you want to recycle an older feature, but either way, dex entries would probably be a good first step. There's quite a few of those missing in general.

There are a lot of shinies which look very similar to their normal counterparts. Arm yourself with knowledge!

Speaking of Regis, the snow temple will not take the shiny ones as it is now. I would love to see that implemented with a chance for shiny Regigas on them, like 100 percent chance if all 3 entered are shiny, 33 percent if one is entered or 66 percent if 2 out of 3 are entered.
For raffle, I think Diancie and Latias/Latios should be in there or at least someplace else to win once the megas for them are available, I am not sure if they are yet

I had Diancie pegged more as a Guess the Number type of adopt. That's why I never suggested it as a Raffle prize. It's like, I've seen Manaphy, Mew, and Jirachi in Guess the Number and I just figured it was a game just for Mythicals or something. Mythicals like Diancie.

Victini would be a good one for something. Don't know what. It used to be an adopt you got for... doing things. I dunno the specifics because I never won one.

Karasume told me the Summer Camp Litleo was missing a Special Dex icon. I had a look and couldn't find it.
But also on the topic of Pokedex issues, there's this "Chinchou". Why is it called Chinchou and not something more significant since it's a special adopt?

What is starry pyroar? I don't think I have seen that and I thought I had them all?

Edit: oops nevermind I found them. It is the one I have the most of, lol

Yes, I am not sure the ones I mentioned would be in the raffle, just hopefully someplace on the site to be obtainable. Usually the raffle has had duo prizes like latias/latios, palkia/dialga, and the black/white legend pair. The trios like Regis, pixies and genies were click prizes that could be won anywhere, not just CE. But it does not mean it has to be that way. The victini and manaphy were post on the forum random prizes. If they do another forum posting prize, my guess is it would be Diancie or Meloetta, or maybe the "bowing" kyruem.

most of the latest special adopts are lacking a description.
It would be nice to have a little bit to read about every adopt.
also like FairyPrincessCynthia said, 'Chinchou' is lacking a proper name, just wanted to repeat that :3

Looks like Latios (and probably Latias) are now in the Raffle. That's particularly awesome.

You know, Tango. It's a bit weird we decided to post the same thing in the same thread at the same time.

Sweeeet! Now just gotta make more money so I can afford to buy enough tickets to have a chance at winning one xD

As for these other promo suggestions... Is Victini no longer obtainable? The dex says it is. I'm not 100% sure but it seemed it was just randomly given out when posting on the forums. Last I remember someone mentioning they won one a couple years ago for posting something else in the Congrats thread.

I like that idea. Of having a potential reward for forum activity. Just having it be a bit better known might help keep this end of VA more bustling as people want to post.

As long as I'm mentioning bits and pieces that are off about Pokemon info and the site in general, here's the following:

---

The following Legendary Pokemon should have specified genders on their View/Edit screen rather than marked as None for their gender:

Latias - Female
Latios - Male
Cresselia - Female
Heatran - They can be either Male or Female

---

The following text is gendered as a masculine pronoun rather than a neutral one when you click on an adopt to feed/play with it, regardless of what the adopt actually is, or if it's in an egg:

You are trying to feed the following Virtuadopt:
