My Place in Poptropica: Kyoto

This is the My Place in Poptropica story of Kyoto (alas, not to do with the city in Japan), who treats his Poptropica avatar Calm Tooth as his best friend in life. See below for details on sending in your MPIP!

Hello! My name is Kyoto and I’m 19 years old. My Poptropica avatar’s name is Calm Tooth, and my username is vincent9824. I’ve been playing Poptropica for a long time. Now I’m here to tell my story of my journey with this game… so yeah! Let’s go!

2007 – 2009 | The Beginning

I first found Poptropica when my cousin showed me the game on her computer. I was really intrigued by the character design, and when I realized that the creator of the game was one of my favorite authors – Jeff Kinney – I knew I had to start playing it right away. Even though there was only one island at the time, Early Poptropica. But that was fine – a lot of islands later showed up, like Shark Tooth and Time Tangled.

2010–2014 | The Hard Times

I played the game for a long time and found myself quite addicted. My friends kept telling me that the game wasn’t that great and told me to stop playing it. However, I refused, because to me Poptropica had value: it’s like solving a puzzle, you need to find the right pattern and solve it with your mind.

One New Year’s Eve, I entered an island called Skullduggery, but upon entering, my account was lost… I don’t know what happened, but I couldn’t get to it anymore. I stopped playing after this, even though I missed my avatar, Calm Tooth.

2015 | An Unexpected Surprise

At some point, I was busy doing some bug testing on some games I played, including Poptropica.I went back to the site and tried to enter my login data for Calm Tooth. Suddenly something awesome happened: my account – Calm Tooth – was back! …I screamed with happiness as I excitedly got back into Poptropica once again, and managed to complete some islands. That was the best day of my life.

What’s interesting is that when I checked the elements of the game, I noticed a virus that was in my PC due to the large and unknown files I had installed for my bug testing that made my flash player profile reset the elements of the game. Days later I had my PC repaired and I continued playing Poptropica.

2016 | Calm Tooth is my best friend

Even though I’m busy with school, I still play the game, and the more I play it, the more Poptropica becomes cooler to me. I’ve since completed every island, except the original Home Island quest due to its retirement. But I don’t really care, because I had a lot of fun with my best avatar, Calm Tooth!

Right now I’m waiting for the next island to be released. While waiting, I just visit common rooms and replay some islands. Me and Calm Tooth are ready for anything! I treat Calm Tooth as my best friend, my brother, and my partner in life. I customized Calm Tooth to look the same way I do in real life, which you can see in the picture at the top of this post.

To all Poptropicans out there, here’s a message for you guys: Follow your dreams, and don’t let people take control of yourself because you have to live your own dreams! May God bless you.

Thank You
from Me and Calm Tooth
