It’s mon, Mon.

Doesn't he have to say mon at the end of his sentence? SQUIRTLE.

Yay! MonS! So, now on Astro-Knights there’s an ad game for Apple Jacks. Basically you have to dodge all the cereal machines (the boring Smarties)and find the off-switch. Well, I find no puns here. SQUIRTLE. Except for the part that the cinnamon is Jamaican. SQUIRTLE. So he always eats stuff backwards. PIKACHU….SQUIRTLE.

The prize for this is an APPLE JACKS follower – or two, since you get to pick between Apple and CinnaMon. Here’s a video walkthrough by Loud Shark:

PLUS, there’s also a Lego Hero Factory ad where your task is to run around the city defusing bombs. At the end, you win a LEGO HERO factory suit and the Ray Shooter we predicted earlier. And here’s another video tutorial by Loud Shark:

Say it. Out loud.

Do we get moar Coke?

Pop means soda, so we might get soda if this feature will be released in the near future… (JK but still XD)

What is Daily Pop?

I’m not sure, but it’s coming soon!

Oooh! What do you guys think Daily Pop will be? A quest every day? You get something free? Who knows? Let’s hope it’ll be exciting! Comment on what you think this will be!

Update: According to this web article that Neat Tornado shared with us, Poptropica Creator Jess Brallier has big plans for Poptropica:

Poptropica will launch eight books with Penguin in 2012, Mr Brallier says. Poptropica is launching personalised pages, enticing players with daily quizzes and comic strips, and pitching the site as a new platform for comic syndicators, which he says are “petrified” by newspapers’ decline.

That statement has since been removed from the web, but we think that’s what the Daily Pop is going to be about! …AND Poptropica will be writing books and publishing them, for realz! :O But there’s more…

Mr Kinney, who writes scripts for Poptropica with Mr Brallier’s son Max, is working on a Wimpy Kid island, and Mr Brallier says half of the islands on Poptropica may be branded in the next year.

“I want to create the next Disney,” says Jess Brallier. It is an outlandish statement, but in one area, the ebullient Boston-based author has beaten the Burbank entertainment empire.

Poptropica, the “virtual world” Mr Brallier launched in 2007, has passed Club Penguin, a Disney site, to become the largest US children’s destination online, according to Quantcast.

Pretty intense! Wimpy Kid Island? The next Disney? o.O What do you think the future of Poptropica holds??

Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

….You put your right arm in and shack it all about.

November 3, 2010November 4, 2010 Green Boa

Green Boa: You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn around, that’s what it’s all about!

(Everyone applauds)

Green Boa: Why thankyou. I won’t bother with my left arm, because we have a guest! And it’s, Da da-da da! Captain Crawfish V! (That’s 5 if you didn’t know.)

Captain Crawfish: OK, OK. Look, I’m CC 5. Why am I number 5? What happened to a number 1?

Green Boa: He was nommed by random nommers.

Captain Crawfish: And two?

Green Boa: Nommed by Hijuyo backstage, but I’ve got his right ear, if that’s any good to you?

(Random people from audience rush in and grab the ear and run off)

Captain Crawfish: That is just sick. And number 3?

Green Boa: I nommed him for making a science mistake on AN EDUCATION ONLINE GAME!

Captain Crawfish: But what happened to number 4?

Green Boa: Binary Bard and I nommed him at Mcdonalds. >:) Just hurry up with the post and you’ll walk away unharmed.

Captain Crawfish: Well…

Shacking up (update: post title changed to “What’s got your goat?”)

The goats are everywhere. They’re even hanging out of this shack.

They’ve got no respect for other people’s property. Or maybe they’re hiding.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Green Boa: Who are you to say they’ve got no respect for other people’s property?! You attack places and steal their property!

Captain Crawfish: I can find flaws in other people, but not in myself. (:

Green Boa: Anyway, since we’ve got a creator to tell us, is this a screen shot of Cryptids Island?

Captain Crawfish: OMG whaaaaaaaat? How do you know my secretly secret secrets?!

Green Boa: Because you put a picture on the poptropica homepace, DUH. But just tell us, is it a screenshot of the mysterious Cryptids Island?

Captain Crawfish: My lips are sealed! I shall never talk! Never! Not one word will come from me! I shall never reveal the truth, not even if you said please. Or pretty please. Or pretty please with sugar on top. And you can’t hurt ME! You promised I could walk away unharmed, didn’t you? Huh? I shall not be killed by cannibals! You promised I would be unharmed!

Green Boa: Well, I should tell you something.

Captain Crawfish: What?

Green Boa: When I said you could walk away unharmed………… I had my fingers crossed!

(Loud gasp from audience)

Captain Crawfish: Aaaaaargh! *runs*

Green Boa: Garrr! *leaps into air with open jaw*

(Off stage screaming, nomming and burping)

*Eeerie Silence….*

Contests

The midnight hour is close at hand…

October 31, 2010October 12, 2011 Slanted Fish

It’s close to midnight.

Something evil’s lurkin’ from the dark, under the moonlight. You see a sight that almost stops your heart.

You try to scream. But terror takes the sound before you make it.

You start to freeze, as terror looks you right between your eyes.

You’re paralyzed.

‘Cause this is thriller
…thriller NIGHT. (:<

The results are in for the Poptropica Help Blog’s Second Annual Halloween Costume Contest!

In THIRD PLACE we have…

Which leaves FIRST PLACE. The grand prize winner is…

wait for it…

I SAID, WAIT FOR IT!

Just then, you hear the door slam… and realize there’s nowhere left to run. You feel the cold hand and wonder if you’ll ever see the sun. You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, but all the while, you hear a creature creepin’ up behind. You’re outta time…

‘Cause you’ve just come face-to-face with… a VAMPIRATE! *all gasp* O:

Let’s give it up for Clubpenguin750, the vampire pirate submitted by Bony Laser. Congrats!

https://poptropi.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/clubpenguin750.png — Yeahhh. Look who just stole the show. 🙂
