So uh...
Shiny Mesprit was a bust. Turns out shininess was rolled as soon as they started roaming, and while that's technically huntable, it's a no from me. So I decided to go and try SRing for Shiny Giratina instead. And in 41 encounters...


I'm actually out of breath right now, holy hell. I'm still shaking. You gotta understand, I thought I'd be at this for weeks.
Next on my hitlist are shiny Regigigas and Rayquaza. I've accrued a debt tonight, and methinks Lady Luck will collect her dues and make these two quite painful...

So, I guess I was talking about future stuff
It's only a matter of time before I graduate college and step into the unknown, and idk, that scares me. I haven't fully developed all the skills I wanna develop, I haven't got a plan for the future, and I know I shouldn't worry at my age of 19, but man is it hard not to.

Idk, I just don't wanna spend the rest of my days just talking to y'all on this site (with all due respect), I actually want something to not worry about in life, you know, find a girl, find a place in society, get a stable and steady carreer, finding my own place, and I'm just worried that'd never happen and I'd just be an aging dude with no life skills whatsoever.

Idk, I'm overthinking it, I know. I hate fearing for the future and thinking if worst case scenerios.

Overthinking can be a *****. But don’t worry too much. You’re gonna go places, I can tell.

If I’ve learned anything in life it’s that Stable and Steady are two things you won’t achieve for a long long time. There’s so many bumps in the road that sometimes just staying focused is hard but making the best of it is what makes it fun.

Honestly I think Occam's Razor sorts this out. Which of these is more reasonable?

Option A: Every parent on this planet is on the Santa conspiracy, creating a consistent mythos. Songwriters, Filmmakers, all part of the propaganda network that propagates the story of old Saint Nick. These absolute madlads then don't even finish the cookies and milk they left for "santa", only leaving one bite mark. Who can resist a chockolate chip ookie?

Option B: he's just real, the stories are true. He visits over 500 million houses a year, so he only needs to take one bite out of the cookies.

Story time:

With the Xbox Back Comp update last week, I saw another game on that list I wanted to try. It was "Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom" as I heard good things about it. So I tried to purchase it. Every single time it gave me an error message (but never took money). On Saturday I had to give up as it turns out the game was delisted from the Xbox store and ordered a used copy. Today I tried it and it's a fun Zelda clone.

That's the end of the story.

That's funnily enough the only mon I've ever Masuda hunted for. Can't really do that again as I lent my Ditto to a friend to use, but I still have my funny Protect Last Resort Duck.

I think we call this strange phenomenon "culture" :yoshi:

Shiny hunting legendaries is fun. I'd say more so than other methods just thanks to how it works. There's something about taking that 1 in 4096 shot over and over again until that dopamine dump truck (or 1/8192, if you're stuck doing it on an older game, such as with Celebi on the GSC VC.) The tedium is worth it, at least when you're like me, a weirdo.
Also, they're cool to have and use, especially now that the games give you tools to make your shinies battle-ready.
Though I don't see the point in doing it for a shiny starter, TBH. Why do that over Masuda breeding?

Unironically, mine actually isn't a meme, that's what happened after I traded a Patrat to some Japanese guy in Pokemon Black.


That's also how Porygon Z became one of my all time favorite mons.

Shinies ain't worth nuttin to me if you didn't pour your own blood sweat and tears into catching/hatching them.

Or you know, you just got really lucky walking into a random patch of grass.

2022 really will be a year of snoozers for me, huh? :slime: Well, hopefully, the BOTW sequel actually comes out next year.

I skipped on a Jolly one and now have a Timid one for Mew. Think I’ll keep this one.

I imagine Jirachi wants Sp. Atk, yeah?
It works well either. Depends what moves it gets in this game, but it runs an annoying physical flincher set. Special sets are also effective thanks to their power. JOACHIM JS VERY FLEXXIBLE
