Spent a few hours shiny hunting this afternoon.
Got:
Arboliva
Grafaiai
Revavroom
Orthworm

Only gen 9 shinies I'm missing besides the starters and the shiny locked Pokemon are:
Tandemaus
Maushold
Squawkabilly
Klawf
Wiglett
Wugtrio
Tatsugiri
Farigiraf
Great Tusk
Scream Tail
Brute Bonnet
Flutter Mane
Slither Wing
Sandy Shocks
Iron Treads
Frigibax
Arctibax
Baxcalibur
Roaring Moon

Getting close :D Then there's like idk maybe 50 Pokemon from other gens, mostly gen 8 that I can hunt that I don't own in any game. Then after that idk if I want to hunt specific Pokemon to use on competitive teams or what. I've never really been into competitive battling but idk maybe I'll give it a shot. Also I do want to hunt alt forms of Pokemon, like fire and water Tauros and Squawkabilly. Also it would be cool to have shinies of every form of Deerling and Sawsbuck.

Lying?

Game wouldn't let me connect to the servers, guess they're down or something. So I went to Medali and popped a fairy sandwich. Almost immediately shiny Dedenne. But then I found my true mark about 10 minutes later. Shiny Fidough. But, then! To top it off, with only a couple minutes to spare, marked shiny Dachsbun. Cinnamon the Opportunist! :D

@JoanOfArcade okay Im available.

As in "her chest, her bust, her zoomers"?

what?

Fuck this game lol

Pawmi outbreak. 60 KOs. Shiny sandwich. After an hour I dont see a single fucking shiny Pawmi. Except. Whats that?! Pink Pawmi spawned INSIDE the Pokecenter so its in this weird fucking limbo state where its there and I cant interact with it. Then as if to add insult to injury. I walk away defeated only to run directly into a random shiny Marill that I cant even see because its the same color of the grass. WTF.

Sometime tomorrow is fine no nickname needed. I got a few extras of shinys if you need gible, sneasel or flutter mane

Im available to trade now if you are

Which I don't understand how they did the treasure hunting levels in SA1 so much better than 2.

Yeah I think the most I've ever had was like 120~ something. Rouge and Knuckles levels are gonna suuuuuck

Actually for real I've been playing Sonic Adventure DX. Going for all the emblems. Unfortunately I cannot complete that goal because every time I go to the chao garden, it tells me the data is corrupted and to create a new chao garden. So I'm just stuck with 5 missing emblems. Gonna play SA2B on Steam, and hey maybe I'll actually get every emblem for once!

Friends, please! It's Christmas!

Oh I thought you couldn't give traded pokemon nicknames at all

Joke's on Santa, I already have a PS5

I got... nothing

So decided "fuck it, I have all this HM, might as well do some sandwich hunts"

In like 3 sandwiches I got:
Croagunk
Flamigo
Iron Jugulis
Kingambit
Lokix
Iron Bundle

And, also, @JoanOfArcade it's your lucky day, I found a random shiny Cetoddle while checking a raid den. I'll trade you some time tomorrow or whenever. Not tonight, gonna go to bed soon. If you want me to give it a nickname let me know.

We had prime rib, scalloped potatoes and green bean casserole. :D

Trust your feeling you've got to LIVE AND LEARN

Man that game was so awesome. Sonic was so fast and cool.

Merry Christmas

When was it released? When were they expected to vote on it? When was it supposed to be released? How long would it take to read?

Why didn't he just man up and read it? Is reading that difficult for him? Should a person that can't read be in our government?

Netflix really is just trying to be irrelevant aren't they.

Zoomers and boomers have caused all the problems in the world

This guy gets it

for everything wrong with society? Please. I need this.

Who cares what they think?

Never saw another Flamigo outbreak but got a Scyther outbreak which I had never seen before. Took a while but I managed to get the shiny so that was cool. I already have shiny Scyther and its evolutions from PLA but I thought it would be cool to get a Scizor in a nest ball.

Fuck this game lol I finally FINALLY got the Flamigo outbreak. I go there and no Flamigos. The fucking Flamigo outbreak doesnt spawn any Flamigos. WTF Game Freak?

Well if you happen to come across another shoot me a message

Will do

@Papercup you willing to trade a shiny cetoddle?

Sorry, Im not. The reason I get multiples of the shinies is so I can get one of every stage shiny for a complete shiny living dex

So I'm not like an expert at RTS but I know a bit: start out by improving your economy as fast as you can. IIRC SC2 tells you how many gathering units will optimize a resource node. I think it's 3 per geyser, and like 20-something for your starting crystals? Anyway you want to be recruiting your peons, while you also have 1 or 2 building a barracks or equivalent and supply buildings. You probably also want to send 1 out to go scouting. Don't fret if it dies. Then you want to start building your army. As you reach peak resource gathering at your main, you want to consider expanding to a nearby base to get more resources. You also want to build more barracks or equivalent to get even more army units out faster. Like 3-5 barracks is what you should aim for. Somewhere in there you should also do some research. Starcraft you can kind of think of as a really complicated game of rock-paper-scissors. In the campaign you're fine if you just do a weird amalgamation of random soldier and vehicles units, but if you know more about the game, you can look to see what your enemy has. "Oh they have x, that means I want y". Which also plays into the importance of scouting. If you can identify what your opponent is doing early, you can hopefully execute your counter before they become a threat. Really though just learn the ropes at your own pace. That's what the campaign is for, and also you can play against bots. Start simply play on like Easy or Normal. When you win, add another opponent. Keep adding opponents as you keep winning. Eventually go up a difficulty setting, start from 1 opponent again. When you win, fight 2 opponents, etc. etc. until you just can't progress any further. That's how I learned WC3 and SC2 waaay back in the day.

Yes

Yeah I noticed it on my phone and was like "the fuck? does my phone have a virus or something?" but nope it's here on my desktop too.

Yeah Oppenheimer looks like it's gonna be really good.

I was trying to evolve Pawmo and found a shiny Zorua.

Oooh nice!

Kimbo did I just get you in a link trade??? Their name was Kimbo and they instantly disconnected from the trade

So next weekend for Christmas there will be special 5-Star Delibird raids that supposedly drop lots of Tera shards.

Weekend after that for the new year there will be 7-Star fighting type Cinderace raids with the Mightiest Mark to celebrate the Year of the Rabbit.

Shiny Iron Hands and Iron Thorns. Also tried to hunt Varoom. Hunting Varoom sucks, they move too fast, the shiny looks barely any different, when they move it causes the game to freeze. It's absolutely awful. I found a shiny by accident cus the gold doesn't really stand out that much, and under certain lighting they all look gold. I just noticed the tailpipe looked weird and it sparkled when I touched it. Also when I was resetting the spawns I found I random shiny Rolycoly. Did not get a second Varoom.

I hate competitive games. Everyone is both stupid and toxic. "WhY wErEn'T yOu WiTh Us" Why did you engage without your full team when I was alone getting ganked and not a single one of you lifted a finger to come help when I asked, and I had to kill 2 of them by myself? And how TF did you lose a 4 v 2, and how is that at all my fault?

1 and 2 are really good. 3 is okay, it has moments. 4 I remember being bad and it was even worse than that. I was looking and was like Theres a fifth Pirates movie? And started watching it. I was like wow. This is bad. And got to the part with the blood moon and was like Wait this is familiar. Then I realized I actually did see this one in the theatre and I think what happened is its so bad my mind just erased the memory of it.

There was a puzzle in The Witness that everyone claimed was impossible to figure out, and people had to brute force the answer. Within about 5 minutes of finding said puzzle I figured out the solution all on my own.

Logged in just to do a few early morning raids. Immediately found a shiny Mankey. Right before I logged out, shiny Hoppip lol

Just used a Fairy sandwich. Shiny Iron Valiant and 2 shiny Tinkatinks. :D

Read the synopsis and then read your post.
It's funny.

Where can I find that? Cus I found like 3 different episodes that all claim to be the latest and I dont think any are what youre referring to

Judgmenl posted...

How many of you actually have seen the latest episode lol.

Bro I havent watched Pokmon in like 20 years lol

Ash still needs to replace Misty's bike.

Also calling it now, here's how it's going to go down. Ash will meet with Brock and Misty and catch up with them, Ash will use the earnings from the World Championship to buy Misty a new bike. Then he walks home with Pikachu all "can you believe it all started here? That's where we saw that Ho-Oh" He gets back to Pallet Town where the whole town is waiting for him, and he's greeted by his mom and Oak and all of the Pokemon he caught along the way. Time skip 15-20 years. A little boy/girl wakes up in what looks like Ash's room. "Agh! I'm late!" they run down the road in their pajamas to the old lab. Professor Gary is standing outside waiting for them. "Sorry. All my Pokemon went to children who were on time." They turn around. A man in a red cap is standing there. They hand the child a pokeball. "This was my best friend. And now, they'll be your best friend too." "Dad. Are you really giving me Pikachu?"

Cue a The End title card.

Pokmon doesnt have Angewomon. Methinks Pokmon wins.

Avatar was mid even back when it came out. I have no interest in a sequel.

Apparently Ash isn't going to be in the anime anymore :0 Apparently he only has 11 episodes left then they're introducing new protagonists.
