Donkey Kong Bananza is very fun. I can't help myself. Completionism. It fuels me.

1 hour 57 in game minutes between shinies, not bad at all. I was looking for cufant when this fella showed up, not complaining though I don't enjoy hunting in this area.

I'm using time to measure hunts as opposed to encounters because encounter tracking in scarvi is annoying and impractical.

Finally, after exactly 10 hours, I have gotten my next shiny. I really love grimer so I'm super glad I got my target on this one. On to the next one!

100 minutes later, I accidentally find a shiny tauros. Well, I was purposely ko-ing all the tauros in the area because I was scared I was gonna fail one. Turns out, I was right to be anxious. On to the next one.

That was very quick. Just over an hour of in game time but I was hunting for literally a few minutes. I had an actual target this time and I'm very happy to say Swablu was the target. I've been very lucky in this badge quest.

No shiny charm btw <3

1 hour and 23 minutes, another very quick section? Will the next one be the same? Probably. My shiny team is very basic but Skiddo is one I actually really wanted so I'm glad.

This is all full odds by the way.

Very quick one after that long one, I was still deciding if I wanted to attempt to go for anything in particular. Not complaining about 1 hour 2 minutes between shinies after the last one though. On to the next one.

9 Hours and 45 minutes and the next shiny is here. Had a rock type encounter on because I wanted Klawf (or nacli) but it just wasn't meant to be. The gap between these badges is short, on to the next one.

Second shiny of my badgequest, Mareep after 5 hours and a minute of playtime. Katy was obviously very easy. I am still stunnes by how beautiful the game is now.

Ok, I lied. I got a switch 2. Its worth it, Scarvi finally look good. Better than good, great.

Anywho, Shiny Fletchling at 48 in game minutes on a shiny only playthrough of Violet (also my first time playing Violet).

Wright as in Phoenix Wright.

Did not impulse buy the switch 2 and accusations of such will be met with a severe grumpy face and attitude

Absolute state of this.

You've brought 140 little maus children in to the world, think of all the wonders you're doing for Paldea's population.

This one. Was not. Particularly. Easy.

Roxanne required grinding to level 20 something, however doing so let me max out my attack evs so it wasn't so bad. Cycling Road may was also tricky. Tate and Liza took hours of grinding. League took a fair amount of resetting.
