I cannot believe I am even saying this, but:

It is over.

This was the most grueling hunt I have ever done. I have SO MANY thoughts going through my head right now, so I'll come back to write them down later after I rest. 🧡💚💚🧡

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

SHINY EMERALD MUDKIP!!!
14285 eggs! I'm finally free from this egg-hatching hell of my own making! And it hatched whilst I was watching @cannedwolfmeat.standingintheodds.com new alien shiny hunting video.

I'm so happy!! It even has curse as an egg move.

And the second unlock Unova mythical dropped, just hours before the end of the event I took part in !! What a gorgeous shiny, and the Cherish ball is an AMAZING match, maybe second only to premier <3

SHINY SPIRITOMB IN PLATINUM AFTER ONLY 399 ENCOUNTERS YIPPEEEEEE

I unlocked this hunt by hanging out in the Underground with my favorite people in the shiny hunting community, and found it in my DTQ file. Such a special find. 💖

Shiny Slakoth in Pokémon Ruby after 7270 Encounters!

7270 Encounters, Phase 9 for a Dustox, and somehow the second low% encountered while going after one.

I wasn't really sure if i wanted to hunt last night (admittedly a horrible decision, i have 2 seminars i haven't prepared for today), but i got something out of it so :)

Such a lovely shiny, I'm tempted to make a 3rd DTQ to throw it on

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all.

What a wild day Fletch and I had, but after several hours of driving back and forth between several locations, we both have our legendaries! She'll be posting hers soon!

If you are hoarding Pokémon event codes to scalp then please unfollow me. The only excuse to ever get more codes than you need is to give them away for FREE to someone who otherwise couldn't get them. I don't want overinflated narcissistic egos in my circle. Do better

Update: I waited in line anyway just in case the store found their shiny codes. They did. There was a whole pile. I got to the front of the line and the manager took that pile and gave them ALL to some guys who came up on the side and skipped the line I WAS IN FOR FOUR HOURS

Mrs. Fletchling @shinyfletchling.bsky.social · 16d

Hey so this GameStop doesn't even have shiny codes. We've been here 4 hours. 🙂

breadbug @breadbug.standingintheodds.com · 16d

imagine making a pokemon as cool as koraidon and then shiny locking it and then making it a limited in person release only in specific countries and also release on the same day as a new tcg set so that all the codes go to scalpers and not fans of the game like how can a company be so out of touch

Some days I wonder why I'm still a Pokémon fan, when it's so obvious to everyone that they only care about what's in our wallets 😔

"see you in hell" nah i'll get there and there'll be a line cause i didn't die early enough and then the line will double in front of me because scalpers saved spots for their 10 people group

I will never understand why Gamestop in the US gets a set amount of code cards for these events causing stock issues and reselling.

In the UK and parts of Europe, for these events, the cash registers just print them out from their servers so they don't run out. It's much better.

With the shiny ride Pokémon distribution coming tomorrow, I now have an excuse to play through Scarlet! I still need Koraidon/Raging Bolt/Gouging Fire for my regular Living Dex! In addition, I will be continuing my shiny Fo3 Maushold hunt in this game in the near future!

My in-game character with scarlet hair (because he has violet-colored hair in Violet 😂)
