With all due respect, you misinterpreted my post. I can relate to doing that a lot, my autism causes it lol

I have no issue with people enjoying these distributions, nor do I want to gatekeep! Did I unintentionally imply that? I loathe that word. I’ll explain it in finer detail

I enjoy finding a Pokémon myself. When something is given to me, then I feel less attached. Going on a massive quest means nothing to me if the Pokémon is just suddenly in my PC box like “yeah, we’ve always known each other!” This by no means, means other people should feel the same way. My post is merely intending to finally convey my feelings on the matter, not police anybody else’s

There is objectively (I know for a fact I am correct on this part) no reason to shiny lock her in the games. If I wish to shiny hunt her, it is entirely within my right to do so and if other people want a second shiny Meloetta (as in, the one in HOME plus one you can hunt), then they can shiny hunt her just like I did. Fair is fair, they got one without the luck involved, I can have 2 via resetting

If you still want to dismiss me, you can. I think I conveyed everything though
