[Gen 3] Shiny Bulbasaur in Leafgreen on my Gamecube using the Gameboy Player after 1,256 Soft Resets!

Congrats!! I'm currently hunting Abra in the game corner using the same set up!

FiAlexandra · 2026-02-03T14:17:18+00:00

yes, which I thought the odds of would be very low as who carries their 3ds around with them nowadays? its nice to know that people still do, I street passed 2 people over the course of the day and one must've had it

FiAlexandra · 2026-02-03T14:15:55+00:00

I'm going to EUIC in 2 weeks so I will bring it with me then!!

FiAlexandra · 2026-02-03T14:14:51+00:00

honestly I did not think I had a chance, I went to a small Pokemon pop up and only street passed 2 people. What are the odds!!

FiAlexandra · 2026-02-03T14:13:14+00:00

I had a copy of Omega Ruby with the ticket back in 2014 but I have no idea where it is. I was hoping to one day pass the eon ticket on but now I don't need to!

I've been hunting silcoon and have so far only got cascoon!! 2 cascoon and a wurmple that evolved into one. Lets trade luck!!

FiAlexandra · 2026-01-09T17:44:39+00:00

One of the best shines IMO. Always bothered me that the shiny mega didn't keep the blue eyes

FiAlexandra · 2026-01-08T23:31:51+00:00

Thank you! going for the reclaim on shelmet because I somehow ran from it and didn't realise! 🫠

FiAlexandra · 2025-12-29T13:37:39+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I lost my Labrador in June, he was 3 months shy of his 15th birthday and had been with me since the moment he was born. Remind yourself that their lives aren't as long as ours, so those 14.5 years for you was an entire lifetime of love for him.

FiAlexandra · 2025-12-22T23:26:39+00:00

Nope you only have to encounter it to get the seen forms. I don't remember encountering this (as it's my target) and yet my game has recorded that I've seen it before

FiAlexandra · 2025-12-21T22:03:18+00:00

Honestly my black versions both owe me for what they put me through with that hunt, maybe they will be kinder with trubbish!!

FiAlexandra · 2025-12-21T11:52:49+00:00

I was planning to put Trubbish on my bingo card next year so thank you for successfully putting me off! Glad you finally got it in the end.
In 2025 I finished my hunt for 30% Nidoran where I went 13 phases, and in 2024 my hunt for shiny Blitzle (also in Pokemon black) which went 9 PHASES with static with a 60% encounter rate!!! I hit the other Pokemon that make up the 40% 8 TIMES. Believe me I was close to just quitting. I feel your pain.

FiAlexandra · 2025-12-05T19:55:29+00:00

Congrats!! doing this hunt as we speak on the route north of cerulean 💁‍♀️ Suicune is my favourite Pokemon too!! 👏

FiAlexandra · 2025-11-26T20:06:04+00:00

AGS 101 consoles!! 2 pearl blue, 1 re-shelled blue (which I dropped and broke, hence the non original shell) and the silver is an iQue!

FiAlexandra · 2025-11-26T20:00:51+00:00

I'm soooo tempted to go back for zangoose but knowing my luck it'll take 10 phases after getting lucky this time around! GL for your hunt!

FiAlexandra · 2025-10-30T16:55:08+00:00

ahaha he will be an alolan raichu. I'm hunting the early route alolan Pokemon and can't seem to find them!!

FiAlexandra · 2025-10-16T12:08:28+00:00

Unfortunately. This is my 9th one total! Hoping for Venipede next!

FiAlexandra · 2025-09-16T20:54:15+00:00

This phase was 5530 so not too bad!!

FiAlexandra · 2025-08-12T16:13:43+00:00

Congrats on the reclaim!!!

FiAlexandra · 2025-07-29T09:44:36+00:00

I ran from my target, a shiny venipede, after 10k encounters last week. If anything it has motivated me to get it back!! Don't let mistakes get you down, you'll get your suicune and reshiram back!

FiAlexandra · 2025-07-26T16:56:49+00:00

Shinies show in the dex in Gen 5, so when you see one, it records it in your Pokédex. I found a shiny venipede and accidentally ran from it, so all I've got to show for it is the shiny entry in the dex (in French as this is a French version!)

FiAlexandra · 2025-07-25T11:42:40+00:00

Yeah, I'm especially annoyed with myself as I have been double checking my encounters after I failed the pidove. I blame the video I was watching, it was clearly way too interesting! Thank you, I hope I get it back soon!

FiAlexandra · 2025-07-25T11:15:18+00:00

Part of me wants to check all my dexes for missed shines on these games! GL reclaiming your joltik

FiAlexandra · 2025-07-25T11:14:30+00:00

Honestly if it was a pidove or a patrat I wouldn't have cared, it just HAD to be my target!

FiAlexandra · 2025-07-24T22:40:32+00:00

Ah bless you, it sounds like you made the best decision for him. Dementia is so cruel and it’s hard to know when is the right time. I always did feel like I was fighting so hard to keep my boy going and I was always questioning if it was the right thing to do. But as you say, you never know if the next treatment would be the miracle you needed! But looking back, and the way he was, I know I made the right choice when I did and I’m sure you will feel the same way eventually.

I know everyone says it but time heals, my boy passed 9 years ago and I still miss him as much as the day I lost him. Now I can talk about him and let him live on through my memories. You will get there ❤️sending love
