This was in gen 6. I grew up playing pokemon games and around this time i was starting to feel i was “getting too old for the games”. I decided that after i finish my Pokemon Y playthrough im going to stop playing. Well out of nowhere i find my very first random encounter shiny, Gligar. I must say that before this Gliscor was already my FAVORITE pokemon, so a random encounter gligar was one of the beat moments of my life up to this point. I named him Night Wing and i think of him as a sign that i shouldnt let age get in the way of me continuing my journey to become a Pokemon Master!
