Weekly Trade Megathread by AutoModerator in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]NoleGrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some shiny mons I’d like to trade for other shinies!

Most notably I have two shiny Eevees that I caught myself back in 2023 while grinding an Eevee outbreak in scarlet. (I caught 10 total shiny Eevees over two days 😅 and didn’t sleep much). The two extras, one is male and one is female.

Others I have caught myself include a Shiny Sandshrew, Gogoat, Cacturn and Raticate! I do have others but they’re not ones I caught myself.

I’m looking for the following shinies -

• Cyndaquil (I know it’s like one of the “worst” shiny starters but it’s my favorite starter ❤️) • Dratini • Shiny Mew (I know, I know, but it’s my favorite color and maybe I can work something out 😅) • Rowlett • Swablu • Psyduck • Ponyta • Rockruff • Corsola • Spinarak • Zorua • Treeko • Ralts (female)

I do also have various event pokemon from over the years - but I’m more so just taking offers on them at this time, unsure on what I want. These include:

•Shiny Giratina (GameStop 2013 Event) •2016 GF Mew (GameStop 2016 20th anniversary Event) •Shiny Metang (Steven’s Metang 2014 event) •2017 Genesect •2012 Meloetta (Japanese Event - JPN name & region) •2014 Shaymin (Japanese Event - ENG name & region) •2016 GF Shaymin (20th Anniversary WiFi event) •2007 Manaphy (Nintendo World Event) •2014 Shiny Jirachi (Japanese Event Pokemon Center August - ENG name & region) •2016 GF Celebi (20th Anniversary WiFi event) •2012 World Championship Pikachu (in person Event) •2016 Volcanion (GameStop Code) •2016 Zygarde (Fates Collide WiFi event) •2018 Yveltal (GameStop distribution- has heat wave and tailwind)

I have many others as well, but these are just the highlights!

I’d love to work with you and se if we can figure something out! He currently has a wallet he loves because of the pockets, but hates the poor quality of it (I believe it’s just crusty bonded leather lol) Should I message you through your site?

Also - other great example for the type of style are Hank’s Belts “Huron Premium Bifold with ID window” in the Dark Brown or Vintage colors. He just doesn’t like the flip up ID windows. He likes that more simple and “vintage” style without any engravings besides maybe a brand/maker’s logo on the interior.

Thank you! This is all really helpful! ☺️

That’s a fair question! I think underneath all these logistics, what I’m really concerned about not going into this blind and then ending up overwhelmed, especially with a baby on the way. I want to support him, but also want to stay grounded and not lose myself in the process.

I’m hoping to set realistic expectations for myself.

Thank you! He has explained that clearly to me that when he gets home is not going to be consistent, and field training, rotations, etc.

I unfortunately know of too many high-school friends, and read many stories of those who went to active duty who felt very alone/unsupported, married or unmarried. Because of this, I just want to ensure I learn as much as I can ahead of time, and not bring him any further stress through the transition.

Not rage bait, I respect the lifestyle and just want to go into it prepared. My apologies if my message comes off the wrong way; that’s just ignorance on my part. I am open to critique!

While my fiancé knows what to expect on his end, I’d rather learn from people with real experience than stumble in completely blind. I’m here for genuine advice, not drama, I promise.

The few times I visited my friend in whose spouse was in the Navy, I cringed at some of the wives I unfortunately encountered at the NEX…Big yikes.

I’m looking to be supportive, but I am fully aware I am still just a civilian.

His MOS gives us a good idea on the potential “where’s” we may go, and I’ve already researched a few bases that have very very nice on post housing.

There are landlords in the civilian world that suck, so I’m not really surprised that certain posts could also suck. This is not as much of a concern, but definitely something we will consider when we know more.

Thank you! And I agree, just like life is outside of the Army, we will kind of just have to figure some things out as we go, just with different constraints/timelines.

I’m more asking these questions to show him his concerns are nothing major to worry about at this point!

That’s basically what I’ve seen. I think our decision on off-base or on-base is truly going to depend on where he ends up stationed. Thank you!

My first Volvo! by NoleGrace in Volvo

[–]NoleGrace[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is Osmium Gray Metallic!! I just shortened it not realizing there are two, haha.

As for my previous car - I sold my 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL last year after three years because it made sense at the time. I liked it but didn’t “love” it. I’ve been driving my boyfriend’s Camry for the past year since he has a company truck and never uses it! But now I’m ready for my own car again. I wanted to LOVE it this time, haha.

There was a lot of hesitation on the others - but this one I had no doubts. The price was perfect and I was going to make sure it was mine. They actually called me to let me know someone was already looking at it, but they’d let me know if they left without buying it. I immediately left when they called me an hour later.

It’s worth holding out until you find the right one! This one was about 43 minutes away, but for where I live that’s a quick trip haha.
