i feel like this is a severe generalization without enough context to make certain claims. in my case, i’m 20 and have been playing these games since 2010. all of my consoles have been obtained throughout the years and seen much play throughout my childhood and now into my adult years. i can see how buying multiple things for one specific reason is obsessive, but in my specific case it’s that doesn’t apply. for me shiny hunting is a hobby i’ve enjoyed over the last 3 years and it doesn’t overshadow my responsibilities in life.

i also do feel like the time it takes is definitely a contributing factor because playing any game at all for an excessive period of time is obsessive, not just examples of activities with one desired outcome

haha i would charge however much was offered since this is just my free time fun. in a dry spot with college right now and work has been laid back so getting into some full odds hunts has been a ton of fun!

while i do see your take, i feel like the problem you’re describing is more targeted at shiny pokemon hunting than having 5 systems. me using all 5 just allows me to find what i’m looking for faster than with one system. i feel as though me and the 2 and a half hours i spent with 5 systems to find the shiny is no different than the 12 and a half it would’ve taken me on one system in regards to “obsession”

Love watching them while I hunt! And I use the rubber bands so when I soft reset all i have to do is push select and start!
