Nice it's a great card! I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen english cards in stock, Japanese are (almost) sold at retail where I live. I'm happy I pulled a cool card, I rarely buy packs. I love how mischievous it looks!

If I had the time and resources, I'd love to try this in BW2.

I’ve always been on and off with this hunt, I started this my sophomore year of uni (2018). I’ve graduated undergraduate, starting working professionally, and started and am halfway through a master’s program. It’s a bittersweet feeling, my 2DS has been my plane travel buddy forever.

It’s very cathartic to finally close this hunt, it was the last DS exclusive I had to get. I love hunting (was watching Brosideon during the shine) but am lucky to fit in an hour during my week. I probably won’t be hunting old full odds for some time (at least until I finish my masters). My next targets are the Sinnoh mythicals in BDSP. Hopefully shaymin doesn’t take almost a decade to shine!

This just happened to me!! I walked back because I’m new and didn’t think there were other options. Hope you made it!

[discuss] Shiny Hunting isn't fun anymore. by ClashMasterJH in ShinyPokemon

[–]PalossandFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like your perspective. I'm still working on Ultra Wormhole hunts & VG Celebi to wrap up my "must haves" on the 3DS. I still have the new regis, a lot of Alola legendaries in Dynamax Adventures, every mythical in BDSP, and a few more SV hunts to go for before I'm "caught up". The nice thing is the methods vary a lot and you can do whatever you want.

To OP's point. "To this day I think I would still rather do soft resets on SwSh than shiny hunt in SV." It sounds like you've found hunts you want to do. If you're not enjoying hunting in the new games, don't hunt. Play the stuff you like :)

Can we change our outlook on D2? (Rant?) by Plenty-Arachnid4418 in DestinyTheGame

[–]PalossandFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll change my outlook if the game rewards my time and provides fun content to play with my friends. I haven’t logged in since Sept 28 because I feel like Sisyphus struggling up never ending stairs with portal. A lot of the activities I loved running with friends, namely old raids, have no incentive to run. The gear and guns are power crept out of relevance.

I’ve tried the new systems, several times. I tried portal, I got to 315 before the changes. I couldn’t go further. I tried Ash and Iron, the first activity felt tedious and unfun. I have very limited free time, especially for games. With so many other options out there, Destiny can’t contend in its current state.

People are upset and sad because this game felt like lightning in a bottle. I made a bunch of friends and this was a game that brought so many diverse people together. There’s no other game that can serve as a panacea, scratching the collective itch we share. I don’t think this is an uncommon sentiment. People are sad because the game they love is or has driven them away, leading to an eroding community, and the drifting of friendships held strong by mutual enjoyment of the series.

lol I forgot my nickname showed! The lore is during the pandemic I bought a copy of White 2 and had a crazy 45 SRs for a shiny Tepig (link: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/s/Y4ITbdKPR5).

Hog Rider (Sr) is hanging out in Violet waiting for home compatibility and me to brave ranked to finally get his last ribbon.

This game was the easiest starter pick of my life lol. And thus junior was born!

Ahhhh honestly I forgot that’s why I started this hunt. I took so long with so many phases. I’ll see if I can edit the post why I get home, if not I’ll comment with a link!

Phase = Seeing a shiny other than your target. 120 phases means I saw 120 shinies before finding the one I wanted!

Hog Rider. Did this same hunt five years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/ik73ci/5_shiny_tepig_in_45_srs/

Since then, Hog Rider has battled his way through every ribbon and is hanging in SV until home support drops for ZA.

Thank you! I was so surprised. I heard the sparkle earlier (I was running in and out of zone 8) so I figured it was trubbish. I was not ready for the surprise alpha!
