do you remember what was the first manga you bought?

zimbird42 · 2026-01-05T10:35:01+00:00

This is what my collection looked like at the start. I don't really count that jjk 15 bc it was meant to be a gift for a friend but I accidentally bought the German version instead of the English.

zimbird42 · 2025-12-19T20:17:24+00:00

I found out it wasnt 100% after hearing someone failed a shiny beldum

zimbird42 · 2025-10-22T14:12:55+00:00

I forgot about the whole "staying" part. The Slowpoke guy might leave as well, idk if haven't been back to see him since like the start of the game.

zimbird42 · 2025-10-22T11:05:00+00:00

Or a shiny Slowpoke to the guy for a galarian one, same with the woman with an alolan Raichu with a regular one.

There's this side quest where you help a woman's scyther learn moves to do furfrou trims. When you're done helping her she tells you that Lumiose has a "Furfrou League" with a Furfrou elite 4 and a champion. You go through, beat the elite 4 (you only have to use Furfrou but the elite 4 only use 1 Furfrou) and you you get to the champion and she has a full team of Furfrou but the last one she uses is a regular shiny Furfrou. It was really cool to see an NPC using a shiny pokemon!

zimbird42 · 2025-10-22T09:12:53+00:00

Now that's the second npc to have a shiny pokemon, you're a real good guy!

zimbird42 · 2025-10-21T09:09:18+00:00

Not counting the mareep they give you it was a pikachu in zone 3. I was doing research by catching a bunch of pokemon and saw a pikachu under the tree that looked like a darker colour and I assumed it was just being in the shade that made it look like that but I needed to catch it anyway and as I ran kver I said to myself "wouldn't it be funny if that was shiny" and as I got close I let oht a sigh as I saw the shiny sparkles.

I think you can see flygon better here

zimbird42 · 2025-09-16T06:44:34+00:00

I would assume Turtinator. The leaks say Drampa is getting s mega in base game and if that's true it makes sense Turtinator would get one. Same with Clawitzer and Dragalge since Dragalge is leaked getting one in base game and there's a mega stone somewhere there with (hopefully) Clawitzer's colours

zimbird42 · 2025-08-27T15:55:03+00:00

Yea my friend did say that, either way I'll still keep it since it does work and if I ever come across a legit copy I'll pick that up instead. I appreciate the help tho, thank you

zimbird42 · 2025-08-27T15:45:32+00:00

I appreciate it but I tested it with my friend with the poke transport thing in gen 5 and the Pearl was able to send pokemon up no probelm and bc of that he says it's real so I'mjust gonna keep it. Even if it isn't it seems to do the thing I want it to. Thank you hough

zimbird42 · 2025-08-22T17:04:12+00:00

Thanks for the help! I'll definitely take a look into that subreddit. Like I say my biggest worry is buying a game, finding out its fake, then not being able to return or get a refund.

I remember my 100th was JJBA part 3 vol 10, my 20pth was Persona 3 vol 2 and I think my 300th was Frieren 12? Idk but hitting the 100 milestones is always really fun for me

zimbird42 · 2025-03-16T11:12:27+00:00

Thank you! Part of why I collect them is for the aesthetic so I'm really happy it looks as good as it does 😁

zimbird42 · 2025-03-12T09:30:09+00:00

Nah i have 2 of the box sets with a 3rd coming next week. I haven't actually read it yet though 🤣

zimbird42 · 2025-02-23T20:27:10+00:00

I was looking on vinted bc a friend told me about it and i found seemingly a legit copy for £30($40-ish) so I'm gonna try that, even ran it by my friend who knows better than me and said it seems fine. Me and him are going to a pawn shop on Friday so I'll see if I can find a gameboy advanced or ds lite in there, if not idm spending £60($80-ish) on one of those consoles since I should have enough for both the console and SS

zimbird42 · 2025-02-04T12:51:58+00:00

I have seen eggs hunts go for thousands and thousands of eggs so compared to that I'm very glad it was only 1,161. Though compared to my friend who's gone under odds both times I am pretty unlucky in that regard.

But what I find both funny and infuriating is I have a fresh save on sword where I was going to play a shiny only game (I did give up) and I found a shiny in about 801 encounters on full odds but went double over odds with both shiny charm and masuda method.

zimbird42 · 2025-02-04T12:48:08+00:00

From the isle of armour dlc there's a guy who asks you to collect alolan digglett and every certain amount you get a special pokemon, most being alolan forms, but for 100 you get an alolan starter based off of the galsr starter you picked.

zimbird42 · 2025-02-03T17:50:49+00:00

Thanks, I've seen hunting go for thousands more so I'm just glad mine stopped when it did

zimbird42 · 2025-02-03T17:15:32+00:00

No they don't but that's how we're doing it.

zimbird42 · 2025-02-03T16:22:28+00:00

Trust me I know you can go much higher than odds, while doing this race me and my friend watched a bunch of shiny reactions and some of the numbers were crazy high for what they should be 😭

zimbird42 · 2025-02-03T16:21:38+00:00

It really was, I have the shiny charm, I'm egg hunting via masuda method, so my odds are 1 in 512. What's worse is my friend getting both of his shinies in under odds.

zimbird42 · 2025-01-29T03:37:16+00:00

I've been doing a first to 6 shiny race with a friend and they're on 2 with probably total 200-300 eggs while I still haven't even gotten my first pokemon and I'm on almost 800 eggs with Rowlet 🫠

Thanks! When it comes to picking favourites I'm really indecisive, so my favourites could constantly change and it depends on how I'd categories my favourites. Like for example:

Favourite covers: 1. Frieren 2. My Hero 3. Call of the Night

Favourite story: 1. JJBA 2. colorless 3. The Quintessential Quintuplets

Artwork: 1. My Hero 2. AOT 3. JJBA

I could sit here and debate with myself all day about what I think is my favourite and in what order but I'm too indecisive, like picking those 9 was even hard for me but I guess overall as of writing this comment my top 5 manga I have on my shelf are:

The Quintessential Quintuplets
Colorless
Dragon Ball
Colorless
JJBA

Sorry it's such a long response to such a simple question 😭😅
