Doing a SR hunt for a Switch game on a Switch 2 isn't full odds because the Switch 2's faster load times give you an unfair advantage. That's basically like using speed-up on an emulator. You did 10k encounters for Arceus on a Switch 2? Get fucked, method hunter.
Nora's a filthy m*thod hunter for using multiple systems so all hunts she's associated with are illegitimate anyway
Literally one of the prettiest gen 3 shinies imo. The bright blue of the fur and the blood-red claws pop so much. Congrats!!
Encountering Darkrai on 2 DSes
Shiny Darkrai in Pokemon Platinum
I'm sorry for deceiving you all, my shiny Darkrai was actually method hunted because I used two systems. I shouldn't have considered it a 1/8192 shiny and I'm an elitist fraud who's gatekeeping people who can't afford two systems and two games for claiming it as such. 😔
Mr Krabs staring at a sign that says "0 days without nonsense"
Oh boy, time for the shiny hunting community's yearly "multi hunting isn't full odds" discourse
The Abandoned Ship!
I had talked to Hal to initiate the battle and saw that his name was Hal, and thought, "Haha it would be funny if the girl's name was Lois", and then it was.
I never knew about this because I had only played Emerald up until now, and their names were changed in Emerald lmao
Young Couple Lois and Hal in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, who share their names with the two parents from Malcolm in the Middle
There's a fucking Malcolm in the Middle reference in Ruby & Sapphire?? 😭
Screenshots from Brian David Gilbert's "Perfect Pokerap" video, from the section where Brian lists off Pokemon whose names sound like nicknames for weed. The pictures of every Pokemon also have marijuana leaves edited on top of them. In order, there is Pansage, Slowbro, Oddish, Bonsly.
Tropius, Seedot, Nuzleaf, Stunky
Blissey, Loudred, Dewgong, Goodra
Bounsweet, Bayleef, Hypno, Munna
4/20 shiny hunting challenge where a group hunts every Pokemon that's a nickname for weed in Brian David Gilbert's Perfect Pokerap
A series of screenshots from Pokemon Sapphire. An old man says, "For my Pokemon, I give them perfectly nicknames!"
An old woman (presumably the man's wife) says, "But giving the name Pekachu to a Pikachu? It seems pointless."
The old man's Pikachu (labeled as "Pekachu") says, "Peka!"
Underrated joke tbh
HOW TF had I *never* found a 1/8192 shiny until I started deliberately hunting them last year, yet I've now found TWO completely random ones in the course of this national dex quest?? 😭

If you see yourself here then you're officially cool in my book ✌️

Wife took a cute candid of me 🥰
9 eggs hatching at once in Pokemon Go
Big hope for WiWa is that they revamp Masuda method hunts by allowing you to gather eggs while hatching them again, and let multiple Pokemon hatch at the same time like in Pokemon Go
Shiny Scorbunny named "big dog" evolving into Raboot
He's my second shiny Scorbunny after having previously caught one in Paldea, so he'll be Raboot in my living dex. He's nicknamed "big dog" because my wife was playing Z-A and caught an alpha Fidough at the same time he hatched. 🐶
Fell a little behind with the community day hunts. Here's last month's - shiny Scorbunny after a quick 136 eggs!
Shiny hunting - or as the cool kids say, "shunting"
A Pokemon caught in the Unova region on Route 9
The exact catch location is still stored in the Pokemon's data (as long as it's from gen 5 or later). It's viewable in Pokemon Home:
My wife's character posing with shiny Cobalion
My wife @idlerainyday.bsky.social saw me hunting the legendaries in Z-A and decided they wanted to try hunting them too! I helped them set up the hunt for Cobalion and they got it! It's the first hunt for a specific target they've ever completed. I'm super proud! 🥰
every single day I pray that the Switch 2 security doesnt get broken before Winds and Waves comes out
even better if it never happens the entire Switch 2 life cycle so we get an entire system generation without day 1 datamining.. but at least just this one please
This was a joke I had posted years ago to my now-defunct Twitter that got basically zero traction. But I knew it was a good joke. Twitter's discoverability algorithm just sucks.
Glad to get the validation now that it was indeed a good joke.
Abbott and Costello
"Hey, what's the name of that Electric gym leader from Paldea? Y'know, the streamer girl?"
"Iono."
"Whaddya mean you don't know, you must've played that game for 500 hours."
"I DO know what her name is!"
"Well then, what is it?"
"Iono."
"You just told me you knew it!"
"AND I'M TELLIN YOU, IONO!"
Every game-specific Pokedex being complete in Pokemon Home
Oh yeah, that's what it's all about ✌️
Aaaand shiny Virizion after 275 encounters! The quintet is officially complete! 👏
I needed a Mega Dragonite for my team in Champions so I transferred Shadow Dragonite all the way up from XD solely for the flex of having the exclusive "the Triumphant" title for it
This is what immediately popped into my head when I saw this
Now there's a sentence that's never been spoken before in human history
She's nicknamed Lightning after Mountain Dew Sweet Lightning, to go with my Baja Blast Latios. 😊

My trainer posing with shiny Latias
Shiny Latias after 258 encounters! Home support being added for Z-A inevitably means a Home reward coming soon, so I figured I should go back and finish up the special scan hunts. This is my fourth out of the five - just Virizion to go now! :)

Wattson at least found it thrilling
