Hey all!
Forgive me, but it's really hard to remember everyone's names. Congratulations on the two Flora's, the extremely late Chimchar, Miss Goofball Alessa, and the disliked Scyther. And anyone else I have forgotten. There's been an awful lot of success lately, so here's hoping the others who haven't had success will be next.
Dan, Slugma is being a pain, but you'll get it. We know you will. It is maddening when the hunt goes over the odds. How are you collecting the eggs? When I hunt, I collect eggs in batches of 3, 4 or 5 boxes, save the game, and then reset and collect another batch, until all the boxes are full. I usually do this with different Pokemon each time, just so that there's not the risk of getting multiples of the same Poke. You have to do it the way you enjoy it, I suppose, and might even do it that way already. Good luck!
Calamity ... Embrace your shiny, warts and all! Like it for how unique it is! If you don't like me saying that, I'm sorry. I just think that it's awesome to get a shiny in 500+ eggs, so focus on that. All those "blemishes" make it more unique, I suppose!
Let me know if I've been rude and forgotten about your latest shiny capture. It wasn't my intention.
So, here's Shazam all grown up and EV trained to beat up some Johto and Kanto gym leaders.
Well, here's my latest news.
Thankfully the old man and his wife spared this particular egg. Late last night I was hatching eggs and listening to music, so I didn't notice immediately that a shiny had hatched from within the 1064th egg. When I did look over to cancel the nickname option, I literally did get a shock. It really took me off-guard this time.
I am totally in love with this chick. I think her little following sprite is so cute. (I sound totally like a girl right now!)
Polly is just a stand-in name until I think of something else, like Crackers or Aria or Gusto or Poopy. I am struggling for a nickname for a female ... I'll have to think about it some more tomorrow.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and good luck with any of your current hunts, guys ... and gals!
