IT'S FINALLY OVER!!! SHINY MISDREAVUS AFTER 5,728 RE. After a grand total of 18 phases, 128,128 encounters and 4 months. It's finally over. I can move on. What a hunt.
Shiny Bulbasaur after 25,788 eggs! First of the Kanto trio via eggs ✨
Finally got him after needing to make several new batches of eggs and swap them via Pokemon Box! Kinda hoped for the Hoenn hatch but just relieved it's done...
(133/389 - Gen 3 Shiny Living Dex)
Finished my GBA SP modding spree!
8 x controller modded set up with some beautiful looking shells and IPS V5 screens
Had to do some serious work on two beat up SPs due to water damage, blown fuses and broken power switches. All fixed up, hopefully many shinies will be found!
Shiny Net Ball Shadow Suicune in Colosseum after 9,551 resets!!!
1 year, 1 month, and 16 days.
Over 1050 hours of hunting.
All from a single Gamecube.
My longest, most challenging, and most fulfilling shiny hunt to date. So incredibly proud of this one!
George Carlin in 2005:
"They don't want people smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago."
He died in 2008. Nothing changed.
