Cliu, I had to delete your latest post because it is best suited to VM Alex, you may wish to carry on your conversation with Alex via VM or PM. Thanks!
& also, I never tried getting a shiny starter, actually...I thought you hack in order to get one. O_o
Anyways, I am also here to welcome ShinyAlex. Because apparently I can see him shining all the way from the Roleplay Corner. xD Welcome to PC! I can agree there's a ton of Alex's here, including a very good friend of mine who is a moderator!
Keep on shining, Alex, and I hope to see you around teh forums, ok! See ya around and don't hesitate to PM me if you need any help. :D
