    I am probably more of a console game, but what I enjoyed the most on handhelds is Pokemon, no doubt about it. That explains why you missed out on GC and Wii. I still have my N64 and it should still be functioning (it was last year, tho had to re-insert a cartridge many times to make the N64 load the game lol).

    Alright, I will go online now. So iirc: Random Mon <--> UwU renaming (trading twice so you get it back). Then one trade: Random Mon + Dream Ball <--> Venipede + Safety Googles.

    I was checking my inboxes a few times but not yet. (S)he'll probably reply within a few days, until then I'll hold onto that Repeat Ball Shiny Luxray.

    I tend to prefer handhelds yea. I never intended to buy a switch. Then heard about the switch lite which was a new handheld version , and I was just like; welp, guess we b getting a switch then xD Never had a gamecube or Wii either. I did have a SNES and N64 like way back though (RIP both of you).

    I'll just keep breeding till you're done with dinner. Just did a shiny trade I replied to here on the forum.
    Another sidenote: my laptop's keyboard is getting bad, it keeps eating some of my letters (most notably the J). And the Del key does fudge all anymore xD

    Did celestial reply to you yet, by PM? (S)he was quite responsive in that thread initially, but not so much anymore lately. Though (S)he is working on completing her pokedex again for the shiny charm.

    Yes. If you want (and if it is okay with you), I can go online in 20 min. Gonna eat dinner now?
    Maybe a Shiny Feebas will hatch in the next 15 minutes xD

    I see. Well if this is your prefered way of playing then it's also good :)

    lol I take it you caught a wild malamar then? I actually evolved an inkay to get malamar for my pokedex ^^
    Feebas is being stingy: 600 eggs hatched already and nothing, filling my boxes back up again lol
    I'll hop online on my switch if you're still here.

    Also on a sidenote: i have a switch lite, so docked mode isn't a thing for me lol

    I should be online here again in about 30-60 minutes, just to let you know if you want to do the trades tonight.

    Really? Naaah, I'm not falling for this one xD *checks Serebii* Okay, I take that back haha. Not sure about you, but I play 99% of my time in Docked Mode, so it never occured to me to try this out xD I think I may have tried it once but I can't remember. When it comes to gimmicky evolutions then this is definitely one of the better ones (looking at you, Milotic and Tyrogue).

    That one still applies. Need to hold you switch upside down now instead of a 3ds.
    I did manage to get a Milotic in Emerald. It cost me many hours and I was just like 'OMG NEVER AGAIN!!'
    Gotta find that 1 or 2 tiles that Feebas can be rarely fished on, then do some painstaking beauty contest crap with pokeblocks for a Milotic.... like.. Trade evolve ftw =D

    Haha, seems like you got a new nickname for the future shiny Espeon xD

    That's cool. Same here, but instead of a national holiday I got two days off from work (today & tomorrow). Still have some stuff to do, so that has a higher priority for the next few hours.

    Yes, shiny Milotic looks nice :) Oh boy, I wonder how many kids have ever managed to catch one Feebas, yet alone evolve one xD
    Good thing these gimmicky evolutions are far inbetween. A cool one imo is Inkays, where you had to turn the 3DS upside down to evolve it to Malamar, according to the information online.

    'congratulations, your shiny eevee evolved into a vomiteon! Would you like to box this abomination? ' *just barely manages clicking 'yes please! ' before being blinded by it*
    xD

    Today's a day off work due to a national holiday so I'm pretty much free all day.
    It's not a day off breeding though, im breeding my level ball feebas to get a shiny to evolve it into shiny milotic.
    Shiny milotic is just pretty =D
    Whereas purple shiny feebas is just like, still ugly lol
    Guess they stuck with the theme; feebas = ugly, milotic = beautiful
    I'm actually glad they made it a trade evo in this case. The gen 3 thing with maxing beauty was such a freaking pain in the butt xD

    Interesting how our opinion can change 180 when we see a shiny in front of ourselves xD When it comes to colour palettes, then I think that the 2D sprites (up to Gen 5) made a better job then the 3D models. The colours looked more vibrant and fitting back then, now they look a little bit washed out. But I guess you get used to it sooner or later.

    Maybe they wanted to create a poison-type Eeveelution ("Vomiteon") and just messed up everything pretty badly xD

    The main reason I never traded for a shiny vaporeon was because it didn't seem like a very nice shiny. Whenever there was one up for trade I'd look at it on serebii and be like ugh... not a great shiny.
    My opnion on it has completely changed now that I've seen it on my own screen though, it actually looks really nice to me and I quite like it. I guess it's one of those mons you need to see for yourself.

    Lightning blue jolteon could've been sick depending on implementation. Pink espeon could work if they choose a pink tone not too close to it's normal purple color. These are all hypotheticals anyway, its not like GF is ever gonna adjust them xD
    Personally I feel shiny espeon should just have a softer color, who knows, a softer green might work too. Just the Green they actually gave it is so flippin ugly xD

    I think I forgot to reply on the Shiny Breeding part, so lemme do this quickly: I always have my Steam Engine Coalossal (aka. "Brugo") in my team, because I often breed pokemon (or atleast used to). I will use the german Ditto in the daycare - I think that when I bred my Shiny Scorbunny I also used a foreign Ditto which I most likely accidently released many months later lol. And funny enough, days later I recieved a Japanese Ditto via Suprise Trade, so I have another one if I want to breed multiple Pokemon xD

    Oh boi, does shiny Luxray look pretty in person :O And the list of the ones I'd like to have shiny one day (besides the Gen 2 ones and the Gen 4 Skorupi) seems to increase :O (Garbador, Relicanth, Luxray...).

    Oh, I see. It's one of those items. Come to think of it, I may have snatched one or two from the market. But yeah, certain items seem to be impossible to get, like the Black Belt in Sword (atleast for me).

    You're right. Doing all shiny Eevees in a row is too much and I think it would kill your will to continue really fast. Well, atleast Serebii tried xD

    I think a pink Espeon and a lighting-blue Jolteon would be awesome. Come to think of it, I watched a YT video of someome making three shiny variants of certain shiny Pokemon he disliked and let the chat vote the winner. It showed how you never can please anyone, so yeah. But GF could've atleast changed those shinies that are widely considered ugly by the community.

    Flareon looked suprisingly good when I saw it as your offer :O Before that I thought that it was just okay. I agree with you that Glaceon and Leafeon look way too close to their OG form. They could've done a little bit more with it, like Snow-white Glaceon or Leafeon with yellow or pink leaves (the latter one would be indirectly inspired by Sakura Trees). Also I agree with Umbreon - it's one of those examples where subtle changes can make a pokemon very cool looking. For Vaporeon (and purple water type shinies in general): Personally, I would prefer a different color, like dark blue. Pink/Purple doesn't remind me that much of water/ocean (tho I have to say: Kingdra is an exception, it's dark purple looks good on it).

    No problem. I will check back again here on evening tonight, at around 9-10 PM, so we could do the trade then if you're up for it.

    The 2 on the antrant can stay imo, shouldnt be much of a problem.
    I'm ready to trade yea, but I sort of went to do some other stuff for the evening to break up all my recent breeding xD

    Seems the protective Pads are random from the Bargain Shop.... explains why I don't have them I guess. I barely ever check it rofl

    Its the same pic I used to have... just updated. Idk why the forums decided to eat it at some point. Maybe there's smething with my switch screenshot dump facebook account I had it uploaded to, idk I never even check the thing anymore rofl. Uploaded this one directly to the forum.

    The old pic had 2 crosses where glaceon and vaporeon were. Also there were no balls on the pic. Basically, I have all shiny eeveelutions now, but the one with the balls are the ones I shiny bred myself. I will probably end up doing all of them, but it's gonna be spread out because I don't wanna do all of them in a row rofl.
    Serebii didn't have a good pic for the sport ball so I ended up picking a pic for it form somewhere else. For some reason serebii's sport ball pic is just a pokeball with an S on it (which is not what it looks like at all rofl).

    Worst... I kinda hate shiny espeon and jolteon's colors tbh. Such ugly green colors.
    But, if you really like distinct shinies like me; shiny glaceon, leafeon and flareon are really close to their normal versions and could be considered bad too.
    But imo, while those three arent very distinct shinies, I still like them. They are just more vivid than their normal forms.
    Wheras shiny espeon's green color makes me wanna barf. I will most likely still shiny breed it... but it aint ever leaving its box xD Shiny Jolteon pretty bad too tho, but that really bright green on espeon I really do not like.

    So imo, from worst to best shiny:
    Bad:
    -9th place: Shiny Espeon (horrendous green)
    -8th place: Shiny Jolteon (also an ugly greenish yellow, but not as bad as Espeon)
    Mediocre (could be better, but arent bad per se):
    -7th place: Shiny Flareon (too close to normal Flareon)
    -6th Place: Shiny Leafeon (too close to normal Leafeon)
    -5th Place: Shiny Glaceon (too close to normal Glaceon, but Glaceon is my fav mon so gets bonus points over Flareon & Leafeon regardless xD)
    Good Shinies:
    -4th Place: Shiny Eevee (its like a black & white version of eevee... it just works imo)
    -3rd Place: Shiny Sylveon (It's just nice & distincly different)
    Best Shinies:
    -1st & 2nd Place (tied lol, can't decide): Shiny Vaporeon & Shiny Umbreon (Vaporeon is really different and I like its shiny coloring. shiny umbreon is not as wildly different, but the black and that bright blue is jjust so damn beautiful).

    Well that's just based solely on their shiny appearance. Their normal forms are my fav mon family ^^

    Also nice new signature you have there :O
    Which begs the question...which of the shiny Eeveelutions are the worst in your opinion?
