Hello! How are you?

It really did! It made me so happy you have no idea!

How have you been my dear friend?

How are you doing, Sam~~

Ugh my shiny Goomy breed is pretty painful.
For a reference, I've already shiny bred two other pseudo lines: Bagon line and Jangmo-o line. The Bagon line had some incredible RNG as my first one was a freebie while breeding for something else, and the other 2 stages hatched in 1 round of 150 eggs xD
The Jangmo-o line I had all 3 in 1800 eggs.

It took me 2700 eggs to get my 1st shiny Goomy D=
3750 eggs total for the second one. I'm at 4050 eggs now and hatched two more in the same round of 150 eggs.
A really rough start but I now only need one more =D

Anyway I saw you say this about Manaphy:
"I don't get to see this cute little fella much, but I enjoyed the Manaphy movie, Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea."

Do you not have one? Because I redeemed Manaphy 4 times from the event in BDSP, so I have 3 spares =D

Happy to share her with you!

I'm glaaaaaad!
Lately there have been many responsibilities thrust upon me, so I'm trying to balance them all and have some time for myself as well!

Helloo! It's been a long while, but how have you been!

Hm yeah different perspectives. I think in the case of the mental health thread, I would rather step in and out quickly, and not take up potentially needed space. There could be someone who really needs the community as you mentioned. Someone who may come online with a much needed vent. Personally I know my capabilities and that in most cases I'll be okay and can stand on my own feet. Not everybody has that luxury. I would rather 'give the floor' for somebody who is struggling.

Oh absolutely. It was a horrific and shocking scene. We take each other for granted and death is quite a tucked away thing in our society. Seeing a loved one (pet or human) in that lifeless state takes a while to erase from memory and always will leave a kick in the stomach. (not to mention the grief that happens after).

I'll be alright though. It was reassuring to me knowing he wasn't hit. Thanks for being so kind and thoughtful. I appreciate the kindness. I would like to make a request. The next time that you see your pets (cats, dogs, or any of the sort) make sure to give them an extra hug. These are innocent creatures that don't have the benefit of our longer lifespans. Our time is so limited with them, and they deserve the extra love.

I don't want to eat up the thread, but I wanted to say thanks for the condolences.

Well, here's exactly what happened. Our neighbor drowned that morning. There were emergency trucks all over the place. After it cleared, we found our cat dead in the road. Here's the catch.

He wasn't hit. There was not a single drop of blood or wound on his body. Old age caught up to him it seems, and he made his final resting place the road. We had been watching the trucks and didn't see him out there, so it would have been quite peculiar.

Anyways, yeah it's hard. Pets are like family. Will definitely miss the little guy.

Finished the Meowscarada TCG card yesterday if you wanna see it: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=10606793#post10606793
Posted both just the card as well as an animated .gif to try and display the Holo effect it would have.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day, I’ve been so busy and I didn’t have time to spend any Valentines, but I’m thinking of you. I hope this winter has treated you well! The picture you sent me was lovely, it’s always such a blessing hearing from you! Please take care of yourself dear sister, sending you lots of love! Xoxo

Ended up drawing 8 mons rofl, double of my original intention... oh well.
I posted half the mons/image here, if you want a peek: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=10604749#post10604749

I'm not worried about the Goomy, I've had hunts where it took around 1900 eggs for the first shiny to appear.
My shortest shiny breed was about 160 eggs, and there are times when I get multiple shinies when other ones appear while still cleaning out my boxes =3
Iirc shiny breeding the entire Bagon and Jangmo-o lines took under 1.000 eggs for each line. Given that I need 5 shiny Goomy's now that Hisuian Sliggoo/Goodra are a thing I could use some of that luck =3

I saw the Flapple and Duraludon's hatch dates and just kinda went 'have they been sitting around in my boxes for that long already? =O '
Time flies xD
That Flapple is from a pretty old giveaway by now xD I had prepared 5 each of Appletun and Flapple and maxed their Dynamax levels with Dynamax Candy and fed all of them Max Soup. Aside from that they all had their HA, egg moves and were in Friend Balls.

May the Duraludon be of use to you =3
And perhaps the Flapple can be decent too. It can Gigantamax and I gave it a spare Mint as it's nature is not that great.
