Same, Sword kinda showered me with shinies xD I think I told you once before, but after Sword from what I remember: Gold (2 without Gyarados), Sapphire (1 - Wurmple lol), all other games I played none xD
Manaphy, the legendary you could only get via Pokemon Ranger which sold only 1.3 million copies or so compared to DPs 13+ mio? Can't remember. And yeah, maybe as a event giveaway, too lazy to check now lol. Gen 4 introduced like 10-15 legendaries which, to this day, is still mind-blowing :O Wonder how many we will be able to get in-game tho.
Great to know regarding the HA. Maybe you should put some background colour on those you added recently, so other people can see it too (maybe you did that already and I just didn't notice?).
Actually, you kinda spoiled me but you wouldn't be the first one tbh xD After I finished the story, I watched other people play this on YT and they also spoiled me by discovering something I've completely missed :O But do I really care at that point? I've beaten the story of New Pkmn Snap, locked in 50 hours and registered 183 or 193 Pokemon or something like that, but yeah. Found all the pokemon you mentioned so far (except Sylveon - one YTer saw it and Eevee...did I see Eevee? Can't remember. Regarding the Eeveelutions, I've heard that *shuts mouth* :X). And I didn't see some behaviours, like Shaymin riding Meganium? Sounds hilarious xD Already have all pictures of it (1, 2, 3 & 4 stars, altough one or two could be better :X Tried several times but couldn't get it closer to the camera with the behaviour I want.
I think I stopped playing Snap a little bit because of that Shaymin part and also because whenever I turn this game on, I easily waste a few hours xD Could do that while I was on vacation last week and on days off in 1st half of May, but not so much now xD I have to boot it up someday and get better shots of certain pokemon. If you're a perfectionist like I am when it comes to snapping Pokemon, then well...this could become a problem xD
Glad to hear that you love New Pkmn Snap so far :D Bandai Namco really did a great job making them feel lively. Before this game released, Beautifly was just a weak competitve pokemon in my eyes. But when I saw it the first time in Snap - oh boi. Not only cute but also beautiful :D Kinda fell in love haha
