Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
I don't know if I really have a favorite... I think the one most special to my heart is the 05080 VGC10 Shiny Eevee. I was event collecting at this time, and in June 2010, the VGCs stopped at Secaucus, New Jersey, which is 20 minutes from my house. This was the first time I ever got to go to an in-life Pokemon event, not including the Toys R Us events. I remember wanting to go to the last stop in the 10th Anniversary tour when it was in Bryant Park, New York City on August 8, 2006, but my parents didn't want to take me. The experience I got by obtaining the Eevee was great, and two years later, in the very same building (Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus), I went to my first ever convention, Bronycon Summer 2012. I guess I have lots of memories that remind me of this Eevee. Difficult to obtain? Not really. We went to the Expo Center immediately after I had an appointment for my retainer that morning, and we waited in line. But there were way too many people wanting to register for the VGC, so the line got cut off quite a bit in front of me. Me and my brother didn't get to enter the VGC even after waiting in line for about 2 hours, but we still got the Eevee. IIRC there were 500 entrants that got in, and many more that were cut off. |
Day 11: Do you prefer Battle-Ready or Untouched Pokémon?
untouched. i prefer the level 1 breedject to level 100 pokemon because i usually use them for breeding and getting my own shiny from. Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain? Darkrai. yes, because the one i meant was the platinum event darkrai where you can soft-reset it. i wish i could buy second-hand cart with untouched event so i could hunt it myself. but, no. i don't have any of them. |
Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
I don't like events. But I'm looking forward to seeing a Shiny Tapus (Fini and Lele esp.) in the future - I guess I didn't answered the question. |
Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
- Kiyo Eevee, in a way I got it by luck because the person I traded with to get it doesn't speak very good English. |
Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
The liberty island Victini, I obtained back in 2011 when BW came out. (It was my first event). No, it wasn't difficult to obtain, since it was a low level capture. |
Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain? VC JAP Mew. It was dumb luck that I stumbled upon it in a random trade. I do believe I offered a 6IV Shiny for it
|
Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading?
Nearly all of it. Sure, I have a few dozen shinies and a couple hundred events in my collection that I obtained myself (A large part of that hundred is Distant Land, Pokewalker, and My Pokemon Ranch), but I'd say 90% of my collection is from trading. |
Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading?
i have like 20 boxes of shinies in my Pokebank, and another 5 boxes of events. all of them were from trading. |
Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading?
Just about all of my shinies and competitively bred Pokemon are from trading. |
Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading? 5/6 box of Shinies are from trading, while nearly all my events are fron trading. Only redeemed about a dozen myself.
|
Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
Eon Ticket [email protected] Somewhat. You have to beat the entire game every time you want to reuse the ticket and catch another one. Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading? About half. For gen 6/7 Pokemon most of that is from SV abuse. |
Day 12: What is your favorite Event Pokémon? Was it difficult to obtain?
I think the closest to my heart is the 2010 Mew event in North America. I was running around my neighborhood trying to find an unsecured WEP wifi connection and ended up redeeming it in the middle of the street. Better yet, I redeemed it on my 21st birthday. Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading? Well, after the 170 shinies I personally caught just added to my list, I think about 15-20% of my shinies were redeemed by myself. Events are less, so probably 10-15%. I like to think of myself as a professional trader, so that's reassuring. |
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful?
I guess they were alright when I was a kid, but their real use is getting the 1.5x exp. I normally catch or breed everything I need in other ways, though. |
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful? A lot of them were, because sometimes they gave you a rarer Pokémon, or an exclusive. I can't forgive that Blackhorn lady asking for a Female Dragonite for her lousy Dodrio tho
|
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful?
Not really. Maybe in 3rd or 4th gen it was useful, but now that online trading exists, it's not a necessity anymore. The in-game trades are also usually Pokemon you get a little earlier than when you find them in the wild, so unless you absolutely need it, you can just find it a little later. |
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful?
yes. i used some of them during playthrough. since they got more exp makes them leveling faster. plus they can help me fill the dex too. |
Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades?
Wonder Trade. Even though you'll get a lot of Route 1 trash, WT can easily give you breedjects and high IV Pokemon. Especially because of not knowing what you'll get, you can even get rares, and in some cases, shinies. This is much better than searching for a particular Pokemon on the GTS and having it snatched in seconds. |
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful?
No, especially after that NPC in Platinum traded me a Haunter with an everstone. ;; Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades? Wonder Trades, just for the pure excitement of randomness. |
Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades? GTS is pretty useful for dex completion, but that's all. Wonder Trade has a lot of awesome breedjects laying around, and I got one legit Shiny in Sun Moon WT.
|
Day 13: How much of your collection is from trading? maybe 95%
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful? Don't do IGTs Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades? Both has their pros and cons but I prefer GTS more and WT on Wednesdays |
Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades?
I used GTS to help get some mons for dex completion, and I don't really Wonder Trade. Neither really gives me any thrill, and I like to know exactly what I'm getting for what I'm trading. Although, sometimes I'm an a**hole and trade clones of shinies that evolve through trading. Here's your Phantu... I mean Trevenant. |
Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades?
i'm on both side. i use GTS for searching desired pokemon with desired ball. as for wondertrade most for filling the dex and for excitement to find what pokemon you will get. |
Day 14: Did you find any in-game trades with NPCs worthwhile or useful?
Yes, quite a few of them!! I think the most useful one was the Machop early on in Gen 2. Day 15: Which do you prefer between the GTS and Wonder Trades? I don't really care for either, but if I had to keep one it would be the GTS. |
Day 16: Do you breed Pokémon? What was your favorite breeding project? Yes :) I am MMing Rowlet rn.
|
Day 16: Do you breed Pokémon? What was your favorite breeding project?
I used to. Not anymore, though. I think my favorite breeding project was when Instacheck existed at the beginning of 6th gen and we had the first instances of Egg TSV Hatching. I hatched a bunch of shinies through this. Related, but my first ever breeding project was a Dragon Dance Charmander in Diamond in August 2007. I was only 12 years old at the time, and I was really happy to know I learned about and could breed for IVs at such a young age. |
