I'm back here.... I like this thread best... >_>;
Anyway... yeah, I went missing yesterday. I wasn't able to go online, either. Because I was too busy and wasn't even home.
I haven't caught any shinies, either. But as Darrel Waltrip says on NASCAR, "Cautions breed cautions, I'm tellin' ya boys..", so maybe these people who have found some (I swear my games have been edited to not have shinies) will, with getting the word around about them, will give ourselves willpower to vibe the games into giving us one.
Now for my report. I wasn't able to do much SH yesterday... I did some today on FR. Looks like I have competition for the gold Magikarp. I think I'll find it first, because I've been looking for a Shiny on FR for so long and don't have one. (Shiny ninetails doesn't count since it was traded from leafGreen.. I want to catch one on FR!!)
I even have a special team for catching the Karps. :|
I have Ekans eggs with me, the hatchlings know Poison Fang. I so worked for that.. I had to breed my special tournament Seviper (Lv. 50) with a Ditto to get a little guy Seviper, then take the two out of the daycare, and then raise the little dude to Lv. 34 to learn Poison Fang, then I had to catch a female Ekans, and now I've got eggs. Ekans can be hard to find on my FR, so eggs are the way to go to be sure. (Yeah, I quit on Squirtle)
All the while I have 2 - 3 eggs with me. My lead Pokemon is the Aipom from Colosseum. The reason is for Pickup.
My other two Pokemon are my Dragonite (just in case something BAD happens and I need backup BIG TIME; it knows Surf too) and a Parasect.
If a Shiny Magikarp pops up, I'm not using one of my Master Balls. What I am going to do.. is I'm going to Baton Pass to Parasect, use Spore, and then use one of my Luxury Balls. If it doesn't work, I'll use the 2nd one. It SHOULD work. I mean, please, this is the weakest Pokemon in the game (for now). And then I catch it regardless. And I win. And then I look for Strategies, without saying a word about what's on my mind about the creature. : |
I also creamed Flannery on Emerald, and I continue through it, not knowing what's ahead...
I stopped SR on Snorlax in LG. That thing had me going crazy. I hate it so much that it won't come up Shiny after all these tries, and I want to throw my DS across the room, but... It's... Addicting. :| I want to do it over and over. I know each time I do it it might be blue. ... nope. REDO. .... Nope. REDO. ... Nope. REDO.
I went through that like 450 times IN ONE DAY. *foams at mouth*
FR is SO MUCH EASIER on me... I have more to focus on, and I'm not resetting.. I'm just fishing, and occasionally checking Funky Munky for items.
I'm going to check Ruby soon to see what's on there. Gonna take full advantage of this. I'm highly angered in a rich kid way that people have so many more and make it seem so easy... When I only have one and I'm coming up on my 1-year anniversary of LOOKING FOR THEM.
Dude.
That's so totally not right. :'(
Anyway...
Here's to very good luck to ya MetalMario. Maybe you'll get that treecko soon.. Or something. I would want any rivalries to break your personal record of so many shinies... :P :/ And good luck to yawl too. *sinks in quicksand*
-DDD
Even if we just Dancin' In the Dark.
(You should see some of ~my~ recolorations. :D And those were without Photoshop. Oh, but I have Photoshop now... so... the sky's the limit. Too bad it can't make shinies for me. :( )
