Eee, I'm so happy for this day to finally arrive! I don't think I realized it until now, but Shaymin is my favorite out of the Mythicals being distributed this year.
Way back in 2009 when I saw Giratina and the Sky Warrior, I fell in love with Shaymin, particularly its Sky Form (both in its appearance and sharing the same voice actor as my favorite character from the Sonic games- Tails). I loved it and the movie so much that I recorded it on DVR and rewatched it a few times. :P
I wanted a Shaymin so bad, knew that it was possible to get one in Platinum, but never got to do it which was disappointing. Not being able to use Wi-Fi for my games back then didn't help.
Now I can finally have my very own Shaymin, after all these years! <3 It sucks that the Sky Forme can't be active all day, but oh well. :(

I've been spending so much time having all of my Mythicals and other Mystery Gifts unredeemed this year because I couldn't find the time to SR all of them, and that frustrated me, so with Shaymin's arrival I just got all of my Mystery Gifts and give them to a friend to edit their stats eventually. As much as I love putting time into Pokémon, SRing is something I think I'm tired of. I still want to breed for shinies in the future, and I'll still EV train the mystery gifts I get though.
Wish I could use the mythicals for stuff like the Battle Maison, but they're still fun to use in E4 rematches for money-grinding and using them in contests and whatnot. :P
