you can take a photo with a digital camera or video phone. as i have neither owell. I was searching the shoal cave or a snorunt, hjavent found it yet but got my self a beutifull purple spheal. i traded it to my ruby file as my emerald isn't that brilliant )its a fake) and ill probably loose my data
and also i dont know if this counts as mine:
my brother and his friends had a mini competition. whoever wins gets a shiny off the other competeters. well my brother won, shiny sceptile, another sceptile, a linone, a snorunt and aaron.
he gave me the aaron but i dont count it as i caught it as it was caught by my brothers friend
