Hmm. Hi!
I've spent the last week or two attempting to finish my National Pokédex in Brilliant Diamond, without the use of any touch trading. It's been... surprisingly fun, and not nearly as much of a chore as I thought it would be. My Natdex was already about 2/3 of the way full, and since I play GO pretty actively now, a lot of the remainder could just be sent up through HOME or otherwise obtained through the GTS. It's been an alright way to pass the time, especially since I do really want (more like need) that Shiny Charm at the end of all this.
Except now I've hit a slight roadblock. I'm currently at 489 caught, and the only ones I have left to register are Celebi, Deoxys, and... Spinda. Fun fact: Spinda is the only Pokémon regularly obtainable in BDSP that just... cannot be put into nor taken out of HOME. Really.
Because to my understanding, in BDSP only, there's a glitch involving the data that calculates Spinda's spots. Basically, a Spinda transferred from any other game will have completely incorrect spot locations when put into BDSP (and vice versa, a Spinda caught in BDSP will have incorrect spot locations when put into HOME). So to avoid this, they just made any Spinda completely untransferrable between BDSP and HOME. No one gets in, no one gets out. Spinda jail.
So... I've just sort of been... waiting for the daily swarm to perhaps, by some miracle, land on Spinda one of these days, so I can just catch one and get it over with. T_T
(Meanwhile, Celebi and Deoxys can't be traded on the GTS, and the only way to obtain them in BDSP is to transfer them up from a previous generation via Bank. Which would be fine, except um, my 3DS has gone missing in my own room, so I can't find it to do that. Oops??)
On the bright side, I finally finished my Let's Go Eevee dex, after having stagnated at 149 for almost three years because I couldn't be bothered to get a Golem through GO until now. XP I haven't done any more hunting yet, but I hope to get started soon, since there's so many lovely Kanto shinies that I'd like to train for an online team.
Anyway, that's most of what I've been up to. I overslept terribly today but I'm drinking coffee right now so life is good.
I kinda can't wait until it's December so I can put whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles on my coffee; I started doing that a few years ago and now it's just kind of a seasonal thing for me. ...Every day I become more like Noelle Holiday.
