I'm from Wisconsin, so I tend to enjoy cheesiness (a guilty pleasure of mine), but to each their own.

Closest I got to seeing someone from another state (I was in California) was when the kid brat brought this short-ass kid for a sleepover, and he was born in Boston, or something. Otherwise, they're all kids I barely recognize, much less actually care for their existence.

Asian-Americans (and/or white trash) tend to think they're bound to this lofty-ass, high-tier ground by default, though. Dunno if that's the case with AAs.

Also, nothing beats me scoring this red Duskull on Ruby last week. Ask for details.

Yeah. I'd long already traded or Palparked everything and anything of importance in the game (everything from the starter to Groudon, Castform, Skitty, and Wynaut, all with items of value [TMs, for one] held), to the point that it only contained a grand total of one Pokemon even above the level of 10 at this point (a 34 Tentacool).

After winning a double battle against a Slaking and Spinda by spamming Surf and Waterfall, I randomly went in the department store (I was near Lilycove) since I had no Pokeballs at all at this point (and 2 TMs), so since I somehow had this precognition that a shiny may show up (on some off chance), I spent the 2000 or so cash the game had left on Pokeballs, and after rummaging through the grass for about 2 minutes, a fucking shiny Duskull came out of the blue. I almost let my nuts drop and yelled, "Oh my GOD, shiny!," but since either Surf or Waterfall could kill it should an untimely critical hit out of nowhere (like with the case of my very unfortunate first shiny >_>), I had to be extra-careful with it by just using one Dive, and then chucking Pokeballs. And soon, the fourth or so ball nailed it, and thus my third random shiny came rollin'.

Since there was little I could do in said game (and I don't think I'd even want to evolve it, given how retarded Dusclops looks), I traded it to my FireRed. Since it isn't in my Emerald yet, I'm not sure whether it's got the best stats, but it comes with a Modest nature, so that's nice and cool, I suppose (though I never do contests, and never will).

Lol, if only Tangrowth didn't look like a hulking hairball made of some bramble-like shit. Tentacruel handles the tentacle raep thing a lot better (even if you find it freakin' everywhere), so I'm torn as to whether or not I should evolve the shiny Tentacool I found randomly some 8 months back. It was on Emerald, so I cloned about 5 copies of him, of course.

Tentacool has nice stats and abilities... A Tentacruel once ruined my Roselia (training it) when I used Giga Drain on him. Did not expect that ability... XD

Tangrowth's looks aren't so nice, I know. But anyway, it's my first Shiny so I plan to raise it. The nature wasn't so bad neither.

My first and only shiny (Taillow) was erased when I restarted my Ruby version. (Back when I didn't know what shinies were. What a foolish child I was. D:) I don't have the patience to go looking for them, so I doubt I'll ever run into a wild one again.

Welcome to the Chat Thread, Tol ^^;

I've never raised a Tangela before, so I want to try it this time. Besides, I need a decent Grass type for my team...and I've raised Roserades a lot already. (Not that I don't like it; I want a change)

@Kakuna Matata: Thanks! :D
I'll worry about grades later...I am going to enjoy my time for a while XD (<---Don't stop me, lol)
Too bad about the Shiny Taillow... :(
I once encountered a Shiny in Safari Zone. You know what happened next XD

Hope your break is filled with lots of fun and relaxation. :D
They always seem to show up when you have the worst shot at getting them. Such teases they are. >:/

I wish you luck with your endeavor, especially when you start Johto.

I second this...
I was lucky that I was EV training when I met the Tangela, not levelling up an "already-high-levelled" Pokemon. If that was the case, I would have had no way to lowering its HP without KOing it. :bawl:

Cool, my Tentacool (like most others) has that ability. That alone pretty much seals the deal on evolving it :D

If you have cloned it, evolving the Shiny Tentacool won't be so bad.

Yeah, I probably should. For some reason I haven't touched my Emerald since about June due to how cramped my boxes are getting from all the cloning, and god are those post-game events boring (especially the Battle frontier; yuck!).

If I could care to find a GBA AR I'd have hacked to get the Lugia/Ho-Oh ticket and the Old Sea chart.
