Throughout my countless hours of Pokemon, I've only seen one Shiny Pokemon, but have caught the PokeRus like 3 times.

I caught PokeRus twice. One time was back in G/S days and the other was in HG/SS. I caught an Abra and it had PokeRus. The thing is, I already had it through a traded Pokemon that was given to me with PokeRus which I kept in the PC. I was really surprised.

If I chain, I either listen to the radio or watch tv. It's so repetitive, you only have to look every now and then.

Not that I try for shinies in any other way, otherwise it simply isn't worth the effort for me. And yes, I'm still mad that they dropped the Pokéradar.

I've gotten the pokérus twice, I think, but one was on emulator, so I don't count that. Have an active strain in my Black that I caught of a wild Shelder though.

I got pokerus in my current black game. I would much rather have had a shiny.

Me too. I mean I found it frustrating and it requires a lot of attention, but it's a good way to get shinies. They really should bring it back.

Frustrating all right (I mean, I want to toss my DS into the wall when a chain breaks at 38-39), but with the increase in probability (~1/200 isn't that bad) and the ability to find multiple on one chain clearly outweighs that.

The PokeRus is only useful if you play competitive on your DS. I have no clue who has time for that

I've been eating a lot recently, I'm worried I'll gain weight. ;~;

It helps your in-game pokes get stronger faster too since it takes less time to max out their EVs. It's probably not that noticeable, but at least it's something.

Weigh in - weigh out later. Find out if you worry without reason. If no, proceed to eat less. Problem --> Solution?

Also, I like to think you fight your way through the game with deathly ill pokémon, and have to defeat the E4 to get the cure.

Not really though

That's weird.

Blogs being dead has had an interesting effect. Now my blogs often start off with a very low number of comments, but that number grows slowly as the blog spends an extended period of time on the front page. You used to have to rely on those early game blog comments.

If you don't gain a proper momentum, then you're going to struggle later on.

True, but there's more opportunity to gain momentum.

Hi, guys! Been a while, hasn't it? How is everyone?

Yeah it has. I'm okay, how are you?


Velociraptors aren't that scary.
