Jambo! You can find legends after you've beaten all the gym leaders. *Has been looking for them*
So I'm silver_127 on Pokemon Crater. Recently finished getting my typical team to level 100 for the second time because my old account... doesn't work. Like, it's there, it has all my money and says I beat all the gym leaders, but none of my Pokemon seem to exist at all...

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hi! Today is the last day of the contest. Remember, things posted after 11:59 PM tonight (AZ time) will not count towards your score. Not that I want everyone to stop posting or anything... Bonus Challenge 4 is also up if you want to try for some extra points.
And that's about it. Things are calming down a little for me but this also happens to be the week I need to change the addresses on all my magazines and other stuff, deal with utilities, etc in preperation for moving back to CO so that'll eat up some time.
Poik, really sorry your smilies haven't gone up yet. At least know that I did sort them, convert them, and give you bonus points for them. I promise I'll get them on the forums sometime this week.

Anyone read the news post on PV? Sigh... Poor PS2... And poor me since I had to spend most of my money on a new one.

Jambo!
...
So. I restarted my Crystal Version last night at 3 AM. The clock doesn't exactly work anymore - time only passes when I'm playing - but I don't particularly care... I just delivered the Mystery Egg (Sounds like something Luffy would say...) to Professor Elm, got the five Pokeballs from the Aid, walked out into the grass, and the first Pokemon I saw was a SHINY HOOTHOOT! The very first Pokemon I could catch - and the very first one I caught, of course! Kind of hard to miss the catch when your only Pokemon isn't capable of OHKOs yet.
So that was crazy luck. And much luckier than I'm suppsoed to be. Though I did catch two shinies almost consecutively in Ruby... though they were kind of lame Pokemon (Roselia and Illumise. Meh...) and this time it was a Hoothoot, and they kind of pwn. A lot.

Hi.
Nice, I remember on one of my Crystal game I caught 2 Shinny Lickatung's on the same island I was training on. Sadly the game erased...
And I've only seen one shinny on my newer games and that was a Shiny Pochana. And my brother managed to get a Shiny Nidoran male in the SZ. He also claimed he saw a shinny Zapdos but didn't want to waste his MB on it and ran out of his ball stock.

I knew I'd end up 4th, because it's the first place without prize...I feel like Stevenson when he got his "Best new member" and "Best member named Stevenson" awards...Celebifly wrote:(Really though Shadowman won a place there!)
