52nd Shiny Unown, 28/28 aka the last one, is here, making this a full Shiny Unown alphabet (including "!" and "?") I started this quest initially on the 21st of january of 2023, had around 5956 hours back then, and now i just ended with 13695, took a total of 52 phases and 1.159.235 Unown encounters. Gotta mention that for the hours, not all of it was spent shunting Unowns, but give it or take, this took 6.8-7.2k hours. Money spent? I'm not really sure (and that'll probably stay as the biggest mystery on all of this quest), but between lures and Donators, i'd say over 250m easily. This thing initially started as me going for only a few Unowns, but then i decided to go for 5, and after that, 10, by that point i started to believe in the possibility that maybe it could be possible, i wasn't feeling bothered and felt i was doing good enough with the phases, at that moment i truly set the alphabet as the objective, that wasn't an idea anymore, I had to deliver on this promise too. But not all of it was hope and optimism, at points during this quest i was seriously questioning if all of this was worth, "i could spent this time hunting better shinies", "i could get rares instead of this" were some of the things that were crossing my mind. But i wanted to push myself and see how much i could go, made it so far by that point, so i felt i couldn't give up, i was conflicted, but i wanted to continue, i kept thinking to myself "all of this is going to be worth by the end", and now i can say it truly was. Thank you all so much for the support, both ingame, forum and Discord; thank you @TeamMr for being there at all moments and being my constant energy to continue; thank you @Juaske for being my main inspiration to start this, you're a beast for not giving up on that Riolu, and, again thank you all the community for the messages, the support and for being there, watching me phase during these last few Unowns on this thread or following the whole thing on my Shiny diary. This might be the end of an era for me, but definitely isn't the end of my shiny hunting journey, still plenty of targets for me to get and things to do in this game. Here to wish you all a successful shunt and fulfillment for all your objectives here, i appreciate you all.

..To say goodbye. I've been playing this great game for nearly 5 years, and spent about half of that being staff. I have enjoyed my time playing and being part of this community; but all good things sadly have to come to an end. If you know me, its no secret I haven't been active for a bit, and moreso less since I left staff. Activity has been spiralling down after I moved; with unfortunate life events and health issues. After spending the last few weeks away, I feel like its the best time to say goodbye to everyone. I am grateful for everyone who plays and every staff member who had to put up with me I spent so much time with. There's some who I would love to mention: @Knightee, Keep in contact with me on Discord. You're one of my oldest friends from the game and you're so nice to talk to. Thank you for making Channel 2 a great space. @CanadaSorry and the rest of team NDGO, Your team are so kind and friendly, and I cannot express how grateful I am of you and your team, Maybe I'll be a little talkative in your discord @DragoTamer You might not read this for some time, but I'll never forget our theorycrafts and PVE experiments, Keep going you PVE king. I'll also be forever grateful for how much faith you had in me when I joined staff. You made me believe in myself. Don't make me cry again. Message me some time @OfficialDarku Best CC and best nerd. Who knows, maybe that'll Eli boost will come soonTM. Keep being the best and don't forget about me q.q @Dawn I will always value our friendship. You're such an awesome person to be around. Please do not be a stranger and keep in contact @Hagene You always ask about me and when things wasn't so good it was always so nice to see your messages. I really hope you continue with your ribbon shop I would also like to thank team lava and Pory for letting me lurk in your discords having fun and chill members. I'll stop lurking one day maybe. I also want to thank every single person (whether they play still, or have left also) who we have shared moments; either by chatting or by battling. If I have forgotten you I apologise (Not logged in since March). Staff thanks in the spoiler. I am aware this isn't an airport

I know this might seem crazy at first but bear with me: It all started when I was going to get some Leppa Berries from my supplier. As usual, I arrived in Slateport city expecting our regular exchange, only to witness something shocking. My supplier was being robbed! in broad daylight! A group of thieves ganged up on him, rendered him helpless and took all he had. The last thing I remember hearing is "Lavaridge Looters" as I ran to the Slateport Police Department's office for help. Out of breath and shaken, I explained the situation to the officers, who listened intently. Their expressions grew serious as they realized this was no singular incident. They showed me a Newspaper report of an incident that happened recently that could be linked together with what I have witnessed: Since I had worked as a detective before, I told them that I could help with finding out what this is really about. This marked the beginning of my investigation working together with the Slateport PD. My plan was to find out where the looters escaped to after their robbery, since they left behind a trail of dropped items and footprints on the path. We carefully followed the trail and it lead to Lavaridge town as expected, we discovered that they seem to have some sort of "Hideout" deep within. The next step was to set up hidden surveillance and collect any evidence we can we and wait for 7 days. Our big breakthrough came as we managed to collect footage of a secret meeting. The video revealed what appeared to be 4 people of power gathered in one place to possibly discuss partnership or other plans. It became clear that the "Lavaridge Looters" were just one part of a larger network of criminals in Hoenn. So we spent the following days carefully dissecting and analyzing the Audio gathered by the footage. This detailed examination allowed us to map out the key players and their roles within the criminal network. "Lavaridge Looters" "Mauville Mafia" "Slateport Smugglers" "Petalburg Pack Pushers" "Rustboro Rascals" All these groups play a role in a bigger cime-scheme, I call it "Big Leppa" which is effectively the biggest Monopoly in Hoenn. By identifying code words and cross-referencing them with known information, we were able to pinpoint the locations of their hideouts and the flow of goods and money. We have meticulously mapped this out on a pinboard. It seems theres a group of powerful individuals from central Hoenn, we'll call them the Mauville Mafia. Their Plan appears to be gaining total control of the Leppa market in Hoenn. They buy large amounts of leppas for a huge discount from smugglers every month, the supply is suspected to come from Unovas most dangerous gang the "Castelia Crips" Anyways the Supply then gets delivered to Petalburg trough the Dewford Canal, where underpaid goons do all the dirty work for the mafia and sell the Leppas to shiny hunters. As if this wasnt bad enough, they clean the dirty money in Rustboro and funnel it back to the Mafias headquarters, paying taxes to no one except to the criminal groups that helped them to make sure they keep helping them. To finally help set an end to this, I provided the Slateport PD with a board full of evidence and the names of the Prime Suspects: If you've had any interactions with an Individual that goes by @CrudMud or @Juanks please contact slateport PD. From here I will leave it up to the Slateport Police Department to dismantle these Criminals, but I have decided to publish my investigation to spread awareness to the people of hoenn, and to open this discussion to them. Dear citizens of Hoenn, you might ask yourselves: Does Big Leppa have more power over Hoenn than the police? Is this the end of Private Leppa retail as we know it? How many people have been affected by this? Whatever the answers may be I can assure you I wont be stepping foot in Hoenn for a while. Thank you for reading.

2034 Encounters (13.695 hours). Everything has to come to an end eventually, right? After 2 years, 2 months and 21 days, 52 phases with a total of 1.159.244 Unown encounters and between 6.8k-7.2k hours on this quest alone, the alphabet is done. Thank you all so much for all the support you have been giving me all this time and following how this thread has been progressing, from the start, until this final update, i really appreciate all of you for being here ❤️ If anyone wants to know more in deep about my thoughts (and for the sake of not being redundant), i'll link the shiny existence post next. For those wondering what will happen with this whole thread, now that the Shiny Unown quest is over, i'll make a post updating on the situation/plan soon

SupersStrings! Brief Overview: SupersStrings is my passion project of unlocking the full potential of what strings can offer. After strings were nerfed, a lot of people saw strings as useless or borderline do nothing. I'm here to give my take on strings to change that perspective that strings are more than just making text faster, and going above and beyond what they can offer. In SupersStrings, you can expect the normal faster text boxes but with QOL, additional information, and new guiding features. There's going to be 2 versions of SupersStrings, 1 that has text for NPC that has them compressed (SupersStoryStrings), and one that has it removed (SupersSpeedStrings). This Strings will be an on going project and will be taking feedback and suggestions, feel free to let me know on either a Comment, Discord, or ingame.

The darkened room is filled with cigar smoke. Since we locked Giovanni up, the Saffron factory has strangely stopped making them - I save them for special occasions. Today is that day. We have another clue, another puzzle piece; I need to think. The headquarters sent me to Hoenn to check the detective agency's activities. Reports of criminal activity were too regular to ignore. But my first impressions of the place differed; I was greeted by a warm, if slightly crazy, region and the only crime incident was an old man whose Wingull was stolen. Yet something was in the air, and it was not the ash from the Lavaridge volcano. The detectives who started this case may have been right. Of course, I've followed their lead. They might've missed something, and as we joked with my old partner, two ursas are better than one, even if their payday doesn't double. Yet I found nothing, and the locals were silent, refusing even to look me in the eye when I asked anything related to Big Leppa. Former Lavaridge sheriff outright refused to help, saying he has fought this war for decades and his Camerupt is tired of losing it. I couldn't help but notice his team Magma tattoo on the forearm, but I said nothing. I tried to check even the smallest leads, desperate for anything new. Upon hearing that Crudmud seems to have one of those fashionable fishes, I went to a usual gathering of fishermen to check up on any clue. I don't know if it was the rain or the rumor of MMO PD appearing spread too quickly, but the place was empty. Even if I could swear, I was being watched. For weeks, I had been searching for a clue that could help find more members of "Big Leppa". I wasn't too surprised when the attacks started, and groups of Grunts were tormenting their mightyens in suicidal attacks on my police Ursaluna. This part of the job gets pretty repetitive after a while and makes me miss my partner. She used to sing, "I love grind," when defending all those low-effort criminals. I hummed it to myself as I watched grunts hug their fainted pokemons. I also made mistakes, silly me. You would've thought after all those years in the department, I would've been more careful. Yet I saw the signs around and ignored them... now I see it. Mystery box that some boy trainer gave me in Rustboro- I should've noticed sooner that I haven't seen one of those in ages, ever since we fixed the addiction crisis in Team Rocket casino years ago. Some small similarities to old cases that I long forgot, with files covered in dust. But no... for me, it was a standard job until I discovered something that made my last string of hair turn grey. In Lilycove, on the door of the Contest Hall, a note was left that made even Ursaluna flinch. ": )" : ) Let's... hope the other detectives are safe.

This is planned for a future update, likely within the next few months and replacing 6v6 doubles as the matchmaking and tournament format. At the time of the above, the Covert Mantle flash will be reverted as we will be including an "open team sheet" mechanic for the new format which accomplishes the same goal. The flash will remain until then as removing it would be detrimental to the current doubles format.
