johto shiny week hype
 

Finally after 5.5k eggs I Got my favorite pokemon shiny ⭐

another one, this time female ot 5 or 6 iirc

The past few weeks, even months I've noticed an increase in scams regarding Ditto boxes. 
I've also been scammed a couple of times now, but a few days ago this was the reply given to me. 

The same reply has been given to many of my friends, teammates and others. 

Where as I try to understand where they're coming from as SGM+ etc. and that these types of reports take up a lot of time for them. I feel like for long-term the "Pay X amount for 5 dittos" is very inconvenient and wont get rid of all scams regarding these type of transactions, cause majority will still pay full price upfront. 

Refusing to restore money that has been scammed in the future too will make people not want to report them anymore, cause whats the gain of them reporting if they wont get their money back. It's a give and take situation.

I can see these type of scams being resolved by adding a feature where we can trade FULL boxes only for X amount of $.

first egg hit of the year 😄

Thought sharing this here would be cool, as it's a very special occasion to me.
 
After 31st Single enc shinies and +500k encs in total. I finally found my Secret, i remember being so excited about getting one when they were revealed back in June of 2022, as i by that time i was already doing single encounter shunts, so i anticipated getting one relatively quick. But oh dear how wrong i was.
 
That initial feeling kept growing with time, as i was seeing more and more people getting them at so few phases, sometimes that number going a bit high, but none of them going higher than 10 at most cases. While i was here trying my hardest to get one, without a single result, at some point i accepted and kind of remained hopeful that at some moment ("eventually" as i said) i was going to find one, even if it would take months/years, it was bound to happen at some point, as long as I kept trying without stopping, which is pretty much the essential for any shiny hunt.

Given this was almost a two year journey, thinking about how many shinies I found throughout that time, the amount of times i got happy to found a shiny, but slightly disappointed it wasn't Secret (minus on Safari, i'm glad those weren't). If you ask me, I was expecting to go double overodds Secret, as it had become the standard for me to joke about not getting one, sarcastically stating everytime "next one would be for sure".

What i wasn't expecting that the last time i said that, it would be actually the next one, and i couldn't be happier, after thousand of hours grinding, doing encs, getting phase through phase, i finally got one, and on top on that, on one of my favourites Unown letters. It has been around 4 hours since i caught it, but i'm still speechless, i can't believe i already have my first Secret Shiny, and this journey for it made it this special.
