#mutuals i wish you all similarly insane luck with largely inconsequential but very cool video game things like this

you know what as frustrating as shiny hunts like this one are when i don't get the specific target i'm after i think i enjoy phasing because i end up getting some nice shinies that i would have almost definitely never found otherwise. like i only shiny hunt casually once per save file for a pokemon i want on my team, i don't have the patience to make a full on hobby out of it, so if i wasn't doing this there's almost no way i would have happened upon those really cool phases i got and i definitely wouldn't have actively looked for any of them. of course i would not wish shiny hunting on anyone and i accept the fact that i am absolutely insane for even slightly enjoying myself here but it really is nice to be building up a collection of funky coloured pretend digital creatures that i otherwise would have probably never seen otherwise

#i dunno i just think i need to be a little sentimental about this to convince myself that i enjoy doing this hjfbnkjgbnj #it's nice though. makes me feel accomplished for probably some extensively studied psychology reason #mutuals i wish you all similarly insane luck with largely inconsequential but very cool video game things like this
