@Eel Good lord man! That's a hell of a haul! How often do you play? And what shiny legendary? I have two, Latias and Groudon. Both from when we got a random legendary after 7 days of research tasks. And that event has utterly spoiled me, because the 7 day reward has been crap by comparison ever since.

@Tyranexx Sounds like you've got pretty light skin too. And if they do add trading, I will gladly hit you up! They have online battling so I don't see why no trading. If they really want to keep people from abusing it, they can just make it cost more stardust. They already do that for rarer Pokemon or ones the other player hasn't caught themselves yet.

@Heavyarms55 I play a bit every day, mostly when we go out driving (we stay in the car).

The total May haul so far, in order, is...

1 Diglett
1 Eevee
1 Shellder
1 Abra
1 Dunsparce
1 Yanma
4 Snubbulls (event)
1 Misdreavus (traded for a shiny Swinub with my brother)
1 Sneasel
1 Terrakion (raid)
7 Seedots (community day)

For my brother I caught one Skitty and one Piplup.

Terrakion is actually the first shiny legendary I catch (in go).

My shiny luck wasn't that great lately until earlier this week. Besides my haul today, I caught a shiny event Pikachu (first sparkly Pikachu ever) on Friday.

For wild encounters, my luck normally stinks. I usually have better shiny luck with research breakthroughs, certain events like C-Day, and research task rewards.

@Heavyarms55 I've also been confused as to why online battling is allowed, but not trading. As you mentioned, they could impose limits like higher stardust costs or so many remote trades per day. It's a pain for me to meet up with people to trade sometimes, in fact it's borderline impossible for a couple of my current lucky friends due to health or distance.

I can see it coming eventually, but not anytime soon.

@Tyranexx I feel like, if there was ever a time to add online trading, during this pandemic with all the stay at home orders we have/had would have been it. I guess they really don't want people trading regional exclusives overseas and ruining the "specialness" or something... I haven't had too many random shinys outside of events either. A few, but not many. Ponyta, Eevee (not from c-day but random), Kabuto, Bulbasaur (again, random), psyduck, swablu, Drifloon, Sentret, Feebas, Anorith, Aipon, castform, and wingull. Not really that many, considering how long I have played the game.

@Eel Oh wow, I didn't even know Terrakion was obtainable shiny already! Very cool! And wow! That's a really amazing haul! Aside from Seedots the only shiny I picked up recently was a Psyduck. Which I kinda regret evolving. Psyduck, like Ponyta, has a much nicer shiny before it evolves.

@Heavyarms55 Agreed, this pandemic would've been the best time to add remote trading. Your guess is as good as mine as to why they haven't yet. While I kind of see the point of regional exclusives - to promote trading - I really hope they run more events soon where they briefly swap the regionals to make them slightly easier to obtain. I've finally filled my entire Kanto dex thanks to an event they ran a few months ago where regionals could appear in eggs.

Nice list of shinies there. You have a few that I've been looking for. XD I've heard shiny Bulbasaur looks a lot like a normal one.

@Heavyarms55 oh yeah it goes from unique Psyduck to overcooked Golduck. Coincidentally, my brother has a shiny ponyta that he refuses to evolve.

I'm usually not this lucky, I'd say before this month I had only ever found like less than ten full odds shinies. So I know it'll only go downhill from here 😅

Wingull is my favorite shiny by the way!

About the Pokedex, my only kanto-mon missing is Seaking of all things. I've only ever seen about two goldeens.

@Tyranexx Yeah, Shiny Venusaur looks great and quite different, but I totally could imagine people not paying attention and missing bulbasaur. It's one of those ones that's hardly different - much like Zapdos. My friend has a shiny Zapdos and it has to be one of the most disappointing shinys around. I mean, yeah, it's shiny, technically.

@Eel Downhill maybe. Or perhaps you have a hidden talent!

Isn't it weird how there's a SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 but there was never a Vol. 2?

@Vinny I mean, it's not like the Switch is finished with no more releases coming. It could be simply that there isn't a volume 2, yet.

@Heavyarms55 The one I'm talking about came out in 2008, the joke is that they never bothered to make a vol 2 despite there being a vol 1.

@Vinny Ah. In that case, it's actually entirely your fault. They specifically want to aggravate you and chose not to make a volume two for that sole reason.

Now to be fair, most of the company was baffled by this choice, but anime logic.

@Tyranexx Tenessee... hm, reminds me of an Elvis song...

Liking Firefox mobile, huh? See? Sometimes, I actually DO give handy tech tips...

As for the DC movies: I'll definitely be looking forward to your personal mini-reviews and/or thoughts on both Wonder Woman and Aquaman. No rush, but be sure to tell what you thought of them, whenever you've taken the time to watch them.

On the topic of easily burning: I've got that same problem nowadays as well. I have no idea what changed over time, because as a kid, all the way up to my teen years, I used to get very tanned, to a point where I looked almost foreign (got dark brown eyes as well, so that helps), but nowadays, I'm as white as a lily...

I definitely do like summer days, but I'm never fully out in the sun for prolonged periods of time anymore. And even if you can stand to do it, it's still bad for the skin anyways, so I'm okay with not getting tanned anymore. Less aging and no skin cancer to worry about and all that...

Funny how people still think they look healthier when having a tan, when all they're basically doing is slow cooking/baking their skin...

@ThanosReXXX this is an outrage, i was tagged without consent. I'm offended. You need reeducation. There's only one right opinion. And because of how enlightened I am, I just so happen to always support the correct one after consulting social media to find out which one is the correct one for enlightened individuals such as myself.

All kidding aside, how have you been? It would seem that you're a bit less omnipresent, of late.

Funny. I won't buy another console because it seems too pricey, but I'm tempted to spend double the price of an Xbox One for a Lunt LS50TH-a (hydrogen alpha solar telescope). It's for looking at the sun, seeing solar prominences, and solar atmospheric detail, Sunspots. This is the entry level model.
