I leveled up the Pidgeotto into a Pidgeot.

August 25

I bred and hatched a few Pokémon.

August 27
Random Part 3
I didn't do much except go up and down Route 206 on my Bicycle to raise this Zigzagoon I'm leveling up to get its Pickup to a certain point.

August 28
Random Part 4
See above.

August 29
Random Part 5
See above the above. I have a lot more going on, that's why I'm not doing much.

August 30
Random Part 6
I decided to transfer a few more guys.

August 31
Random Part 7
I transferred a few more guys, successfully got the Zigzagoon to level 41, and trained a few guys. The Pickup Project seems to have worked, and now I have 2 Dawn Stones.

September 1
Random Part 8
I transferred a few more guys, and managed to hatch a female Snorunt and evolved it into a Froslass. Something interesting has happened to me when I was hatching: Back when I was hatching Burmy, I was listening to System of a Down over the stereo. I'd pause it when an egg hatched. If I paused before it started hatching, it was male, if I paused it while it was hatching, it was female. When I was just hatching the Snorunt, when I didn't blow into the microphone (it was late, and I didn't want to crank anything up), it was male, when I blew into the microphone and stopped while it was hatching, it was female. I'm going to keep experimenting with this noise gender thing, which is probably one giant coincidence but still pretty cool.

Trade Glitch Ultra-Insanity!!!!!
Thanks to shinycubone, I was able to defeat the monster that is Trade Evolution! They pointed out a GTS Trade Evolution Glitch, which I used to the fullest of my power to evolve all of my Pokémon which needed trading! That is, my Graveler to a Golem, Scyther to a Scizor, Rhydon to a Rhyperior, and my Porygon to a Porygon2 to a Porygon-Z! Eventually, the trade evolution beast will be slain!

September 7
Some Trade Insanity!
I got a Croagunk off of the GTS for a Piplup (finally), and then I made a couple of in-game trades that I hadn't done.

September 8
Random Part 11, Joined In Progress
More nothing again.

September 9
Random Part 12
I just did a few random things.

September 19
Random Part 13, Uncanceled
I caught a Dratini and a Gible and messed around by hatching a bunch of Eggs.

September 22
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 1

September 23
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 2
I'm also searching for a Cubone, so I check with Hikari's sister every day to check swarms.
Defeated: 50
Caught: None
Total Defeated: 100

September 24
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 3
I figured that running from the battles gives me the same chance of a Shiny as fighting them. Plus, it's twice as fast.
Encountered: 100
Caught: None
Total Defeated/Encountered: 200

September 25
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 4
Same as last time. I don't need to focus much when I do this, except when there's an encounter and I just check the color then. By the way, I'm searching the Valley Windworks to see if I can get a Buizel or Pachirisu.
Encountered: 100
Caught: None
Total Defeated/Encountered: 300

September 30
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 5
I was busy for a while so I didn't do this for a while. For a while. I was fairly busy for a while. While. What am I doing?
Encountered: 100
Caught: None
Total Defeated/Encountered: 400

October 6
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 6
While, while, while. I haven't done this in that long.
Encountered: 100
Caught: None
Total Defeated/Encountered: 500

October 7
Break from Shiny Hunting for Cubone
I caught a Cubone! Finally! I then went to the restaurant to get money and get Cubone some experience so it would actually know attacks and give it supplements with the money.

November 14
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 7 (Back from Hiatus)
I caught another Cubone for a mate for my previous one and a Lotad. Not shiny, though.
Defeated: 50
Total Defeated/Encountered: 550

November 17
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 8 (Plus Nidoran Madness!)
After doing some Shiny hunting back at the old location of Valley Windworks, I fought at the restaurant for funds and hatched a few Cubone. I then kept trying to find a Nidoran of any kind and fortunately got a female. I then made several Eggs and hatched them, and two of them turned out male! So I got both Nidoran in one shot. I actually heard a rumor that you can get the male version from a female, and I was trying that out.
Defeated: 50
Total Defeated/Encountered: 600

November 18
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 9
I also fought at the restaurant for funds and put a Cranidos up for trade for a Spiritomb. Hopefully it'll go through.
Encountered: 100
Total Defeated/Encountered: 700

SonicKitsune · Post by **SonicKitsune** » Fri 23 Nov, 2007 3:12 am

November 22
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 10
I decided to take down the Cranidos I put up and placed a Piplup for trade instead. They're more popular, and I might actually get something, hopefully.
Encountered: 200
Total Defeated/Encountered: 900

November 23
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 11
I found another Spiritomb and exchanged a female Cherubi for it. I then reposted the Piplup for a Glameow.
Encountered: 100
Total Defeated/Encountered: 1000

November 24
Finally, Heatran!
After 1000 unsuccessful attempts to catch a Shiny, I decided to finally go after Heatran, who I managed to catch. I also received a Glameow for the Piplup I posted before.

Non-GTS Trading Insanity!
I temp-traded a Mew for Palkia, and also gave a Snorunt for a Charmander and a Glameow for a Bagon! Thanks Ryan!

December 17
Transfer Non-Insanity!
I transferred over a few more Pokémon, which I haven't done in a while.

December 18
Transfer Non-Insanity, Part Deux!
See yesterday, except replace the last part with "which I also did yesterday".

December 23
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 12 (The Non-Epic Return)
I caught a Corsola since I didn't have one and they were swarming, then went onto the GTS and traded a Piplup for a Chimchar, the last Sinnoh starter I didn't have, and tried looking for Shinies again. Still no luck. Doubt I'll get one till at least 6000 tries. After the next 1000, I'll go after Regigigas.
Encountered: 100
Total Defeated/Encountered: 1100

December 28
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 13
I evolved my Pikachu that I had imported previously into a Raichu, which I think is better, but it sucks how it can't learn new attacks. It's like Nintendo didn't want us to evolve Raichu...
Defeated: 100
Encountered: 200
Total Defeated/Encountered: 1400

December 29
Old-School Shiny Hunting: Day 14
This is pretty much all I did on the game.

The King That's Only Slightly Hard To Get To
I saw the Diamond Dust at Snowpoint, then went into the temple and eventually got Regigigas. It took a while, but I got it.

January 19
