Yup, I know I'm bad at updating this, but at least the layout's pretty now, right? It took me a few days to finish it, which is why I haven't been writing journal posts all week. Maybe I should make this into a weekly-update thing, since I know I'm not going to be good about posting every day or anything, and because not that much happens in a day on VDex for me~

Anyway, onto what I did these few days~ Firstly, I finally caved to my desire to have more money and auctioned off my DEA Smeargle! Sol AB'd it with a GB Player (\o/), 150k pure and 10 special natures. After I received the GBP, I immediately dashed around the land looking for good places to test it out. I managed to catch this little guy after refreshing a few times in Route 45, and then went off to Ecruteak City to refresh for Poliwags. I must say, the GB Player works quite well. I then lent it to Sicc to help her with Christmas hunting.

Speaking of Christmas hunting, a couple of us had the idea of setting up a Christmas wishlist thread to help friends better decide what to gift for Christmas, so I set it up here. The idea is to include some cheap/easy to hunt retros/items/shinies so that your friends know what to get you~ Hopefully everyone will post there and get in the early Christmas spirit~ >w<

As for the special natures department, I received a few new ones this week, including a u mad? Mareep that I bought from Bubblebeam and a Swanky Glameow from eleni. I also got a Trite Glameow from Sicc, in return for an EXTREME Growlithe that I hope I'll get to breeding soon! Notably, after I finished my OC/Character Goal section, I found the BADASS Female Absol REPLAY bred for me a while back. If anyone reading this has read Cage of Eden before, isn't this the perfect Miyauchi? >w< Ridiculously strong, complete badass, and weak to bug types. Anyway, I'm currently intensely fangirling over the series, which got infinitely better after the mangaka decided to focus less on horror and more on survival.

Anyway, that's all for the week! Perhaps I'll update more in a few days, but every Saturday seems good to me too. Anyhow, I'll open the journal up for posts as soon as I fill up the first page I guess XDD Thank you for reading!

While I did succeed in acquiring several new special natures over the past few days, mostly male, I will refrain from talking about them in favor of the... dun dun dunnnn... Absol Event that has been put in place!

Firstly, and this may come as a surprise to many people, Absol is my favorite Pokemon. Along with Flygon, I fell in love with them after watching the Jirachi Wishmaker movie as a youngling. And these Corrupt Absol look absolutely amazing. And the legendary dogs? My favorite trio as well. So I'm really excited for this event. >w<

That said, the appearance and catch rates are quite daunting! After several hours of refreshing, I managed to catch a boy and two girls , and , and ended up using all three of their ?ells to try my hand at a Raikou. No luck though; I managed to see a shiny Shadow Raikou, but a server error prevented the catch from going through, and now that we've hit GMT midnight, I believe the day is over and Entei is now in circulation.

I'll definitely keep trying though! All the sprites from this event are super awesome, and I can't wait to find more~ For my personal reference, I'm going to be looking for an Adamant/Bold/Brave Female Absol that "likes to fight," is "proud of its power," or "hates to lose." Please wish me luck as well! :D

Wow, what a week! I wasn't going to update until Saturday, but then I realized I'd have to write about a whole lot, and I'm pretty excited now so I figured why not?

First off, new Moonspeak natures! Got a Female Gallant Mareep from Kailanichan and a Cowardly Male Buneary from REPLAY, both for a Reserved Seel of the respective gender~ Also won a Male Carefree Tailow from Gerry for the same thing, though it's currently still in egg form and in Lav's party~ Currently, the breeding lists for Rogue Growlithe and Reserved Seel are both down to 1 each! Seems like the Trollcare has seen fit to shed some mercy on us ;A; Hopefully I'll be done with Rogue Growlithe by October 1st, because I should start working on my next super special project! <333

Next is the update on the Absol event! I currently have 4 normal Absol, 2 shinies, 2 Shadow Entei, 1 Shadow Suicune and 1 Shiny Shadow Raikou:





Which means I still want at least a Shiny Shadow Entei and Suicune and a normal Shadow Raikou, which is just 3 more! I currently have 2 ?ells activated, so I'm so close! Please wish me more luck as I refresh! >w<

Speaking of refreshing, the new patch is working well! At first it was so slow, but after Shiro tweaked it a bit, it became just the same as before *A* All I have to do is remember not to right click for the image url anymore, but use the Pokedex button instead :O

Anyway, I was refreshing in the Viridian Forest, so I could look for some Christmas presents for friends! I managed to skip past so many shiny Caterpie and Kakuna it wasn't even funny, but I did get a great load of retros and shinies for presents! Now that I'm done there, I've moved onto Hoenn to hunt Skitty, Nincada and Taillow~

Also, also, I finally found the filmed live on Broadway version of Rent again, which is what I'm using as my refresh companion right now~ A lot of people say that the original cast was better, but this version was the version I watched first so I'm more used to it! Eeee Roger :3 Also the Life Support Meeting song is forever my favorite part in the musical <3333 If you haven't watched Rent, I recommend it! It's really interesting and the songs are excellent~

And seeing as I've filled out the first page, which is what I'd been aiming for to begin with, I'll open up posts here! If there's anything you want to comment on or something you'd like to recommend I put in one of my Reserved posts, please feel free to leave a comment~ Thank you!
