Then many years later, I traded my shiny Onix and Geodude from Platinum to HG and after a few months of not playing HG (because Black/White was out), I very stupidly started a new game on my HG without even looking to see if I had any worthy pokemon that needed to be sent back to Platinum. Lost a few events too..
