>>18213603I don't have access to the equipment, I don't even know if they are sold in Australia, nor do I particularly want access to it. Genning a Shiny, or a Perfect Legendary or what have you doesn't actually create much investment in that Pokemon. I don't care about the things I've genned in the past, not in the slightest.
But the stuff that I've put work into, things I've SR for or bred for, I feel like that's mine, and no one else's. When I hatch this Pumpkaboo
Implying I'll ever hatch it I am going to care about that shit. I've spent this much time breeding to get a hopefully penta-perfect shiny.
If I just typed it into a program, then suddenly it was there... well, its just a Pokemon. But because I put this much effort in, its going to be more than that. Its going to be MY Pokemon.
