I gotta be honest, I thought I'd only lurk this week since I was basically done with 3rd gen and had no more plans.
I started playing through SS after putting it out for months now. Started all the way from the beggining. It turns out it's more fun than I anticipated.
So I get up to the Lake of Rage and start doing the Gyarados shenanigans to get an Adamant one I know it'll be a shitmon, but I don't care. My team was a bit too crap to stand hits, so I went to the route below to train.
Almost the whole day, training Magnemite, killing Girafarigs for dem Sp. Att EVs, you know, the usual.
Find stuff. Venonat, Noctowl, Flaaffy; whatever appears there, I found it. But you know how Pokémon gods work in mysterious ways.
Start yet another encounter of many. Flaaffy. I could tell something was off the moment I saw it. I knew shone Mareep is pink. I knew shone Ampharos is pink. But I didn't remember how shone Flaaffy looked. "Wait, is its tail orb always green?". I came to the conclusion that it was in the split second that it slid across the screen. "Then why did I get the feeling it was different...?".
'Turbo thinking' goes down the drain as it does its little animation and it goddamn sparkles. Sparkles. God. Damn. Sparkles.

What in the shit just happened? I was just training. Nothing more, nothing less.
After regaining my composture and shedding some tears of joy (ok, not really), I catch it comfortably in a Heal Ball.
And yet again, it might be a shitmon, but I already love it.
And I still don't own the thread's mascot. Pls don't kick me out.
