Who cares then. It doesn't matter what hacks you were using, you could have just hacked in a shiny at that point and saved us all from this dull experience.

I didn't cause a fire, but there was a lot of smoke starting (boiling water).
Felt like a fucking idiot that day, so now I'm always paranoid about cooking stuff and always double check there's a timer on it. Never thought being so engrossed in pokemon would eventually result in something like that.

Combee shiny, 5 perfect IV's, Lonely. It is male.

Is there a more useless mon than a male combee?

Not much wizarding going on here my friend. Been playing with mons since Red/Blue and it was because of my younger brother (7 years my junior). I was tasked by the rentals to screen all the games that he played, that and I did a lot of minding of cousins who were all around the same age so it helped with getting along with them.

and with the waifus, meh, I not one who crushes on animated characters so they don't affect me much
