Was doing some EV training when this shiny whismur appeared! I named it WOAH! because that was my reaction to seeing it. I’ll treasure this little thing forever.
This is only the second random encounter shiny ive gotten in a non 3d/new pokemon game in 14 years of playing.
I dont really collect anymore but i never got rid of my cards so i have a ton lying around. I picked out my favorite card of each pokemon (or the only extra card i had of the pokemon) and made a binder of every pokemon in order. It goes all the way up to gen 9 but sort of falls off because by that point i had completely lost interest in actively collecting because of all the scalpers ruining the fun and making it too difficult to get cards, and the explosion of the pokemon tcg market pricing me out of the older cards (which were my favorite to collect).
Anyway, heres 14 years of collecting in one dandy binder. Its a lot of fun to look through! Im still missing a lot of mons but i do pick up cheap singles and newer packs when im in japan visiting my friends, so the dex will continue to grow and hopefully be complete. Also because of reddits image limit, it only goes up to hoenn in this post.
