Counterpoint with the breeding: Flame Body or Magma Armor cut the steps in half, and you can do five eggs at a time. It might be faster overall, but I'm not sure. Also for the boxes, you can just release excess one if you're willing to do so.
Jesu, Zoroark literally kills the villain in this manga adaptation, I quite like this villain, just straight up upgrade in comparisson with the previous ones.
i never really got into the whole Shiny craze. i thought it was neat in Gen2 when you encountered the Red Gyrados (mainly because Red is my favorite color), but otherwse there are very few shinies that appeal to me.
off the top of my head (besides the aformentioned Gyrados) the only Shinies I really like are Scolipede and Salamance. I could probably pick a few more, but otherwise everyone else just looks "sickly" like they got exposed to too much Nuclear Waste or something
I clicked both of those and they're both bootleg/repro listings. Anything that low in price for such a sought-after game is definitely bootleg, whether the listing states it or not, and if they have a whole bunch in stock then that brings the likelihood to 200%. The GBA market has been absolutely flooded with fakes for many years, never buy any GBA game unless a picture is provided of the Nintendo logo on the PCB (pic related)
Either a picture with the plastic case taken off to expose the whole PCB, or a picture angled up the slot with the pins since it's printed just above that where it's still exposed. >t. all 5 of my childhood gen 3 cartridges were fake
For that matter, be careful with DS games too, a couple years ago I bought a copy of Shadow Dragon off eBay that ended up being fake. Didn't realize I'd ever have to worry about that, since before that the only fake listings I saw were obvious and used the weird misshapen plastic shell mold that all those R4i carts did. Check for fakes in brick-and-mortar stores too, even established ones like GameStop, employees rarely actually know how to tell the difference.

Part of my collecting in PLA.is because I learned you can switch the Pokedex icons, and it really puts into perspective how many shinies are green and mustardy yellow.
That said, I know they weren't manually chosen until G6, so most are kinda rough.
Buuuuuut...
The beasts are subtle, but I really like them.
All black shinies are cool as fuck
I feel like shiny haters are this
I think instead of a single shiny you could have variants like a black/gold/blue versions of all pokemon and they have different stats added to it (ex: + HP - defense)
Is there any reason why they never did more TCG video games after the GBC?
I was reading this oneshot manga and I know nothing about the TCG. But I loved to play the Yu-Gi-Oh GBA games and learnt much just by playing it instead of the real card games.
Seems like a wasted opportunity to not use videogames to introduce them to the TCG.
I think a lot of the early shinies use ugly colours because the GBC had a limited colour palette, and then the GBA originally had a terrible muted display. Generation 2 and 3 have more than half their shinies bright neon pink or green. But then with generation 4 they're all great, with maybe two exceptions being boring.
I think a shiny hunting thread would be cool. I used to have shiny races with my brother when we were younger, in generation 6 or 7 you could sit down for a couple hours and expect one of the two games to get a shiny in that time very confidently.

Different kinds of rare individual Pokémon would be cool, but they absolutely cannot be that rare and have any kind of gameplay advantage. It would just be shit, not everything has to tie back to the battling. I like that Pokémon has variation in it's gameplay, some people are die hard competitive players but others focus on the collecting. There's smaller aspects like contests I'm sure lots of people like, and maybe some brain dead retards who play these games just for the story.
Aside from more realistic 'mon noises, another thing missed from the Stadium vidya is how 'mons could have varying colors based on nicknames. Not shinies, just changes of normal colors. Like a more green or more orange Electabuzz, or different Magneton magnets.
Sperging incoming but this myth needs to die in a fire already. It has been demonstrably false ever since shinies were introduced. Every single shiny that made it to the final games is handpicked. The only time that wasn't the case was in the Spaceworld demo, where it's extremely obvious.
Sure, a lot of blue Pokemon in gen 2 turn pink and vice versa:
However, not only are they not the exact same shade of blue/pink, but this ignores the ones that don't:
Pokemon with the exact same shade of color can have different shinies, even within the same evolutionary line, which I don't think would happen if they were picked by a machine. Look at the Pidgeot line, it has the exact same shade of brown in its body, but the shinies are yellow, gold and green:
Meanwhile, in the Spaceworld demo, where shinies weren't handpicked, every single Pokemon that shared a color also shared a shiny, no exceptions:
Gathering all these sprites took a lot longer than I care to admit. Krita is shit at pixel art and Microsoft for some baffling reason is still trying to turn Paint into an actual art program, and every time it updates it gets worse at pixel art. Every time I move something or use the fill tool it creates a shitton of slightly off-color artifacts that I have to manually fix. It still doesn't have features to make it competent enough to use as an art program and now it's gotten worse at the only thing I use it for.
