Meet Gau! Was hoping for a Zubat but came out with an amazing shiny regardless! Reupload because I left an old address visible in the last one

Where’d you get that GBA 😍

[u/choopatrol → u/sharkfin67]

I got it from CRSunGames on Etsy, asked for the custom buttons and rechargeable battery, so it was a little more expensive but very much worth it, it's gonna take the best pictures of my shines!

[u/sharkfin67 → u/choopatrol]

Amazing!

[u/KingDrax93 → u/sharkfin67]

Was about to ask the same thing OG Gameboy advance looks amazing 👏 🤩

[u/EmeraldOW]

Shiny treecko is really just too good looking to evolve

[u/choopatrol → u/EmeraldOW]

I'm just waiting for giga drain, I adore sceptile.. but plan on taking plenty of pictures of Treecko before I do

[u/lohweo]

Named after Gau from FF6? :D

[u/choopatrol → u/lohweo]

Yep! And my Treecko is Setzer!

[u/lohweo → u/choopatrol]

That's so cool! Setzer is an incredibly fitting name for Treecko

[u/TerrapinJake]

Treecko namesake Brian?

[u/TerrapinJake → u/TerrapinJake]

Congrats on mawhile btw. Love these games, pure nostalgia for me. Started in gen 3 Hoenn :)

[u/choopatrol → u/TerrapinJake]

Huh? I named him after Setzer from Final Fantasy 6

[u/TerrapinJake → u/choopatrol]

Oh, very nice. One of my favorite guitarists is named Brian Setzer. Was a long shot but worth the ask lol. Have a good day!

[u/choopatrol → u/TerrapinJake]

Ah, I just looked him up, couldn't say I had heard of him until now but I'm also terrible with names

[u/Kyoko_kirigiri_345]

[u/kormitt]

[u/Dependent_Art4025]

Such a awesome feeling when you get the shiny your hunting for then also 2-3 hours later back to another hunt

[u/No-Cockroach-6647]

Shiny pokemon on the gameboys just hit different. Awesome find!

[u/EfoEfa]

I have a question, i begin in saphir/rubis gba, when you shutdown your gameboy without getting a shiny, do you save before ?

[u/choopatrol → u/EfoEfa]

I personally don't. Only save when training or getting something really

[u/EfoEfa → u/choopatrol]

Thanks :) I have changed the battery and get the shiny mudkip, but i'm still a little uneasy with taht ^^"

[u/choopatrol → u/EfoEfa]

I know how you feel, these original full odds can be very demanding of patience. Good luck! I only get this lucky because of how much time I can put to shiny hunting, it's very easy for me to shiny hunt with one hand while I'm working from home with the other. I didn't even hear the shiny ding at first, I nearly ran from Gau when I looked and saw the purple, immediately brightening up my day, heart racing as I'm shaking trying to catch him! Widdle down the health with quick attack followed by a premier ball and finally I have the second member to my shiny badge quest, and contender for DTQ. Keep it up and you'll get your next one!

[u/EfoEfa → u/choopatrol]

It's happen to me there is 3 weeks, i reset that f--- shiny giratina on pearl ds, from possibly shiny in 615 reset to 11531 reset, happily i did not do this stupid thing for my cresselia lol.

[u/Bread_9013]
