Shiny Stunfisk. A lighter brown, blue highlights.

Shiny Magikarp. Golden.

Shiny Gastly. Purple "body" with blue gas.

Shiny Arbok. Yellowy orangey whatever color. Like a fake gold. Blue markings.

Got a shiny Stunfisk finally, as well as my first Z-A Magikarp & Gastly, and an Arbok. Stunfisk was the only one I was actively trying to get here, every now and then checking the zone with the river on both sides. Finally lucked out.

Shiny Mega Froslass. Most notable difference is the sash being more pinkish.

Shiny Whirlipede. Has blue circles.

Shiny Alpha Mega Victreebel. Neon, fall colored leaves and blue lips.

Shiny Alpha Mega Ampharos. Purpley pink.

Found another female Snorunt, so I evolved it into Froslass, got Whirlipede, an Alpha Bellsprout that I evolved straight to Victreebel & the static Alpha Ampharos, which appeared IMMEDIATELY after I left the zone with Bellsprout. Only Whirlipede is new to my collection, but this a good set.

Shiny Mega Mawile. Has some red/burgundy where black was.

Shiny Fletchinder. Some golden bronze in place of the silvery grays.

Shiny Pancham! Brown instead of black fur.

Another Shiny Pidgey. Greeny-yellow.

Got more birds, Mawile (whom I've been trying to get since the start) and Pancham are the big gets here for me.

Shiny Watchog. A bit more burgundy & green stripes instead of yellow.

Shiny Pyroar. White replaces a lot of the other colors.

Shiny Alpha Goomy. Yellowy skin and purple cheeks.

Shiny Binacle. Very neon and gaudy.

Add Watchog, Pyroar, Alpha Goomy & Binacle to the list.

Was trying to get Staryu for some of these, lol.

Shiny Alpha Mega Sharpedo. Purple instead of blue.

Another Shiny Carvanha. Green & blue.

Shiny Dedenne. Brown with some white instead of orange and all that.

Shiny Swirlix. Kind of tan and brown instead of white and pink.

Back with some shinies in Box 2. Alpha Sharpedo, another Carvanha, a Dedenne that spawned on a roof & a Swirlix that IMMEDIATELY spawned when the day/night cycle changed.

I'm not a huge fan of the idea of AFK stuff and stuff like "bench reset" just takes way too long and isn't fun to me. While looping the same area over and over is also kind of monotonous, it is more or less how hunting always worked so I have done that for 2 areas (19 & 10 I think?).

So half of them were just completely random encounters that I wasn't trying to do anything, just spawned while I was wandering or doing story, but the others are a mix of jumping between zones that had things I wanted and hoping for the best.

A few I did reload the same zone by "flying" back to it.

It's ya boi. Shiny Carvanha. Green & blue.

Shiny Carvanha being a muppet.

Henshin a go-go, Shiny Carvanha!

Shiny Carvanha. Serene.

YEAH.

Sorry, this is one of the ones I have actually been trying to get in this zone, and makes 30 shinies in Z-A, filling my first box. I love shiny Carvanha.

Shiny Pumpkaboo. Purple pumpkin & black top.

Shiny Pidgeotto. Has the green yellow feathers and an orange crest.

Shiny Mega Absol. All the blue is now pink.

Shiny Weepinbell. It is a little more subdued neon than usual. Hard to explain.

The final birthday shinies are a medium Pumpkaboo, a Pidgeotto, Absol & Weepinbell.

I actually got a second Pidgey & Bellsprout, but chose to evolve them.

Shiny Bunnelby. All the brown is white and it has red eyes.

Another Shiny Manectric, but this one is Alpha. Black fur instead of blue.

Shiny Slowpoke. A light purpley pink. Way more obvious than previous games.

Shiny Tynamo. Hard to tell, but the white has a blueish tint now.

These and the last tweet were all birthday shinies. I got Bunnelby, an Alpha Manectric, Slowpoke & Tynamo.

I can't get over the fact Slowpoke actually stands out now.

Another Shiny Audino. Purple

Shiny Mega Kangaskhan. Desaturated colors.

Shiny Fletchling. Kind of golden bronze feathers instead of gray.

Shiny Pidgey. I don't even know what colors these are. Yellow green?

I got the Kangaskhan! As well as another Audino and after 120+ hours I finally stumbled upon Fletchling & Pidgey, lol.

Thank you!! 💚

My birth has been acknowledged.

I support you and will do it too in solidarity. Can squirt each other if you want. Double squirticide.

Come here and make Tang.

I love the blackberry one, it has been a while since I have had cream or strawberry.

I haven't had cherry from a can in a long time, but I have gotten it as a fountain drink from Wendy's frequently.

I believe so, because my kidney specialist made a comment when I asked about zero sugar Gatorade. Even if it didn't, it (sugar free soda) makes my stomach sick though.

If I end up in the hospital, it was me neglecting my type-2 diabetes.

I'm ready to let myself go back to the earth.

Shiny Skrelp. Blue & purple.

Shiny Cleffa. Has green ears.

Shiny Audino. Purple.

Shiny Clefairy. Green ears.

And that's not all! I got Skrelp, Cleffa, Audino & a Clefairy.

Unsure if I will evolve the Clefairy or wait and see if I get another. I've been trying to get a shiny Kangaskhan & Drampa. I'll also take more Furfrou for the different trims if it happens.

Shiny Inkay. Body is a bit of a golden color instead of blue.

Shiny Bellsprout. Leaves are a bit golden instead of green.

Shiny Eevee. Fur is white/gray instead of brown.

Shiny Doublade. The blades are red, the scarf thing is purple, yellow accents and whatever.

Got some more friends. Inkay, Bellsprout, Eevee & Doublade. Haven't decided what to evolve Eevee into (if anything). Will eventually evolve these.

Shiny Pinsir. The body is now a blue-purple color and the horns have a bit of a yellow tint.

Shiny Mega Pinsir. Like regular Pinsir, it has the purple blue body, but the horns are normal colored. Wings & eyes are greenish yellow now.

Finally, for now, my Pinsir I just got. This was high on my most wanted since I love Pinsir.

With the exception of Pidgeot, Snorunt & Litleo these are also all brand new shinies for me too. 💚

Shiny Patrat. Less saturated fur and blue eyes.

Shiny Snorunt. The outside is now blue and it has red eyes (not seen in this pic).

Shiny Mega Manectric. The blue fur is now black. The eye color for Shiny Manectric becomes blue, but it stays red for the Mega.

Shiny Alpha Mega Pidgeot. Basically all the feathers got a bit more golden.

This batch includes Patrat, a female Snorunt (which I intend to evolve into Froslass), Mega Manectric & an Alpha Mega Pidgeot. The Patrat was full odds, but I got the Shiny Charm before the other 3.

Also saw a Shiny Pidgey, but it flew away the second I found it so I failed that encounter.

Shiny Litleo in Pokémon Legends Z-A. The dark brown is more beige, like a real lion.

Shiny Dandy Trim Furfrou. The white fur is black, the Dandy Trim adds green highlights and looks like it has a necktie and top hat.

Shiny Pansear. It is more of a light orange than red.

Shiny Aron. It has red eyes & a blueish underbelly.

My collection of shiny Pokémon from Pokémon Legends Z-A so far. No "methods" involved, just random encounters as I wandered or played the game.

This set is a Litleo, a Furfrou (made it Dandy Trim), Pansear & Aron. These were all full-odds.

I actually got it at launch because right after I was like "NOT GETTING IT YET" my Switch's battery started to expand lol. So I actively don't talk about it.

Made more sense to get that than another old Switch, so I've mostly played just Switch games/backlog.

Donkey Kong Bananza & Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

I have two games now.

Many such cases.

I like to keep everyone on their toes. Then be weird about it and then say "jk unless".

I'm quite sick of all facets of the internet.

Social media, as a whole, is getting so boring and I hate it.

YouTube recommends me like 5 videos and just shows me then in different orders.

Nobody gives a shit. Everything's expensive.

I'm just so exhausted. I'm not happy, man. lol.

I had no intention of getting it anywhere near release, the Direct had kinda sold me on it, but the deal maker was BestBuy randomly giving me $10 that I had to spend within like a week, so I got DK for $60 instead of $70 at launch.

No regrets.

Donkey Kong with multi-color fur, a bowtie, suspenders with Arcade pink girders & a miner's hat, grinning in the Planet Core with Pauline, wearing her red dress and hat from Super Mario Odyssey, on his shoulder.

Save Game screen showing off my 100% complete profile with 3 star icons and 1000 bananas.

I have 100% completed my first and only Nintendo Switch 2 game, Donkey Kong Bananza.

It was fantastic. I don't think I could adequately express my gushing about it without spoilers and making a long thread.

Easily, IMHO, one of Nintendo's best. Absolutely recommend if you have access to a Switch 2
