    In PokeMMO, you can participate in community organised catching contests. 1 hour to catch given species of pokemon, with a score based on IV, nature and species. First place is often a shiny pokemon ! Totally emulates this feeling in a multiplayer way, with the added bonus of chatting with the other players

    I always wondered why certain Pokemon only show up in National Park when the contest is on. Like, do the event organizers release wild Scyther, Pinsir, and the like into the park for the content and then wrangle up the ones who weren’t caught when they’re done?

    The worst part about the bug catching contest is that it's not every day of the week tbh, Soul Silver is really in a league of its own when it comes to mini games/events in the main series

    Man I love the bug catching contest. Kid me played it a lot, also caught bugs irl. Nowadays I have a box with every possible bug pokemon in a sports ball, including evolutions! The only thing I haven't caught there yet is a shiny, and I doubt I ever will tbh

  • @frandaesquina
    @frandaesquina День тому

    It was my first shiny in my first Crystal playthough. It hatched from The egg that is given you in The daycare and I thought The coloring was a bug. Evolved into a Hitmonlee. To this day Hitmonlee is my favorite pokémon

    As a pretty big Caterpie fan, thanks for acknowledging we exist and that the adorable worm Pokémon isn't just a joke. Caterpie is just special. I know it's a pretty common and weak Pokémon, but it tries its best and that's what's important. It's so easy to get lost in the weeds of numbers and whatnot. But to appreciate Caterpie, one doesn't have to do that. It's enough to love its simple, effective, and cute design. Caterpie is just great like that!

    I'm such a bad pokemon trainer, my first gen 2 Eevee never evolved because I excitedly used a buncha rare candies on it and got it to level 100 without it's happiness ever rising enough to trigger an evolution. I waited patiently the while game for it to evolve into Umbreon... but it never did..... ):

    'Big Honey Bun' appropriate, considering Zigzagoon looks like one

  • @GroundThing

    I know it's a minor thing, but not having Shinies contribute to score in HGSS kind of disappoints me. Like, maybe it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I sort of like it when the game recognizes these little cool features. By the same metric, I think it would be cool if other NPCs, like the ones that rate your pokemon's happiness or IVs also were to remark on it, with a little "Whoa, I've never seen a [Species] that looks like that before" or something.

  • @axel8912

    This makes me wish that bw2 had a bug catching contests in castelia city, makes alot of sense cuz their leader is a bug leader, gen 5 added alot of bugs but also there's a perfect location(s) for it. Where you find Eevee or in the park just before you leave to the desert

  • @TaIathar

    The line "... using Pokemon with beautiful colors ..." is probably referring to shiny pokemon. Still never seen anyone find a shiny in the Bug Catching Contest though.
