I’ve been watching a show on Netflix called K-Foodie Meets J-Foodie; a show about Korean and Japanese foods. I highly recommend if you love food shows like me! I just finished all the seasons on there tonight and I saw that Mr Matsushige isn’t doing the next season. I’m heartbroken!

The only thing getting me through closing shifts for the next 4 days is the thought of being able to finish the crochet badge quest on my next day off.

I bought some bits from Ali Express to try and fix the 3DS I’ve installed a capture card into (speakers and ZIF connectors). No luck! Neither the touch screen or audio work. I can record video so not a total loss but this has been an expensive endeavour.

I’m about to finish the final Pokemon for my crochet quest and I ran out of dark blue yarn. I literally only have one more piece to make..

First time getting to sit down and do this in so long

A camera is mounted on a tripod. It is pointed at some skeins of yarn. Crochet objects sit on the table with a notebook.

I haven’t posted my Sleep shinies this week because of a lot of very early mornings. I got another Wobbuffet earlier in the week but, more importantly, I got a shiny Bulbasaur Sleep Ditto! Shame it doesn’t take on the shiny Bulbasaur colour. 7846 Pokemon studied overall.

Here’s my 9 games that shaped me! Most are from my childhood/teen years with Shield being the only outlier from later on. That game was instrumental in the creation of I’ve Pet That Pokemon.

My 9 games that shaped who I am. It features The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Pokemon Snap, Super Mario All Stars, Pokemon Red, Zoo Tycoon, Pokemon Shield, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

I bought a second hand 3DS XL to fit a capture board. It looked a bit scuffed but I should have checked it all over properly before modifying it. I got the capture card working but I have no sound. I think I busted something for the touch screen too. I’ll get it working eventually.

I think Nigella was a great fit on Bake Off (I knew she would be). I liked her more artistic comments on some of the bakes. I’m terrible with names but I really liked the girl who made the bog cake. I hope she improves and goes further.

I finished some crochet commissions so for the first time in like 3 months I can crochet for myself again! I can finish the crochet badge quest!

I’ve really fallen off my DTQ since Safari Week happened. I had a dream last night that I phased on a shiny Paras and I was like “no, skip it” and I just continued hunting like nothing happened

I had a dream in Korean last night. People were talking to me and I kept shouting that I didn’t understand and to slow down. It was so stressful.

The only mainline Metroid I haven’t played is 2. I don’t have the remake but the original is on the Switch. Ooh boy is it rough to play without a map. I’m lost already.

I found a shiny Togepi in Sleep this morning. Just 69 Pokemon studied since the last shiny (nice), 7725 overall.

I had my last shift with my favourite coworker today. I gave her a quick hug and then had to leave before I started bawling.

I was too late to preorder the Metroid Ravenous special edition. I hope it gets restocked. I swear stuff like this never used to sell out so quick

I think the Ocarina of Time remake looks good. I think Wolverine looks good. Not gonna listen to nonstop negativity about every single game/movie coming out and I’m just gonna enjoy my little things.

I’ve been stagnating these last few months. I’ll try and do better for September. I let the girls down and I offer my deepest apologies to Nayeon, Jeongyeon 💚, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu.

Man, I just don’t think I’m gonna be able to take part in Fossil Week this year. I’ve put off hunting Zubat since July in my LeafGreen DTQ and I’ve started up my Pokewalker Oak Challenge, plus my crochet. I don’t think I should put my current projects on hold any longer.

Shiny Sleep Ralts from yesterday. It came after 116 Pokemon studied, 7656 overall. I was so sick yesterday, I didn’t think about posting it.

I had to replace the battery in my Pokewalker. I put a new battery in and it didn’t turn back on. People online suggested cleaning the whole thing so I took it all apart. No dice. Can you figure out why this battery didn’t work? Answer in the alt text

I thought it’d be a good time to start my HeartGold Professor Oak Challenge and of course it has to start with a shiny. First time doing this hunt! I’m not recording it live, I’ll just log it all as a journal.

I couldn't find anything about this online but I had Iron Treads in my top 3 before entering a Team Star Base. Then once inside, it skipped them for my 4th Pokemon. I thought it was a level thing when it happened early on but Azumarill is way higher level than Iron Treads here. Are paradoxes banned?

Getting around to finally editing my Safari Week video. I hope to have it out this weekend. Then I can edit my penultimate crochet video and make a start on the final Pokemon!

I went to big Tesco to find some of the Krispy Kreme Pokemon donuts. They were sold out but they don’t even sell the Bulbasaur one anyway.

Took a day off from hunting but I’m gonna try and hit 5x odds today (I really hope I don’t reach it). I’ve been sticking to just 3 consoles for ease and comfort even if I’m getting in less encounters.

I forgot to post these Sleep shinies from a few days ago. I haven’t seen a shiny in a month but two showed up at once. I didn’t even notice Pichu until I got the hungry notif. They came after 262 Pokemon studied since the last shiny, 7540 overall.

Actually getting burnt out on shiny hunting in the Safari Zone. I go slower than most when hunting and usually take breaks when I’m not feeling it but I’ve felt compelled to hunt full-on here, especially as overtime extends more and more. I hope my eventual video is entertaining despite being barren

33k. Now over 4x odds! I hope my luck turns soon!

Man… I know it was inevitable but it still kinda sucks. I guess I’ll have to juggle Pokemon between games if I ever want to restart a file in older gens.

I got asked again if I wanted to step up to a supervisor position at work. I was gonna take the day to think about it but ultimately just said no because I’m at comic con & didn’t want it weighing on my mind all day.

Been thinking a lot about doing another Professor Oak Challenge recently. I miss the grind. I have a Pokewalker so a HeartGold one could be fun? (Albeit maybe torturous) I need to do a playthrough of HGSS for two other different projects anyway so I could kill 3 birds with one stone.

Hitting triple odds almost 3 weeks into Safari Week. I know I’m going slow but I’m still going. I can’t hunt this weekend so it might go on for four whole weeks.

21,000 encounters, still no shiny. I made the thumbnail for the video when the shiny is eventually found (I hope it’s soon)

Hitting 18k. I’m super tired after work tonight so I’m just 3x hunting so I don’t have to keep my eyes on 8 consoles.
