I kinda think I need to build a blanket fort and have some gamers over to eat junk food and play on our Nintendo DS family of systems and Nintendo Wii. I think that would fix me (also s/o to this DSi I bought in Japan that has a built in nostalgia filter on the touch screen)

And then exactly 10 years later this little one came into existence! Happy birthday to my little HGSS puppy named after a Sinnoh character!

Hey so, resident full odds shiny hunter with Link in their name, here to say that I am SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR THIS OOT REMAKE! The amount of care that has clearly been put into this game to make it look how the developers imagined back in 1998 is so apparent and that makes me so happy.

Update on this, I’ve definitely slowed down these past few days, but I’m approaching 30 pages and I still have 7 shinies left to talk about. Editing this might be a nightmare but I’m excited. I love getting to talk about my Pokemon adventures I think.

Wrote 17 1/2 pages of a script today and I’m not even halfway through the Badge Quest. I think this video might be very long and I’m both excited and scared to edit it in the coming weeks. Loving writing it though, I forgot that this can be fun when you’re enjoying the story you’re telling.

Went to a retro gaming convention today and picked up another copy of HGSS and these two were the only Pokemon on the SoulSilver. I’m continuing where they left off (0 badges) and these two will be the only Pokemon I use other than an exploder for the roamer hunt. Gotta get Raikou this year frfr.

Damn, just looking at this suit again is making me so happy. This was one of my earlier cosplay hunts back in 2021. I remember finding a shiny Shellos wearing it (completely unrelated to the suit, I had just gotten it and wanted to try it on for stream)

💫Sam💫 @legendlinke.standingintheodds.com · 06/08/2026

Everytime I see a new Spider-Man movie this is how I feel. I freaking love that guy. I gotta break out the suit again for a hunt

Went back to the Zone™️ to finish up the Badge Quest and uh… yeah… insane that my 2 fastest hunts are now both Gastly in the Zone™️. Time to EV train him and evolve for the final battle against Red. But that’s gonna take about a month or so, we’ve got a long trek to San Francisco ahead of us 🌎

Wrapped up my Safari Week with a buzzer beater right before midnight! By far my luckiest unlucky Safari Week yet with 13 shinies found across 5 games (1 game was slacking crazy style) and a total of 109k encounters. I can’t wait for next year when I add 3 more games!

Shiny #2 of #SafariWeek was a Bellsprout! Mr Zone will NOT be happy with this information

Safari Week streaming! These shinies are actually supposed to maybe flee so I may make this face

Well I was expecting the next part of the Badge Quest to happen during Safari Week, but while using the file to hunt for Snubbull (not part of the BQ), 4% Tauros decided to shine so I kinda have to use it right? His name is MarsMision and he’s modest (can’t win em all)

I forgor to post but Badge Quest #15 is here with shiny swarm Yanma!!! An incredibly fast hunt which is crazy and she’s so beautiful. Her name is Exo-Force and she’s quirked up frfr. Can’t believe we now live in a world where Safari Week ends the Badge Quest…

Just installed my first ever controller mod by myself! It was a bit scary since DSiXLs aren’t exactly the cheapest things but honestly, the insideGadgets system is really intuitive and beginner friendly! Only one small hiccup with a single connection to the LEFT control pad, but super easy fix!

Who up being filled with joy and happiness? HeartGold BQ#14, she will become a Forretress and her name is Insectoids.

So basically he is Monke. Another Johto Dex entry in the books and named after my Aipom loving GOAT @cilerba.com

I’m so ready for Safari Week this year. Last year I was working so much (2 jobs) and had so little time to hunt. This year I’m only at 1 job and I took the whole Safari Week off so I can go crazy and (hopefully) stream at least half the days

No BINGO update with this one (kinda), but shiny Pineco after 1380 headbutts in Ilex Forest on phase 1!!! Guess that week off of hunting was worth it LMAO. This marks my 40th shiny for the Johto Dex and my primary target for #CFWeek! Her name is S.O.S. and she’s Sassy (my nature guess!!)

💫Sam💫 @legendlinke.standingintheodds.com · 16/06/2026

Took about a week break from hunting after getting Tyrogue and finally decided to play “Age of Imprisonment”. I had a great time with “Age of Calamity” back when it released in 2020, but holy Hylia does Imprisonment blow it out of the water. Made TotK even better imo and might need to replay it

Shiny Tyrogue after 15739 SRs in Mt Mortar!!! Member #13 of the Badge Quest and the main Pokemon I was hunting for almost all of #RanchWeek (maybe I can get one more (I am delusional)). Also found on my 4th reset of the day and during the Nintendo Direct this morning!!!

💫Sam💫 @legendlinke.standingintheodds.com · 09/06/2026

If anyone was curious how the Badge Quest hunt for Tyrogue is going

💫Sam💫 @legendlinke.standingintheodds.com · 08/06/2026

All I ask of the direct tomorrow is that we get SOMETHING for Zelda. At least some acknowledgment of the 40th anniversary

PSA!!! Never buy replacement batteries for gen 1/2/3 pokemon games that specifically market themselves as "Pokemon replacement battery" they are always low quality and will not last very long. Instead, buy "generic" but compatible batteries from reputable batt manufacturers. Examples below 👇

And there’s another BINGO target/Johto Dex entry! Same game as Eevee too. Welcome Tierlist the Tyrogue to the Ranch!

Found my second Bill’s Eevee today after 4726 SRs!!! And she’s the 1:8 Female (which is why I’m making that face)! Her name is Dawn and she’s now a beautiful Umbreon 🖤💙
