I cannot believe I am even saying this, but:
It is over.
This was the most grueling hunt I have ever done. I have SO MANY thoughts going through my head right now, so I'll come back to write them down later after I rest. 🧡💚💚🧡

These last two days have been insane... Shiny 4% chansey at phase 16, I'm not gonna spoil if I caught it or not, but I said I just needed to see it for it to count for my bingo, so this is another bingo target done whatever the result is. I now gotta hunt heatmor, cause seeing my luck it gotta shine

SHINY FARAWAY ISLAND MEW AFTER 1289 ENCOUNTERS!
I'm absolutely stunned. This was my first 1/8192 hunt to go under odds, and it was so far under odds too! I was expecting this hunt to go on for months more, but it ended up being a last-minute Valentine's Day surprise - and was nicknamed accordingly!

I (21F) pay 180k Pokédollars for a one bedroom apartment off an alley in Lumiose City. Overnight my entire block was converted into a Wild Zone, and now I can't fetch the mail without an entire pride of Pyroar trying to burn me to death. I went to a protest and got called "mean" by a 13 y/o. AITA?

Finally, after 38,251 encounters, I can begin my dual White/White 2 Badge Quest with this wonderful shiny Snivy!
My longest hunt encounter-wise by FAR, and also technically one I've been going on and off for for a few years (albeit being mostly unserious attempts from 2018-2022)

ICE agents have started dressing up as utility workers to lure us out of our homes/get permission to enter. Do NOT open your door for them and verify that you are dealing with a real worker by calling the police or your utility company.

UPDATE: I am freaking out over nothing :)
I forgot about a key factor: the battery. When the battery is dry, this ensures the game starts on the same seed every time you boot the game up, making hitting specific frames much easier. The initial seed changes every time with a live battery, however

I wonder if I should try starting a new save file every day or two 🤔 I've been using the same save files since I started this hunt and I don't know if I keep getting the same Jirachi or not.
I wish there was more information about this hunt so I could know if I'm doing it correctly 😭

I love that I'm almost double odds for WISHMKR Jirachi 🥲 I love that I'm paranoid about whether or not I'm doing this hunt correctly, because I'm using a faster version of the corruption method, but there are no videos of anyone online finding the shiny this way 🥲🥲🥲

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)
