After 12 years of shiny hunting, I've FINALLY found my first shiny Zubat!! And it looks SO GOOD in LeafGreen! This is phase 4 at 9,206 RE's for my Mt. Moon quest! People like to dunk on shiny Zubat for being common, but the colors are IMMACULATE! Caught her in a Nest Ball!

PINECO FINALLY SHINED - 13,671 encounters on phase FOUR! I'm losing my mind because this was supposed to be a quick little hunt before phase THREE of my roaming Raikou hunt, but I ended up doing 42,937 total encounters BACK TO BURNED TOWER YIPPEEEE

I'm FINALLY tearing open a Prismatic Evolutions figure collection and some Ascended Heroes!! 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik

home is where your DS is 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik

I don't think any cinematic experience in my whole life has brought me as much UNBRIDLED JOY as the Super Mario Galaxy movie 😭

MARIO MOVIE TIME

Just completed my Creator pass application for Pokémon XP! Fingers crossed

I can't believe 10 years ago I was opening box fresh Rocket booster packs for $35 per pack and now that price doesn't even buy you a single pack of Cosmic Eclipse, which is only 6 YEARS OLD 😭

I can't believe I snagged a spot for the first ever Pokémon Champions VGC Regional 🥹

shiny hunting Deoxys at the Diamondbacks game

pulled the AR Clefairy from Perfect Order today!! hoping it's a good sign for tonight 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik

the one silver lining of the ridiculous Pokémon hype right now is that the scalpers only know about trading cards and I can still pick up the INCREDIBLE stuff Pokémon Center has been dropping. Like. What do you MEAN you made OFFICIAL NATIONAL PARK MERCH??

I was gonna get some fries for myself while picking up happy meals for my kids for the new Mario toys, but I draw the line at 30,000 calories

the way VGC oldheads are gonna talk about IVs in 2027

opening a booster box of Perfect Order (and some Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards) to feel something 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik AND YouTube!

Now show me what the shiny Pokémon animation looks like in Champions

wait, is Pokémon Champions actually gonna be good?? - Custom ball throws - Sliding scales for stats - Robust character customization If there's single player mode, I'm gonna LOSE it

I found Shiny Unown A while watching the Houston Regionals VG Top 8!!! #PlayPokemon

Thank you so much to everybody who showed up for the Houston Regionals Retro Shiny Challenge!! It was so amazing to gather so many shiny hunters together in one place!

buying a new DS to shiny hunt on every month has been cheaper than the ADHD meds my doctor told me I needed, and they both do the same thing, soooo 🔴LIVE at @ twitch.tv/kwikpanik

FINALLY! I got Pokémon XD Gale of Darkness on my Switch 2!!

chops on the grill and LeafGreen on the Game Boy Advance SP, just like Arceus intended

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I JUST DISCOVERED MY FAVORITE POKÉMON IS IN POKOPIA AFTER 40 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY I'M GONNA THROW UP

16 years ago, I picked up my SoulSilver version pre-order, not knowing it would not only be my absolute favorite Pokémon experience of all time, but my favorite game of all time. To this day, I'm still discovering new secrets built in these love letters to the franchise.

went undefeated at the Perfect Order prerelease with Serperior and Rosa while shiny hunting for Maractus between rounds! long live Unova!

it's so cool that when you grow up, you can just play the same old Pokémon games on the same old consoles every Friday night, just with better drinks Oh, I'm live yapping about nostalgia 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik

there's a 1/8192 chance this becomes the best night of my life

‼️HOUSTON POKEMON REGIONAL ATTENDEES‼️ The Retro Shiny Challenge will be held on Saturday at 6PM CST - after the end of competition for VGC! Your FireRed and LeafGreen copies on Switch are eligible for participation!! Bring your PokeWalker to exchange gifts :)

I fixed the PokéBall matching issue with FireRed and LeafGreen shiny hunting by trading over some cool balls from my childhood Emerald file! I'm all set to find shiny Clefairy 🥰 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik

they're trying to cancel shiny Pokémon hunters for... *checks notes* being full of whimsy and joy??? any way, here's a picture of my beautiful fully shiny team in SoulSilver that took me 3 years of hunting to find 🥰

I can't even fathom what the state of my mental health would be right now if Pokopia had shiny Pokemon

a little bit crazy that my mom buying me a little red cartridge 27 years ago turned into a daily routine of checking my Pokopia Island, then training my shiny Pokémon in LeafGreen, followed by getting in some VGC practice for regionals while sipping coffee in a Nodorino mug

everybody is posting their shiny Deoxys in FireRed and LeafGreen and I'm still over here showing this lady Pokémon for Luxury Balls 😮‍💨

I told myself I wasn't gonna get attached to Pokopia, but this morning, I couldn't find Hitmonchan ANYWHERE and I thought that he left because I removed his punching bag to make Hitmontop appear, and I was having an ACTUAL CRISIS Turns out he set up shop at the PC I just built

me when you call me a shill for buying all the Kanto nostalgia bait merch and the $70 key card game 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/Kwikpanik

The new Switch release of Fire Red and Leaf Green is really great, but I wish I could fold my game in half and stick it in my pocket to take everywhere. Like maybe we make an advanced Switch with hinges... like a Special one. And we call it the Switch Advance SP

if you did encounters for that shiny hunt you've been working on instead of doom scrolling, you'd have that shiny already back to work, trainer 😘

Good morning to the new Kanto shiny hunters ONLY ❤️💚

I LOVE seeing all of the new FireRed and LeafGreen shiny hunters on the tl, but y'all gooooottttaaaa stop counting time spent on the hunt and start counting encounters. 30 hours "stuck at the lab" isn't even 1/6th of the way to shiny odds 😭

idc if it's just a key card, if I'm paying $70, you WILL be giving me a little colorful piece of plastic to put in my console and a cute little bag for my game release

a beverage and a new absurdly difficult for no reason shiny hunt in FireRed and LeafGreen 🔴LIVE at twitch.tv/kwikpanik

do the kids playing FireRed and LeafGreen for the first time know that these little dark grass patches indicate hidden item locations without the golden sparkles on the ground?

so, I got the new Pokémon Switch games running on my old Game Boy

boy dinner is going crazy rn

this one's for all of the new FireRed and LeafGreen shiny hunters
