What do the runes mean?

Something embarrassing about a ship I'm currently into that I threw in there for the fun of it haha. It has nothing to do with the picture.

I managed to catch one of these not long ago...

Not only does he look just like one of my characters and have the same personality, but he turned out to have awesome stats, too. XD

Hit a gold mine~

That's pretty epic, actually! I've never gotten a shiny before on my own besides the red gyrados and shiny pichu that you get through the event with Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Been playing since the 90s, but no go ahaa. I've never tried any of the methods to get one, so maybe that doesn't help... I did get pokerus from a wild pokemon in Sapphire, though, and the odds of that are supposed to be pretty crazy!

o____o; People tell me all the time that I'm ridiculously lucky.

I got a silver Houndour in Gold/Silver as my first shiny through breeding, and then its baby was also shiny (but that's due to an EV issue that they later fixed in the games), got a gold Geodude in my Pearl version, a gold Shinx in my Diamond version, a silver Rattata in my Fire Red (and this was all through just random encounters), and in my current X version, I officially have a blue Psyduck, brown Swirlix, bronze Machop, blue Whimsicott, and the red Absol... and none of them were found using any special methods, or in hoards... just from me doing a butt-ton of power-training and randomly running into them.

I've also gotten Pokérus in my Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Leaf Green, and Diamond versions...

...maybe I am lucky.

Yeah, I think you are ! I might just not have enough time to dedicate that many hours to the game, unfortunately ahh

I... have way too much time on my hands. XD

Haha, good for you though! I wish I did ahaaa
