Hey everybody! This seems to be my first ever journal!

I wish my first journal could be of good news though...well here goes nothing:

As (some? x3) my watchers know; i'm a shiny Pokemon hunter and have been since September last year (2012) and report my findings on here so i can upload them to Serebii on the shiny Pokemon thread; unfortunately i had to delete almost all of my shiny finds, here's why:

I lent my friend my Pokemon Black game (the one with most of my shiny Pokemon in) a few weeks back and they gave it back to me and all but...later that day when i wanted to continue my shiny hunt; i found that my game kept crashing on me (wouldn't even get past 'Autumn' on the screen) i tried everything; including trying it out on my new 3DS, but to no avail, it just kept crashing on me at the exact same spot (at 'Autumn') so unfortunately i had to restart the game again; for the first time in over 6 months

For now; as a result of this, i've decided to just restart all my Pokemon games (from Fire Red and Leaf Green onwards, working on Leaf Green right now) and i won't be shiny hunting for quite a while (at least 2 months i'd say) since i put a lot of work into them the past 6 months, so for now there won't be no shiny Pokemon updates from me.

Luckily i still have my shiny event Pichu, Raikou, Entei and Suicune (SoulSilver). Giratina (Platinum) and Cottonee (Black 2); so all's not lost. Will transfer them all to my Japanese Black 2 before i restart them all, and only my shiny Cottonee and shiny Giratina updates will stay up as they're the only shiny Pokemon i have left now (not including my event ones).

Also i may as well say that when i do start shiny hunting again i won't be spending as much time on it anymore (or playing Pokemon as much in general) as this turn of unfortunate events has scarred my shiny hunting enthusiasm and now i have nothing to show for the past 6 months of my life (feel like i've wasted the past 6 months of it).

Anyway; with me having a lot of college work, my job (not to mention having an amazing boyfriend now since early February ) and other things in my life-trying to move house for one. I lack both the enthusiasm and the time now and i'm sorry but i hope you understand...

Sorry my first journal entry is so depressing, but oh well life goes on as they say.

That's all for now. Thank you for much for reading this loooooong (boring? x3) passage (if you gotten this far)
