Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
My friends' luck is making my own seem infinitely pitiful. One friend caught a shiny Pumpkaboo looking for super sized ones. Another caught a shiny Poliwag in the first horde encounter he saw of them. Another friend caught a shiny Magneton, Nidoran Male, and Vanillite and then proceeded to hatch...
Real life and laziness hits me hard as well. I can't blame you man. It really is the coolest thing. I keep telling my girlfriend all these random things and I'm sure it's getting annoying to her haha. I just can't stop.
I feel silly for being all fanboyish towards you but I don't even care. I found your blog somehow in the depths of the internet (because I fuckin love etymology) and it's all come back to a Pokémon forum and you're here. I don't even.
And suddenly I'm reading the new notable egg moves thread and I see a mod tag your name. I just don't believe it. I'm so astounded by the fact that I switched tabs from your blog to smogon and saw your name on both.
No. Fucking. Way.
I have been reading your etymology blog on tumblr from a year or two ago. I love it. I keep it open in a tab to read off and on.
And I always keep a tab open for Smogon because Pokémon.
