February 1 2024

Bonus: Novie (13%) The past two days have been AWFUL lol. I had a medical scare which had me in the hospital for just under 2 days. I couldn't play pfq at all, it was loud and the tests were agonizing and in the end there was nothing super important wrong with me so it just earned me a bunch of medical debt that I have to take care of tomorrow. Ugh. Problem for tomorrow me.

February 2 2024

Bonus: Garth (+2) I'm trying very hard to not think about how much money I am gonna have to pay lol. I am instaed focusing on PFQ. I am glad to have a strong distraction for myself. I have sold most of my tanzaku hoard! I've gotten a lot of currency which is great :) I'm going to be slowly trying to convert my currency to credits because I really want to plan for eventually hunting Ditto in the future. I am gonna just go for 1 melan insead of getting a second back-up melan like I usually try to do because ditto is just SUCH a pain to hunt. I average 1k eggs to get a melan so I'm going to either try and gather the money I'll need for that many eggs (which is...god...775,000,000 credits???) or I'll collect enough for 250 eggs at a time because that's a quarter of the 1k and I can order that many eggs from the supplier (and that is instead a little under 200mill...still horrifying.) It will definitely take me a while to gather that much currency. I don't want to just spend IRL money to get all of it really fast...In the meantime I'll be focusing on trying to get my wishalloy badges so I can start doing hunts for my Kanto melan dex. I hope I can get some actual melan orders too because people haven't ordered those from me yet, but that's understandable :) When I'm no longer doing completely random hunts, I think it'll be easier to get orders since I can advertise it better.

February 3 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2.5), Shazi (x2.7), and Elta (15%, SupSat) Niet and Shazi make for a very good day :D And max Elta is awesome too. I bought a bunch of DCP so I can be prepared for the start of my kanto hunts when I get all wishalloy. I did quick money calculations and the only non-legendary/non-special eggs that are cheaper to get with DCP than through the supplier are starter eggs. Since I'll be hunting the three kanto starters to start off with, I'll need a lot of DCP to keep hatching on Niet days and such xD I might go a bit out of order in my Kanto hunts if I can't get enough DCP to feel comfortable. I'll try to order a few packs of DCP every time Elta is above 13% so I can slowly accumulate that. My main focus for now is probably going to be saving credits for the ditto hunt though...I'll passively collect GS Balls too, but I'll be treating ditto like a legendary hunt where my main focus will be towards trying to gather credits and transfer extra ZC into credits when I can. I hatched the first melan of my snorunt hunt :D She was almost exactly at 1k hatches which is great. It sticks to my usual luck lol! Oh wow I got another one so soon!! This is similar to what happened with cubchoo actually :D With Cubchoo the third one didn't come til around 3k so it was a longer wait. I'm not sure I'll make it to 3k before the TR unless we get another great Niet/Shazi combo day because I have blazed through close to 500 eggs so far and it's not even bedtime!

February 4 2024

Bonus: Suri (46%), Ravyne (x2.4), and Sei (⊕16) My focus has been really bad lately...I just want to play video games and stuff but I have art I need to do. Especially if I want to get some supplemental income through commissions...Hopefully I'll get over this burnout funk with my week off from work and be energized enough to get back into things.

February 5 2024

Bonus: N/A

February 6 2024

Bonus: Niet (x3, Niet's BDay), Ravyne (x3, Niet's BDay), Shazi (x2.5, Niet's BDay), and Sei (⊕25, Niet's BDay) I was super busy yesterday and then had the most WICKED headache when I woke up and basically couldn't do anything until around reset when it finally faded. It's still kind of there as I write this but it's more tolerable now. Anyway, I love all the bonuses! Yay for Niet's birthday, giving us all these cool bonuses on a random Monday :D With Ravyne, Shazi, AND Niet, I'll be able to make a lot of progress on my Ice badge. Woo! Got another one :D I thought I would have to wait until 3k to get my third. I also need just a little more than 300 ice gems to get to wishalloy! I can probably get there today with Ravyne, but I'm not too pressed about it. I used another z crystal so I'm going to continue with Snorunt even after getting Wishalloy until I either get the 3 more melans I want, or the crystal finishes, and then I'll be switching to starting Eevee for the Type Race :)

February 7 2024

Bonus: Garth (+5), Novie (12%), and Elta (12%) Finally got rus today! I've been trying to hunt it for days now and Sally was hiding from me lol. I'll be getting Ice Wishalloy today :) That's exciting! I have to decide if I want to keep hunting Snorunt after today or just immediately switch to Eevee...I'll be wasting some of my z-crystal but I'm kind of sick of these ice boys lol.

February 8 2024

Bonus: N/A Sally decided to give me one more melan before I paused this hunt for the Type Race :D

February 9 2024

Bonus: N/A Boring ol' day...Nothing to report lol! I guess the fun thing is that I started my Eevee hunt for the Type Race that begins on Sunday :)

February 10 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2), Novie (25%, SupSat), and Shazi (x2.5) Type Race starts tomorrow!! I got a bunch of pokemon hatched today thanks to Niet and Shazi :D Kinda bummed that this wasn't the start of the tourney, but I know that some types like Dragon would just skyrocket if this was the start lol! I hope I'm doing a good job as team leader though. I want everyone to have a great time <3

February 11 2024

Bonus: Suri (69%) and Ravyne (x2.2)

February 12 2024

Bonus: Garth (+2) and Sei (⊕14) Phew was busy busy buuuusy! I had D&D yesterday so I missed reset and work was super busy so I didn't do anything on here until an hour before reset lol! That's okay though. I do feel bad about falling behind in the team thread.

February 13 2024

Bonus: N/A

February 14 2024

Bonus: N/A Dang, no bonuses on valentine's...that's okay though! I hope I can hatch a melan soon. I'm at just about 1k and got used to some earlier melans thanks to Cubchoo and Snorunt lol!

February 15 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2.5), Novie (17%), Shazi (x2.2), and Elta (10%) Dang, no Valentine's melan for me :( That kinda sucks. I wonder if I'm gonna go this entire TR without any melans despite the albino boost...that really sucks lmao. On a brighter note, my commissions are going well :) It's nice getting orders again. It funds my habit on here without needing to break my own bank. Lol I got this guy like an hour after reset. So close to a Valentine melan xD

February 16 2024

Bonus: Ravyne (x2.6) Yay Ravyne day! I don't really need normal gems at the moment but I'll try to go for a master badge at one point :) Meanwhile there's only two more days (including today) left for the Type Race! I don't think Team Normal will place, but it's been really fun being team leader this month (if not...stressful lol)

February 17 2024

Bonus: Garth (+6) and Sei (⊕25, SupSat) Only fun thing to report is that I hatched one last melan before the end of the Type Race! The tourament starts in a couple days and it is to hatch brown pokemon. I would be a little tempted to continue eevee but this is a new exclusive egg so there will be a lot of competition for the top 100 spot...so I'm going to hunt zigzagoon instead. Wishalloy Normal will help me hatch a 3k egg really fast! And they won't be too expensive to buy from the supplier...I will probably use DCP too even though it's a wast eof money in comparison just beccause I really want to make sure I get this egg...it'll be less expensive than having to buy tokens to afford the new egg.

February 18 2024

Bonus: Suri (79%) FINALLY got rus again...I've been hunting it for a week straight and Sally did not want to give it to me...until today! Huzzah! I need to finish off my Eevee supplier eggs so I can be ready to start Zigzagoon tomorrow! I have 7 hours until the tourney starts after reset, which I will use to finish off those supplier eggs.

February 19 2024

Bonus: Sei (⊕15) It is taking longer to finish these supplier eggs than I thought...I gotta finish them by midnight so I can easily switch to Zigzagoon for the tourney! xD I can still hatch Eevee but I really want an advantage with lower EHP eggs the whole time. WHOA!! A melan before I even got a shiny?? That's never happened before :0 as far as I can remember, anyway. Maybe it happened with Mudkip which also hatched really early.

February 20 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2), Novie (16%), and Shazi (x2) Wooo, Niet and Shazi day! Very good for the tourney and great to start my Zigzagoon hunt :) WAHHHH I was not expecting another so quickly?? Zigzagoon is my favorite and I thin he can tell <3 I got rus the next day and got through all of my supplier eggs at once! 3k eggs with a Niet boost is unparalleled. In other news...I really wanna talk about the PFQ update that is dropping tomorrow because I am SO freaking excited. All of the rank rewards are being changed which means that people like me who have the completed dex are going to get all of the rewards at once. I am excited for nearly everything but I'm going to talk about the ones I'm especially excited for right now before reset so I can see how they all feel when they're dropped. In general I'm not like excited about the lab update, but I do think it will be a cool update. Especially for new users! They can use the lab way easier now to find new eggs. A new scour slot!! That will kind of mess up how I have my scour field organized since now 4 can scour at a time, but that means more boxes can be uncovered which will be awesome! Same goes for the scour boost which gives a +25% boost like a Suri day. Boxes galore! I hope that it doesn't affect the market, but we'll have to see. THE AMULETS!!! The gold amulet will give a +25% boost to shiny chances, the silver amulet will give +33% boost to albino chances, and the cobalt amulet will activate the long chain bonus when you have Arceus rank (which will be removed otherwise in this update.) According to Niet, that will increase melan chances at max from 150% at 10k as it is now, to +191.6% at 5k instead! THAT'S SO AWESOME!! That will make my melan hunts way easier, I think, with a nearly +50% to the max boost at half the eggs. I am a little worried how that will upset the melan market with way more melans being hatched...but I think a new upset in the market is fine :) I'll just have to adjust prices in the future. And finally my favorite...A RIBBON THAT DOUBLES THE NUMBER OF SUPPLIER EGGS YOU CAN GET :D I can already get 250 and thought that was a fine number because I did not want to spend gold on any more, and suddenly I'll be able to get 500?? THAT'S AWESOME! That will make it so much easier to never run out of eggs to hatch, even on Niet days like this xD My credits wallet will be hurtng buying all of them but I'll live. It is gonna be so awesome! That will make my Ditto hunt way easier now, too. I can order the eggs and get 250 at a time while still having slots to order other eggs, so I can save a ditto hunt for when there's a really good Sei day! Oooh this is so exciting. I know the excitement will wear off quickly but I'm happy being extra excited right now!!

February 21 2024

Bonus: Ravyne (x2.5) and Elta (11%) We got the upgrade bonuses which is nice, but it turns out the supplier expansion does not double all your passes. It only gives you an extra 3 :( They really could have phrased it differently from "doubles"...Sigh. Now I have to decide if I want to collect to 500 passes because the idea of having the extra slots for eggs was very nice to me. Hmm.

February 22 2024

Bonus: N/A

February 23 2024

Bonus: N/A I don't remember why I didn't make a journal entry yesterday...but anyway! Today was the Deinglitch event, which was pretty easy to complete. We also got a new pokemon drop with the macha tea pokemon and 3 of the legendaries...Man I need to play S/V, because I don't know any of these pokemon lol. In other news, I hatched my last melan for this Zigzagoon hunt! Then later on I got rus while finishing my leftover supplier eggs and got ANOTHER ONE! Woo! Debating if I'm going to sell her or hang onto her for a melan ziggy hoard. I'm now onto hatching Galarian Meowth :) I want to get my steel badge up...Hatching is going to be really slow since my steel badge is SO low. Hopefully Sally is nice and gives me lots of rus until my badge is higher.

February 24 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2, MCW), Suri (63%), Novie (20%, MCW), Shazi (x3, SupSat), Sei (⊕15) HAPPY MASS CLICK WEEKEND! Look at all those bonuses :D Today is a good day to get a good start on my Galarian Meowth hunt. And a good day INDEED! Look at the melan I got already WOO

February 25 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2, MCW), Garth (+4), Suri (66%, MCW) Ravyne (x2.3), Sei (⊕18)

February 26 2024

Bonus: Novie (16%), Shazi (x2.5), and Elta (8%) Aaaa I keep forgetting to write these journals lol! The lab tourney is in full swing :) Sucks that it starts on such a nice Shazi day, but ah well. I can get back to hunting meowths afterwards. I've fallen behind the leaderboard a bit becuase i was too busy to click most of the day. I'll have to try and catch rus a couple of times to get back onto the board!

February 27 2024

Bonus: Niet (x2.5)

February 28 2024

Bonus: N/A I've been so focused on organizing my fields for my living dex that I have barely done anythign else...it takes so much focus to fill this thing out!!

February 29 2024

Bonus: Garth (+5) and Ravyne (x2.8) Last day of the month! The tournament is still going and I've basically given up, choosing instead to just try and catch up on all of my living dex organizing. I have 1 field left to organize and then a field to evolve for dex entries. I'm getting there!! As I type this, my regular living dex is 1/3 complete :) I will be taking to the forums to ask people to sell me their regular pokemon after this.
