Not my typical posting, but I have shinies I'm looking to trade for. I'll take most things, but my dream shinies are Drampa and any member of the tyrannitar line. I know most are relatively common but I have some sneaky good ones such as Gastly/whirlipede. Here's what's available!

(circled in purple means they're shalpha)

(all litleos are female)

(if you have drampa specifically I'll open up the trade to some of my rarer non-repeats such as honedge, male Pyroar, excadrill, so on)

my headcanon is that the official pkmn media is all a propaganda to convince the public that training is good and that pkmn are stupid and need humans. like the anime and games exist in their own world, but theyre like comparable to the stuff that the military puts out. so its all stuff that actually happened, but really skewed to decenter pkmn, making them into tools. + pkmn are smart enough to read and talk and all that but they arent allowed to

also luv ur lurantis art <3

I can't believe team plasma commented on my post 😔

But seriously, I think within universe, training can be harmful, but proper "training" is forming a physical bond with your pokemon, and relying on them as not just an ally, but as a friend. As family. As a piece of each other. I think there's a lot of people, especially in the games or manga that train for strength, but the whole point of the HGSS subplot is that you have to raise them with love. Black and white goes a bit deeper by differentiating people who use pokemon and people who are partners with pokemon. Even legends Arceus features a lot of trainers who don't even own poke balls, those pokemon just choose to stay around the trainer, limiting teams to three or four at max.

For me, training is always a deeper emotional experience than it seems like it is for other. I raise my pokemon competitively, but then play with them or take on challenges like the battle tower, and ocassionally battling trainers via online services.

I do think maybe shiny hunting, depending on the gen, would be really fucked up, since In SM and SV you physically have to make wild pokemon faint repeatedly, who don't have a chance to get to the pkmn center.
