hi there, i'm fai !! ˘͈ᵕ˘͈

this blog is for me to post about Pokémon !! i've loved it since i was a kid and i'm excited to share it with the internet now xD

you can find my current shiny hunt (if i'm doing one) in my bio !! more info about me under the cut ↴

more about lil 'ol me ?

i'm honored you wanna know !! well i'm an adult, and i often find myself with a lot of free time do to being bedridden from my chronic illness (HS if anyone was curious) so i thought, why not make myself a little blog ⭐️

i have autism and adhd (thanks mom XD) so basically i care a LOT about what i like !! and one of the main ones is Pokémon (another is turtles, i just love em so much 🐢)

i'm also queer and i identify as nonbinary and aroace !! i've known that about myself for quite some time and would love to interact with more queer folk :D

on a gaming note, my favorite pokemon game is the one that got me back into it, Pokémon Sword & Shield !! don't shoot me i know it has some flaws XD but i adore the starters and the silly story and the characters customization !! plus it was one of the first games i got on my switch lite so it is very special to me

i prefer to play games that i have physical copies of but emulation / digital copies work in a pinch !! the gaming devices i have (as of Nov 2025) are as follows: a modded 3ds, a switch lite, an ipad, a gaming computer and of course my phone for mobile games and the like XD 👾

well thank you for staying around for my quick introduction !! i hope you enjoy your time perusing my blog if you choose to do so, have a lovely day either way 🌷

after nearly five years, my son is reunited with me 🐢

for a bit of an explanation, i had a pet turtle named Pierce (after my favorite AC villager lol) and i loved him dearly, and just under five years ago he passed away. i started shiny hunting chewtle in my favorite game a few months after because it reminded me of him, but i was never able to get it.

since then i've been hunting it on and off, basically whenever there's an outbreak of them in SV. today, i logged on and immediately saw an outbreak. i made my sandwich, settled in to try and hunt him, and he showed up not even two minutes into the sandwich. he was the only shiny i found, and chewtle had a 50/50 gender ratio so it was a gamble on whether or not it would be pierce.

all this to say i'm kinda emotional about this and i'm rlly happy my son returns !! caught in a friend ball as was always intended. i hope you're resting well Pierce, i will love you always ❤️💚
