Hi there LilyGardy!
Happy Thanksgiving my friend.
Did you know that Misdreavous is another Pokemon with interesting origins? Its based on the Nukekubi yokai, a flying head. The things that find their way into Pokemon are so colorful and much darker than you would think.
I think I shall have to hunt Gastly the hard way, I don't think he is available in Omega Ruby with the dexnav in my version, or am I mistaken? If he is then that would be a relief.
Oh yes, Chandelure's cry is just gorgeous. We light candles and burn incense in my home a lot, especially around the holidays. When I hear Chandelure' s long cry I hear the sound of resin cooling and solidifying in the glass candle holders as the fire dies. That tinkle is just lovely. One of my favorite Pokemon creepy pastas is about this line of Pokemon Curse of the Candle.
This is definitely a favorite Unova mon. Golurk's backstory is really interesting too, based on the Hebrew legend the Golem of Prague. Also in Cofragrius you really see the Ancient Egyptian inspiration behind his sarcophagus-like appearance.
Your love of your beautiful shiny Lilligant, and Lilligant everywhere is really nice, its like LadyJirachu and her wonderful love for Korrina.
I would have probably started nervously throwing pokeballs too in the same situation, worried about knocking out a delicate petilil. Because I only shiny hunt every now and then I seem to have had beginner's luck, though, and only remember shiny failing once. When I was looking for a shiny Dragonair in Pokemon Y on the way I fished up some shiny poliwhirl and shiny basculin. The poliwhirl were all no problem, but one of the basculin used final gambit and blew himself up. I tried to catch it just because it was there, but since it wasn't my target it wasn't a terribly devestating miss, especially I since got lucky and caught another later while I was chaining, but I guess it is always sad to loose any shiny though.
Do you still want to trade with me? If you don't its totally cool. I just wanted to know if I should keep a hold on Wooper or Mawile? I have a few other new ones too :)
I respect the secrecy of the shrine of Lilligant. Some places and some information is so sacred that it must not be revealed. When I visited a Cherokee reservation one summer all of the people I met and danced with never gave their real names, the name you called them by was understood to be only a mask, their full name had to be protected, and only close clan members knew it.
Thank you by the way for letting me know that dark Lilligant can be purified though...*eyes twinkles,impish smile* I might do something with that information.
I thought of the Blue Eyes White Dragon for Reshiram as well. I wasn't a regular Yugioh watcher, but I had seen enough episodes to know about that cool part. I would also love to see a split evolution for Dragonair that retains its graceful, serpentine appearance. I adore big, cheerful Dragonite, but Dragonair is special for different reasons, its delicacy and magic. It would also be helpful I think to have a new typing a loose the 4× weakness, which is always hard to deal with. I think the split evo should be dragon/water or dragon/fairy.
Nendoroids are pretty expensive. Mine came from eBay, new in box, but still second hand so it was half the price of what they can be. I'm always on the look out for a bargain. The Cynthia Nendoroid is a nice one though.Right now I have my sights set on Steven and his Metagross.
Have a wonderful holiday season LilyGardy. I hope you are having a relaxing time off, plenty of fun, good fun and friends and family all around.
