hello!! :-)

hi there! i'm tyler, i'm 22, and i mainly full odds shiny hunt. i started hunting around 2015-2016, with my inspiration being this soulsilver shiny badge quest  on the lake valor internet forum (on wayback machine for image preservation). i used to be a lot more active, but i've been devoting more time to my relationship and my work as of last spring. i'm trying to get more active in shiny hunting again, rather than just viewing other people's content when i have time.

i now have a gba that i bring everywhere with me, so hopefully this means that i can do at least a decent amount of gen 3 hunting when i have spare moments! my main long-term goal as of right now is to complete a ribbon master that i've shiny hunted, which most likely means hunting ledian on colosseum. i'd also like to try a few different "weirder" hunts like a curry hunt. in 2023, i made a goal to try a bunch of types of hunts i hadn't done before, only some of which i accomplished - so i'll be remaking my bingo soon and including some of them.

atlas and i met through absolblogspokemon / absoltastic streams, although i'm no longer super active on twitch except for the occasional tales of taylor / poketot stream. some of you may be passingly familiar with me from either of those chats. sometimes i do stream-specific art or make silly edits and channel point redeem them.

i'd like to film the hunt that i'm currently setting up, as there are no ruby-specific videos for horsea on youtube right now, but i don't have a tripod so i'm not very sure where to start. i know some forum members are active on youtube, and i would welcome any insight if folks are inclined to comment!

outside of shiny hunting, i enjoy taking long drives at night, stargazing, pokémon GO, playing dressup games, other video games (rune factory 4, ffxiv, and acnh are some), and my boyfriend's cat. :-)

thank you for the invite, atlas! happy to be here and looking forward to seeing the forum grow. really happy with the idea of a cozy space for shiny hunters!
