hey, I'm descending (typically spelled 'descendng'). call me Ezra if you'd like. I'm 21 at the time of posting this, and I'm nonbinary (I prefer they/them but honestly anything is fine). I've been shiny hunting since around 2017, where I started out doing methods, but only really became interested in doing full odds around 2019, with my first successful hunts being in 2020. I'm not exactly super active or consistent when it comes to hunting, though as of late I've been getting back into the swing of things. I was introduced to full odds hunting by people like Sonikks, AbsolBlogs, YourFriedBread, and TheSupremeRK9s, among others. their hunts and their stories really drew me in and made me want to start going for targets of my own, which in turn made me become more involved with the community, becoming a regular to a good few streams and chats on Twitch and the like. hanging out in those streams and hunting alongside others introduced me to a lot of great people who I'm lucky to consider my friends. and though my activity has kinda waned over time, I'm trying to be more present in the community again. so if you see me around in any chats, feel free to say hello! I typically hunt most in Gens 4 and 5, as they're my favorite gens in the series, though I do hope to branch into more Gen 3 hunting once I'm able. I also enjoy doing the occasional Nuzlocke or other sorts of challenge runs, like monotype runs or themed teams. I haven't done very many, but I definitely plan on doing more of them, and perhaps detailing them on here if I remember to! outside of Pokémon stuff, I'm very passionate about music. I'm planning on learning an instrument at some point, and if you ask me about my favorite bands, odds are I won't shut up about them :) some of my favorite games are Risk of Rain 2, Titanfall 2, and the Far Cry series. if you think I'd like a certain game, I'm always down for recommendations! some other notable interests I have are astronomy, art, speedrunning, and photography, to name a few. I love animals, and I have a goofy gremlin of a cat named Archie. here's the boy:  that's really about it honestly, I'm not all that interesting LMAO super happy to be here! I'm excited to see this place grow over time, and thanks to Atlas for being a homie and inviting me along for the ride <3

it looks like most of us are trying to get back into shiny hunting (insert handshake emoji here)! glad to see i'm not alone in that.
i looked at your silly shiny spreadsheet and your heartgold dream team is full of good shinies! especially the kingdra and the scizor :-) if you make an overall thread on that, i'd love to keep up with it! ^^

this you?okay but apart from my bad jokes lmao. one of the things i wanted to ask, since i'm not in the shiny hunting community at all and just kinda decide on method or full odds depending on what's available... i know you said people's stories drew you in, but what do you like more about full odds hunting to specifically choose it over methods? genuine question, i'm curious haha. i never really watch streams or videos so i pretty much only know my own experience!
oh man, that's a pretty spreadsheet too, tyler's right! i love all the formatting and colors :)) i spent ages on a spreadsheet once and now i am so spreadsheet-pilled i love them |

I think it just feels the most rewarding to me personally :) and yeah I've really come to like using spreadsheets, I've always been a bit disorganized so it helps me out quite a bit |
