Hello! :) My name is Valerie and I am a full odds hunter since 2018 and am obsessed with quests, challenges, and themes. You'll see a lot in my threads but I love gardening, hiking, and taking my hunts on the go. For me a hunt is all about how far I've come since starting it. My more nerd based hobbies include Magic: The Gathering, Monster Hunter, One Piece, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, and Zelda! Please feel free to message me and chat about any of these things! My first ever hunt was a shiny bulbasaur that I hatched via Masuda Methods back in like 2015 ORAS times. Since then I have hunted countless method shinies before eventually switching to full odds. Ever since 2017 I have spent countless hours hunting in any generation I can. I hunt in gens 2-8, but you may catch me moving beyond that.
See you around!

i love that philosophy, of taking your hunts along the ride of your life so you can look back at them and see a personal journey — it feels very poetic :) and ALSO. god i swear taking your console with you to go to places is one of the best things ever. i happen to have a pretty regular gamer friend group that's kept my streetpass calmly alive, but i really started actually bringing my 3ds with me back when i decided to do that "nuzlocke one game for every region" challenge from the nuzforums. it's technically still going, and more importantly there's a deadline, which has encouraged me even more to take my little gaming wonder with me to make all that public transport time into progress — and man, i've been feeling so good about it!! it's my little friend gaming console with my little games that i like and that i'm taking with me... it's like when i was younger and i just had my DSi/3DS, before the switch even existed, except this time i'm old enough to actually take it everywhere... i can take it out any time and see all my little guys and play pokémon whenever i want (kind of, lol)... 🥺 GOD it's so GOOD i love portable consoles forever!!!! and y'know what, since you mentioned it like the other two. i'm wondering, what makes you like full odds hunting more than using methods? i don't have any experience in the hunting community and since this is a lot of people at once explicitly saying they choose one way of hunting over the others i am very curious. it makes sense to me why you'd like different methods over others, since they all offer a different game experience, but i'm sure there must be non-snob reasons for people to only hunt the harder way on purpose and i'd love to hear them!! :o

Personally I just feel more fulfilled when I get it. I like to look back at my hunts and see how far I've grown on the way to getting it, so short hunts feel underwhelming! I used to method hunt, but it just lost excitement for me so I switched to full odds. It truly is nothing more than I looooove grinding!
