Chat, I think this game is trying to tell me something. This is a different Beedrill from before, and it's like my 4th shiny overall

HOW TF DO I KEEP GETTING BUG/POISON TYPES? THIS ONE IS ALSO LITERALLY AN ALPHA SHINY

"My friend with benefits Malamar"

Yo, after exploring all of Lumiose city that I could, before progressing the main questline in any conceivable way, I finally found a shiny. Also might as well show my character a bit too, I guess, since I haven't done so.

I'm still recovering from the fact that the first thing I saw when tuning in to the direct was his fucking face. Just when I thought we might have finally been free from his presence.

Might as well do my part to increase the average I guess.

Would it be too messed up to say that I literally started playing this yesterday, and this happened? (I'm so sorry)

Nice (I feel like jokes such as this probably died a while ago, but it's fine)
