Pokémon is one of the most successful franchises in the entire history of video games and has dozens of titles available on a multitude of Nintendo platforms. Currently, the launch of Pokémon Legends ZA is expected, the Nintendo Switch title that will be released at some point to be determined in 2025. A new installment that will follow The Pokémon Company's policy during the last years of not including the complete National Pokédexmaking it difficult to obtain all the Pokémon, something that can only be achieved through the Pokémon HOME application. However, there are avid players who dedicate years to being able to get their hands on the most difficult objective of the saga.

This is the case of Reddit user wolfmanoh who wanted to share the achievement of his great goal: Complete the National Shiny Pokédex. A feat that is within the reach of very few and which has taken him no less than 23 years.After 65 raids, I got a Shiny Pheromosa. That was the last species I needed to complete my Shiny Pokédex.I've been playing Pokemon since I was 5 years old and I started hunting shinies since Diamond, Pearl and Platinum were released.. I'm still trying to get all the shapes [variantes como Furfrou o Vivillion]but for all intents and purposes I already have all the Shiny Pokémon. Except Manaphy, fuck it,” the user said proudly as he showed off his Pokédex in Pokémon HOME.

Finally, after playing Pokémon for 23 years!

The truth is, Even though it lacks Manaphy, it is a valid goal for players.. This is because The only method of obtaining shiny Manaphy is really complex and requires obtaining the egg in Pokémon Ranger, which translates into a really low probability of obtaining it, causing many players to abandon their search.

A new Pokémon Presents is scheduled to take place on August 8

Pokémon news could be coming very soon, as the franchise usually offers news about its future projects in August through a second Pokémon Presents. In this sense, rumors point to the next August 8th for the celebration of this very special event in which could reappear once and for all Pokémon Legends ZAas well as any other surprises that the franchise may have prepared for its players.

Is it time to finally see the long-awaited remakes of Pokémon Black and White? Luckily, there's not much time left to find out.
