I still need to get that event Regigigas, don't I...?

I'd trade you a Deoxys, but I lost mine in the...Pokemon Ranch incident.

*sigh* Must I re-tell it? It was such a sad day...

Oh well. It goes a little like this.

When My Pokemon Ranch came out for Wiiware, I was ecstatic. I did some research on Serebii and figured out you could get a Phione and Mew from it if you had enough Pokemon inside your ranch. "Awesome!" I said. "I can easily get 1000 Pokemon!" But I was wrong.

One week later.

I was transferring some 200 Pokemon to my ranch, along with the 150 that were already there. After the transfer was complete, I saved. Right before the saving was complete, a power surge ran through my house, restarting all of my wired electronic devices. Those 200 Pokemon? Gone. My Diamond version that I had been playing for a year and a half, amassing over 250 hours of playtime, and had seen over 400 Pokemon for my National Dex on? Gone. Corrupted. Beyond repair. Within those 200 Pokemon were all the legendaries I had collected from Ruby, Emerald, LeafGreen, and Diamond, my event Darkrai, my event Deoxys, at least three shiny Pokemon...

I still regret buying My Pokemon Ranch. Since the incident, I've recovered, with a new copy of Diamond and a new, EV trained team. However, I still look back at my old Diamond, not broken physically, but spiritually. I keep it with me as a symbol of hope, to make sure no other Pokemon nerd goes through the same hell that I did.

My Pokemon Ranch now lives in the bowels of my Wii Menu. I haven't touched it in over eight months.
