Wanna see a magic trick? Well, Thierry Henry was no stranger, pulling rabbits from the hat & bailing out a sub-par & flakey Arsenal with wondergoal after wondergoal & now he's done it again for ROAM. Thierry was my inspiration for starting this Vulpix hunt & the reason I was able to see it through. One of the trailblazing innovators of roamer hunting, with a scintillating MPH to-boot. From Highbury, to the Emirates, to the Sky Sports Studio, to Mahogany Town... Through the rain, the sleet, the snow & the scorching sun... From youth prospect, to top goalscorer, to pundit of the year, to ROAM legend, Thierry's head never once dropped - he stayed on his bike. The Pele of shiny-roamer-hunting has set himself apart & sits a-top a coveted throne. This is his story. Becoming: Thierry Henry.
... Ok, but seriously (I had too much fun with that)...
Tips & tricks of Roam article #1: talk about failing to repel & you can instantly summon a shiny Pokemon that isn't what you were looking for... #Short of the shiny Vulpix encountered during the Entei Pokemon Soulsilver hunt (15 of 19 on our mission to complete all roamers, single-hunted & live)...
Whilst it may not be our goal, this was absolutely hilarious & I'm glad we got to see it. I hadn't considered that this might ACTUALLY happen, so after a small period of consideration, I decided to just throw balls & if it stayed, we'd make a new file to restart the hunt, if it fled, we'd just continue the hunt. It became even more hilarious that after throwing 1 ball & not receiving a single shake, it roared us away.
#ThierryHenry is my spirit animal with that mouth twitch. As I keep saying to people: they are independent events anyway, so really a "phase" Pokemon is just a bonus sighting. The roamers have already been hit & determined at this point (unless you're hunting Gen 2, of course).
