#alternate theory is that she did manage to get a shiny ralts but it was male

my lily orchard crackpot theory is that she did try to shiny hunt a ralts at some point, but gave up less then 20 attempts in and got so pissed about not instantly getting it, that she wrote off anything to do with shiny pokemon out of jealousy and frustration

If this is true for Lily orchard…

1.

2. It really illustrates the sheer entitlement Lily holds for many things!

Stories

Animation

Relationships

Etc

For Lily, she thinks everything has to meet her right at her own bedroom door not even the front door in the “meeting halfway” phrase.

She basically wants to hit a button and immediately get validation and vindication over whatever she does be it good or bad.

To say she has a god complex would be giving her credit in the worlds she writes.

Lily just has the entitlement of a spoiled brat who was never told no once by her parents- actually you know what! There’s a character in media who is the antithesis of who she is as a person!

Oh! Forgot this was about Pokémon for a moment oopsydoodle!

3. As someone with a totally normal and healthy love and favoritism towards eevee since I was 3 or 4…

I never found a shiny eevee in the years I’ve played these games. I never gave up and I eventually caught one what has to be almost… 1 or 2 years ago!

The first shiny that I ever caught wasn’t even my target and it being heart gold it wasn’t the gyarados! It was a gligar… I didn’t kill it cause it wasn’t my target I fuckin caught it because it was cool! I tried hunting it in scarlet a decade after that day and I fucking balled my eyes out for thirty minutes-

What was my point… I got distracted sperging about Pokémon memories… ugh right Lily- uhhhh yeah Lily is an entitled brat who most definitely got this upset over not getting something immediately because she thought she didn’t need to work for it.

Because Lily doesn’t know what a real reward feels like.

Rewards are only rewarding after you’ve worked hard to get it!
