Sorry to sound silly but what is a shiny badge quest
That's not silly at all, don't worry! (❁´◡`❁)
A Shiny Badge Quest is a Pokémon challenge in which you must catch one shiny before each badge. Here are the rules:

- shiny hunt for your starter. (impossible in sword and shield, but I'll breed my scorbunny later on top of catching/breeding a shiny.)
- catch or breed a shiny before each badge.
- you can't trade for shinies or hack them in.

Then there are optional rules like:
- you can only use shinies in battle. (but you can use regular pokémon to shiny hunt/for hms.)
- you must catch one or more shinies before taking on the elite four and champion.

You can come up with your own rules as well, as long as you have fun, anything goes. There's another challenge similar to this one called the Dream Team Quest where the only requirement is to shiny hunt six of your dream shinies to battle the league and become champion with. c:
Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. c:
 
Sort of continuing a second playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet since I'm currently without online on my main Nintendo account and really need a Walking Wake and Iron Leaves for when Home compat (eventually) comes through.

...I completely forgot about the awful framerate. It really pops out when you've been playing Legends Arceus just before.
 
Well, I just finished Ghostwire Tokyo, and I finally got around to finishing Breath of the Wild as well. So...now that those are in the rearview, I'm kinda just floating around until I get Tears of the Kingdom, which should happen on Tuesday.
 
Pokewilds and I'm enjoying it so much. I find it kind of addicting. Found two shinies so far on my save file.
 
it's not at the current moment but my partner and i are playing through the RE:4 make. we got it closer to launch but life got in the way. should finish it! we're also going to start DMC 3 very soon and he's also started Deus Ex... he plays more than i. i just watch, but we're "playing" together. chronic illness makes it hard to move blah.
 
Now that I've finished the first 3 Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters, I'll be focusing on IV.
 
More sidequest/collectible stuff in Ghostwire Tokyo...and I got Tears of the Kingdom, so I've been playing that also. But, I mostly play TotK at night, since that's just how I use my Switch. Mostly use my Switch when I feel like having an excuse to lay in bed. Lol. Will also probably return to Pokemon Violet in some degree, since I see there are some event raids and things happening now (and finally adding Home support in a few days).

Tears of the Kingdom - my favorite game this year so far (and most certainly one of my fav. games of all time ..... - it could theoretically still lose to Baldurs Gate 3 for me). And Animal Crossing too. My new island is coming alone just dandy and it's really relaxing.
 
I kinda fell down the Stardew Valley rabbit hole again, oops.
 
mostly animal crossing new leaf but i am also playing hatsune miku: project mirai dx :)
i am going to a video game store where they sell 3ds games for my birthday so hopefully i'll find something
 
A lot of Tomodachi Life. Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as well, but I haven't been able to play as much as my dad and brother.

Which is a good thing because you can only play the game once for the very first time so do take your time with it.
I've been playing a lot since launch and I have just finished the first dungeon. I'm gonna embrace every detail/quest/adventure I can find because at some point, lower-level-area content becomes too easy/loses its interest and I really don't wanny rush (did that mistake with Botw halfway through - and while the ending was satisfying in my opinion, I wish I hadn't rushed through afterwards).
 
I’ve been playing GTA online non stop I got a years membership cause I haven’t played in such a long time and I’m having so much fun 😊
 
Pokémon Violet. I kinda want to rush through the game so I can catch and trade version exclusives with myself, get the shiny charm and hunt in both versions. I'm playing Legends Arceus on the side, trying to fill a box of duplicate shinies for a future giveaway. (❁´◡`❁)
 
I started 'Cassette Beasts' on Game Pass yesterday. It's actually a pretty fun game. Seen people describing it as "Pokemon if Gamefreak still loved what they did"...which is obviously hilarious. But, yeah...it's a really fun and unique take on the monster training genre. - It's also available on Switch, and I would love to play that version of it...but, my lack of job/money will keep me playing the Xbox version for now.
 
I'm playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails From Zero. Going back to 2D after playing all four Trails of Cold Steel games is jarring, but the game is still solid. The translation is great, the music is good, and battles are as engaging as always. The setting reminds me a lot of Singapore and NYC.
 
Taking a break from FF IV as I'm stuck on Rubicante and grinding to master all my job classes for all my characters on FF V. I'm also playing Etrian Odyssey as I bought the origins collection yesterday and am quite enjoying it.
 
Just beat Pokemon Violet, so I'll probably be playing either Fire Emblem: Engage or Fire Emblem: Awakening now... or both!

And still playing Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail daily.
