Entry #1
My favorite Pokemon sprite is Missingno.
(Thought this sprite was fancy since Missingno didn't actually move lolz)
The Missingno sprite, in my opinion, defined one of the biggest cult classics in Pokemon. It was such a big deal if you were one of the firsts to show it off. It embodied all the bizarre mysteries of the programming in the first generation and spawned countless theories thereafter. Of course my favorite theory is that Missingno was the link that got lost between kangaskhan and cubone. (Yknow that Lavendar Town thing.) it's absolutely spooky and researching the meaning behind the sprite is an entertaining way to spend a night.

Day #4, Entry #4
Alright let's sit by the virtual fire as I prepare to write a novel regarding why I want this collectible and what Pokemon means to me in the most elaborate way possible.
I want the Pokeball collectible because, to put it plainly, I think it's cute and the fact that there's not many out there on this here forum makes me want it even more. That and it's like what, over 2k BTB now? There's no way in hell I can afford that anytime soon. You always want what's out of reach, right? However, another reason is because, well, Pokemon was my life at one point. It's still part of it now to a degree, but not anything near what it used to be when I was a wee child in the ages of the early 00's. Seeing that collectible under people's username sparks the memories of that time, and it also makes me want to finally finish X already because geez, do I need to get back to that game.
But then I remember, my villagers in ACNL await me. The cycle continues.
I first played Pokemon Red when I was really young--something under ten years old. I was so excited to finally play the game everyone was talking about on my shiny new purple Gameboy Color. A very fond, and at the same time hilariously pathetic first memory of playing the game, is how I didn't know that you could leave the house. I remember booting up the game and walking around aimlessly inside the house, asking myself "is this really it?" It wasn't until around 20 minutes later did I stumble upon the carpet on accident to discover that yes, a world did exist outside the house.
My brother and I would always get the opposites of the game versions and try and be better than each other. I got Red, he got Blue. I got Gold, he got Silver. I got Sapphire, and he got Ruby. I think we shared Crystal, Emerald, and Yellow, though. I don't exactly remember how that worked out, but I do still have all of my old copies of the games--unfortunately, my Gold doesn't work anymore, and my favorite one of the franchise, Crystal, is nowhere to be found. Thank god for ROMs though, right? My brother and I were pretty competitive, and it was fun playing alongside him. He wasn't interested in Pokemon anymore after R/S, though. I liked Diamond, hated White (still unfinished), and am currently (trying to) play X. I also have Y because of that nifty free game thing you could redeem earlier this year, too. Not sure what I'm going to do on that one, though.
My brother and I would go to this store at least once a week with my dad to buy a pack of trading cards (although we just kind of collected them and didn't ever learn how to play with them--then again, who did?). After sifting through useless energy cards, we'd usually stumble across shinies and cards we could add to our Pokedex-themed binders to collect 'em all. I think my dad threw away those binders along with our abundance of plushies, though. Shame, really. I also remember the first episode of Pokemon I ever watched--when Ash battled Brock in his gym. After that, my brother and I got hooked, and we'd always wait patiently for more Pokemon to air along with all the other good ol' anime that was around back in the day.
I guess to end this tangent of my Pokepast, and to tl;dr a bit, I'd love the collectible because it's not only a coveted item, but a cute reminder of my childhood and how Pokemon was such a good chunk of it.

[entry #4] [entry way 4]
I've been a pokemon fan for the longest times. I've played nearly every generation starting with pok?mon Emerald i got at the age of six and made my way up to pokemon Y as well as pokemon fire red and some of the spin offs such as both generations of mystery dungeon, and replayed most of them countless of times.
Pokemon pretty much defines my childhood. When i'd have my cousin's over, we'd all be playing on our gameboys in different areas of the house, for hours on end (My favourite spot was my closet eheh). We weren't completely warped into the game though, we'd still take an hour brake every saturday at noon to watch our favourite show: pok?mon.
I still play up to this date and do reruns with my cousins, but i still cherish and miss those childhood hangouts. I feel like all the competitiveness and to an extent the "mega pokemon" kind of ruined it for me, but i'm still looking super forward to the gen 3 remake and retraining my team.
This childhood gem got passed on to my little brother who now plays the games and collects the cards, though he doesn't know how to play them.
When i first encountered the pok?ball collectible, i didn't really know what it was at first, but i knew that i absolutely must have it. I was still new to the Forum and didn't know anything about collectibles in general. I did a bit of research and found out collectibles were pretty hard to get and that the shop doesn't restock all too often. I also encountered Lassy's thread of suggested price for collectibles and when i saw the price for the pok?ball, I kind of lost hope.
Of course I tried to save up for it and i even opened my own little shop in the marketplace for a while, but I never even made it to a tenth of its selling price. Eventually i blew my btb on other things though mostly on actual pokemon.
However, I still really want the collectible as a little reminder of my favourite childhood memory and a lil bit to add to my (pathetic) growing collection of collectibles.
Thanks for reading!

I'M SORRY
Because Honesty seems to be in a short supply among a few of you whom have entered this giveaway, along with the fact of the rules being breached almost daily, I feel that I cannot give this Pokeball collectible with good faith that the entrant is in fact telling me the truth about their monetary status on TBT. Because of this, I am closing the giveaway and will not be giving away my pokeball collectible.
I am hurt. I am mad. I wanted to do something GOOD for the community at large and instead I find myself angry at being lied to. Collectibles can be hidden, bells can be stowed away in an ABD. And because of the lies I have found I cannot bring myself to even trust the community sans a handful. This is so sad, so very sad. This was supposed to be a beautiful thing, a gift from one of the rich of TBT to those of you who don't have the same amount as I do in both collectible and BTB. People complain about the Rich of TBT like myself, and yet, I am sure I will be seen as selfish as I put an end to this because I was LIED to.
I'm also upset that my rules, placed to not only be fair, but where beyond obvious were blatantly ignored by many. I put rules up so not only this could be spread out over a long period of time so that as many whom are new or poor on TBT could have as much as a chance as the next person, but for it to be fun, to share the love of Pokemon and to maybe, MAYBE help the community grow in a way. I fail to see why people thought they could stack their posts. Why people thought they could post multiple times. I was even lenient. I said editing was okay, to an extent. But the use of editing to CHEAT. Over WHAT? PIXLES?
If Pixels are that damn important to you, that you would lie, that you would cheat, that you would break rules over, then why can't you read a set of rules? I don't understand. I don't care. I am probably the most giving person on here. I will give someone BTB randomly if I see they need a little more for a collectible, newbie or mod. I have hosted giveaway, I've given away ten chocolate cakes I bought for the giveaway. Of my own hard earned money. I have been fair, selling rare collectibles under Lassy's guide's lowest price for those who REALLY want it. I do not take kindly to being USED.
To those of you whom were honest, those of you who were truthful and read the rules. I'm sorry, I truely am. I know how badly you wanted this collectible, and what it means to you. You were the ones I opened this giveaway for. You were the ones I wanted to have the prize. If you wish to blame anyone for this, please blame the ones who lied, who cheated, and who broke the rules in an effort to be selfish. Beyond selfish.
I enjoyed reading you entries, I really did.
Those of you who couldn't bother reading or being honest, shame on you and I hope you can deal with the disappointment.
With this, I am closing this thread. I'm sorry no one won. I will not be picking a winner because I don't want it to go to a liar. I'm sorry, I don't know who to trust and who not too anymore.
Please do not contact me in regards to this. My decision is final.
Best regards,
