Welcome to the HYPE THREAD, a place to share your excitement about in-game achievements, brag about success, and get hyped for upcoming events. CAPS LOCK IS OPTIONAL IF IT HELPS YOU GET YOUR HYPE ON!
This is a chance to post about your successes. Our rules against self-promotion and most low-quality content, including shiny Pokemon pics, are relaxed in these threads–please talk all you like about your luck and accomplishments!
This thread is meant to be pretty positive, so please think twice before downvoting someone! Rude and negative comments will be removed — please report them if you see them 😀
