Shinies/Scary thought

Thirdkoopa · March 28, 2010, 01:59:42 PM

Shinies: Have you collected any ever? Ran across any? I personally think the amount of steps for one is ridiculous. 1/8000? Gah. No.

Scary thought: What if someone collected every shiny in the entire series? I think that would be the definition of "To much time on your hands"

You are right. 1/8000 is far too common for so drastic a defect. It should be closer to 1/80000

I know someone who has. It's been a long time, but iirc her went by SwampertGirl or something like that.

Never caught one outside of the red Gyarados from G/S/C.

Oh wow. Seriously? I'd like to know how much time she spent into it. Any other info?

My mind has been blown for like the 17th time this month.

It's been a long time since we've talked, but I think she did a one-a-day thing and turboed it on the weekend after I taught her some of the mechanics.

Never even seen one. Also, that'd be kinda sad.

I caught a shiny Wooper a few days ago on SS. It was pink. And caught a shiny Machop on Diamond a while back using the pokeradar.

~~It's called PokeSav.~~ Legitimately? Yeah, that would be quite the accomplishment.

The Pokeradar trick works pretty well if you do it right and have the time to spare.

I personally wouldn't waste my time like that. I think the only shinies that are aesthetically pleasing are a shiny Pidgeot, a Shiny Gyrados, a shiny Arcanine, a shiny Sandslash, and a shiny Charizard. The rest just...look weird.

Gold Magikarp how can you not like

Zero · March 28, 2010, 10:44:25 PM

Not a fan of Gold fish?

I didn't even realize goldfish before

Shiny Mareep is pink (cotton candy).
