Has shiny hunting ruined shiny pokemon for anyone else?

I remember the first shiny i got back in gen 4 was a gastrodon and i was super excited, the next i got magikarp in OR i was excited again and evolved it almost immediately and also regretted it immediately so i started hunting for another shiny migikarp.

Fast forward to now and i have a box of shinies and the thrill is dead, it went from "HOLY SHIT A SHINY" to "neat, into the box with you".

Why did i do this to my self?
>>
No? It sounds silly but I enjoy going on the hunt for the shiny recolors.
>>
Nah - though finding a random shiny is a billion times better than grinding for one.

Grinding for them has it's charm though - but I have to be doing something else (roadtrip, watching a film) or I'd go into a coma
>>
There is nothing in the world more rewarding than getting a Dream Ball HA Shiny Female 5IV Combee
>>

is that a n3ds? XL? Looks somehow really good...
>>
Not really. I mean the thrill of it is nice, but that's not why I want the shinies to begin with.

I just want them cause they look cool. I simply choose between what color scheme I like better for the pokemon, that's it. It being rare means little to me.. besides, finding a random shiny is kind of ruined by the fact that its unlikely that they're competitive.
>>
shinies scream HACKS to me at this point so i just try to stick to normal pokemon myself
>>
I always thought shinies looked tacky.
>>
Shinies are pretty cool but I've never had the desire to grind for any. Got maybe half a dozen that I really should move up to my AS
>>
>>26540143
>autisticly hunting for something thats meant to be a rare random surprise has ruined the random surprise


no fucking shit, gen 6 making them a dime a dozen didn't help either, i got more shiny mons in XY without even trying than i have in the entire rest of the series

Random or not? I've got 2 shiny oddish
>>
>>26540501
This.
Only a handful of them look halfway decent.
A lot of the time they're ruined by clashing colors.
>>
>>26540781
The gyarados was random, the first magikarp was hunted but was before i knew about chaining so i kept switching spots but still got it in minutes of searching, the third i got while WT some shit and the last one is an event magikarp i traded for.

>A lot of the time they're ruined by clashing colors.

Agreed. It's easy to see which shinies GF actually put a little thought into and which ones they just didn't give a damn about.
>>
>Someone literally just WTed me a shiny pelipper
Not sure if I want to keep it or not
>>
i clicked on /vp/ accidentally

does this board comprise of 25+ year old men playing pokemon? if so, that is pretty pathetic, just barely above weeb shit and MLP in that order
>>
>>26540879

I mean when it was introduced, it was really more of a gimmick to celebrate GBC hardware. The colors were just negatives.

Shinies since then are actually intentionally colored one way or the other.

>>26541263
heres your (you)
>>
>>26540143
always hoping i find one during horde ev training. all i found was a shiny skarmory at a safari. but i accidentaly ran away with no regrets, because i hate skarmory
>>
>>26541247
look at the OT, if it looks like a youtube or twitch username like auslove.tv then its injected
>>
>>26541263
It's actually underaged teenagers.
>>
>>26541336
>sakati.TV
Back into the wondertrade it goes
>>
>>26540143
i switched to injecting before letting shiny hunting waste my time
>>
>>26541353
personally i would keep it for trade fodder, look for a shiny for shiny trade in your passerbys.
>>
>>26540437
How about a Dream Ball HA Shiny Female 6IV Combee and 5$.
>>
>>26541263
>hobbies make people degenerates.
It's called keeping it in check.
Also something like 70% are underaged here.
