I've had this catridge of Ruby since I was 8, anon. I don't know what about my post upset you but I think you need to find better things to br triggered by.
Hey, At least it wasn't a shiny Female Ralts...which Wally finds first
>cries in a corner
On one of my playthroughs of LeafGreen, the Weedle that the old man in Viridian City shows you how to catch was shiny. I never knew a game could be so cruel.

>shiny togepi on soul silver
op, heres an advice
1. don't use repels. repel don't mean pokemons disapear, you still encounter them but they won't battle you if your leading pokemon is strong. you could have encountered a shiny while using repel without knowing it.
2. grind. ev training and such ensure you will encounter more pokemons and increase your chance of shinies.

Ruby and Saphire were 14 years ago, anon.
I remember having a shiny safcon in Pokemon gold. Firsr i thought it was a weird glitch or my cartridge was just Dirty but when it evolved i just kept it how it was.

That's hilarious.
my condolences.

No one ever believes shinies anyway.
Older generation shiny? Cloned shit, fuck off.
Gen 6 shiny with somewhat good ivs? Totally injected, fuck off.
And then they're the shiny elitist for whom gen 6 shinies aren't worth anything, because muh rarity, or the other side of the coin, the autists who laugh at you for having non perfect shinies.
You can never win.
I actually prayed to god once to please let me have a shiny when I started my emerald play through. I shit you not, my very first Pokémon I see is a fucking shiny wurmple. #Nopokeballs. The irony.
The next day I make it to the safari zone. Luck smiles upon me yet again! My first encounter is a shiny natu!!! Haha fuck you god! I have poke balls this time! It flees after breaking out. God has a cruel sense of humor T_T

>not popping your shiny cherry in original hoenn
You missed out on the best feeling.
>>26841873
This happened to me in my very first playthrough of the original Ruby. It was a zigzagoon. Fuck
dw i feel ya. i've found so many shiny poocheynas and ziggzagoons while soft resetting for shiny starters, yet i've never gotten a single shiny starter.
here's one from the emerald encounter i took a photo of about 7 years ago.

What the fuck am I looking at?
