Shiny (Fuckup) Stories

>>27661053
My first shiny was a shiny beedrill on a SS locke

>>27661053
Man fuck shiny pokemon...

Besides the GTS the only shiny I've encountered was a bidoof in the start of pearl. Too early, no pokeballs.

>>27661123
For fuck's sake, please tell me you caught and kept it

>>27661053
My first shiny was an aron play sapphire as a kid, too bad i 0HKO'd it because i didnt know it was rare, i only thought it had red eyes cause it was female

>>27661227
I caught it, but it was on a fucking emulator and it died on a battle

>>27661123
Lokes be damned if I see a shiny I'm catching it.

My first was a Zubat in Diamond which I killed ;_;

I've gotten a lot of em in X, the first being an Inkay which I love to death <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

Thankfully I haven't had any shiny pokemon mishaps yet. Remember kids never try to weaken a shiny pokemon unless you have a false swiper.

>>27661202
I have X, it's really just not that great for me and I haven't completed it yet

Shiny pokemon were not hard to get in fair trades or random trading online.

>>27661350
(OP here) I haven't played any of the games past White and I don't own a 3DS, never mind any of my friends.
What, are shinies easier to get on X/Y or something?
>>27661289
>>27661353
This is why I don't like playing emulators lol

>>27661424
>playing a nuzlocke on a cartridge

It all turned out okay though, a few months later i found another shiny poochyena in the same patch of grass

I'm the shiny beedrill fag.

I found a shiny unown in leaf green. I also hatched a shiny sableye in ORAS while breeding, not even using the masuda method.

>no pokeballs.jpg

I almost cried.

>just hatched 1510 charmanders, still no shiny

At this point I'm too far in to stop. Please help me.

BITCH I'LL CATCH YOU ONE DAY

Found my first ever shiny a few days ago.

Was in the Pokemon Mansion training to face Blaine.

Out comes shiny Grimer. I was so excited. Look in my inventory. 1 single regular pokeball left.

And I used it to catch the grimer.

I have never been happier.

>>27661053
Been horde hunting for a while, 4 am, sleepy as fuck, a shiny wingul appears in an horde, fucking kill it cuz I can barely think. Got another one a little later I actually caught it.

>>27661976
I got it after 705 eggs.

>>27661881
Probably in the next batch

>>27661881
Just keep going.

I want to find whoever thought it was a good idea to put Zangoose and Seviper in the same horde and strangle them. It was my first shiny out of 15 years of playing Pokemon, too.

>>27661053
Never fucked up with a shiny, but I have a story:
>me and my friends hanging out playing pokemon on the D/P/P era
>talking about shinies and shit
>there's this guy, Edgar, who is ALWAYS atention whoring with his amazing stories that I always thought were fake
>he tells us a story about how he accidentally escaped from a shiny Sneasel on Silver
>I tell him to shut the fuck up because it's impossible to run away from shinies in 2nd generation
>he says that's bullshit
>someone looked it up and proved that is true
No one of the others took seriously Edgar's stories ever again. I still feel good about this.

I found a shiny woobat in reversal mountain while Bianca was with me and she fucking killed it.

>I was 8 at the time, just picked up fire red
>played through the whole game, beat the elite 4, caught mewtwo
>decide I want to return to pallet town, for the feeling of nostalgia from the beginning of my journey
>one more patch of grass before I'm in the clear
>a shiny rattata appears
>didn't know it at the time, but that sparkle when it appeared meant it was shiny
>I already have a rattata, so why would I need this one?
>run
5 years later, I find out about shinies from a friend. I would still be willing to relive those 5 years of my life if I could go back and get that shiny fucking rattata...

That means when he was 13 in 2009, he learned about shinies. Now, Anon is probably 20. Are you upset that there are adults younger than yourself here?

You can transfer emulated pokemon to game carts. But then you have to get some device for it andoes I think you also need to get a pokemon hacker software, which at that point you should just create your perfect mons.

>>27661976
I got one breeding for ivs on X version [3 perfect IVs if you want to know]

I didn't see another shiny until a Grimer in the Castelia Sewers in B/W2. Thankfully, I caught that one. Fuck the Safari Zone. I hope it never comes back.

First one I ever saw was just a few weeks ago, a Furfrou. Caught it and now it's sitting in a box for all of eternity.

>Was playing Firered
>Saw brown Machop
>First shiny I've ever saw
>No pokeballs
That's why I always carry them now.
