Shiny Story Thread

>Using hacks
Who cares then. It doesn't matter what hacks you were using, you could have just hacked in a shiny at that point and saved us all from this dull experience.

I didn't cause a fire, but there was a lot of smoke starting (boiling water).
Felt like a fucking idiot that day, so now I'm always paranoid about cooking stuff and always double check there's a timer on it. Never thought being so engrossed in pokemon would eventually result in something like that.

I was breeding Combees so I get a female to evolve while fulfilling my Poxedex.

Combee shiny, 5 perfect IV's, Lonely. It is male.


Is there a more useless mon than a male combee?

During my first playthrough of Black 2, after I beat Kyurem, I was leaving the cave when I ran into a shiny Sneasel that I later evolved into a Weavile who's also my favorite Pokemon.

Years ago I was playing one of the gen 4, heading towards Snowpoint City and most of my team were either fainted of in the red. While I was trying to avoid any trainers I encountered a shiny Medicham. I lowered its health and tried to catch it only for it to sweep the rest of my team.

Do you know advanced wizard techniques or have you become impure and sullied yourself? How do you deal with all the nice ass waifus in Pokaymanz?

>>28599989
Not much wizarding going on here my friend. Been playing with mons since Red/Blue and it was because of my younger brother (7 years my junior). I was tasked by the rentals to screen all the games that he played, that and I did a lot of minding of cousins who were all around the same age so it helped with getting along with them.

and with the waifus, meh, I not one who crushes on animated characters so they don't affect me much

I was running around in the friend safari just screwing around, said to my friends "wouldn't it be funny if I found a shiny?" Hearty chuckle, next encounter, shiny krabby, name it Krabbels and love it forever.
