I FUCKING DID IT LADS
I FINALLT MADE IT
Too bad it's a shitty shiny of a shitty Pokemon
>>30005924
I don't fucking care. I finally made it. I got a shiny.
>>30005916
>never getting a shiny ever
Did you even play XY/ORAS? They handed out shinies like the way your mom hands out blowjobs.
That's a normal Rattata

>event shines
Who cares?
>>30005970
I think he meant with the way the shiny encounter rate was lowered it's as if they handed them out you retard.
Even without a shiny charm all you'd have to do was encounter hordes for roughly an hour and you'd get a shiny guaranteed
>>30005990
>shiny hunting
Cheapens shinies tbqh. Only autists do that.
>>30005916
>I MADE IT xD eks dee
anon ur being such a fucking faggot nobody fucking cares FYI
>all these fags jelly of OP's shiny
Kek. Good job OP.
>>30006036
heres your (you) now gtfo
>>30006042
I'm sure OP will give you the shiny if you ask nicely if it'll calm you down.
>>30005943
I played XY twice and ORAS, and I didn't encounter a single shiny.
The only shiny I've ever encountered was a shiny Moltres in LeafGreen.
>>30005916
It's a pretty hollow feeling to get your first real shinies through Gen 6 and 7

I feel like all they've really done is made shiny Pokemon feel less special. It used to be a rare and sought-after thing. I guess injecting and hacking killed that in the water anyway but the current shiny encounter rates are way too high. Maybe they should invent something even rarer than shinies, like monochrome forms or something that are 8x rarer than a regular shiny.
>>30006119
1/8000 is pretty insane though, you have to admit. I didn't even know shinies existed until I learned about it on the internet. I thought Red Gyarados was just a one time thing.

I did. Thanks anon. If I meant event Shinies I would have included BW/B2W2.
Also the friend safari is ridiculous for easy Shinies.

My first shinies ever were Trubbish and Garbodor.
On seperate events.
>>30005916
Nice one OP.
My first was a wurmple in Ruby. Good times.

He restarted the game
Congrats dude! Train that fucker...or box it. Alolan raticate is kinda cool though
>>30006148
1 in 8192 was great, it made them feel like a real bragging point. Not to mention how legendaries didn't have shiny locks on them in previous generations, and weren't handed out so freely by Nintendo.
>>30005916
Congratz anon!! Welcome to the world of shinies.
>>30006230
this was pretty weird since I only ever found shinies before in friend's games
>tfw playing soul silver
>be at the lake of rage
>catch the red gyarados
>not even an hour later
>encounter a shiny magikarp at the same lake of RAGE
Fitting.
>>30005916
I got two random encounter shinies since I started playing S/M.
Two fucking shinies Magikarp, five days between each of them.
H-how?
While we're talking about dupe shinies, of the 3 legit ones I can remember, 2 of them were Weedle, in Gold and FireRed.
>>30005916
My very first shiny was Misdreavus in HGSS. In the Safari Zone.
Why the fuck did this have to happen?
Why is the Safari Zone even a thing?
I didn't see another one until XY.

>that blurry-as-fuck toaster-quality photo

Kill yourself, faggot.
I play since Red/Blue and I never got a shiny my entire fucking life. I'm fucking 30 now.
First shiny was a swinub (Gold) in an emulator....
Computer broke next day
yaay....
Two hours ingame and this, the fuck is happening?
First Shiny was a bidoof.
A fucking bidoof.
