i have never found a legit shiny

and i probably never will

I found a shiny Roselia and a shiny Rattata, not counting the Red Gyarados.
Oh and a shiny Hoothoot back in Silver, that I still have.

To say nothing of shinies I've bred, but they're from RNG abuse so I don't know how legit you'd count them since while I'm doing nothing to edit the game itself, I'm tinkering with a program that helps me track them down.

I remember when I didn't know about shinies and my friend mentioned that there was a such thing as a purple Rapidash. I was playing Crystal at the time and was training my Pokemon just outside the cave where you fight Red. I had just got through saying how I thought there was no way there was a purple Rapidash when HOLY SHIT SPEAK OF THE DEVIL A PURPLE RAPIDASH! I got it down to low yellow HP and almost got it to red so I could catch it, but I got a critical hit. I was pissed at the time, but still its hilarious in retrospect how perfect that was.

I was hoping he'd run away by accident.

its less about him getting excited over trivial things and more about how big of a giant fucking nerd he is lol

also my first shiney was a ponyta in diamond lol found it on my way to school (car pooling)

I can't call people giant fucking nerds in good conscience

Yes, in the lounge.

This guy has a fucking LEGIT shiny collection.

holy moly

this guy is a basement dweller

I one time got a shiny hypno from a freind of mine and found a shiny wurmple (that I never caught) in my sapphire game before I sold my GBA games. Another thing that nintendo does enjoy to troll us with is the fact the some trainers in battle tower in FR/LG will have shiny pokemon.

fucking bastards

Probably because of the fact that i'm poor.

I love that he tells us what he was listening to and what time it is when he catches it.

nerd was probably the wrong term to use, i think i heard basement dweller? yeah that ones better.

I like how at the end of the video it cuts off when he says "TIME TO GET A NEW HOBBY!"

i actually think its kinda cool

i mean the fact that he put that much work into doing something and finally achieved it

that's p. admirable

My only ever shiny was a Clefairy in Diamond in Mt. Coronet. Caught it, then escaped roped so I could go see it in my box. I saved and turned off to make sure it saved right, and the data was corrupt and it sent me back to my last save point.

Shiny Golbat while Training on Victory Road, a shiny Unown while trying to catch all the Unown letters, and a shiny Drowzee. All in Soul Silver

Yeah three shinies in one game. Eat it.


Never caught a shiny in my life before then however.

Having the Random Number Generator smile on you is hardly admirable or skillful. It just requires a lot of patience and free time.

You wouldn't say that someone who played the lottery every week eventually getting a payoff as 'admirable'.

I actually had two shinies : Trapinch and Machop.
All by pure luck.
