When I think of the first shiny I ever encountered, it makes me mad. I was soft resetting ruby to get a shiny starter, and was at the part right before you get your pokemon and fight poochyena, well after about 2 hours I didn't get a shiny starter, however I did run into a freakin gold poochyena. But of course since I was only at that point in the game, I didn't even have any pokeballs
:C
Then just the other day when I was looking through my boxes, I noticed something odd about the bulbasaur I had gotten from the gts. I noticed it before but I didn't think much of it. Then I saw that red star next to it's picture and realized the difference in color from a regular bulbasaur. So I got excited, but checked it's summary just to make sure it was legit. It said: "Found on route 110 (Or something like that.)" Darn action replay hax! So I released it....... :C
