Hey guys,
It's been a while since I've posted, but let's get into it regardless. This is taken from Bulbapedia:
Under normal circumstances, a shiny Pokemon has a 1/8192 chance of spawning, and the odds do not change with each encounter, making it all the more elusive. This encounter rate can be reduced by other methods, such as Friend Safari, the Masuda Method (which involves breeding two Pokemon of different nationality), chain fishing, the Poke Radar and more. Even with these methods, the rate can still be at a whopping few thousand.
Which brings us to the topic at hand: Are you a shiny fan? Do you actively seek out shiny Pokemon through breeding or encounters (yours truly does). :p Why do we value shines so much despite them being no different from regular Pokemon? Do you like shiny Pokemon? Discuss away!

Bulbapedia said:A Shiny Pokémon (Japanese: 色違い differently colored or 光る shining), called Color Pokémon in Pokémon Stadium 2, also recognized as alternate coloration or rare coloration, is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.
