You just KOed a shiny. What's your reaction?

[Rainbow Arcanine]

Ever had that rare moment in any of your Pokemon Games, where a shiny Pokemon pops up? You get all excited about catching it then some how a critical hit comes in and kills it? Or maybe if it's something like a Voltorb or Graveler, self destructs killing your chances.

I remember encountering a Shiny Graveler and totally freaking out. Just when I thought I was about to catch it, it self-destructed >:|. After that I threw my DS at the wall, that was a bad idea :P.

Anyway, what was or would be your reaction if this happened?
Would you rage, scream or just get over it and forget about it completely?

 

[Pharetra]

I've never killed a Shiny myself (except for the Red Gyarados in GSC but I don't think that matters) but I think I would immediately turn off the game xD

 

[TheLastAvenger]

That has never happened to me, but if it did I would probably swear and then put my game down for a good 5 minutes and think about what just happened.

 

[Hikamaru]

If I KO'd a Shiny I'd rage like a madman, going "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."

 

[Pinta77]

I ko'ed a shiny lickitung in crystal. That was the first shiny pokemon I'd ever seen, so i didnt know it was special until i found a pink one...

 

[Kikaito plush]

Fainted a shiny no but I did have Pearl crash on a shiny I was like swearing as it was my first shiny in pearl.

 

[Palkia]

I once ko'd a shiny rhydon after I ran out of poke balls. At least I got to see one though. :p

 

[Ice Car]

I would buy a new DS.

And then I'd stop playing for about a week.

 

[BakingBluePotatoe]

"Wait... WHAT!? NOOOOOO!!!!"

then stare at the screen in disbelief.

Don't worry, I totally understand. Something like that happened when I was little. I encountered a shiny Ryhorn on Victory Road in Pokémon Gold. I made my Feraligatr use Surf on it, and it fainted. I wasn't the brightest 7-year old.

I also encountered a shiny Wingull once at the start of Pokémon Sapphire, before I fought Landon. So I couldn't catch Pokémon yet. I had to defeat it, and I cried myself to sleep afterwards.

reload save state.

if not probably throw ds into the air then try to punch it mid air

 

[Tora]

"....

....

....

ARGH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *whining*

My reaction when I 1-HKO'd my second shiny, a Pandir.

 

[Blues-Music]

I didn't KO it.Voltorb used self destruct.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

This has never happened to me (gotta blame my bad luck... I got only 1 shiny without the OW ones :/).
But if it happened...

I never KOed a shiny, but by chance, I once ran across a shiny Poochyena in Emerald. I was very very happy. Then it used Roar.
What you feel at this very moment is... Indefinable. You want to throw your console with all your might against the closest wall. And shout. And jump out the window. But, I was personnally too shocked, too surprised to do anything like this. It was a disillusion. I just didn't move for a while, waiting this absolute disgust to go... And then I continue to train my Pokémon.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Depends on whether it's a species I care about. If it is, cue screaming, pulling out of hair, and throwing my DS across the room. Especially if a dreaded critical hit was to blame.

But if it's something I don't care for, I'll just shrug it off and move on. I've got enough shinies, and they're mostly collecting dust because their natures aren't conducive to battling.

 

[Sydian]

"Oops. I'll go RNG a better one!"

 

[Altairis]

Well, I was pretty angry that I couldn't catch a Shellder on Silver when my PC box was full, so I just got really angry and shut off my Gameboy. Didn't play it for a while after that, silly young Lapras.

 

[Eucliffe]

It's never happened to me, but this face would likely sum up how I'd feel:

(Of course, once I get my sucky Windows emulator working on here again I could always use PokeGen + Pokecheck to get me a shiny of the one I accidentally KOed :B)
