3rd Gen I am so unlucky...

I have had my saphire for 1 or 2 years now. I have never seen a shiny pokemon on it or any other of my games. I started my saphire again and when I was about to battle Brendon, I found a gold poochyena. Just my luck... I had no pokeballs. You can't get them that early in the game. I am so unlucky... :(

Oh, that's really bad luck! Still, it could have been worse: you could have seen a gold poochyena chasing Dr. Birch!

Yeah! It would be funny if it was gold outside of the battlescreen... though i don't think it would have been.

I reckon the small pictures of shinies should look different too. My Cubone is black but its sprite is still the same.

That's called lazy programming.

I want a Black Charizard, but I want the sprite to be light blue.

Just with all shinies, this all comes down to luck, bad luck in your case. Oh well, nothing you can do about it, unless you start a petition and get like a million signatures, although even then I don't think Nintendo'll listen. :/

I feel sorry for you. That is really bad luck. The spirtes should be different colours to. Like a green espeon ( shiny) Has a normal purple spirte. Werid. And i know shiny hunters would also complain about the dullness of shiny spirtes. Infact abyone who has caught a shiny would.

They should change the sprites, make it look better. Never mind. Maybe they will for another game.

hmm this is getting a bit of topic. But to trade to r/s from fr/lg you need to have beaten the elite 4 once and to have given the ruby and sapphire plates to bills friend back in 1st island.

If they did change the spirtes it would be a better game. I know its only one slight difference but it would make alot of fans happy.

Awww, you're really unlucky, hope you'll meet another shiny!

Uhhuh that was very rotten but keep looking and youll find a golden poochyena because someone once found a charmander...o.O

u got 2 beat elite 4 and find r/s plates on island 1! oh god its gonna take me ages.

i've played since gold and i've never ever seen a shiny, besides gyrados of course.


Its pure luck....

I wouldn't use it anyways, as im more concerned with breeding so pokemon have higher IV's...



A friend of mine caught a red gyrados in the wild. I felt so bad for him... lol...

I've played about 250 hours on my Sapphire, without finding a single shiny :\

On crystal, I've found two, not counting Gyarados. I got a shiny Igglybuff in the odd egg, and I found a shiny tangela outside Mt. Silver, which I was unable to catch :\

My sapphire has 300+ hours on it, and I don't have a single shiny. I have seen some, but due to lack of Pokeball and money to buy Pokeball, I couldn't catch it.

I have about 360 hours on my Sapphire game, and I still haven't found a shiny either. I'm too scared to cheat...

ANYWAYS, I hope you find a fantastic shiny Pokemon in the future~!

Scared of cheating?

Why?

Not like it wrecks your game - I cheat all the time with my non-existant Game Shark.

Main thing is don't cheat kids, and VOTE LION HEART FOR PRES.
