Damn platinum
 
Right then, first a little back story.

The only time i have seen a shiny pokemon on any pokemon game was on leaf green when i saw a tentacool. Sadly i had no pokeballs and i missed out.

And a couple of days ago, on the day i got pokemon platinum i encounter a shiny budew and i think "OMG!!! i'm so lucky to find a shiny with only a few hours of playing AND ihave pokeballs." BUT... i am unable to catch the budew because i am with cheryl in eterna forest and it is "impossible to aim the pokeball"!

How much would this annoy you?

bluechu May 30th, 2009 2:25 PM

it would annoy me.... but if you got rid of the other pokemon that was with said budew (since it would be a double battle) youd have been able to catch it

That's true, but then the Chansey could make a move on the Budew without you knowing and could KO the Budew. It could get annoying if that happened.

Thats what happened. As i was getting rid of the non-shiny budew in the battle chansey was repetedly using egg-bomb on the shiniy budew :(

If something like that happened to me, I'd instantly assassinate Chansey/Kadabra/Arcanine/Whoever-I'm-With first.

bluechu May 30th, 2009 2:55 PM

also, this is the same thing that is happening to me at Stark Mountain right now. i cant catch a weezing or a koffing all thanks to that fools claydol! >.< i have even tried attacking claydol+getting rid of it with my torterra, but it still doesnt seem to work out in my favor..

That's what I would do as well. It'd be pretty annoying if my pokemon were slower or not as strong to beat the Chansey or whoever is following me around.

DannyPhantom May 30th, 2009 3:12 PM

Can't you attack the chansey too??

I dunno..

but that's fail xD sorry

and I'm pretty sure, chansey would've attacked the non shiny if you started attacking the shiny.. as it always attacks the opposite from what you attack

not always. i tried that a few times with that guys claydol, he just went ahead and attacked the weezing/koffing too. fail...

Kagamine May 30th, 2009 3:39 PM

Ouch, that sucks so much. D: I'd probably quit for the day (or a few days) to let off some steam. You should feel lucky though, the only shiny Pokemon I've seen was the Red Gyarados from G/S/C. >_>

Calvo819 May 30th, 2009 4:30 PM

you shouldve Knocked Out the your partner, then knocked out the other pokemon, then catch budew. i caught Beautifly doing that

Sweet Jasmine May 30th, 2009 9:02 PM

Jeez. That's a bad luck :3 for me.. Well yeah im getting annoyed and throw my DS. xD!

carter756978 May 31st, 2009 1:39 PM

i have decided it is my mission to get good at chaining and to catch a shiny budew!!! Its gonna take me ages but then i won't feel bad about losing out

Milke May 31st, 2009 2:01 PM

That sucks. You should have killed Chansey, then the other pokemon, then caught Budew.

Priest May 31st, 2009 2:01 PM

I wouden't care


Cuz, I am to stupid to see the difference between a shiny and a non shiny xD


To be honest I don't even know what a shiny pokemon are so, You are welcome to inform me ;)

~Peace

Taemin May 31st, 2009 2:15 PM

It would annoy me a bit, but it's only a Budew.. so it wouldn't have gotten to me too much. I'm not into Shiny hunting, and as far as I know, I've never once ran into a Shiny on any of my games. Since I don't collect them, I wouldn't really care if lost out on one. xD;

Quatra May 31st, 2009 2:58 PM

I came across a Shiny Graveler heading towards turn back cave in Platinum. I had master balls, but wanted to catch him with an Ultra ball or something else. I got his hp down to yellow, and he used destruct. I felt so stupid, i completely forgot about them using destruct or explosion.

seeker May 31st, 2009 3:05 PM

I would have knocked out Cheryls pokemon then the non shiny then catch budew but i guess thats pretty hard to do!
Thats a sickener tho i would have went crazy :(

Wow that really is quite a drag. It happened to me once as well.

There was this one time when I ran into a shiny Steelix in Pokemon Pearl with Riley. I was aiming for Riley's pokemon but when I used a move on it, suprisingly it did not faint. Riley's pokemon used an attack on the Steelix and it apparently fainted right after. If there was only an option to choose where Riley or the others who follow you around, to make a move on which pokemon that would be cool. Although I don't think it would happen any time soon on if they do happen to do that.

SkittyLover77 May 31st, 2009 4:05 PM

Oh gah. I would simply die.

What a bummer, it's almost like you never had a chance.

you're right but sometimes cheryl attacks the other pokemon so the budew will faint so i suggest killing chansey first then the other pokemon then catch budew

(off topic: i chaugt a shiny roselia with one ultraball)

That was my first thought to cheer me up but a shinys still a shiny so i was still disappointed

templekeeper June 1st, 2009 7:36 AM

I don't see what the big deal is considering chaining Budew to 40 takes ten minutes even if you take 5 mistake-patches :/...if it was a Slugma at Stark Mountain with Buck, then I'd feel really sorry for you.

EDIT: Oops, Budew, not Bidoof...eheheh. Still, same deal-

TEAM BLUE June 1st, 2009 7:41 PM

Wow The Same Thing Happen To My Big Sister She Was Playing Platinum And Then She Encountered A Shiny Budew.....I Told Her To Kill Cheryl's Chansey But She Refused.....Later She Killed The Other Pokemon And Chansey Used Eggbomb On Budew Luckily It Survived Than She Cuaght It.....:)
