I'm pretty unlucky when it comes to shinies, so I haven't encountered a single one while playing Black...
I always found shiny Pokemon ugly, so the hate continues right to B/W as well....
And Shiny Reshiram and Zekrom don't have much of a difference from their normal sprites. =(

I'm pretty lucky, I caught myself a shiny Fushide this morning! What a good way to start the day. And its Adamant natured. Can't get any better.

Not one shiny for me on Black or White. I've been trying to hatch a Shiny Pokabu, since Enubouu's (SP?) shiny form is so amazing :D

For the three wise monkeys I'm going to have to say, I simply adore their shiny forms. The vibrancy from the original forms to this is amazing, and I'm quite impressed.

Yanappu - The change from the forest green to a light/lime-ish green was a great move. This kind of green has it out stand a bit more, as well as come off appealing in my eyes. I'd love to obtain a shiny form for Yanappu and I fond it a bit more than its original.

Baoppu - I'd say this is the only one I don't really fond too, too much. The orange is alright, but I prefer the brick red color for Baoppu. With its original colored form, it represents being a fire type a little more. This is still a decent shiny form for Baoppu though.

Hiyappu - Although it's a little bright, I still like the shiny form for Hiyappu. For some reason I see Hiyappu as a Pokémon you'd see at a beach. /weird like that. I have nothing dire to say for this shiny; a bit bright but pretty decent. I do however prefer the darker toned blue as it seems a bit more simplistic and upright.

Out of the three, Yanappu would be my favorite shiny form. I definitely like the green color used for it, and as I said, I would hope to catch one at some point in the game.

That's not exactly true. Shinies are still hard to come by. Your friend just got lucky.

And is it just me, or is there something...off about Gamageroge's shiny form?:

The orange doesn't compliment it's turquoise really well. That's probably the only reason why it's off.

Ho-Oh November 13th, 2010 6:42 PM

The normal form of it isn't even nice, either. Replace orange with a black or something and it'd look awesome. :D;

Logiedan November 13th, 2010 7:01 PM

I think they could've replaced the turquoise on it's shiny form to a sort of grey-ish red or green.

I looove the red, it matches the original Pokemon a lot more than the shiny we have - the green does look bad, though.

But aren't most toads/frogs in some shade of green? Maybe it's just stereotypes. I do like the green on Gamageroge, though. It should've been a light shade of green with yellow circles and blue eyes.

I'm not a big fan of Virizion, but I did notice that its shiny form is the inverse of its normal form.

Ho-Oh November 14th, 2010 12:34 AM

Nah, the uglier frogs are full on green. XD Brown frogs ftw.

Anddd that is such a beautiful shiny, even though it is the inverted colours. It looks so amazing with those colours.

That looks even better than it's normal form. Most shinies look disgusting. =(

Zelda November 16th, 2010 4:46 AM

I love how graceful the shiny form appears. Both the non-shiny and shiny form are opposites of each other but still have a cool fill from the regular to shiny form. Yes not much of a difference besides the main color switches and outlines, but it still has a serene legendary appearance. I wouldn't mind obtaining it in its regular form, but I believe if I caught the shiny Virizion it would be more interesting to obtain as it's really all luck and chance to catch one out of the blue. o3o

I don't think it rocks the green/orange shiny combo like Swellow does. :/ I prefer the normal blue coloration over it's shiny form.

Jerpy November 16th, 2010 11:49 AM

I would find it hard to believe if someone doesn't like the Shiny version of Kuitaran. I mean, the black works well against the red -makes it look evil...

(Sorry, but I couldn't provide a picture of the Shiny of Kuitaran. Maybe someone else can?)

:D

Three monkeys are adorable on their own, but now I need all of their shinies! I wouldn't evolve them because I was too disappointed at their evolutions.

Andrut November 16th, 2010 1:03 PM

Here are all shinies i obtained at GTS negotiation- the great new addition to the game. I
traded most of them,but i still have them in PokeDex recorded. ^^
Spoiler:

I don't really like this Pokemon,so i'm not overall interested in this shiny.

The shiny candle Pokemon looks amazing! Since it is a Ghost type Pokemon, the blue flame adds to the ghastly aura about it!! Indeed, pretty spooky!
The Mushroom's evolution... I don't really like its colour.

MrsNorrington November 20th, 2010 12:56 PM

These are the only shinies I want in Generation V

I'm currently using the Masuda method to breed a shiny Kibago. Just started last night. I'm around 50 hatched eggs so far.

As for Jarouda, I was actually disappointed how the shiny isn't really blue... I wanted it to keep Tsutarja's blue, or maybe get a purple, seeing as it is a 'royal pokemon'

KaosDoom November 22nd, 2010 10:39 PM

Last month, I've randomly hatched a shiny Monozu after 38 eggs even though it's Masuda method, but I was only looking for Timid nature Monozus. I bred english male Seviper with Dark pulse and female Monozu I found in Victory Road. I was very shocked that I actually hatched a shiny one.. making my fastest MM shiny ever hatched, though I wasn't looking for a shiny. lol
I'm currently SRing for shiny Kyurem and been 6 days. I gave up on Zekrom since I kept on hearing rumors of that Zekrom/Reshiram/Victini can't be shiny in the game.. so I don't know and haven't seen a legit video of them on youtube.

Edit: urrghh... can't post pic nor video.. yet.. I'll be back with them soon after I get 15 posts.. x-x

Zelda December 2nd, 2010 4:37 AM

All these discussions going on about obtaining shinies makes me excited to start trying my luck for next year. I think one of the main shinies I would like to obtain during some point in the game would be Yanappu. The mild lime green color Yanappu has in its shiny form is one of my favorite types of green and to me, this is the best shiny out of all three monkeys included. :3
