As for the second situation, that had me laughing quite a bit (and I can speak from experience because, as mentioned in my previous post in this thread, the same thing happened to me, only I didn't get a pillow thrown/tossed at me. :P :cer_laugh:) Those GameBoy game files must be a bit fragile/delicate if a mere pillow can cause a game restart and file deletion...

Shiny Male Combee. I cried myself to sleep and stained my DS screen.
|
some classics classic, first shiny pokemon:Nidoran F in safari zone ._.
2nd Shiny Tauros, Safari zone.... 3rd Shiny heracross, Safari zone ] THE WORST Shiny Rayquaza in emerald: killed my underleveld team... Even Today I hate myself for believing in the stupid theory "Keep a Masterball for a week in you PC and you'll get 99" |
Shiny Taillow in Route 104, had spent the 5 Pokéballs earlier. ;-;

Worst? My whole time I played FireRed. I was very young, and had no way of getting onto the internet, so I didn't know what a shiny was.
Anyway, I started it out, normal game. I was like, "Hmm, what starter.. lets choose this water turtle thing." It was shiny. I kid you not. My first ever pokemon was a shiny, and you know what I did? Restarted the game. I thought it was a glitch, and I said something like: "Dude, stars? What the heck.." So I reset my game and chose a Charmander. I played a bit, and got to Viridian Forest, and a Weedle poisoned me. It was also shiny. I was mad that it poisoned me, so I ran. I ran into a few others I can't remember well. This is pretty much why I became a shiny hunter. I don't want my stupidness to run away from another shiny again. |
I found a shiny Raticate in Gen II (can't remember if it was Gold, Silver or Crystal). I'm pretty sure I didn't catch it because I ran out of balls, but I didn't really care since Raticate is pretty useless in later battles anyways.
|
I had 4 shinies in Platinum (Roselia, Sneasel, Marill, Blissey) and another in HeartGold (Mewtwo). Unfortunately, I lost both games.
|
Well, I personally haven't had any bad shiny moments but my brother had a really bad one.
My brother has NEVER caught a shiny pokemon before... I had 4, so he got frustrated and looked up how to use the Pokeradar after I told him he could potentially use that to get a shiny (All mine were found with pure luck). first couple times he failed but the 3rd one he got up to like a 50 streak on mightyenas. Eventually he found a shiny one and he was ecstatic. Here is how the fight went First he switched out of his killer Pokemon into a false swiper. He used false swipe. He threw an ultra ball that failed. Mightyena used roar All motivation was crushed in that moment. |
Found a shiny Mr. mime in soul silver's safari zone, and it RAN THE FRICK AWAY!
|
Shiny Snorlax in Fire Red with no Pokeballs.
|
In Crystal on the cycling path near Celadon, I ran into a shiny Grimer. Yay! I use one weak attack to get her into yellow health. Grimer flees. WHAT/ THEDDWS EKDS WHYYY I don't visit the Safari Zone out of fear of having a shiny flee. Who designs this stuff?

✿ The only shiny I've ever encountered, in my seven years of playing Pokemon, was a random, non-radar Roselia while EV-training my Gardevoir. The DS ran out of battery. |
I was Soft-Resetting for a shiny starter on Pokemon Ruby and found a shiny Poochyena, and the only other I ever saw was a shiny Slugma in Pokemon Emerald, and all I had was like four Pokeballs... I didn't catch it.
|
I've only seen three Shinies, and none at inopportune times. Shiny Nincada in Emerald (successful catch, now the one I am cloning for trades), and two Shiny Audinos in White 2 (how I ended up with a second chance at a Shiny Audino I'll never figure out). The first Shiny Audino, as you might be able to tell, got away; my first attack ended up being a crit. and down it went. Thankfully, I was able to catch the second without difficulty, so I haven't really missed out on anything Shiny.

I can't really recall any bad shiny expriences. I do have a story of my friend running around bragging about his shiny sandshrew when we were doing a challenge speedrun of SoulSilver, but he shut up about it when I found a shiny koffing in burned tower ;)
|
Well, there was one time I chained a shiny Budew. I got it at 6 on the chain, which does not happen often(there's a quite low chance of a shiny patch there, but I found one) I caught it and named it. I went and started another chain of Skitty and got it up to the 30's well, the chain then broke. I was so mad I turned off the DS. Now, this is what makes the experience bad: Id forgotten to save after catching the Budew. I think you can imagine how mad I was after that.
|
Shiny Rhyhorn in the Safari Zone on SS. Rage quit after losing it. 'Nuff said.
|
Shiny Rayquaza in Emerald. I had no balls with me. Yeah...
Then there was that shiny Electrode in the Rocket Hideout in SS... |
I chained a Roselia with the Pokeradar back in platinum only to end up accidentally running from it. I've never made another attempt at finding another shiny since that day.
|
I've been playing since R/S and played every game to the end after that (excluding B2/W2) and have never seen a shiny! I got shiny Entei with the pre-HG/SS event but that's it! The worst thing is when i got my cousin to play Sapphire she got a shiny on about her 3rd badge whiile I was helping her. Poképroblems :(
|
I can think of two bad shiny experiences. One comes from Emerald, where I encountered a shiny in the Battle Pyramid. And the second came from Silver, where I found a shiny Tangela only to see it flee on the first chance it had. ;_;
Fortunately my good experiences outweigh those two, so I'm not too upset. |
The only wild shiny I have ever seen (aside from the garydos and the egg from the daycare center) was the first wild pokemon I fought in gsc. I had literally just stepped outside of newbark, into the grass after getting my cyndaquil and I saw a shiny. It sucked... after nearly 2k hours of pokmon playing, I still have yet to see another legit shiny.
|
The worst shiny experience I've had recently was a shiny tangela in pokemon black or white version... not sure which one though
|
The only Shiny Pokémon I've ever encountered was a Tentacool on Ruby.
I caught it, but then a few months later I restarted. I cry myself to sleep every night |
