Dope!!!!!!!!
 
I was playing Fire Red, and the FIRST POKEMON I SAW IN THE GAME was a SHINY PIDGEY!!! I was so mad because you don't have any pokeball until your deliver the prof's parcel!!! ARGH!!!!! I'll never get that chance again...

Shadow May 7th, 2004 5:56 PM

Wow, that must suck. I always hate how you can never buy/recieve Pokeballs in the absolute beginning, and you always have to do a little guest first...

/me casts Death on Oak's Parcel

jj984jj May 7th, 2004 5:59 PM

Yeah I agree, Prof. Oak should give you at least 5 when he make you pick your first pokemon. That was really bad luck. :P

Jess May 7th, 2004 6:02 PM

Well I almost died when my Bulbasaur was shiny.

Dizzy May 7th, 2004 7:12 PM

They should start you off with a shiny pokemon, just to make everyone in the whole world feel specia...l

Cherrim May 7th, 2004 7:16 PM

^_^; But then you wouldn't really feel as special... kinda like with the Red Gyarados.

As for me, I've only ever come across a shiny Pokemon once (excluding Gyarados). oo; Luckily, it was late in the game and I was able to catch it. Then again, I almost didn't notice it. XD I know someone who found a shiny Hoothoot in the beginning of GSC. @[email protected] It must really suck to see one and not be able to catch it.

LOL and the sad thing was that I bragged about that Shiny Gyarados until I found out everyone had one!

I never really got to know my Red Gyarados, I made it a Sex Slave @[email protected] It had really good moves though.

Cherrim May 7th, 2004 7:25 PM

Lol, that's an... interesting way of putting it. XD

I used to make fun of my friend because she beat it instead of catching it. o_O

Dizzy May 7th, 2004 7:27 PM

lol.. dont they give less experience points? OMG lightning I had the illest vision! You posted something about what i posted above and then I got banned :) and you were like...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!11111oneoneone

Cherrim May 7th, 2004 7:56 PM

I'm pretty sure a shiny Pokemon would give the same amount of EXP as anything else... Lol, I have no clue. *is so useless when it comes to games* XD;

Frostweaver May 7th, 2004 9:21 PM

A shiny Pokemon in FRLG or RS has no difference in comparison to the other Pokemon except for appearance. They won't give you extra EV, extra Exp or learn new moves.

I saw a shiny spinarak before in GSC, but I killed it asap because... I hate bugs o.o;

Neko Keeshi May 7th, 2004 9:33 PM

The only shiny's I'v ever got was the red Gyarados.... :(

Mr Cat Dog May 7th, 2004 11:52 PM

Aw... anyways. The same thing once happened to me in RuSa - a shiny Poochyena. I can't remember the exact colour, since I haven't played the games for ages... but I know how you feel. But like frostweaver said, a shiny Pokemon really isn't anything to brag about, since the only difference is in the colour... which isn't that good when ti comes to battling.

Intuition May 8th, 2004 5:30 AM

But you can brag about it to your friends.. I never caught/saw a shiny pokemon
too.. Just bad luck! :P

IceKitten May 8th, 2004 6:15 AM

I always save state when I encounter a shiny, and this one time, I saw a shiny (can't remember which one it was) and I went to my bag and there was nothing I could do, I didn't want to loose it though o_O

I just stared at it then fainted it :(

LanceLite May 8th, 2004 8:54 AM

man dudes thats unlucky........... its even unlucky that i never saw a shiny pokemon in fr/lg......... :(

stewie&rupert May 11th, 2004 12:56 PM

tahts y i packed my bag with unlimited master balls. ill never miss a shiny. i only found a desert brown cacnea.

with shiny cacturn i shall rule!!!!!

Simon May 11th, 2004 4:13 PM

Do you really need the masterballs? Almost every pokemon I've caught so far I've just tossed a Nest/Ultra Ball at it and I got it.

Only shiny POkemon I've had is a Bagon. Forgot the color it was but it's a green-skinned Salamence now.

Cassie-chan May 11th, 2004 7:11 PM

I saw a shiny paris in gold. I didn't have any pokeballs *cries*

Scyther5 May 11th, 2004 7:49 PM

Awww, it will be ok GG. there will be more!
As for me I havent even encountered one shinney!
Sheesh

The Darkening May 11th, 2004 8:48 PM

the only shiny i've encountered is a shiny unknown, it was early in the game and all i had was pokeballs, i ended up using them all up and having to faint the **** thing. Not that they are much use.

pokeguy76 May 12th, 2004 9:04 AM

Shiny pokémon are ment to be rare because if you see one, someone might have a heart-attack

SiruKai May 13th, 2004 7:05 AM

Beat The Game In Ru/Sa
 
I beat the game in *topic* and I have never encountered 1 shiny pokemon... not like it mattered much to me though...........

stewie&rupert May 18th, 2004 7:13 PM

Something like that happened to me. I wanted to catch the bugger anyway but I had no balls... V_V'

Jari May 19th, 2004 12:47 PM

Never encountered one in Ruby while i have the first 200.
I have a few in Silver/Crystal though: Celebi,Rhydon,Larvitar,Tyranitar and Raticate.
On Pokémoncrater: Cacturne,Sceptile,Scizor,Dratinice,Dratinire,Zapdos.

Because i have the first 200,so I want them also in shiny.
