You just KOed a shiny. What's your reaction?

Ever had that rare moment in any of your Pokemon Games, where a shiny Pokemon pops up? You get all excited about catching it then some how a critical hit comes in and kills it? Or maybe if it's something like a Voltorb or Graveler, self destructs killing your chances.

I remember encountering a Shiny Graveler and totally freaking out. Just when I thought I was about to catch it, it self-destructed >:|. After that I threw my DS at the wall, that was a bad idea :P.

Anyway, what was or would be your reaction if this happened?
Would you rage, scream or just get over it and forget about it completely?

I've never killed a Shiny myself (except for the Red Gyarados in GSC but I don't think that matters) but I think I would immediately turn off the game xD

That has never happened to me, but if it did I would probably swear and then put my game down for a good 5 minutes and think about what just happened.

If I KO'd a Shiny I'd rage like a madman, going "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO..."

I ko'ed a shiny lickitung in crystal. That was the first shiny pokemon I'd ever seen, so i didnt know it was special until i found a pink one...

Fainted a shiny no but I did have Pearl crash on a shiny I was like swearing as it was my first shiny in pearl.

I once ko'd a shiny rhydon after I ran out of poke balls. At least I got to see one though. :p

I would buy a new DS.

And then I'd stop playing for about a week.

Don't worry, I totally understand. Something like that happened when I was little. I encountered a shiny Ryhorn on Victory Road in Pokémon Gold. I made my Feraligatr use Surf on it, and it fainted. I wasn't the brightest 7-year old.

I also encountered a shiny Wingull once at the start of Pokémon Sapphire, before I fought Landon. So I couldn't catch Pokémon yet. I had to defeat it, and I cried myself to sleep afterwards.

reload save state.

if not probably throw ds into the air then try to punch it mid air

ARGH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" *whining*

My reaction when I 1-HKO'd my second shiny, a Pandir.

I didn't KO it.Voltorb used self destruct.

Well, I was pretty angry that I couldn't catch a Shellder on Silver when my PC box was full, so I just got really angry and shut off my Gameboy. Didn't play it for a while after that, silly young Lapras.
