Discuss what you think about Shiny Pokémon. Was it a good idea to put in Shiny Pokémon in GSC? Do you have any Shiny Pokémon? Have you encountered any Shiny Pokemon? Discuss all about them here.

But Shinies are good for bragging rights and to amaze your friends who don't know anything about them.

I have a shiny Spinarak in Silver (and the Red Gyarados, of course) And I might have some others, I don't know, I didn't log it :P

Could it be that shinies were put in there to fill empty slots? So we wouldn't get the whole Missingno. glitch again? I'm not a programmer, so I'm just guessing from what I've read..

No, shinies are just when you get lucky and the game is programmed to sometimes give you an alternatively coloured Pokémon.

not necessarily "luck". you can greatly increase your odds through breeding, then it becomes a little more than luck. chance would be a better word. of course in the wild you only have a 1:8,192 chance to find a shiny. that would be something you could call luck.

It's still luck, even IF you increase the chances, as there is still a chance of not getting the Shiny.

Also, tge breeding means you actually have to already have a Shiny, so it doesn't help for people who haven't got a shiny yet.

i'll settle with the luck thing, but with breeding you don't have to have a shiny. the pokemon just has to have the defense/special genes of a shiny, and it can pass those down, possibly producing a shiny.

Haven't even seen a shiny other than the Gyrados in about 50 hours of Crystal. One day..

I really hope when I do find one, it's not a Swinub or Zubat or something.

By the way, do Pokemon only have one shiny color variation?
yeah they do

I think shiny pokemon are over rated. I have found 3 shiny pokemon though. A bagon ,a Nicada, and A groudon(god I was lucky on this one) But i really don't look for them cuz i like my pokemon to look normal....as normal as they are XD

just wondering, If I breed say a male shiny with a female non-shiny of a different species do I still get the reduced odds?
a lot of factors go into figuring out the odds while breeding. things like gender, gender ratios, and genes. you can't really tell what the odds will be with that information. they could be anywhere from 0:1 to 1:32

It was a good idea, it gives people more of an incentive to keep on playing.

I still remember when I first encountered my first shiny in Silver. I was bored and I was fishing in the Cerulean Gym, just doing nothing. All of a sudden I get a tug on my Super Rod. It was a Kingler, didn't think any of it. All of sudden it flashed and it was silver!!! First I thought it was a glitch. I had no Poke balls on me and I had no choice to kill it. At the point I kept fishing, hoping to get another chance to encounter that Kingler.... but it never happened again. Good times good times.
I have returned... in some form. :D

this is not possible unless the game was glitching up. every trainer's pokemon has a preset gene set. and none of them are the genes of a shiny.

No it's possible. In Leaf Green if you go to battle tower and enter double battle then a girl trainer will have a Shiny espeon.
