Didn't know what the icon came from originally.. I did an Avator quiz somewhere on LiveJournal and I got this one. Thought it was cool so I have been using it since. Thanks man

Actually yeah. In Sapphire I caught a Shiney Nincada, and wasn't even looking though. First Shiney I have ever gotten beside the Red Gyarados in G/S

@ blue, did you just randomly run into the shiney mewtwo, or did you reset?
It was the fourth or fifth time I had reset my file on my Japanese Firered...I was in shock when I got it...now if I could only buy the American FR...

Oh! I looked up Shiny Pics and I see what they are.....I haven't caught one, but I imagine it is VERY hard to find/catch one.

Yes, it is a very low chance to get one.. like 2.5% or something.. unless you use a Gameshark or some other cheat device.. though I don't do that.. I would rather do it legit, more satisfaction.

Not sure of the exact percent but it is everytime you encounter a Pokemon, no matter how you encounter them. (not sure on Eevee and Lapras since you get them from Pokeballs but I am thinking they are still able to become Shiny when you pick them up. Someone want to confirm this?)

At least you don't have to restart the game like I did to get Snorlax.. you just have to walk around a lot which means you can use the VS Seeker on those Channelers and gain a bit of levels while looking for a Shiny Gastly :P

I have a shiny Linoone (trained from a Zigzagoon). My brother is lucky, he hatched a shiny Togepi from his egg in Crystal I think it was.


"One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its laws are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts."
Albert Einstein

"What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative than mathematics."
Benjamin Franklin

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty – a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show."
