Was too excited to post this earlier, BUT HERE I GO NOW. :DDD



RANDOM SHINY ENCOUNTER AAAAA. <33
Definitely has a perma-place on my team now.

It was one of the very first encounters ever, right after 5 Pokeballs.
It was maybe the 10th Pokemon I ran into. ^___^

Waaaah! only like the tenth? You are quite the lucky player ^.^ congrats, what gender is it?

And congrats on the shiny Sandile get too Kendosis. I hope I get a random shiny encounter (with pokeballs on hand XD )

Caught my first shiny like a hour ago, it was a sandile but I evolved it for obvious reasons lol.

Shiny Krookodile's color scheme is horrible, IMO. But congrats regardless.

Ive not played the game much yet, so havent found a wild shiny. heres hoping i will though. i realllly want a shiny Sandile, probably my fave gen 5 pokemon.

also, a question for the people here. does the Masuda method work in gen 5, or was it just a gen 4 thing? im assuming the latter, but if it does work, i shall transfer one of my japanese dittos across when i get to the point when i can :3

OMG OMG I JUST CAUGHT MY FIRST SHINY POKEMON IN GENERATION V, THE SECOND WILD-CAUGHT SHINY I'VE EVER CAPTURED!!!!

I was just training my Pokemon on Route 3. Actually I was training my own Patrat, who is only at level 9. I was really frustrated after loosing to Lenora/Aloe sooo many times. So I resorted to training a Patrat....

All of a sudden, BAM, WILD SHINY PATRAT APPEARED and I had a heart attack. Good thing was my level 9 Patrat was first in my party. I used tackle, which knocked the shiny Patrat's HP down by half, and caught her in one greatball!

Imma be a regular in here, since I will start my shiny hunting on Black soon.

Congratulations to everyone who has one. We (people in IRC) were discussing the possibility/odds of seeing a shiny have been increased to be slightly more common...

B/W shiny thread lurkers on Serebii have said the chance has not been increased, it just seems like it because so many people are playing, thus more shinies being found. but idk to be honest.

Well, that was my thought, but I don't know.
I don't remember that many shinies last time around for the previous games, however, were they really as hyped as much as this one? I don't think it really was.

Anyway, I ain't really complaining. Only thing is, if it has been increased, then I think the value and awe of having one will go down. :/

I've never caught a legit shiny apart from Red Gyarados, but that's story-related so to me it doesn't count (Even though he's awesome). Hopefully this Gen I'll find one :3

On my way out of the Celestial Tower, i was able to catch a shiny Litwick, i used a quick ball cause i didn't want to take the chance of it fainting.

I just caught a shiny kangaskhan on White. I just barely caught the end of the sparkle. I heard it and barely registered it until I saw the blue sparkles when I looked down. It's my first random encounter shiny since Firered. Not to mention the only random encounter I've ever caught. I am still shaking.

Hmm yeah. It is still possible it was increased though, because the Masuda Method was apparently. But yeah XD Just as long as I get a random shiny I will be happy.

And much like other posters in this thread, I have my first shiny on White. I was raising up my Pokemon on Route 3 while looking for new Pokemon to catch. The first Pidlove I found had sparkles twirl around it when the battle started. I just happened to glance down at my DS when the battle started. Which is good, because Pidlove's shiny colors are rather close to its regular colors. But I'm still happy. And my shiny bird is male, and I rather like the colors of a shiny Unfezant.

This is my first wild-caught shiny since a Weedle on Silver. So I'm quite happy.

For those asking about the Masuda Method, it does exist in BW. HOWEVER, it has been changed slightly. Instead of making four calls to the RNG, it now makes six. :) In simple terms? The chances of getting a shiny went from ~1/2000 to ~1/1300.

Congrats to all the shiny catchers so far! I really like the Liepard colors and the shiny Lillipup. <3 :) Like many othes, I also caught my first shiny in Black tonight!! Eeeeeee! Once I saw the sparkles I was so excited lol. *_*

I was really going for a Deerling since I really like their color and after seeing other shinies in this thread I felt determined to try for my own. Well, I spent nearly all day on and off with random encounters but luckily I got it! :D It's my first random encounter shiny as well, so I'm really pleased!
Sorry if the quality isn't too great, I only have a cell phone camera. >.<

Spoiler:


I was tired of playing and just about ready to give up and turn off my DSi for the night so it could charge. While I was walking towards the exit in the grass this popped up along with a non-shiny Deerling in a double encounter. Woot! I'm pretty excited to do more shiny hunting once I get further into the game.
