I've never ran away from a shiny luckily, though I have friends who have and I feel so bad for them. Can you imagine finding a shiny in the Safari zone and having it run away?
Oof. You just reopened an old wound there.

While it never actually ran away from me, I found a shiny Paras in the Safari Zone on Fire Red. The thing is, I only had 1 Safari Ball left after wasting the rest trying to catch Dratini/Dragonair/Chansey, so I was definitely caught off guard when I saw it. Because I didn't want it to run away, I figured my only shot was to try the Safari Ball on the first turn, knowing that I'd rather take the slim guaranteed chance over trying to throw a rock or two at it and possibly missing out. Safe to say, it broke out after two shakes, and I didn't touch Fire Red again for like a month :p

I had a moment of a lost shiny and it was a Boldore encountered in Twist Mountain in Black. I didn't kill it or anything, but accidentally ran from it without noticing it was shiny. What a stupid mistake I made there, but at least that shiny Drilbur I caught months after that made up for it.

Mmmm I love a lot of my shinies. My Shiny Corsola, my Shiny Starmie, and my Shiny Sylveon would have to be my favorite top three that I actually own. c: Then probably my Shiny Azumarill? I would say my shiny milotic but I don't have it anymore. :(

And there are so many other shinies that I actually wish to have someday.

I only ever had very few shinies in the games. The only ones I remember rn is Oddish and Geodude in Ruby. And Gyarados in Gold but that really doesn't count :p

I also have a shiny Basculin on my main White 2 game that I caught on New Year's Eve 2013, and that's one that a lot of people have said is right up there with Garchomp as one of the weaker shinies out there. I remember when I was EV training something then and was hoping for a shiny Druddigon instead, which I did find early this year.

It's kind of a shame that I never got to play the Stadium games due to never owning a Nintendo 64.

And speaking of a shiny Weedle, I remember randomly hatching one in X when I was trying to get a good Weedle to transfer to ORAS so I could use Mega Beedrill.

Shiny Weedle, eh? What is this, bring back Brendan's terrible childhood weekend or something? Okay, so it was on an emulator BUT STILL.

That always stinks, finding a shiny before you even get Poke Balls. Thank god that never happened to me.

Pokemon Stadium that reminds me of the Shiny Elekid I apparently got through the egg (which makes sense as it's 50% from that egg I believe?) but I didn't realize until I brought the Elekid onto Stadium 2 hahah.

And ughhhh that is the worse. I would have probably cried and never played the game if that happened to me. At least not for weeks.

If you look it up you might be able to find out. I'm sure there are plenty who have asked the same question.

This all makes me want to play Pokemon Stadium 2 myself but hnng the effort when I can only have one console connected to the TV at a time and we'realready playing a game anyways lmao.

I remember some people didn't really like Snap, but that could have had appeal I can understand. But Hey You, Pikachu! on the other hand...

I never got past like... the second or third day of Hey You, Pikachu! because I didn't know what to do and Pikachu didn't like to listen. Between Hey You, Pikachu! and Pokemon Channel I would pick the latter anyday tbh.

I'm sure Hey You, Bergmite! would just fly right off the shelves, haha.

With some of the side games that they've put out recently on the 3DS, I'm a little surprised they haven't tried reviving either Pokemon Snap or Hey You, Pikachu. I know they tried doing Pokemon Dream Radar where you could interact with Pokemon through the 3DS' camera, but I always thought they could've expanded on that by making a Pokemon Snap style game, too.

It'd be funny if you could play around with a Pokémon meant to be intimidating. Kinda makes me think of how people use stuff like those in Amie xP

I'm more disappointed that Pokemon like the Regi trio don't really give much, if any reaction to being petted or fed in Aime. :<
Well... They are kind of golems, emotions aint their thing 8)

I just bought Alpha Sapphire, so I have yet to use Amie, but I'm definitely interested in trying it out. Something about petting a bergmite makes me very excited, haha.

Playing to Black 2, one of those plasma sages starts talking about covering the world in ice, and I don't know if I still want to stop them :/

I just checked, and it looks like those themes are only being released in Europe, so anyone elsewhere is out of luck for now (except for Japan, since they've got a bajillion more themes than everyone else).

They look cool, but $2.49 is a bit steep for me to justify spending on a theme. 99 cents, maybe, but when I only look at it for 15 seconds before playing my game, it isn't really worth it. If they make one featuring Unown though, I might reconsider :p

I already have the Primal Groudon/Kyogre and Rayquaza themes but I'll probably get that eeveelution one because that looks adorable and I like wasting money.

Ooo. I'm usually not one for themes like that (my 3DS is default theme as of right now), but that Mega Charizard X one is actually pretty tempting. :o Maybe maybe hmm.

When it comes to shinies, shiny Metagross will always be one of my most favorites.

Its white body color seems to suit the Pokémon much better than its regular one, which is blue. On top of this, the cross that Metagross has on its face turns gold when it is in its shiny form, making it look even more sweet, at least to me.

Also, I believe Pokémon Snap for Wii U would be great! I'd imagine them to have us utilize the gamepad more when capturing pictures of Pokémon and whatnot, which should help in making things feel more interactive, and fun overall.

You have to admit though, Regice is pretty cute here!
Such a shame you can't pet it because you'll freeze if you do. Its body is like nothing but literal ice.

Honestly, I'm still puzzling over how it even ate the pokepuffs in the first place.

Because that piece of logic confuses me more than the others somehow!
