    I remember on the red and blue games, I was on red and I was doing the 99 item glitch. I saw a bunch of level 250 odd Nidorina's and then missingno, after misisng no. You run, I accidently caught it. For some reason I went into my bag and threw a masterball, how stupid was I? And then my game messes up.

    Thought i'd keep the topic going.

    I have yet to run into a shiny in pearl... and I've been chaining pretty good... just guess I don't have enough luck. >_<
    I did find a shiny shuppet though on Emerald less than 40 hours into the game.... I was so happy!!! I almost cried and screamed in joy!!! XD

    Pretty much all of my games have been void of shinies in the wild. And Eisaku, if you want to learn about Missingno., there's a sticky in the Color/Metal Generation forum. Or check trsrockin. (.com)

    The day a shiny pops up in my Diamond, I'll probably scream and toss Pokeballs until it's caught. I suck at chaining and I'm unlucky.

    Missingno? Someone's never played Red and Blue.
    How unlucky you've been?


    Anyway, Missingno was a glitch Pokemon that appeared from the data in your name, or something. I forget exactly how to make him appear- all I remember is Surfing along Cinnabar's eastern coast and seeing him. What was cool about him was that he added 256 of whatever item was in the sixth slot of your bag after you fought him, meaning infinite Rare Candies. :D

    Although my memory is a bit rusty...

    Yeh, there was also a Mew glitch for Red & Blue. I ended up getting a wild Scyther on Blue Version instead of Mew. (Which meant I got the glitch wrong), but Scythers are on Red Version to my belief. So was quite funny and annoying.

    I've never seen or owned any kind of shiny. Ever.

    On my Red version, after six years and several hundred hours of playtime, I restarted my game for fun. My friend picked it up and saved without thinking. Now I have to start all over...

    Meh. At least I've got my Diamond.

    I posted something about an unlucky battle tower battle before, but I can't seem to find the post. Oh well. Anyways, it involved a Sheer Cold and lots of Critical Hits landing on my Pokemon.

    Here's a little story I would like to share with you all:

    I was in Victory Road, just raising up my team's levels near the exit to the Pokemon League building. All of a sudden, a shiny Graveler pops up! I was in total shock. It was my first shiny encounter in this game and I was really excited, so I wasn't thinking too clearly. So, I sent out my Lucario and tried to lower it's HP down so I could capture it. Little did I know that it's Mega Kick would be super effective on Graveler. And poor Graveler went down.

    And to think, if I hadn't been so careless with the moves I used, I would have had a shiny Golem sitting in my PC box right now! I guess the moral of this story here is to never get overly excited when you get a shiny, because it may cause you to do something stupid.

    Name one you wan, I'll try ad get it for you :D(I'm dead serious here, dude)

    I've been very unlucky. Trust me...

    Let's see through all the games...

    Red: Beat the game in one setting with only my Charizard. Saved a bunch. Then, I completed the whole dex(took forever in Red). Then the game broke and I couldn't save again, worse though, it erased my Red save... :(

    Crystal: I ran into Suicune, caught it, and damn near completed the whol goddamn dex. My mom got into an accident and the car got impounded, with my crystal inside...Well, I think, I lost it like fourth grade, and to this day still can't find it, so I'm convinced it was in the car.

    Ruby: Had alot of fun with this one... My cousin gave it to me for my B-Day, and I damn near beat that dex too, but , my couch ate the game...JK. I lost it, in the couch, I think...

    Pearl: Well, I ever caught a shiny*. I can't seem to get any of the atures I want, and I've breed at least 37 Shiny Rhyhorns, and STILL not one adamant one...

    *till the other day...I think my game glitched, cause all of a sudden, I ran into like 48 shinies in a row. It's better now.

    You want to hear how unlucky I am? I lost my frikkin' Diamond game with everything on it! I had traded all of my Pokemon on to it! That's including my Mew that I waited like 6 hours for! In game I was going to the Elite Four in Ruby and I saw a shiny Hariyama on the cave and then it wirlwinded me away.

    I caught a shiny volbeat on my sapphire like 3 years ago, and just noticed that it was shiny last week. Turns out they just have Illumise colors.
