"... THE CHANCE IS 1/8192...."
Oh... Well, if
~Fufu3000~ says so he's probably right... lol, sorry everyone, I seriously thought it
was a 1/1892 chance, not 1/8192... ha, my bad. :P
"... I remember reading that you had a 1/1892 chance that the pokémon you encounter will by shiny everytime you encounter a pokémon (gamespot.com, serebii.net)..."
Yeah, I went to recheck that after
~Fufu3000~... I'm REALLY sorry about that guys, I'm actually a little angry at myself too :(
Wait, so, if you walk up to a ledgendary, will it's sprite you have to walk up to be shiny, or, like the starters, do you have to wait untill your in battle? O.o
If you walk up to a legendary pokémon, it's sprite that you have to walk up to will not be shiny. Like the starter pokémon, you have to wait until you're in battle and check out it's battle-sprite. (I think... When I caught ShinyRayquaza, I don't remember his map-sprite looking any different. I could be wrong however... Someone correct me if I am, lol)
"... the chance is 1 out of 8192, thanks to chance/luck, someone out there could be getting thousands of shinies, cuz it's atleast 1 percent..."
Um, technically, if it's 1/8192, then that's a
lot lower than 1%... 1% would be 1/100 chance. If you want an actual percentage than it'd be about 0.0001220703125%, hehe :P
However, you're right about encountering them. It
is possible to encounter shiny pokémon within the next 10-100 pokémon you encounter (though highly unlikely, I think...).
