That's freaking awesome man! I think I might steal it.. :bandit: even though I don't use Legendaries.

 

[PokemonMaster]

I don't get the difference between Regular and Shiny, someone tell me!

 

[Desaparecidos]

oh man. i have no luck with catching. =/

it would be nice.


have you guys ever caught a shiney, while looking for one? cause it'll prolly come up when i don't expect it, but i want one now! haha

 

[Valmordian]

I don't get the difference between Regular and Shiny, someone tell me!

It is just a different color and sparkles when it comes out.. plus you get bragging rights :laugh:

 

[Scyther5]

@ blue, did you just randomly run into the shiney mewtwo, or did you reset?

 

[Valmordian]

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

 

[Ryoutarou]

@ 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...

 

[Desaparecidos]

i just want one shiny haha!

 

[PokemonMaster]

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.

 

[Valmordian]

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.

 

[Desaparecidos]

yes. waaaay more satisfaction.

is it, 2.5% everytime you encounter a Pokemon? or like 2.5% some other way?

 

[Valmordian]

yes. waaaay 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?)
