The chances are 1/8192 of finding a shiny in any encounter... and you happened to find it on a legendary? That's so awesome. I am really jealous! Shame you can't transfer from Generation II --> Generation III. I've found two shiny's in my life; both in Pokemon Platinum. One was a shiny Shinx (becomes Luxray) who is golden, and is my favourite Pokemon of all time... the other was a Roselia... which is like the worst Pokemon ever. The Shinx was so exciting because I found it near the start of my game, and he stayed in my party right through the Elite Four, and beyond. He is in my party in Pokemon Black now. | ||

I ended up barely beating the Elite Four with the shiny red Gyarados at only a sliver of health left vs Lance's final Dragonite. The Gyarados was named Jaedong. | ||

I almost always never train Fighting Pokemon. They look ugly as fuck, so whenever I come up against a beefy Normal-type, it's just brute force from me or non-STAB Fighting-type attacks. | ||

Any excuse to post this video is a good excuse. Also love some of the flaws gamefaqs users thought up relating to the game: Day 4268 - Roxanne (Pokemon) - The only first gym leader that can be at a type disadvantage regardless of starter chosen. / Tried to make Nosepass use Hyper Beam. Day 4172 - Morty (Pokemon) - Didn't have the one new ghost pokemon of the region in his party. Day 4171 - Falkner (Pokemon) - "No! my father's precious Pidgey and level 9 Pidgeotto!" Day 4170 - Janine (Pokemon) - The only Kanto gym leader whose pokemon get weaker as you go forward into the game as opposed to higher compared to the previous gym leader, wut. Day 4167 - Bugsy (Pokemon) - He looks so much like a girl that even in-universe people mistake him for one (Gold from Pokemon Special) / LEVEL 14 KAKUNA AND METAPOD? THEY DON'T LEARN ANY MOVES AFTER LEVEL 7. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO LET THEM EVOLVE INTO BEEDRILL AND BUTTERFREE AT LEVEL 10. ARE YOU AND EVERY OTHER BUG CATCHER TRYING TO LOSE THE GAME? Day 4166 - Agatha (Pokemon) - Has the misfortune of being a ghost type specialist in the generation where ghost only deals double damage against itself and all Ghost types are dual typed with poison making them easy targets for the unbalanced Psychic types. Day 4165 - Bruno (Pokemon) - Completely genre blind. In a game where Psychic types were overpowered and every other pokemon could use Surf, his solution was to build a team of Fighting and Rock/Ground types. How did he even qualify to be elite anything with a team that any random 4 year old boy could destroy? Day 4164 - Clair (Pokemon) - Sore loser. Day 3997 - Starter Pokemon (Pokemon) - Fire, poor Fire, recycling that Fire/Fighting combo for 3 generations. At least Grass and Water change it up a bit. / Somehow always at a type disadvantage against your rival. / Fire/Fighting Water/Awesome Grass/Lamestats Day 3908 - Pokeball (Pokemon) - Instead of using the technology to revolutionize transportation/shipping, putting people with terminal illnesses into stasis until a cure has been made, or any number of other uses turning mass into energy may entail, the technology is exclusively used for glorified cockfights./ Three years after its invention, Master Balls still aren't mass-produced. / A + B + DOWN / UP ...but it does nothing Day 2882 - Metagross (Pokemon) - A whoppin' Catch Rate of 3 and what does everyone use it fo-EXPLOSION / To even get one you have to: A: Beat R/S/E, a ~20 hour jRPG, get its discarded arm as a present, import it to whatever you're playing, and evolve the arm. B: Beat D/P/P. Fight its discarded arm that only knows how to do suicide tackles in a desert that constantly inflicts passive damage on your Pokemon. Oh, and it has the lowest existing catch rate, tying with Mewtwo and the other Pokemon near the end of the regional Pokedexes that took a crapton of Pokeballs to catch. And it's completely random whether or not they even start popping up in the desert, and it's only for a IRL day if they do. C: Beat HG/SS, put some specific crap in a specific area of the Safari Zone, wait an IRL month then deal with the catch rate thing but now you can't even weaken its two discarded arms taped together." And the first one is the quickest one. Well, you can trade for a Fortress in HG/SS, but seriously, it's like they want you to go through as much **** as possible. Day 2861 - Eevee (Pokemon) - Does not have a Dragon evolution... yet.... / Forever confusing beginner trainers when they're told to do EV training and come back with a team full of Eeveelutions. Day 2819 - Lt. Surge (Pokemon) - Doesn't wear a flag on his head...in America / Didn't cameo in B&W, even though Unova is based on America / Doesn't have a theme that goes with everything / Didn't go home to be a family man. Day 2751 - Koga (Pokemon) - His invisible walls were no match for the Gameboy Color! http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Fuchsia_City_Gym#Trivia Day 2433 - Unown (Pokemon) - http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/9647/unownkillgarchomp.jpg / There are twenty eight versions of this Pokemon and yet not a single one worth using. Day 2432 - Johto Elite Four (Pokemon) - The Champion of Johto is 12 levels lower than the final Elite Four of Kanto. AND IT'S THE SAME GUY! Day 2335 - Jasmine (Pokemon) - Trained her Steelix to use Sunny Day... HG/SS Special 1 - Lance - Gyarados, Aerodactyl, 3 Dragonite, and a Charizard. IT'S TIME FOR SOME STONE EDGE TARGET PRACTICE! / Has a Level 47 and level 50 Dragonite in Johto, when it evolves at 55. So in the transition from Kanto to Johto, he became a hacker. And made his Pokemon WEAKER as a result (his Dragonite was Level 62 in Kanto). He's either doing it wrong, or this is Nintendo's commentary on hackers. HG/SS Special 2 - Arceus - Is a two-man paradox with Mew. Arceus is a pokemon that supposedly created the universe, yet all pokemon are said to have descended from Mew. HG/SS Special 3 - Johto region - You fight yourself from versions Red/Blue only to realize how much the you from Red/Blue sucks. Day 2187 - Brock's Father (Pokemon) - Couldn't cut it as a Pokemon Trainer so he turned to selling rocks to support his family.../Taught Pikachu how to damage ground Pokemon with electricity. Therefore, his main purpose in the series was to teach kids to cheat. Day 2183 - Celebi (Pokemon) - The rarest damn Pokemon in the game, seriously is there ANY way to get this guy without cheating?/Will be overshadowed by Dialga in terms of being a time traveler FOR ALL TIME Day 1904 - Legendary Birds (Pokemon) - Their names blew millions of minds. / They were stupid and got captured by a guy who collects Pokemon cards. Day 1891 - Magikarp (Pokemon) - "Magikarp, use Hyper Beam! What the **** you mean you don't know Hyper Beam? Well just use a Splash attack!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5-2fkHbCkY) / Because of the sheer survival of it's species despite being the weakest pokemon in existence makes it possible THE example of "Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass". Now if it only would stop hiding... Day 1783 - Professor Oak (Pokemon) - He serves as nothing more than a dumping ground upon which young boys release the contents of their balls / http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=4 / He came when he heard that you beat the Pokemon League (http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/231/107847121108861.jpg) Day 1698 - Kanto Pokemon League (Pokemon) - Elite Four? More like the Elite Four-gotten. / The greatest pokemon masters in the region, beaten by a ten year old from a no-name town who had been training pokemon for a few months. Twice. In a single day. Day 1463 - Ho-Oh (Pokemon) - OT switched in Ho-Oh! Pointed stones dug into Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh lost 50% of it's health / GIANT FLAMING CHICKEN! Day 1462 - Lugia (Pokemon) - Is Psychic and flying when the Psychic part makes almost no sense whatsoever and he learns like 4-5 water moves. / Almost got beat by a guy who collects Pokemon cards. Day 1458 - Scizor (Pokemon) - Tried to finish it off with False Swipe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA8BnqjDB4Y) Day 1210 - Giovanni (Pokemon) - Ground-themed gym without one Pokemon with Earthquake? Lol. Day 1193 - Jigglypuff (Pokemon) - Only knows one song / Lost her awesome green bandana in Brawl. WTF Nintendo?! Sakurai: *laughs* Day 858 - Brock (Pokemon) - He has a Nurse Joy fetish and sounds like Kaiba from Yugioh. Screw the rules, he has green hair / His Onix jobbed to a Pikachu. A thunder Pokemon. Onix is rock/ground... wut. | ||

Oh, and Dragon is also weak against Dragon! :D Did anyone else, in their young and naive state, teach their Pokemon all the variants of a single-type move (ex: Blastoise had to know watergun, bubble, bubblebeam, and hydro pump, just like in the show!)? | ||

I remember being really confused with the introduction of breeding in Gold/Silver--it seemed kind of sick that I could force my Pokemon, who were so near and dear to me, into producing offspring (until I figured out years later that you can breed for moves and moods that effect stats. Totally worth it). Oh, and Dragon is also weak against Dragon! :D Did anyone else, in their young and naive state, teach their Pokemon all the variants of a single-type move (ex: Blastoise had to know watergun, bubble, bubblebeam, and hydro pump, just like in the show!)? I never did that, but I know what you mean about the sentimentality of the game... sometimes I did things or chose Pokemon who were clearly not the strongest choice, but I'd grow an attachment to them. For example; my shiny Luxray in Pokemon Platinum; I EV trained him for Special Attack which is really a bad stat for him but I had this obsession with the Thunderbolt move because back in the day when I played Pokemon Blue I had a Raichu who used Thunderbolt and pwned everything. | ||
