Shinies! They're super rare, you may not get one without RNG abuse or pokeradar no matter how you try (unlike event, where you can go to gamestop and download it..). Each person has a special connection to the shiny pokemon they get. I've had two shinies.. BOTH were zubats. One on platinum, one on emerald. The one on platinum has epic ivs and is jolly.. I caught him when I said, "You know, maybe there's an item I forgot to get at the tower." On my way out, I found him! The one on emerald? In that cave, by the econd gym. Right after I caught zubat, I saved. Right after that, the game froze. When I turned it back on.. "Your save file is corrupted." And I lost everything. NOO!!
With events, I have this- I went to gamestop, asked them for the event, and then left....
*and I'm crossing my fingers for a shiny in b&w.. I've had a 2 gen streak going! I just hope its not zubat.*
