RE: Your very first shiny!
oh, the ever so cherished shiny pokemon... I remember when i restarted my pearl game cause i got really bored or it (700+ hours on it ) Started out with my man Piplup... i'll never forget that day... before i even got to sandgem town (i think thats what the first city other than your home town is called) i was walking around in the grass and there it was... a shiny Starly!!! i always catch the first birdy pokemon early on so i can teach it Fly later and this one was shiny?!?!?! but my dreams were crushed because i just started the game... and had no pokeballs!!! they werent given to me yet like they always have been. i stayed there staring at the screen for a good half hour or so. i decided to kill the Starly TT-TT and i never found another shiny ever again in that game. however my cousin bought Platinum and beat the game. she was just screwing around and ran into a shiny Chatot. mind blown, i told her to let me handle catching it, but her stupid pokemon did a critcal hit and KO'ed it!!! TT-TT oh well, she was never that into the game anyway and she just carried on with the game. but now its all about black and white. i transferred over a hacked shiny mew with its ability synchronize and adamant nature. i was simply searching for some ferroseeds to train when out of no where a shiny Klink!!! this time i knew i was gonna catch it cause i taught my mew false swipe and thunder wave specificly for catching legendary and/or shiny pokemon i may encounter (i also transferred a mew with modest nature for those special attackers i wanna catch ex: Reshiram). i caught the damn klink and was amazed i even encountered one! then i forgot about it cause klink, klang, and klingklang are useless to me there you go, the only shiny pokemon i ever successfuly caught legitly lol
