Let's talk Shinies (Pokemon)

[Mass Distraction]

My first ever shiny was that red Gyarados at Lake of Rage. I thought it was soooo cool back when I was a kid. What? Does not count? Well bah to you too!

Then I guess the first one I ever caught was a shiny Skarmory. I hadn't played Ruby in ages and when I decided to pop it in my GBA and stepped into the grass, BAM, the first thing that appeared was a shiny Skarmory. After that I haven't really seen any, I think.

Which is another thing! In the previous games there was this star after the name of the creature when you were battling it that told you it was a shiny. Now, if you have your volume down and don't look at the pokemon when it appears you might completely miss a shiny! It sucks, man.

I do have a couple of pokemon cards that are shiny, and I don't mean in the holographic way. I have Shining Magikarp and Flareon ☆

First shiny I ever saw was a Scyther in the Battle Tower. ._.

Ooh, a shiny Scyther would be glorious...
