Oh man, I remember when HG/SS hit I was the first to train an Espeon and breed Morning Sun to a growlithe. Dunno if any of you guy still have those babies. I traded probably 20 to GAFfers. Had Sunny Day / Morning Sun / Flare Blitz / Solarbeam

at least mine did.

Wow... that is pretty much my plan for a perfect Arcanine.

Flare Blitz/Morning Sun/Sunny Day/ Then hadn't decided between Solar Beam or Extreme Speed yet.

I was going with an Adamant nature, and EV training in Attack and Speed.

I don't understand IVs so I was still working things out in that regard.
 
What was everyone's first Shiny?

Platinum_Kairosu_Sprite_Shiny.png


Mine was a Pinsir in HG. Named her Herculine. Been playing religiously since R/B/Y and this was the first shiny I ever encountered.
 
I also saw a green Wingull once. Didn't catch it because I was tired of so many Wingulls and I thought I was simply looking at it weird.

This is my first time following the announcements of a new Pokémon gen, how often do they reveal new Pokémon?

Also, this is more of a question of previous gens, but can you trade normally between Black and Black 2? Or is it more weird stuff that doesn't let you trade with items or HMs?
 
You and I, bros.


First one, outside of Red Gyarados, was a blue Swinub.

Hardy nature, EV trained, she's good and ready for combat. I think I actually won the bug catching contest I caught her in, too. Surprised some douche's Caterpie wasn't judged superior.

You can trade normally.

I have a plan to breed and train the perfect Arcanine. I'll share more details when I get it all flushed out.

I thought Arcanine was everyone's favourite Pokemon.

Nidoking

Despite my penchant for grinding even when I don't have to, my one and only shiny is a Golbat from SoulSilver

(I evolved it of course, but 'twas caught as a Golbat)

My first legit shiny was Tentacool in Emerald, then a Sentret in Leaf Green and finally a Solosis in White.
Did anyone else think they found a shiny when they first saw a female Hippowdon?

Never found a shiny and I finished all pokemon games + got them all in Blue and Sapphire.
Yes, I'm extremely unlucky.
I'm unlucky too (not as much as you are)
I almost completed my Kanto dex in Fire Red (I literally just needed Leaf Green to complete it), seen the credits in all of the pre-Gen 5 games and yet... never encountered a damn wild shiny. :(
 
Why does it feel like a shiny will be 300x more badass in a 3D game btw?

Because now we can see them from all angles and watch their brilliant sparkle trail as they tear enemies to pieces.

I also secretly hope that if you're using a shiny in a wireless battle and the other person has the 3D slider on, the sparkle effect temporarily blinds them.

Red Gyarados is technically a wild shiny.

First one I ever found was a shiny Raticate in Silver.

After that, a shiny Wooper in Pearl. (In the Great Marsh, I was so afraid the game was gonna screw me over)

Then I found a shiny Onix in Heart Gold while training on Mt. Silver. (and hilariously enough, talking to my friend about his crappy luck in finding shinies)

I haven't found one in Gen 5 yet, but I do have a shiny Boldore a player traded me online for some legendary I had an extra of.

I think I had a shiny Ponyta in Gold, but I'm not sure.

If my memory's playing tricks on me, it was Machop in Soul Silver.

My first was this bad boy:

Spr_5b_475_s.png


Well, technically it's still a Ralts. I've just never worked up the courage to train and evolve it yet, out of fear of fucking up its EVs or something. (I know it has a neutral nature, which kind of sucks...)

Also, I don't know if Black 2 or White 2 users are luckier.

Shiny Gible and Shiny Dratini. Not change or change to the worst?
