    I just like the ones that look, well, good. A shiny Scizor is bright green and I think that looks very cool.

    Anyone else looking forward to the day/night cycle as much as I am? That was one of my favorite features of Gold/Silver. Whatever happened to the Pokemon from G/S that never made it to a GBA game?

    Haha, pink Sneasels.

    The only shinies I ever saw were in the Safari.

    They all made it to the GBA games in one way or another, except for some event pokemon that might as well have not existed at all. Some had to be transfered from the gamecube spinoff games.

    Oh man, I totally want a pink sneasel. Better yet if it was male.

    The only Shiny pokemon I've ever caught or seen was the red gyrados G/S.

    Interestingly a Shiny garchomp looks exactly like a regular Garchomp.

    I had a shiny Tentacool once. I caught a shiny Hariyama and a shiny Wurmple, which evolved into a Dustox. Then my friend restarted it and I forgot about them. But he got a shiny Linoone and Oddish.

    Why should you hate yourself for it?

    cuz i dont have an awesome t-rex as my picture, that's why/ lol cuz i never get anything cool on the pokemon games, i might resort to hacking when the new ones come out. (not really) but tentacool is a huuuge loser in my book. i want a shiny Electrike or something! lol

    Tentacruel is a pretty good Pokemon. I wouldn't complain if I caught a shiny one.

    Also, Rapidash has one of the coolest shinies in the game. Phantom Horse!!

    But I saw none yet other than that :( It could be worse though imagine if you saw one before you can get pokeballs in the game.... now that would suck.

    Seriously in the game it takes ages before it is any useful, it's first attack that does noticeable damage is acid and it's first water attack arrives way too late, but it afterwards it is awesome.

    It has gynormous special defense and it is really fast, got an interesting typing (not owned by grass and water covers the poison resistent stuff). It is actually my main water pokemon during the current Ruby game.

    Well I can get you any non-legendary pokemon with Pokerus and a good nature and decent stats. I also have a spare Jirachi and Zapdos and probably others. Most legendaries I'm not willing to part with.

    oh don't get me wrong, he's good and all, but he's my least favorite as far as coolness goes. i mean think about it.. "OOO I am a big scary jellyfish! you poke at me when i am dead on the beach and rub my tentacles on yourself because you are retarded! fear me!" i hate jellyfish...

    Deal! I'll trade you a Jirachi for your shiny tentacool when D/P comes out and we're able to transfer stuff. In the meantime, please don't battle will the tentacool because I don't want it gaining any unnecessary EVs.

    edit: Pokerus doubles EVs gained in battle making EV training take about five minutes.

    EVs are "effort values".

    Every time you defeat a pokemon in battle, your pokemon gains an EV in a certain stat. At level 100, four EVs in a stat is +1 in that stat. You can get a total of 510 EVs with a max of 255 in each stat. By controlling what pokemon you fight, you can increase your stats a certain way. For example, if you want a fast pokemon, fight lots of zubats and zigzagoons.

    edit: I mean 4. 4 EVs = +1, not 6. Oops.

    ahhhh. ok, well you are in luck cuz I havent even touched him yet! You reminded me of something. i watched a review for pokemon on gt and it related it to rock paper scissors... THAT TICKS ME OFF SO MUCH!!! There's way more to it than that!

    edit: also, i was wondering what version you plan on getting. cuz i wanted this trade to be a friendly invite to switching pokemon with each other that you can only get in one of the versions. that sounds alright if we get different versions right? i am not looking for a handout, just a trading buddy...

    One every 100 wild pokemons? Uh...no thanks. You will battle more than 10,000 wild pokemons in your main quest to Elite Four. Getting so many shiny pokemons in a normal playthrough kills all pride of catching one. Might as well have a 50% chance, and be like gender.

    1/8192 is not very high, but I would complain more about the rarity loss than enjoy that I have more, if it was raised. It's fine as it is.

    ok heres an idea then. how about one area in the whole game like that after you beat elite four where you can catch 50 different pokemon and every 1/100 was a shiny? the 50 pokemon wouldnt be exclusive to the area either. that seems fair doesnt it??

    I wish they gave a hold item like they did for Pikachu and Marowak for all those early bugs with horrid stats to get the more in line with the later pokemon. Now the only thing they might be useful is breeding or maybe the first 1/8 of the game if that :(
