My Pokemon platinum is possessed
Currently it is in the bin, chained pinsir for 41...around 50 max repels later, no shiny and I accidently broke the chain, of course the game wanted me to do this since its an evil piece of ****. Im goning back to SS, if I can be ***ed

Many people chained a certain Pokémon for like 200+ times, yet they never encountered any shiny one. That didn't mean they had to give up or throw their games away.
The point is, you need a lot of patience to stumble upon a shiny Pokémon. |
I really, REALLY hope you know the average odds of finding a shiny... a little over 8,000.
Just because you didn't find a shiny doesn't mean throw your perfectly good game away. I love shinies and yet I only have found one in all of my games (besides red Gyrados). |
^
Anyway, if you want a shiny, breeding foreign pokemon is the best way to do it. |
Uhh... You two do know that Pokéradar Chaining makes shinies a lot more common? After a chain of 40 or so, finding one isn't hard. Though I've never chained anything higher than 20-ish...
NOW GET THAT GAME OUTTA THE BIN! |
Well, chaining also brings down the chance of finding one, but that's besides the point. This does seem frustrating, but I wouldn't go as far to say it's possessed. That honor is reserved for games that glitch out unexpectedly and have creepy music when they do. Anyway, I've never really tried chaining for a shiny before, but any shiny will definitely take much time to get.

I chained Roselia once till 12 and then I got a shiny Pikachu! xD
I then chained a Pikachu till 9, and then a shiny Staravia appeared and was caught! I guess I am just too lucky. xD |
I once chained about 500 electubuzz got a shiney and it was 4 in the morning and i was exhausted and I shut my game off without saving. when I noticed I forgot to save I wanted to chuck my game across the room.

^That deserves an Epic Fail.

lol sorry about my eariler post, I took it out the bin... still annoyed though.
For those of you who dont know, once chained to 40, the shiny ratio is approximately 1/200 for all 4 patches, making it much easier to get multiple shiny pokemon, but for me...this didn't work. I was only joking about it being possessed, its just that I have never got a shiny pokemon by chaining before despite it being claimed to be easy... every single time I try, something like this happens. The reason I was so annoyed this time is that I finally reached 40 in a chain, and about after 100 pokerader resets with a chance of 4x 1/200 of getting a shiny, I still didn't get one...wasting the 3+ hours I spent chaining Dont know, if I can really be bothered to shiny hunt anymore now :( |
Don't hunt for shinies, it's a waste of time. What I do i go through the game a flip the ***k out if a shiny appears.
|
Hunting for shinies is a lot of fun! You shouldn't stop, and chaining is a lot less boring than Masuda method. And don't worry a bit, since I found a shiny Psyduck at a chain of 19, so just keep trying!
|
Your lucky you got past 50 I've never even made past 20
|
I've made it to 34, hunting for shiny minun. Never got it though.
|
I made it to 40 Shinx, it didn't work.
|
By all means don't throw it in the trash! Send it to meeee. XD
|
Do you realize how rare a shiny is (or another Pinsir after so many) even then? That and shiny hunting isn't the only use for a Pokemon game.
By the way: 700th post in this board WOOT |
A shiny is a 1/200 chance if you are using the PokéRadar.
