Question Shiny or not Shiny that is the Question

Hola compadres y mamasitas it's GoldndSilver7

I was think of something when I was driving to Connecticut this weekend. "Do I really like shinys"

I thought it over and sadly no I do not. I find that some of them look like they have a terminal illness when they are shiny. I find Legendary shinys real dumb also. I mean legendary cant lay eggs so they can not have a shiny off spring.

The only shiny I do like is the Red Gyarados.

I want your opinion do you like shinys?

Thanks

Adios

I like shinies because some of them look far cooler than their regular colors. For example, shiny Vileplume, Feraligatr, Tangrowth, Weezing, Mismagius, and Skarmory all look MUCH cooler in their shiny forms. Plus having a shiny gives you bragging rights. ;O

I like some shines(Shiny Pichu, Shiny Garyados, Shiny Umbreon), some I don't like(Shiny Magmorator, Shiny Raichu, Shiny Garchomp) and others are just.... weird... (I'm looking at you, Shiny Garintina >:l). All in all, shines have good points, bad points, and just weird points!

I prefer the shinies for bragging rights . Also, having a shiny doesn't boost the chances of shiny offspring. It's still 1/8000 something.

But if you breed Pokemon from different regions of games (like a Male Japanese Alakazam and a Female American Alakazam) then the chances go to 1 in 2000. Still takes a while, but its a lot easier.

I like shinies, just because they're rare.

I don't really care that much for shinies since it's a low chance to get one, and I usually never find one.. But If I do have one, I'll even go to switching my team around to fit them in.

Aside from Gyarados

Good point.
Another point is there are some cool looking shinys in Pokemon. One of my personal favorites (everybody who was on this site before March should know) is shiny Breloom.


If you look at the shiny sprites to some of the Pokemon, they look really cool *COUGH*shiny Roserade*COUGH*


And also, I did find a shiny Golbat once... now it's a lv 100 shiny Crobat.

In all my Pokemon playing days I have only encountered 1 shiny. A Natu. I ran outta Pokeballs 8(.
Someone traded me a shiny Metagross for a hardly EV'd Drapion, but I don't really use it because I didn't catch it. I know your probaly thinking. OMG HES INSANE, but I just dont.

But yeah I love shinies.

I like a very few of them - the ones which look better when they are shiny. Otherwise, I do not care about shiny Pokémon besides bragging about them.

I like some shinies. Some just look better in their natural color, like Sableye. others look better in their shiny color, like Mawile. Some have bad shiny colors, like Honchkrow. And some barely even change, like Garchomp.

I has Shiny Geodude in Platinum, Shiny Bellsprout, Pikachu (Event Pichu evolved) and Gyarados in HG

And before you ask, the event Pichu was NOT Spiky-ear Pichu. I'm talking about the one you get in Plat. then transfer to HG and get a Spiky-ear Pichu.

I have never found a shiny randomly, in the grass/caves (oh I've tried, and grown 20 or so levels), even with the 1/2000(after 3+ boxes of eggs, too), and using the pokeradar(Chained to 36 or so). Keeps me from gambling.

My friend played platinum, first pokemon game ever, found a shiny after just 3 hours, a machop in a cave.

I owned a shiny Bellossom once, but it was hacked, so I traded it away. Not a big fan of hacked shinies, they kind of lose all value.

That or RNG abused shinies because you know it will be shiny, it loses the fun of getting a shiny.

Shinies give you bragging rights. End of.

Only if it isn't hacked, RNG abused, or you don't tell people it's RNG abused.

I don't have a problem with shinys. They have the ability to expose hackers easily. If there's a team of shinnies or legendary shinnies, odds are that it's a hack. If you see a shiny pidgey or something, you can be pretty sure it's real, since they're so common in the game.

I don't care much for shinies. They really don't affect anything exept for appearance. They are cool, though

Had shinies not existed then a certain coolness aspect wouldn't have been in the games.

I love shiny pokemons.
But I'm not lucky.
I have so far 2 shinies.
The Red Gyrados doesn't really count because everyone can get it.

Having shinies is awsome and I totally love how they sparkle when they come out of the ball.

Although having shinies like Garchomp that look just like there original is just pointless.
