    I remember the first time I played Crystal. I knew the Red Gyardos was always shiny and had the sparkles. The first time Suicune appeared it did the same thing. My 7 year old mind assumed it was the same and was always sparkly. So I didn't bother to keep that Suicune when I made a new game. Didn't realise what I lost for a while....

    Nice video! My sickest capture was on emerald. I had used up my masterball on Latias (not shiny) and was capturing and resetting kyogre cause I wanted a good nature on it. It was rough cause it had rest and double edge making it really difficult to capture it because of crits and recoil damage. I was about 20 encounters in with only being able to capture him on half my encounters when suddenly a pink kyogre showed up. It was the most nerve wracking time of my life, but after a long battle with crossing my fingers to avoid crits or 7 double edges in a row I managed to capture him, I was so happy, exhausted and relieved u have no idea :)

But long story short I only had moves that would take forever to kill or kill instantly and these things were barraging me with Sand Attacks. So with a sigh, I used Bubble and watched all of them faint.
    It's been six years and I've found and caught shinies but I still want a gold Nincada. Unfortunately I don't have Omega Ruby cartridge (or the time) to Sweet Scent for hordes. Maybe one day.

    I remember my first hunt. I was still relatively new to the franchise, and walking through the Alola region and knew little about the game. Then I ran into a cute little doggo, I immediately knew what to do. I heard about a new way to hunt, called SOS chaining, so continued the game to try and get an Adrenaline Orb. I found the orb, and immediately went back to hunt the blue doggo. It was a really fast hunt, over in about 100 encounters, and thus was my first hunt. A few years later I’m going for hunt after hunt, working towards that incredible end goal of a full shiny living dex.

    Funny side note, didn't know about shiny's until just before sun and moon released, so that was revolutionary 😂 however, only truly shiny hunted once for a feebas, because shiny milotic. I also probably won't again as I'm sure my luck went out permanently after a first encounter shiny zapdos. (Nowhere near as impressive as it was on let's go pickachu 😂)

    It probably would have been a good idea to bring along timer balls as well. In Gen 3 they start being better than ultra balls after turn 10 with a maximum catch rate of *4 at turn 30. They also cost less than Ultra Balls too.
    Congrats on finding and catching the Tendies though!

    my first shiny was a fever dream it was on SS and I was battling the electrodes int the secret rocket hideout and on my 3rd electrode it was a shiny and it took 5 minutes to process what happened, I caught it and I still have it to this day as i made sure I could transfer it when I needed to just so I could keep it. It was especially cool as it reminded me of the way the pokeballs were in gen 2 on GBC and it felt nostalgic for some reason. I always think back to that exact moment when I find a shiny and was the reason, I always strive to get at least one shiny per generation to pay respect to my first shiny encounter i ran into by accident. Also I named him Dynamo because i was a kid that was obsessed with technology at the time.

    This seems like a pretty good video for this story, my first ever shiny Pokemon was a legendary and I don’t even think I knew what they were at the time. On one of my early play throughs of Ruby (probably somewhere around 2007-2008 so I was like 8 or 9) I went to go catch Groudon to progress the game, so I saved in front of him first per usual prior to the battle, however, I was under equipped on balls at the time so it took me multiple trys to catch him. Well, after a few failed attempts I tried again obviously only to find a golden Groudon in front of me rather than the normal red one I expected. I was pretty stocked to actually be able to catch him that time of course. I moved him to gen 4 eventually so he should still be there just left behind (I pretty much only played the gen 3 and 4 games as a kid, although now Im into gen 8 lol)
