Old Pokemon General(RIP)

[Silversea]

Half of my shinies were lost with my Pokemon Diamond ;_;. I lost a zubat, crobat, weedle and a couple of others I forgot about.

I currently have 2 absols, 2 vulpix and a vaporeon. I've caught the first 4 myself and saw the vaporeon being bred, so I'll freak out if the new X and Y system says they are fake.

I also have 2 palkias and 2 dialgas from the event distribution.

I've only ever gotten one shiny, which was a total accident. I was playing Pearl randomly at like 2am ish and I didn't expect anything to happen, but I randomly got a shiny Shinx! I had no intentions of using a Shinx but finding it right outside Jubilee City early in the game convinced me enough to use it. I would've kept it and used in a proper, EV-trained team but I suck at EV training properly so there would've been no point, may as well have used the little guy right?
(He was also one of my best team members, that shiny Luxray. C: )

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

My fave Pokemon is Luxray. I've had one on every playthrough of Platinum.

 

[Sheepish]

I managed to get my only two shinies from Johto; I caught a Raticate in Crystal, and a Swinub in HeartGold. The latter was particularly great, since I was looking for a Swinub to use in my team. Shiny Swinub kind of looks cute and minty fresh. Shiny Mamoswine, not so much, haha.

Unfortunately, I've since lost my HG cart, so I can't bring good ol' Gumshoe with me.

 

[oath2order]

I never got one

Will Pokemon Bank prevent me from transferring my shiny Dragonite that my old best friend used an action replay to get before ending our friendship?

It's kinda special to me..

I'm guessing it would depend on how he came across the shiny Dragonite. If it was a make all wild encounters shiny code and then he found a wild Dragonite(/line) then it should be fine. If he used codes to make a Dragonite he already had shiny / make all wild pokemon shiny Dragonites then it's likely it won't be transferable as some of the data won't match up to a legit Dragonite.

But I guess you won't know for sure until it we get Pokemon bank. ~ Though if you check where the Dragonite was caught/OT etc and all that info is correct and could be possible for wildly obtained Dragonites then it should be okay.

 

[Stevey Queen]

He used the shiny code and caught a dratini. Then he used an exp. point cheat and trained it to lv.100 and gave it to me because he didn't like how shiny Dragonites looked.

So it should be alright, that's the sort of thing the hack check website thing I used to use to check for legit trades wouldn't have picked up on. Though that wasn't ran by Nintendo, so it depends on what they use to check legitimacy. But considering how terrible the GTS is at recognising a hacked pokemon I'm pretty sure you'll be fine. ~ Though that might be a way for you to check, can you put it up in the GTS?

 

[Unidentified Floor Orange]

The only shiny I've encountered was a Noctowl in either Gold or Silver, can't remember which, it was so long ago. It wouldn't go in any of the Pokeballs, and I thought Ash's shiny Noctowl was so cool, so I was more than a little frustrated ;_;

 

[Silversea]

I thought that there weren't any shinies in gold and silver? Crystal introduced those I believe.

Unless you mean heartgold/soulsilver.

I caught a whole slew in Diamond one day. Near Snowpoint, I found like 5 in a matter of 20 minutes (what the heck are the odds of that?), but none of them were all that good, so I didn't care for them. I got a shiny Lillipup at the end of the game in White, so I had no use for it, given that I had a really good Stoutland already.

No shinies were intoduced in gen 2, Silver/Gold.

Don't you remember the red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage?

 

[kite]

Bulbapedia says they were introduced in G/S.

(Honestly I never encountered one until I found a shiny Zigzagoon in Ruby)

Back when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl were the newest games, I caught a shiny Gastrodon (the blue one). But its color was so similar to the original that when my friends compared them, they were skeptical lol. I had to point out that red star when we looked at the Gastrodon's stats.

Slightly different shading between shiny and original Pokemon kill the potential to look good in an alternative color. D:

 

[Jake]

shinies i've gotten are shiny geodude in crystal and shiny sandshrew and zangoose in ruby.


ALSO RED GYARADOS LELELELELELELELELELLELELELELELE

 

[oath2order]

I want a shiny Rayquaza.

 

[Silversea]

Shiny rayquaza is totally overrrrated. Its all people ever talk about XD.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Shiny pokemon in general are overrated. lol

 

[Jake]

I want a shiny Rayquaza.
