Because you have to be autistic to care about shiny Pokémon.

shiny pokemon lost all appeal to me when they doubled the base odds and added a million methods to increase them further
the hunt doesnt feel fulfilling anymore

Is....is it because it BLACK with BLOOD RED WINGS??? As in it looks like an evil CHARIZARD which is really COOL as if it's about to go berserk with it's awesome power at any time but holds back because it doesn't want to hurt its trainer who accepted it despite it being shunned by even champions for being too powerful??? Oh I DEFINITELY noticed this!!

to be fair, shiny pokemon were never truly "worth" anything in a material sense, but for me shiny hunting was always about the journey
hanging out with friends and watching a show, heading outside and going places while hunting, sharing the experience with someone else
and even when you're not hunting, the sheer rarity of shinies at full odds from gens 2-5 makes them super exciting and memorable to encounter
every shiny i have pre-gen 6 has memories behind it, meanwhile i dont even remember finding the majority of the shinies i have in nu-pokemon
it saddens me how trivial shinies have become

anyone caught up in the "value" of shinies as if they're some kind of currency is obviously retarded as fuck.
I agree with the rest of what you say, the adrenaline hit of getting one in the old gens has never subsided for me, and I've got over 20 of them now. They were the perfect blend of the journey and the destination in a way that cant be replaced by mark hunting or other shit.

>>58259046
It’s ACTUALLY because shiny Charizard has a pure white underbody meaning he has a BWC and is therefore the white man’s patrician european dragon choice
>>
>>58257310
Why wouldn't they be? Pokemon is already up there with Sonic and literally any Nintendo franchise as the community with the largest and most prolific autists.
When you have so many it's only natural you have autistic sub-communities within.

idk why there arent shades of colors for pokemon yet. like there really arent any yellow or red charizards? no albinos? no old pale ones? no pink ones? its just weird.
>>
>>58259847
Probably the same reason they made shiny locks, i don't know it's official but i heard the argument was that when 2 kids play the game they want them to have the same experience and not have the other kid think something is wrong with their different colored pokemon.

I hate how the Bulbasaur line consists of the only grass starter shinies that I enjoy. The rest are either godawful or just not interesting enough.
>Chikorita
Alright, but only a slight difference no shiny hunter worth their salt would bother with.
>Treecko
Why the fuck are they blue? Sceptile is NOT Feraligatr, Masooda.
>Turtwig
Confusing teal with diarrhea green elements, I don't like it
>Snivy
Again, why are they all blue? Serperior is alright I guess, but blue on a grassmon either way is silly
>Chespin
Probably the ones I have the least of a gripe with. Autumnal colors are fine, but there's still too much RED for a GRASS TYPE POKEMON

Not too blue because they look like water types I guess, but not too red, because then the look like fire types I guess, but not too green either because then it looks too similar
Anon, do you even know what you want?

They could put the odds at 1/8192 and drop all methods and they'd still be worthless because of Pokemon Go

Go for the Dragonite at Dragonspiral Tower, you can get it up to a 20% encounter with pass powers

Pokemon Go is what has really ruined shiny pokemon.
Shiny locks may have started in gen 5, but they are now used in order sell GO resources.
We aren't getting Shiny paradox trios, or Terapogos, or the Loyal 3, etc
But Pokemon GO will, fucking mobile slop.

>>58257310
I think the fist legit shiny I got was from xy Charmander from the professor
>>
>>58261716
That's really lucky.
I mm'd my first pentaperfect shiny Charmander for like a month. At the time I didn't have the charm so the odds were still above 1k.

>the L: A game didn't begin rollling for outbreaks until players had progressed far enough into the story as to aquire Wyrdeer and establish the 2nd Galaxty expedition camp in the Obsidian Fieldlands
So given L: Z-A's tied to Z-A Royale, that'll likely start spewing out outbreaks after rising to a particular rank in-game.

I never got into hunting until gen 9 funnily enough
Being able to see the fuckers and having your lead auto-KO the junk makes all the difference

outbreaks would be really strange in a city though, I mean what? An outbreak of Fenniken show up in the park downtown?

thats how it starts, i only got into it with Sun & Moon and now fast forward and I'm dual hunting on GBAs

Shiny Charizard is white coded. His black scales are similar to black hair and his belly skin is actually skin. Cope.
>>
>>58262559
No different to a shitload of migratory birds passing through on their way to winter in africa. And as I'm well versed in seeing the fuckers swarm every autumn and know Paris/France is in the flightpath, can easily point to a real-world justification for it happening in-game.

>retard was too poor to even emulate L: A
Outbreaks happened regardless when you established camp #2, in-game as part of the experience (they even had an NPC hint shiny pokémon were more common from outbreak rolls). They were also even easier to manipulate as if you saved on the map, then left and returned, the OB would persist, but the game would re-roll shiny chance.
>>
>>58259052
this is a good way to think about it, although you also don't win any money

6 million KOs and not one less. Don’t you dare go through the court cases wherein no one stated the bodies would’ve turned pink consistent with the usage of the alleged chemical. Don’t do it!!!!
