Can we finally stop pretending shiny pokemon mean something anymore? After gen 5 they've been easier and easier to obtain, and I thoguht they hit the bottom of the barrel with the sandwich bullshit. But now you can just fucking go to sleep and get 10 shiny un-despawnable shinies just waiting for you. Fuck this shit honestly

they were never worth anything

Never bought into shiny bullshit
Too autistic and efficient minded to care
I would give away all the shinies I hatched while breeding for good IVs
>>
Yeah we need to go back to Gen 2 where you can get up to a 1/64 chance with breeding. Rates are too high these days.

I accidentally tripped over this stupid faggot on top of a building and now I have to live knowing that he is my first shiny of the game.
>>
Most shinies are uglier than the original and it was always hypocritical for Pokemon fans to shit on recolors in other RPGs while obsessing so much over shinies.
>>
>>58431723
any shiny you go out of your way for is effectively meaningless
for a shiny to be meaningful it must be one you find entirely unexpectedly
afk farming or savescumming for one defeats the entire point of them being rare
>>
Ya'll gotta chill.

Shiny Pokemon never mattered, it's just a flair to accent an oddity. Even in the original games you had people using gamesharks to produce infinite shinies of any kind, at any point.

None of it has value. None of it has worth. The only thing the shiny is, is a trophy of your time spent doing whatever you did to achieve it. Be happy with that, or perish.

>if I try to look for a ladder, it'll likely despawn
Am I fucked?
>>
>>58432957
The game will save up to 10 shinies for you that will never despawn unless you KO them. Just make sure you do a save because sometimes the day transitions can mess with it

Thanks for the tip, I managed to find a holoport up to the roof, and snuck up on it to whip a ball at it. I was scared it was gonna fly away, but I'm glad the Nest Ball landed first thing.

yeah they're easier to get but I feel like its not going to make a difference to most people regardless.

>Can we finally stop pretending shiny pokemon mean something anymore?
obviously after they cut the rarity in half thats the first big "loss" in value, but Gen 6/7 are mostly pretty fair about shinies (save for the wormholes)
It only got brainless in the switch generation, not sure why, I guess they just saw how much the scene blew up and figured they'd pander to youtubers who want to make easy content?
>>
>>58431723
Shiny hunter autists don't care about the actual shinies just autistically hunting them they never had any value to begin with

I ended up keeping mine on the party for the whole game, its run animation is so silly it really grew on me

Its just 1 area with a limited selection of mons so far, don't think there's other areas with an easy reset

Why he running like that haha fuck, look at him go.

I will never forget my first shiny in crystal
not bullshit, no gimmicks. Just honest an1/8192 occurrence

And I never encountered another shiny again until gen 6 with that horde shit where it doesn't count.

So I ran into this thing while at X rank, and now I'm dedicating myself to catching it, Level 42. Will it eventually go in if I keep whipping Ultra Balls at it, or is there like a thing keeping me from catching high-level Pokemon until I'm a certain rank?
>>
>>58431729
this, I don't understand the appeal
Shinies are cool once in a while but obsessively looking for them is just unfun
>>
>>58435196
I think the chevrons are a reliable indicator, I don't think there's any hard wall.
>>
>>58432942
Figures it's all ones I already caught...
>>
>>58431723
I got tired on shinies as a kid right after I got my first full odds one, it was cool for like a day or two then it hit me that it's nothing special specially if you purposefully try to look for them
>>
>>58431723
>After gen 5
stop trying to fit in unovafag.

Fuck I love him, thank you for making him your bro anon

It "got brainless" because you're not forced into meeting ONLY one cunt at a time, you dense fucker. Constantly rolling critters and walking past them means you're seeing FAR more pokés than even a sped-up emulator lets you encounter them, so OF COURSE that equates to "finding more shinies" especially when the game has a section in its code specifically to store appeared shinies that haven't been interacted with.
>>58435202
There's people who are so "invested" with pretending to be Ash Ketchum, they EXCLUSIVELY play unofficial singles 6v6 on a rip-off battle simulator and you think shiny hunting's "unfun"? Well Ash, how goes the Masters 8?
>>
>>58431723
It's just in this one area.
>>
Is it true they exist forever until you directly deal with them? I got the sound effect somewhere days ago and couldn't find anything, after hearing people say that I went back there and can't get the sound to trigger again
>>
>>58435939
The game stores 10 of them at a time. Unless it's a Pokemon that runs away, you're good. If it was an Abra, sucks to suck.

How far is the shiny jingle? I'm trying to farm for a shiny riolu and was wondering if I could hear the shiny jingle from this wall.
>>
I miss PLA hunting. They were more common, but you can actually die out in the field and miss them that way. ZA has you checking tiny parks and just hearing the sound 5 steps in. In PLA you'll be flying and don't know where it came from and have to search.
>>
>>58437664
>you'll be flying and don't know where it came from and have to search.
the same shit happens here
twice I have heard the shiny sound and didn't know where it came from because they could either be on a rooftop or on the other side of a building
>>
>>58437681
>the same shit happens here
Fair enough. Knowing it'll just stay there unless you deliberately leave it for hours lessens the weight of finding it quickly too though.
>>
>>58437712
I don't think that's a bad thing in this game because of the day and night mechanic since there's no way to stop it
