Shinies ain't don't mean no nothing no more.
Well duh. That's why they created stuff like Alphas and made Apricorn Balls extremely hard to get so getting Shiny Alphas in rare Pokeballs as the true flex
Gen 6 pre-bank was the one and only time shinies had value
>>58545403I just get the ones I like the colors of. That's all the value they ever had and that hasn't changed.
>>58545425Factocaust...
bro fucking gen 2 had a free shiny how is this any different
>>58545483
>>58545483Mareep is actually cool. Nobody wants a free shiny if it's a shitmon from KANTOOOOOO.
>>58545403They never have if you weren't a lucklet. It's gotten to the point where I'm even getting shinies from Gen 1 (after transferring them to Gen 2/viewing them through Stadium 2) including the Pikachu you get as a starter in Yellow.
>>58545483>1 free shiny as an introduction to the addition, one most people inherently devalue anywayVs>multiple games of relatively high shiny encounter rates, allowing many players to find multiple shiny pokemon in even casual playthroughsPersonally in every game since XY, I've found at least one shiny minimum each play. I dont shiny hunt either.Clearly these are two very different situations, disingenuous-kun. But how valuable shinies are is down to what (You) personally think, same for everyone.
>>58545657okay but op didn't say that the only context they gave for their post was a screenshot of a free shiny
>>58545439truthnukeshinies are and will always be just cosmetic variations
>>58545403Who cares?>noooooo muh palette swap variant with no other benefits was supposed to be super duper rare wahhhhhhhh why don't I have to spend hours hunting for one?
Even with its value lost it's still a neat alt colour to go try hunt for. There'll always be a reason to get Shinies.
I don't even think I could list 10 shinies I think look good. A lot of them got fucked during the transition from sprites to 3D.
>>58545403No it's more like you aren't waiting seconds for loading battles, animation for sending out pokemon (and in pre gen 5 had to wait for the pokemon's send out animation) now you're encountering pokemon at a much higher rate than previous titles, naturally you are going to have a higher chance of finding a shiny. Iirc the odds have been tweaked to be a bit more generous? But they're still the same odds. I just spent like 6 hours shiny hunting Dratini with a shiny charm using the afk bench method. You're either lucky or you're not
>>58545861Base odds are twice what they were in 1-5. ZA charm adds an additional roll compared to previous charms.
>>58545403They were never worth anything. Being able to force an encounter or hatch an egg meant you could eventually get any shiny you wanted with enough time spent.
>>58545898The ZA charm is an absolute slog to obtain and the game has no other means to boost shiny rates.
>>58545403They’re fictional characters.
>>58545403Nigga, that was a thing since gen3Fuck, you can argue gen2 with the shiny Ditto glitch
>>58545951Even without the shiny Ditto, the red Gyarados was always male, and with some effort you could pass its shininess to all but 3 egg groups.
the shiny mareep is supposed to be garanteed? I have been delaying that quest because I thought I'd need the shiny charm
>>58545977Its guaranteed and the other mareep in the area are shiny locked until you do it
>>58545982shit I never even explored that area that much. thanks
>>58545483Stop pointing things out and shitting on my narrative.
it's really unlikely that anybody who played scarvio doesn't already have 3 of these nigga they are so common to begin with.
>>58545403The last time they had anything close to value was gen 2, when their shiny chance was tied to stats. After that, they were pure cosmetic recolors.
>>58545425People used to trade action replay shiny legendaries all the time on GTS back in Gen 5 I remember.
