how do we keep shinies but banish the psychopathy of "shiny hunters" from the community? what if shinies were generated based on hardware so each switch could only potentially produce shinies of one or two species and it would be impossible to know unless you run into it organically
>>59170628You want to turn shiny hunters into scalpers that hoard hundreds of switches? What the fuck
People can check the code and figure out what causes it, and use the information they have to put it into a calculator to determine it anyway.
>>59170628You make them more common, like 1 in 50, and take out the silly sparkle animation. Then you add 1-2 more shiny colors for each pokemon so players can really personalize their team better. Now they're not that rare, just a cool alt color scheme. Shiny hunters don't actually care about the shiny pokemon, they care about getting a rare thing, and if it's not hard to get they won't try.
