Congrats to Telivisionhead on Tepig, Bonetail on Charmander, Pokemaster13 on Treeko, Pidjiken on Unknown Shiny (maybe a Marill? Can't see the pictures...), Bleu on Electrike, 2rsa on Magikarp and TheMaster327 on Voltorb!
So, to get the conversation rolling again, what was one of your most memorable moments while shiny hunting?
I have a few memorable moments, though I think the most memorable would be getting Cyndaquil in 13 SR's though. I got him 30th December 2009 and I still remember to this day freaking out and frantically texting my boyfriend about it!
Though some other smaller but memorable ones would be the moment I saw my shiny Chikorita and shiny Charmander were both female, getting Chimchar in 11 SR's (a recent one) and getting shiny Shaymin the same day my boyfriend got shiny Registeel.
(A better question is, do you guys name your shinies?)
I do! I always nickname my Pokémon, and shinies are no exception. It makes them more personal to me and thus, more special, rather than just being some rare colored pixels (which they are, but it doesn't feel that way sometimes!).
Also, all my nicknames are in my signature, but because I enjoy making lists I'm going to list them anyways, so feel free to skip or read anyways!
Lucario - Yolk
Drifblim - Starburst
Bidoof - Rhapsody
Zigzagoon - Gizmo
Typhlosion - Plume
Meganium - Hibiscus
Latias - Twinkle
Charmander - Lemon
Shaymin - Gracidea
Golduck - Coral
Infernape - Flare (I might change this one)
I also already have plans to name my shiny Mudkip Muddle, which is a play on Mud + Puddle + my personal head canon that Swamperts are slighty derpy, silly and dumb but lovable and strong too
I already used this name with my Nuzlocke Mudkip, but I love it so much I'm reusing it with no shame.
Anyways! Sorry this post is a bit long, luckily my update is short. I'm nearly at 270 eggs for Mudkip (I got distracted by a new game, oops) and once I hatch 300 eggs I'm going to move back to Virbank Complex for at least another 2000-3000 RE, unless I find a shiny before that, and then come back to eggs. I'll also go back to Snivy as well when I reach 300 eggs, since RE and SR at the same time is fairly easy as long as I have youtube videos and nothing else to occupy my hands
So good luck everyone, and don't lose hope!
Edit: Also congrats JAWAYami and Marvs!
