• Hi all
    Just a notice, we recently discovered that someone got into a moderator account and started hard deleting a load of key and legacy threads...around 150 threads have been lost dating back to 2007 and some weeks ago so we can't roll the forums back.
    Luckily no personal data could be accessed by this moderator, and we've altered the permissions so hard deleting isn't possible in the future
    Sorry for any inconvenience with this and sorry for any lost posts.

LoneStarArika, I'm not talking about decrease in shiny odds in Gen V.

Sorry, I was meaning new games as in HGSS as well as BW. Not just directed at you; some people on the discussion threads are going on about BW having better chances and whatnot as well (and the same happened when HGSS first came out). I see what you mean about your logic, though. Obviously you're going to have a better chance at finding a shiny if you do more encounters/resets. It just doesn't change the actual odds.

Shiny Circuit time!
Man, I'm seeing a lot of new shinies. Congrats to everyone, especially Helio. It's nice to see another starter besides tsutarja! :)

Anyways, nothing new from me. I've been focusing most (if not all) of my hunting time on Tyrogue, but the little brat just isn't wearing those blue shorts! XD Hopefully it shines soon!

P.S.
I'm trying to set a long (and I mean LONG) term goal for myself, and I've been fiddling with the idea of going for all the shiny flying types! Anyone else like to give me an idea? (there are a lot of flying pokemon...)

That's fine, thanks for understanding my thinking too. Yeah, personally, I'd hate higher shiny odds. It'd make them less
Special. It I'd like people are just clutching at straws for more shinies.

ARGHH I missed the mailman today by one hour according to the delivery slip he left on my door. Now it says my parcel will be available for pick up on MONDAY. Monday monday?! What the hell! I don't get why I can't pick it up tomorrow. I am so mad. I could've been playing White already. #!%@#^%! >:[

Oh man, I feel your pain. If I hadn't ordered Black express Post, I'd still be waiting for White. Not only is air economy slow but our local post office cuts the speed by half. But the game is worth the wait :) no sweat.

I didn't SR for a shiny starter or Victini since I'm saving that for when I get White but I am hunting for a shiny Desumasu while trying to evolve my Purotooga. No luck in shinies but I'm very optimistic.

Congratulations to everyone's finds by the way!

Hey guys, long time. Just letting everyone know that I'm passing BW, the shinies aren't very interesting to me. I'm going to continue focus on what I have already, ie Plat, HG, and SS. Congrats on the shinies though.

Congrats Heliotrope on your shiny Mijumaru and Omanyte, Flamin_Lumineon on your shiny Budew, Espeonatic on your shiny Monmen, Dracidius on your shinu Kyuremu and Koromori, pokemonfreak2010 on your shiny Spearow, Raikou_fan on your shiny Latias, Keruso on your shiny Bidoof and pokeradar shinies, The King of Ho-oh's on your shiny Buneary and Ho-oh, LoneStarAkira on your shiny Choroneko. Congrats to all of the other shinies I’ve missed and welcome to all new members.

I know I haven’t posted in a few months. I need to be more active but I just haven’t had any luck until today. I’m still going for all of my targets and none of them has decided to shine. However, a certain game, that hasn’t given me a new shiny since 2006, has decide to give me a shiny. I found a random Wurmple in my Emerald while EV training. I am sure that it isn’t and RNG clone because It appeared much later than Slugma did years ago and has a different nature and gender. I’ll post pictures and the capture video later after I wake up. I don’t know what it will evolve into or it’s IVs yet.

Good luck everyone!;265;

Sorry to Backseat-own but new members PurpleEevee and diamondpoppy, you've both made 1 liners (actually barely a few words) as one of your first posts. I take it you haven't read the rules.

Not really here.
Omg! I just found my Yaguruma Forest shiny!!!

Pics and story about it in a few. Finally, over 18,000 encounters. I'll edit this post in a bit!

EDIT: Alright, so without further ado, my first ever B/W shiny AND my first ever Random Encounter shiny is:

downsize8.jpg


Hatooboo!

Alright, so, I was watching a video on Youtube to pass the time as I was encountering. I wasn't really expecting anything to show up, really, but, as I looked down at the screen for this encounter, I noticed something was a little off. I thought to myself, 'What in the world?', and then it sparkled!

I immediately closed my DS in disbelief. So, I got my camera phone and took the best pics I could.

In the battle.

downsize9.jpg

Shiny form in the Pokedex.

So yeah, I finally got it. I beat Ivyon in our race we were having, but I am sure his will show up soon as well.

It has a neutral nature, so I am thinking if I should EV train it(I do have Pokerus from before).

Alright, well, I'll end the post here, I am just rambling now. Congrats on all new shinies and good luck everyone!!!

That sucks, I'm sorry. Package delivery is so stressful. Tomorrow it will have been 2 weeks since my copy of Pokemon Black shipped. Two weeks is a bit long in my opinion, especially considering that PlayAsia said it would be here in 5-10 days. Two weeks is closer to 5 + 10 days. I'm quite disappointed in the United States postal system.

It is quite painful seeing all these shinies being found in so little resets. As to be 100% completely expected, I still have not found a shiny, despite my continuous attempts. My luck is laughably poor.

Here's hoping that I will actually get my copy of Black as well as a very well deserved shiny.
 

Keruso

Here, Birdy birdy!!
I was also chaining Ralts today. Worst.heartache.ever. I was at 39 then it broke. I hate it when that happens. Has it happened to anyone else here? If it has, I feel you're pain.

im sharing your pain. last week i had Farfetch'd at a chain of 40, and the shiny patch NEVER showed up for the 20 minutes i was refreshing the radar. i then cut the chain cause i thought i had seen a shiny patch behind my avatar..... stinkin Stantler....

anyway, i dont have a massive update like i did last week for shinies. ALL my hunts are not giving me any results. Treecko, Latias, Bulbasaur (although i really haven't done any Resets for it) and Aron simply refuse to shine for me. the only shiny i got so far was at a chain of 41:
downsized_0928001537.jpg


yep, Starly!! now i just need to grab myself a water type and i can have myself a full shiny team if i so choose to actually USE my shinies. stats:
downsized_0928001610.jpg

downsized_0928001611.jpg


and this i found interesting. i bring out my shiny Starly to see its back sprite, but who should show but:
downsized_0928001616.jpg

Zapdos! and no, he isnt Shiny. i just thought it interesting.

as of this post, all acquired shinies(except Wurmple and Whismer from Ruby, im waiting to somehow acquire 4 more, then Pal Park them) have been traded to Soulsilver.

question: I've been reading the Black and White thread, and i've heard rumors that the shiny rate in them games have been dropped. is that true?

another question: what happened to the results to the Shiny Tour?

Completing The Trio
Congrats Zabi on the shiny Yaguruma, wonderful shiny. Love the pictures too.

It actually brings me to mention that there is one thing i don't like about the new battle system in B & W, and that is the fact that even if you close the DS as soon as you see its shiny(but before the sparkles appear), you won't be able to capture the sparkles on film, if you try and video them, because the games engine continues the encounter when the DS lid is closed, even though the screen goes black.

You can try it for yourself, get into any battle against a wild pokemon, and as soon as it appears(out of the shadow, or just as the shadow appears if you wish), close the DS lid, wait around 10-15 seconds, the average time to setup a camera for recording, and then open the DS, and your already at the battle screen.

Its not much of a bother for me, but i know alot of shiny hunters love getting that sparkle on screen, and unless your filming live, your never going to get that first sparkle on film.

@NPD, 5-10 days means business days, so don't count weekends or bank holidays.

@PurpleEevee & DiamondPoppy, you both have one strike for one-liner posts. Its great that you've been welcomed into the club by other members, but theres no need to post just to say thanks to them, especially when "thanks" is all you say.

The club works on a 3 strike rule, so theres no need to worry about getting just one strike, but please be aware that you will need to flesh out your posts to several lines in this club. Don't worry though, theres usually plenty to discuss here, such as new targets, people catching new shinies and even questions.

@Keruso, theres been no increase in shiny rates as of right now, nor is there any proof of such thing at the moment.

____________

Day 3 or 4 of SRing for Shiny Victini did not go well. By which i mean, i've literally done around 20 SR's today. uggggh, sometimes i just loathe SRing so much.

I figure i'll keep at it, until the date that the event to download the "Liberty Ticket" ends. Once the event ends, i figure i'll stop SRing on Pokemon White, in order to build a shiny capture team, and continue SRing on Pokemon Black.

Upside of the above, is that any and all team raising i do, i'll do in the double encounter grass.

Best of luck everyone, hope D_S gets his game real soon. Its sucky when your postal service screws you over(looking at you Parcelforce & the UK HMRC and your £32 import charges *shakes fist*).

Come on Shiny Victini. :)

Shiny Circuit time!
Ok, no results for tyrogue yet, but watching a shiny tyrogue video on youtube gave me a question:

Do I have to battle the karate king everytime I reset for a shiny? Cause I've already beaten him and I'm just reseting for tyrogue without the battle... if I need the battle, though, then there's no point in continuing the hunt...
