Ug. Well, I might as well tell my story that I love to tell so much.
I kinda dropped out of Pokemon after G/S, but I probably logged over 200 hours on those, as well as 80+ hours on Fire Red. In that entire time I saw ONE shiny Pokemon. It was a lv.8-13 (something really low) Geodude, in one of the early caves in Gold or Silver. The only Pokemon I had on me were in the lv.50 range, and a lv.12 Spinarak, with Poison Sting. Since I didn't have any other usable attacks, I just kept hitting him with poison sting, which did almost no damage, but poisoned him. He got down to low HP, I threw an ultraball, he broke out, and then fainted. Woo. |
