A Shiny Compendium

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

*pats on shoulder* RIP, shiny Ratsy. I know the feeling of loosing a shiny (in fact, I lost two... not as rare as Ratsy though, but still... that gif depicts it perfectly)...

Damn, you were able to make up for that with three other shinies. THREE. And this is awesome, let that sink it.... even if the hurt of the loss... remains. That moment of awesomeness, a shiny encounter! Maybe you were running around totally bored at that Route, maybe you had other stuff to do and you've made a step into the grass without intention to do so and thought something like "Damn you, wild Pokemon... I'm not up to you, now!" But then you realize those sparkles flying around for a secound or two and you may think "Huh?"

(...)

... and that pure moment when the text box displays that you caught the Pokemon. Feelings intesify as you take a look at your new shiny fosterling, you don't even care if the IV or the nature suck... after all, it's shiny, it's something special. Even more if it is a wild encounter. At least for me.

(Sorry for being so emotional, but well... and good luck on your hunt. *waves with a smile, but also with tears in my eyes* Oh, don't mind me... I'll be fine. *holds a sob*)
