Sonic: GOTTA GO FAST GOTTA GO FAST GOTTA GO FAST!!!

Me: Hi Mr. Hedgehog, how's it going? Gosh beautiful Saturday morning isn't it. Listen everyone in town's complaining about the noise again, we haven't slept in the 22 years since you moved into the neighborhood, and uh anyway we got to talking--

Sonic: YOU'RE TOO SLOW!!!

Me: yeeeeeeeaaaaaah...so we got to talking, and just so that I don't have to replace all the shattered windows in my home every week--

Sonic: C'MON, STEP IT UP!!!

Me: --if you can just step it down a few decibels so that we can all remember what it's like to dream that'd be greeeeeeaaaaaat...
Dang it, that film was regrettable. Though Jaleel White still has the voice in him.

The only shinies I have are a Zubat, Tailow, and (RNG) Charizard.

Speaking of shiny Tailow, that's also one my favorites

I LOVE Green/Orange mixes in general. If I can transfer Black/White Pokemon to X and Y right away (lol) then I'm definitely going to use him.
 
Every time I see shiny Scizor next to shiny Metagross I can't help but think of what a waste it is.

I think black would of been a better shiny color but then again i think black has a tendency to make anything look better... Scizor and it's preevolution are possibly some of the best designs already imo so i'll give them a pass.
 
OH, also:

I remember I was using an action replay to find Cyndaquil's in the wild (you can't see them in game and trade for them in HG/SS so I had no choice) and I ended up encountering a legit shiny, yet faked pokemon. Game froze before I could catch it, but it's not like it would have been totally legitimate anyways.

It was a sad day. I very VERY rarely run into shinies, and one of the three times I have, it was an illegal Pokemon. :(
 
I'm playing black. Does not evolving them or evolving them late have any effect?

Depends on the Pokemon.

If a Pokemon evolves by leveling up normally, it usually just learns moves a few levels later than if it was held back.

If a Pokemon evolves with an evolutionary stone, it usually stops learning moves naturally.

If a Pokemon evolves via happiness, trading, or by leveling up with a certain move learned or in a certain place, there's not usually a change.

Exceptions are many, such as if a Pokemon evolves into a branching evolution or changes types on evolving. Some "baby" evolutions will have very different learnsets too.

It hinders stat progression as more evolved forms will gain more points for leveling up. But they will level up faster, and sometimes learn moves they could only learn without evolving.

The way stats are calculated, there's no difference between when you evolve a Pokemon. Stats are always calculated using the species base stat, with nature, EVs and IVs applied after.

It can change to order in which you learn moves.

Example. Evolving Growlithe to Arcanine early and you can learn Extreme Speed with Arcanine. But wait, and Growlithe can learn Flamethrower which Arcanine cannot. But then you lose out on Extreme Speed.

Other than that, you are just delaying the big boost in base stats that evolving causes.

This reminds me that I lost my shiney Zigzagoon. I encountered it like an hour into Sapphire and had it for aaaaages. Literally the first shiney I ever caught.

But then it disappeared.

It's a pretty ugly looking shiney... but still...

I've never had a shiny. But I caught a shiny Absol on my friends game and he refused to trade it to me...

That's one thing I'm going to miss, using Action Replay to get Pokeballs.
 
I remember my first wild shiny...

Yeah.


Years later I would find a shiny Meowth in LeafGreen (which I killed, but eh), a shiny Zigzagoon on a Ruby replay, and a shiny Staravia in Platinum.
 
my legit wild shinys would be shiny phanpy in fire red rom and ducklett I encountered After I rngeg an egg XD.

My masuda shinys are scraggy, zoura, scyther, and munchlax in black
 
I've always liked Bidoof. Always thought he had a cute and (unintentionally?) comic design.

I couldn't care less for Bibarel though.
