Whoops! Can't believe I mixed that up. Damn, it really has been a long time since I played BW
My FIRST shiny other than Gyarados was a Shiny Zigzagoon before I had pokeballs. My second was a shiny Geodude in Fire Red that I still have. Third a Shiny Emolga I ran into while Audino grinding. All my others are gifts from friends.
A few
Got a shiny Anorith in Ruby, a shiny Gloom in the Sapphire Safari Zone. Got a shiny Charmander while breeding in HGSS, a shiny Shellder while breeding in BW, a shiny Drilbur in B2W2. Probably some more I'm missing
Then there's the events and Haxorus etc.

Battle Frontier please?
I really love that shot. Shame Squirtle isnt at the Lab to be in that ( along with the obvious Pidgeot and Primeape).

Finally about to get to the Pokemon League in Black 2. I put the game down for 3+ months but I am back on track! What a fantastic game, can't wait for X/Y

Just ordered Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky~ Won't play it for a while, but looking forward to it.
Used the Mimic/Transform glitch with the red Gyarados to get a shiny Ditto from Red, with which I bred a shiny Charizard in Gold.
Found a shiny Gloom in the wild in Ruby.
Chained the following in Diamond:
Larvitar
Surskit
Voltorb
Dunsparce
Porygon
Togepi
Magnemite
Doduo
Absol
Ralts
Tyrogue
Caterpie
There were at least two of a couple of those, but I don't remember exactly which (Doduo, Ralts and Tyrogue I think?). I really liked chaining, shame they didn't keep it.

I thought it was hilarious that Tauros were struggling to get in the picture. I'm disappointed that Ash didn't pick up Squirtle, Primeape and Pidgeot.
He should be selfish and kept Larvitar, Lapras and Haunter.

Well the two have careers while Pidgeot is technically "free".

If they ever make Pokemon Red/Green/Blue 3DS, I really hope that Ash would ended up battling against trainer who captured his Pidgeot so Ash would felt that he's idiot for giving away Pidgeot.

I was initially against the idea of a Red/Blue/Green game but the more I think about it the more I want one.
Just a question by the way, do you guys on Gaf help people out with evolve-trades and just trades generally? Would love to complete my Pokedex in X & Y.
I think I'll try to help as many as I can.
IntelliHeath

Well, Ash would visiting the specific regions depend on the game being released. For example, I would like to believe that Ash went to Johto again when Heart Gold and Silver Soul got released.
If Red/Green 3DS got released then they probably would do the arc on Ash visiting Kanto.
Yeah, I would help if people need it.

If you guys ever meet a random shiny Pokémon, would you try your luck with weakening it and using a more standard ball, or would you just go with a Master Ball?
Boss Doggie

Shouldn't reviews come out by now?
Weaken and Luxury Ball.
After freaking out about finding a shiny growlithe I weakened it to less than half its HP and not wanting to risk it any further captured it with a great ball which was the best I had atm

Depends on the Pokemon, some know moves like Roar or Perish Song, others have moves like Hi Jump Kick and Double Edge, which could kill them.
It's situational
When do reviews ever come out two weeks before launch? We'll see them a couple of days before at best

If the catch rate is anything below normal, I'm not taking any chances and chucking a Master Ball at it.
Though I've caught three shinies in the wild, two Shinxes, and one Growlithe, all with Quick Balls tossed on the first turn.
Boss Doggie

Oh right, I thought it's usually a week before.

The fact that I could be playing Pokemon X in 15 days time excites me extremely.

The fact there are still 15 days left saddens me .____.

My first Shiny was in Emerald, Dusclops...found in the Battle Pike. The most disappointing moment in my life.
Years later I came across in Black Version a Shiny Leavanny, and caught it. Later I was breeding it for a Sewaddle for competitive use, and hatched a Shiny Sewaddle. Then not too long after, in Chargestone Cave, I found a Shiny Ferroseed and caught it.

It's on the NE section of the first floor., the 1st basement should have a stairway in that general direction. that leads to that section of the 1st floor. It's not much help, but here's a map I found.

How can you hate shiny Dusclops?
He couldn't actually catch it if he was in the Frontier. I've never seen a shiny outside of RNG.

Still 20 days for me.
And the only site I've seen review a game 3 weeks early is IGN.

I'm looking at about a few days after worldwide launch, give or take.

If I was to get the game on the 11th and set up a Twitter feed to report on it would people be interested or not?
I would, for sure.

16.5 days for me I think. I'm getting it the moment it goes up on the eShop.
Lucky. I emailed amazon and asked whats up with it not arriving til the 17th. Some service rep replied back, explained it, and upgraded me to one day shipping! So now ill get it in 20 days.

Same. Will it be available by midnight, I wonder?
For sure.
