Hi guys! We here on the Facebook page are celebrating throwback Thursday. Every month or so, we plan to drop some sort of question(s) asking you guys to tell us a story of a memory you had related to that question. When writing, please tell your story in a minimum of one paragraph [3-5 sentences]. There is no limit on how big it can be. Our few questions this TBT is: What was it like getting your first shiny, and how did you capture it? Happy posting!
I was grinding for the eighth gym in White 2, just mindlessy walking around and pressing the A button while in the double grass close to the haunted house. I finally decided to look up and saw a black Camerupt. It took a few seconds to connect the dots and then I freaked out like a maniac. I tossed my Masterball at it and now Lulu sits in the box, waiting.
Me and my sister had finally beaten the Sinnoh League and we planned to try the PokeRadar. By the end of the day after chaining to 40 and learning about the chaining method, we had our very first shiny, a shiny Shinx! It was just a normal capture in some fancy Pokéball, I honestly forgot. Not really that interesting, but that memory of us two shouting "SHINY SHINX!" when the grass sparkled is still fresh in my mind after 7-ish years...
One of the first times, or the first time, I played Pokémon was on my best friends DS, he handed it to me just to play around and I ended up getting randomly attacked by a rotom, I didn't know the Pokémon at this time so I show my friend, turns out to be a Shiny Rotom! We caught it asap!
If you don't count shinies given to you here is the story of my first shiny in the wild I was trying to leave the Kalos Badlands area in Pokémon X when I ran into a Pokémon. My first thought was "oh great a wild Pokémon" but once I saw what it was I yelled. It was a shiny dugtrio. I later traded it away for some other shiny but I will still remember it.
