With ORAS on the horizon it's been getting me to think back to my first ever shiny. I was 8 years old and on route 117 seeing what Pokemon I can find and training my Pokemon for the next gym at the daycare when suddenly it appeared. My young mind was so confused and I thought my game had glitched but still decided to check my pokeballs. I only had 1 great ball and 2 pokeballs left and didn't want to KO it. So with it still at full HP I through the great ball with no luck. I then began to really question if my game glitched since the ball didn't wiggle even once. I'm now thinking to myself this glitch must not be able to be caught and so I sent out my newly evolved Blaziken to take it out. To my surprise the hit from double kick didn't kill it and I then through one of my pokeballs and was able to catch it. I was so happy and confused that this happend and so I turned to the early internet to see what was going on with the strange color change. I find out that day what shiny Pokemon were and I was so excited to add it to my team. in my excitement I never saved my game or turned off my gameboy while I was trying to check out early google for information. The gameboy died on me without me realizing and thought nothing of it until later that day. I go to pick my gameboy back up and see the screen is black and my heart stops. I rush to get new batteries and when I turn my game back on my shiny was no more. I was heart broken but couldn't do anything about it but tell my classmates the following day at school to them not believing me. To this day I have found shinies but never again have I found a Roselia. It will forever be in my memory and will not be forgotten as I hope that with these remakes I could get lucky all over again.
