It,s not a total fail... Well, it contains both fail and win:
>playing Pokémon Gold on emulator with a shitty translation, just for some hours to keep my hype under control
>found the red Gyarados and thought
>2 hours later I found a green Zubat but killed him accidentally
>some months later bought a copy of the game
>I play normally until I catch the Red Gyarados
>Thought "Hey, maybe that Green Zubat is in the same spot as in my emulator run"
>go there and FOUND THE FREAKING GREEN ZUBAT IN THE SAME GRASS SECTION
>keep playing for 400 hours thinking that shinys are bound to appear in a concrete spot
>ask another kids with shinys where they found theirs
>only able to find a golden Growlithe... IN THE EXACT PLACE A KID TOLD ME WHERE HE FOUND A SHINY GROWLITHE!!
Later I found in the internet that I was wrong and a lucky bastard.
