>>39242647I've played every fucking game from red, blue, and yellow when I was a youngster until Moon pretty much.
I've sunk so much god damn fucking time into the games and I have never even encountered a non-scripted shiny in the wild.
Only in Moon did I bother doing perfect breeding and I managed to breed my first ever shiny, a shiny Mimikyu and shortly after a shiny of my favourite mon, Slowpoke.
I was so fucking stoked I got my first shiny mons. Right after I bred my shiny slowpoke I was moving to a town over and ran into my first ever encounter shiny.. Alolan Raticate.
It was a mixed feel.
