>>24632417The fun from shiny pokémon was already dead before injection.
It started to die since gen 4 with Radar and Masuda, died harder with Shiny Charm, but those were at least optional, but it was already a joke in gen 6 with the STANDARD shiny chance being halved while keeping the increasing methods from the previous gens, and also new chaining methods and FS.
The only shinies I care about are the ones I found with the old 1/8192 chance, and those were all on gen 3.
Oh, if you mean competitive-perfect shinies, Instacheck/Keysav was a thing before injection. And RNG abuse was a thing in previous gens, particularly in gen 4 hatching shiny eggs was piss easy, I have an entire box of RNG'd shinies in my Pearl that I never even bothered transferring.
>le mad shiny hunterI'm actually an active injector but even before that I could easily get shinies without genning in gen 4~6. Shinies aren't worth shit anymore and they likely won't ever be. I still have my legit shinies from gen 3 in a box and they're the only ones I care about, but of course they have shitty stats and only have any sort of value for me.
