Do any of you guys farm shinies in the video games?

How does that work out for you?

I farmed two boxes of shiny mon using the Pokéradar. Of the half that had usable natures, they all had shitty IVs.

That was why I decided it's morally acceptable to RNG.

I don't really "farm" for shinies, but when I breed, I try to always get a foreign pokémon of that species first to use Masuda Method. If I got a shiny, well, great! It's my bro now. If not, I I'll just stop when I got the first good egg, which was my goal.
MM is great, I got 2 shiny Scraggys, a Cottonee, Carvanha, Cacnea, Mankey, Wooper and Foongus.

Every time, or did you just do it the one time? 3 hours doesn't sound too bad if the shiny is awesome and you're multitasking.

Do you really think an alternative color scheme for a Pokemon is what people hunt shinies for? People hunt shinies because they're rare as fuck, so when you find and catch one, it's like a trophy. Heck, some shinies look stupid as fuck, but I've never seen or heard of a person that'll turn down a shiny because it looks weird.

Every pokemon post was full of genwunners on the comments, every single one.
If is a gen 1 post, people would be like : "THE NEW GENS SUCK, KIDS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW GOOD THE FIRST GEN IS, THESE LOOKS LIKE DIGIMONS WOW NINTENDO GOOD JOB"
If it wasn't a gen 1 post, it would be like:

Pretty much every time I've played the game I've ended up with Pokerus. I've only ever encountered 2 shinies.
One was after soft-resetting for a starter with a nature that I didn't dislike. After about 5 attempts I got a shiny.
The nature was one I disliked.

My first ever shiny was on Ruby. It was Feebas.
Still have the Milotic. I even tried to EV train it, and beat the E4 with it in my team. Now I don't ever use it because the name of the trainer I used in that game wasn't the same as the one I use now.

PokeRadar in gen 4 is really fucking easy if you get good at keeping your chain alive, but it can be tricky. Masuda Method isn't as likely to produce one but it's easier the odds are still decent.

So basically Gen 4 - Pokeradar, Gen 5 - MM.

No, because the game is programmed to display the non-shiny sprite. It doesn't generate an encounter.

It's been debunked many times.

Bullshit bro

I SRed around once every 90 seconds for 180 minutes straight, which is around 120 resets... Given the chance for a shiny is roughly 1/8000... Yeah, my bad, yeah... Fuck bro.

If it helps, RNG is completely random... You may see 10 shinies in a row or none in your entire lifetime.
