On a side note, I was pretty pissed with my cousin for a while because he deleted the old save file. I eventually got over it when I realized it was a stupid grudge and because my new save turned out better in the long run anyway.

And both times with the early black/white roms with clearly broken RNGs and wild bulbasaurs on every route. There is no recorded instance of it ever having happened in an actual legit (or even correctly functioning) game.

I encountered a shiny in my black2 Nuzlocke as my actually available pokemon in a cave.

It was a zubat and I caught it and it survived the run.

Yeah of course. I would box it through.
A nuzlocke challenge is just for fun.
Why take it so seriously?

Should be a clause that Nuzlocke rules no longer apply in a shiny encounter, but they have to be boxed

This. It's beginning to be a pet peeve of mine when people misuse the word ironic/irony. What that anon had was just a coincidence or luck or whatever you want to call it.

In all my years of playing Pokémon, this is the only shiny I've ever found. It's got a special place in my heart, of course, but I still wish it were something cooler ;_;

I want to call it irony.

This glorious motherfucker with the great IVs was my first shiny. Almost lost her and everything else on my Pearl version, but she's back now.

I did, however, loose a shiny Oddish/Gloom to the curse of the Crystal internal battery. Never even made it to a Vileplume_

Also a shiny Pidgey on an emulator run of silver. I don't even know if I still have that save, I completely forgot about it until now.
