Is it easier to catch shinies in this game? Or are we just getting really lucky?

think about it

1/8000

people on average run into like what, 100 wild pokemon in 2~3 hours?

that means every 2~3 hours 1 in 80 people will run into a shiny

the rate could have been increased, but this is not surprising given the size of this board right now.

would be nice if the % was increased.

easier, but who gives a fuck really? The shiny race is only for the first month and after that people just give them away.

I don't think that's it when 2 of my friends get the game and they both have a shiny something already.

It's definitely easier. The game dropped today and at least 200-300 people have Shinies, including multiple Shiny starters. Go look in the Shiny Pokemon tag on Tumblr if you're still in denial that the chances have increased. The only question is if the increase is normal in gameplay, or if there's something that triggers it.

(fácil on its own translates to easy, so I am guessing fácil.Já would be easier?)

Just a question so I don't miss out on any shinies, does it have any kind of sparkle animation or something, or do I just need to keep my eyes peeled for it?

Let me help you with that, I live in Portugal.
(fácil.Já doesn't mean easier by the way)

They ask Junichi if there will still be shiny pokemon, and if getting them is still based on luck.

He says "There's no way to guarantee you'll catch one, but maybe you'll find something that makes the progress easier (mais fácil = easier). Have you heard of the Masuda method? (laughs)

Well that is nice to know the correct translation.

I am still sure there is something else that can be done to make it easier.

How does the part just below that in the interview translate?

Looks like he is roughly asking is there something else to make the process easier, then he is saying back, Maybe you will have to find out.

Eurogamer:
Yes, I have. Does this "something" in Pokemon X and Y grant a better probability of obtaining shiny pokemon than with the Masuda method?

Junichi:
Maybe. You'll have to play to find out.

Hironobu:
This time, from a designer's point of view, we tried to highlight the colours of shiny pokemon even more, make them more rare. The probability of finding one is very low, but it will be exciting when you find one.

I just got it and was wondering if it was at least noteworthy since I didn't luck out on the nature.

I heard someone saying that tipping other trainers may increase shiny encounter probability. It's not confirmed though.

Okay dudes, here's a couple of general questions since they don't really deserve their own thread.

Where is the move deleter?

Yeah I'm stupid for giving it to him but my Doublade is sick of having Cut in its move list.

What level does Doublade evolve into Aegislash?

Honedge took forever to evolve, don't tell me it doesn't evolve again until like Lv.60

Where do I find Clauncher/Skrelp?

I'm playing Y and I still don't have a permanent Water type on my team. I picked Fennekin and Bulbasaur (Mega Blastoise looks like shit)

Does anyone feel like they made the EXP Share too easy? And that they give it to you way too early?

If you have the Good Rod, go to Cyllage City and go fishing off the beach. They should appear around level 25 and belong to their respective games :)

Yes. I used to never have a full equally levelled team of six until the last gym in other Pokemon games, but now it's impossible not to level up even your HM slave.

I'm not complaining, because it means I can freely switch out team members as I wish without worrying about them falling behind.

Now that I answered your question, how about you help me out by answering mine...
