I've still never encountered a natural shiny after playing every generation. Only RNG abused ones or shit like red Gyrados

Hell, I'll note your FC and promise you that if I find a shiny, whatever it is, i'll trade it to you. Because i was somehow in your place, and because your name hit me in the feels/nostalgia zone.
