what was your very first encounter with a shiny pokémon Anon and what where your thoughts about it?
mine was a shiny zigzagoon back when i was playing the sapphire version, I really didn't knew what a shiny pokémon was back then, and so I proceed to defeat it believing it would give more EXP.
were you concern about what a shiny pokemon was before you'd ever encounter one? or like me you were confused?
