if a roaming legendary in gen 3 uses roar (in this case/ the only case it's the three beasts), they'll just disappear from the game all together and never come back.

Sword tells you how many shines you've encountered. I saw that apparently I've encountered one. After doing some digging, looks like it was a Timburr... Don't know if I wasn't paying attention and killed it or what.

Got bored of Fire Red so I used a randomizer program and hacked my cartridge to spice things up.
After 30 min of playing I fell on shiny ponyta. I don't if the randomizer screwed up the chances of shiny encounters, but it was really a bummer that one of my very few shinies was technically non-legit.

I learned my lesson that day. That was my second random shiny encounter, and the only one I failed. I've had six more encounters after that.

My brother found a shiny Ursaring in Gold... but didn't know about PC boxes being full.

I wasn't too bothered by it because i was chaining but i lost 2 shiny beldums to recoil damage.
First was just because it's only move is takedown and i had no idea the thing has such a low catch rate.
Second time i had a ghost type out, but it ran out of PP and struggled to death, there was nothing i could do about that.

My entire life.
I've only encountered one shiny (15 years ago), and I forgot to save after I caught it.
I've never actively shiny hunted, but I regularly do nuzlockes, which involve a lot of grinding on wild Pokemon. I'm not sure exactly how many wild mons I've encountered over the years, but I feel like I should have encountered another shiny now, statistically speaking.

Actually, if you really can't imagine people having different personalities than you, or just not paying attention, that's mind-blindness. And that more likely puts you on the spectrum.
Also this is /vp/, we're mostly on the spectrum here.
