Even as a kid I never really liked this
The whole appeal of shinies was how rare they were
Getting one for free just felt like a worthless token

How the fuck do you be a Pokemon fan but never have heard of the red gyarados? Even if you never played gen 2 you're an absolute dipshit and probably underage, it's your own fault.

I thought the Ted gyrados was a special pokemon. I didn't know there were shines until gen 4 when I ran into a zubat and had no pokeballs. I got my first shiny in 2016 on black 2 and i assume a lot of people still don't know they exist.

magikarp was my first shiny and I got it in HG right outside the dragon's den. I never evolved it, but brought it to the hall of fame with me. Good times.

I figured as much but it was a lame way to do it
They could have given your rival or Lance or someone a shiny pokemon
And all the little kids would have went

I got a shiny regice the old fashioned, hard, 1/8192 odds way back in sapphire version when nobody else knew about shiny Pokémon back in elementary school! I loved the mysteriousness they had in the old days. Now they are ubiquitously known, on spammed on every online team and given away by TPC en masse like candy

Not to go full boomer but how did this many people not know about shiny pokemon?
Everyone I know knew as soon as they were released
I feel like it was a pretty advertised feature for GSC
No one had any idea what pokerus was
That shit freaked us out

97% kids at that time thought red gyrados was just red gyrados. I had to fully explain shiny Pokémon to everyone I mentioned my regice to. NONE of the Pokémon guides mentioned anything about shiny Pokémon until 4th gen when the guides had small footnotes of “unusually colored Pokémon”. The only information on shiny Pokémon were in small and obscure websites at the time that I stumbled upon.

Back then, shiny Pokémon were absolutely rare trophies. But in these modern times it’s pretty much more original to battle online with regular Pokémon...

Shiny Gyarados should've been green or something to contrast shiny Magikarp's gold/yellow color.

Makes the Red Gyarados unique.

There's nothing wrong with that.
You probably must have low-functioning autism to consider something like this a flaw in a game.

I was one of those kids. Finding out years later what a shiny actually was was magical.
