Do you think making shinies easier to get was a mistake? It started with Gen 4’s pokeradar but getting a 40 chain was appropriately frustratingly difficult. But ever since then it’s been dumbed down generation after generation with mechanics to increase odds and the Shiny Charm. And now the idea of a shiny pokemon has pretty much lost it’s value compared to Gen 2-3.

To me that random shiny Seedot I got in Ruby is infinitely more valuable than getting outbreak shinies today.
