>>57773732Not back in the day you couldn't and not as a fuckwit kid either, is the point. Meaning any kid offering shinies for trade, wasn't actually offering legit found shinies, but rather cheated shinies passed off as legit and because kids in playgrounds pre-internet were fucking retarded (and sans common sense in the post-mobile internet era), hacked shinies were indistinguishable to real ones and spastics like you clearly fell for them.
Shit man, I traded away a legit Sawk from B2 in Gen 6 and I'm still cut the fuck up about it, no cocking way kids gave out legit shit for free and certainly not if they understood the rarity of the things (tricking dopes out their shinies is a different, but altogether far scummier action than passing hacks off as real).
