>>58920260>idk how to tell you this but shiny pokemon were always supposed to be a cool thing everyone had a few oflmao, no. you could play Pokemon for years and not see a single shiny before they raised the rates. I don't think they necessarily meant for people to spend countless hours grinding them out, but they were meant to be quite a rare thing that not everybody would have. and if anything, GF has catered towards the latter person you're describing. they've leaned into it being something you grind for and exploit mechanics to get.
