Hey Mylotters
Ive been playing Pokemon Platinum on the Dsi recently and Ive spent about 50 hours playing it (Never thought i'd say that lol) but seriously its a pretty good game.
Now I'm wondering about the shiny Pokemon i was lucky enough to encounter a shiny Pikachu once but that was on one of the older Pokemon games like Pokemon red or blue.
Have you seen or even caught a shiny Pokemon?
Let us know cause I'm quite interested to see just how rare seeing one is.
Thanks in advance for any responses:)

Well i caught shiny bellsprout back in the day when i played Pokemon Crystal(which btw is the best pokemon game ever). But since then i haven't any. I tried chaining with the pokeradar but it was so boring that i soon abandoned it. You need a lot patience and luck to encounter a shiny. But i don't think that the capture rate of shiny is any different compared to the normal one.

I've seen maybe 4-5 since the GSC days, just recently I encountered a shiny Floatzel in Diamond.

I once saw a shiny Parasect in FireRed version, on the Safari Zone. Unfortunately, on the Safari Zone pokemon can flee, and the parasect ran from me before I could capture him. Shiny pokemon are very, but VERY rare, the chances of seeing one are 1 in 8192 battles. You have to be VERY lucky to see one.

hey, no, I never seemed to have been luck enough to encounter a shiny pokemon, I would of loved to though, but there are no difference between normal and shine, some pokemon even look worse when they are shiny.
Hey mikeley, so you have been playing pokemon for a while now, would it be possible to view my discussion, I am trying to make a pokemon tournament where we battle for legendaries I/we put forward, in case you or anyone wants to check it out, here is the link: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2234428.aspx?p=0
