Oh man, oh man, oh man...

Back when it was just me and Pokemon Gold, I was going through Mt. Mortar when I ran into my first shiny pokemon ever: A Zubat. I caught it, and he was a part of my team and my favorite out of all of them even after it evolved into a funny looking pink Crobat. But then Gen III rolled around and there was no importing from the previous games and I grew out of Pokemon (until I became an adult and it became fun again, no idea how that works but hey Gen IV!)...

So now today, I was EV Training my Dratini in Mt. Mortar in my brand new shiny Soul Silver, when what do I run into?



I actually cried a little.

Caught this on my Gold ROM a few months ago.

BEFORE I bumped into Lake of Rage Shiny Gyarados. I was all HOLY SHIT ITS A SHINY.

Last time I bumped into a shiny, I think it was in my LeafGreen ROM, and it was a shiny Mankey that I accidentally KO'd while trying to whittle down its health. Feels bad, man.

I think I had a shiny Weepinbell and Graveller in Diamond.

I evolved both to Victreebel and Golem.

I actually liked shiny Victreebel. Has a sort of withered look it.

My only current one is Aggron, I caught it as a Aron on my first run through that cave during my playthrough of Sapphire and it's been in my team since. Ported it to my copy of Diamond after beating the Elite 4 in that too. It looks awesome.


Back in my orginal gold I had a shiny zubat and stantler too. Also I saw a shiny graveler once(in diamond or sapphire I think) but it used explosion on it's first turn.....

So, a Magikarp has an attack of 9 at level 20. When it evolves into Gyarados, it has an attack of 55.

Fucking Magikarp.

Ya know, despite Gyarados 4x damage vs Lightning, i always have one on my team.

[Loyal]

Well, yes. Gyarados' 4x Lightning weakness is literally the only downside to using it, so... yeah. Like with nearly all the Dragon types; 4x Ice weakness, but you aren't going to let that stop you.

Seriously, it's a trap dude...

Come back to the light.

I typically do as well, but this time I decided to break tradition, so until recently I was using Feraligatr as my primary water type. However, I've recently retired it in favor of the superior damage soaking power of Milotic.
