Fun fact: I was a huge shiny nerd before. I stored most of my shinies, around 50, in my Alpha Sapphire cartridge and one day I couldn't find it. A huge part of me died that day and I didn't shiny hunt for a long time
I once found a shiny when looking for a ditto... that pichu is sill unevolved cuz it hates me. still one of my only 3 shinies. I had 4 but I gave one away to a good friend since she had not even had one. it was a Poliwearl now Politoad
