So I am thinking about going for a shiny. Mainly because I playing and I found one; shiny primeape. But I was so excited I called my friend as soon as it came up and showed it. Then I caught it and I was training it, teaching it things. Well After a while skype was having problems so I was like... I better save now. Well I saved using both in-game save and state-save. I was playing on VBA of course. So then I tried fixing skype but I ended up having to reboot my computer because the only application that was responding was VBA. Well after I rebooted I loaded the game back up and I noticed something bad. It didn't want to load my in-game save. I was starting to freak out but remembered that I saved the state so I went to open that and I got an error... So now I am out of my shiny and I want to get another one. So now I am set on finding one. I plan on staying in one spot and using save states with turbo to find one as quick as possible. Also while this is going on I am going to be marking the amount of Pokemon that I encounter. Odds are about 1/8000 so I hope I find one before I hit that.

Hahahah! Good luck with that Cyrax!
For me I wouldn't really find a shiny one but it would be something to show off to other people XD
My first shiny was a Red Gyarados but that doesnt really count hahah!

Oh gawd a shiny Primeape would be the shiz!! I would love that to death and back! I don't discourage you for this =P It's well worth it in the end

Yea I was so tempted to just cheat for it but then its just not the same. I know I will get one sooner or later.

Shiny hunting is always hard. But I caught a shiny shaymin on Flora Sky before.

That's 0.0122% chance.

But with there being a chance I must take it.
