Damn I love this picture, that reaction cracks me up every time.
But yah have you ever actually failed at catching one? It must be the worst feeling ever...
-
Shiny Wailmer. I love shiny Wailord, so that was hard.
-
Do unsuccessful soft reset runs count? If so, I failed to find shiny charmander after 12,000 tries.
-
One time I accidentally killed a shiny Regirock.
-
Erm not really, I am using the shiny finding methods to get them.
-
I've never played Pokemon
-
I ran into a shiny Cubchoo and a shiny Gligar while EV training. I couldn't catch them because then my EVs would be screwed up :(
-
Shiny Pidgey.

Edited by Atticus: 5/18/2014 8:29:42 PMNo - I only once encountered a shiny Kricketune and caught it quite easily. This was my one and only encounter with a shiny in general.
-
I'd like to say that the shiny Whismur I got evolved, and shiny Exploud looks awful
-
A shiny Feebas.
-
The one pokemon that can flee from you in victory road.
-
Does not being able to find them count?
-
*Sniff* Yes. A shiny Graveler... I ran out of Poke Balls ;_;
-
Yes. Ran out of poke balls
-
Once, because I ran away.
-
With the right lube anyone can have a shinny pokeman
-
Yes, it was a shiny ditto.
-
I've never even found a shiny Pokemon.

My friend caught a shiny rayquaza and he'd always be talking about, but then one fateful day his little brother sold his game cartridge to another one of his pipsqueak friends. Now my friend is jumping from bouts of hysteria to periods of depression :(
-
Yeah, I saw a shiny rattatta but my pokemon were all way too high-leveled to catch it, and I had only pokeballs (this rattatta was level 30 something). Another time I found a shiny Graveler, but it exploded T-T
-
Nah, I hatched a shiny Larvitar on generation 3, which is amazing (would have been first on YouTube if recorded) Then a shiny megaton which I also caught on Gen 3.
-
I once critted to death a shiny Lombre in Y. I could never look at my starter the same way again.
-
I don't play or keep up with Pokemon much anymore. What's a shiny Pokemon?
-
I've only ever seen one shiny in my life (not counting Red Gyarados, of course). That was in November. I was in a cave and encountered a horde of Pokemon I had never seen before- some Gen 6. There were 4 males and a female in the middle. The female was a different color. I assumed it was just a difference in gender. So I ran away. Nervous a little, I later bulbapedia that shit. Only to find... it was a shiny, not a gender difference. My friend says I just sat there for like 3 minutes with my DS upsidedown staring into space. HOW WAS I TO KNOW? IT WAS A NEW POKEMON AND SO MANY HAVE GENDER DIFFERENCES NOW? WHY MUST I BE SO CURSED?
-
Let's just say I don't really go into the safari zone anymore...
-
[i]Almost[/i] failed to capture my shiny Pigdeot since I had all legendaries in my party at the time... but I eventually got it. That picture in the OP is hilarious XD
