all those shinnys...

[GuillerMocky]

remember when getting a shinny pokemon, was actually, hard?

a few had shinnys, and only a few shinnys, not all the shinnys.

Now everybody has every shinny >:x its been a cloning shinny pokemon orgy since trade came out xD

and dont make me start talking about all those shinny pokemons giveaways, contests, and quizes that suddenly came out.

Im pretty sure most of my shinnys got clonned, i mean, i got my shinny mew from someone, in exchange for an abra .__.

[somerandomguy]

I caught 3 shinys ... butterfree, beedrill, and weedle.

Still have the weedle and leveled up the other two.

I played a decent amount (on two profiles I have about 600k total money) and I too find it hard to believe that most people got all shinys (of EVERY evolution) without duping in some way, even if you traded with people who duped it without you knowing. I mean I traded a Mew and got shiny abra, shiny sandshrew, and shiny arbok. I traded another Mew and got shiny spearow, and shiny ekans, and shiny caterpie. I used 2 legit Mews and traded them because I had 3 and only needed 1 but I highly doubt the shinys I got weren't duped at one point or another.

I doubt most of the trading going on is totally legit, but pokemon is suppose to be fun right? Sam will eventually fix the problems with trading (hopefully) and the later shinys will be more valuable. Also If Sam keeps doing a hunt every week we might end up getting most, if not all the shinys handed to us anyway.

So even though I like the idea of shinys being rare, they'll only be rare when they first come out. After a week most people will have it. I mean I looked for 2 days to trade something for low level shiny sandshrew that had defense curl, but 90% of the sandshrews were lvl 13 that had rapid spin instead of defense curl. What are the odds of that?

In the end it's not so bad. People are happy about getting shinys and that's really all that matters. I too will try to get all the shinys, but only the last evolutions. There's no point to me having a lvl 100 abra with teleport lol.

i only seen 2 wild shinnys, and i been playying this game since it came, out, and look, in this last 3 days, i got everysingle shinny pokemon by trading them for abras :/ i belive all my shinnys are clonned XD

[somerandomguy]

It's not so bad though, I mean you have the shinys and they'll get exp 50% faster when the lvl cap increases lol.

I think shinys won't be rare unless the trading mechanics change, and there's still a chance for that. Besides the game isn't that far along (only gym 2) and if we get a free hunt shiny every week then all these begining shinys would be free anyway.

So if the trading is fixed then there will still be rare shinys. They'll just be all the later game pokes.

maybe we need, shinny shinnies!


i think sam only needs to make the clonning orgy stop, by making players unable to open their accounts more than once at the time :/

But if Sam did that it would be harder to trade pokemon between profiles.


I don't like the fact that a lot of people are cloning their shiny pokemon. :/ And the worst part is it's impossible to know for sure if someone is cloning. (Although it's very suspicious if they have like 5 shiny abra's or something)

[GuillerMocky]

a guy here once uploaded a picture of his storage T-T

he had a few shinnys, but 2 shinnys of each and with the samel level XD 2 level 15 shinny ekans next to each other

and then he said something like, Wow i been so lucky to find all this shinnys!


You know that you can trade with yourself? just take the 2 codes, close the profile, go to the other profile, and trade with yourself, geez you even can make your golems evolve only by taking the code out and using it on the same profile XD

[burningace]

Roflmao i got my post up somewhere and the only 2 i have from the same level were 2 Jigglypuff's
just cuz i traded em over real quick Now i got a Jiggly and a Wiggly

Yeah but like I said before if Sam fixes how pokes are traded, then this the game will still be alright. Most of these begining pokes will be given away if Sam continues doing the hunt every week. So it'd be like we got a bunch of hunts early on.

[GuillerMocky]

i dont think sam will go hunting hackers or anything, we need to remember this is just a flash game, and we think we play it online cuz we have forums of it :/

sam its under contract now cuz he has sponsors, so he needs to focus on improving the game, things like level caps, more pokemons, the next update will be more pokemons, new level and higher level cap, he usually did this mini updates, i dont think is going to make them anymore

[Sir Wobbuffet]

I doubt Sam will add a new level next update. He hasen't said it in his blog and he already has a lot of things he needs to do this update like creating 32 need moves and adding 21 shiny pokemon. He said on the blog he'd make a new challenge level though.

Lol I didn't know you could trade to your own profile...that's interesting.

[GuillerMocky]

a challange level its the same thing than a new level

we get a challange level for each gym :3

I personally think that shinnies are just a gimmick, in the sense of trading them. Sure its is always fun to find and catch one in the wild, but other than their "pretty" colouring and them leveling up twice as fast, their isn't much to them. A shiny, level 25 Gloom, is the same as a regular level 25 Gloom. I mean, one of the benefits of PTD is the ability to do other things while playing. When you don't watch the Pokemon fight and level up, levels can go by much, much quicker.

Due to the recent cloning of shinnies, its hard know whether or not a Pokemon has been cloned. My advice: simply don't trade for them. But if you really have to, trade with people you can trust.

But hey, that's just my two cents.

I agree with this that they are kind of like a gimmick. In fact I enjoyed this game much more when Mt. Moon 1 was actually difficult and I had to lvl my pokes or catch new ones like geodude who were better fitted to beat the lvl.

The only reason I keep playing this game is because for one it's pokemon lol and two because i'm hoping later on there will be some very hard lvls that make me think how to beat um.

[GuillerMocky]

since i got all the shinnys (im missing shinny abra, i had it cuz i traded my shinny caterpie for it but them i donated the shinny abra on my shinny abra charity thingie for the donation 100 .__.)

I stopped trading since i got every pokemon /:

now i just spent my time, catching abras and making money at cerulean
