Ok, this isn't really an acheivement...it's more...the exact opposite. So until v 2.4, I didn't really pay attention to the level while looking for shinies (because back then most shinies were already given in codes anyway) but since then I've been paying VERY close attention, and even more so since 2.5.
Well, up until tonight, I hadn't seen a single shiny in the wild. None. But as it happened, earlier tonight I was trying to evolve my Magikarp in Veridian Forest 2 (and anybody who has tried the same will agree, leveling up a Magikarp in this game is anything but easy) when my Ninetails leveled up. I clicked it's icon and pressed the level up button, then scrolled back to the other side of the screen to see a shiny Metapod...right underneath my Charmeleons fireball. Now I'm not one for randomly screaming out, but I decided to make an exception after that.
Later on, I was doing the same thing again, when inevitably, my Ninetails leveled up again. Care to hazzard a guess as to what happened when I scrolled back after leveling it up? Yeah. I swear, this game hates me.
Now, after losing yet ANOTHER shiny Metapod, I almost threw my laptop out the window. But, as any dedicated gamer does, I kept on playing. Until my Mankey killed the shiny pikachu that is. Now, bear in mind that until this point, I had not seen a single shiny in the wild, and now, within the span of 1 hour I'd missed 3. Now, I'm trying very hard to keep this post...family-friendly, but I gotta say, it's not easy when something like that happens.
Edit: Ok, well, I decided to finish the round I was in the middle of, and a shiny butterfree appeared. Fortunately, I actually caught this one, so now I'm fine. Still, 4 shinies in one hour. Wow.
Edit: Make that 5 shinies, I caught this one too! (another Metapod) This is just insane.
