    Around here, we used to call them "Golden Pokémon" at first until the term shiny became a thing.
    The reason was of course the highest chance the first shiny you'll see is Gyarados, which some thought was meant to be a reddish/orangey goldish colour... also didn't help the games are called GOLD and Silver. When many started to get random shinies, most of them were yellowish in colour... like gold, like Charmander, Doduo, Shellder, etc... so the name golden stick for a while.
    Of course, the majority called them shiny, and then the official term became shiny, so the term "Golden Pokémon" vanished.

    I didn't know that shiny pokemon existed for almost fifteen years. I thought the Red Gyarados in GSC was just special and wasn't indicative of any other potentially different palettes for any other Pokemon.

    I remember being happy and proud that I own 10 shinies.
    Then it became 30....50....80...then it came to the point that I stopped counting nor being proud of it since shiny hunting has been easier nowadays.
    Aside from the countless ones I got in Pokemon HOME, I caught every single shiny Pokemon in SV (not all forms and shiny locks not counted However, I do have all shiny regional varians).

    @Ospyro3em 6 часов назад +1

    As someone who originally played Gold and Silver on a black and white game boy, the sparkle effect was much appreciated 😅.
    I never assumed the red Gyarados was red because it was angry, I just assumed that a shiny Magikarp was among the Magikarp forced to evolve from the radio waves and, being red, it stuck out like a sore thumb. It was a good way to introduce shinies to the player though.

  • @PwnyOps
    @PwnyOps 6 часов назад +1

    Also, i really hope that gen5 remakes will lift the shiny locks on Victini, Keldeo, and Meloetta. Dont care if it is one you capture yourself like Victini or resetting for gift Meloetta like you could with the gift pokemon in gen7.

  • @Mis73rRand0m
    @Mis73rRand0m 6 часов назад +1

    We called them Shiny back in the day, I even had that game guide that said "special colored pokemon" and chose to call them Shiny. I suspect the players themselves solidified the nomenclature.

  • @OfAaron3
    @OfAaron3 5 часов назад +1

    The story I heard was it was the classic programmer error of how the first element in an array is noted by position 0, and someone thought it was 1. This meant that when selecting Pokémon colour palettes, they accidentally selected the neighbouring palette. Then they thought it was cool, and left it as a rare feature and gave you one as part of the story.

    8:32 One thing you left out about Gen 1 Pokemon. It is impossible to get a shiny Pokemon in the wild without you're friend's romhack of the game. In vanilla Gen 1, you can get a shiny Pokemon through gifts, stationary encounters, and fishing. This restriction is also for max DV Pokemon.
    Also, it might be technically possible to get a shiny Pokemon from the Stadium games' event Pokemon, but I do not believe anyone was able to show proof of them getting one. Getting a shiny Amnesia Psyduck, Baton Pass Farfetch'd, or Earthquake Gligar would be huge, but they would probably be the longest resets in the series if you don't have a save backup before you obtain them.

  • @msthecommentator2863
    @msthecommentator2863 3 часа назад

    18:45 Fun fact: you can also evolve that shiny Magikarp - if you haven't already previously retired a Magikarp by accidentally evolving it. For the achievement "Adios, Gyarados!" if you tap repeatedly on your Magikarp, it'll break the everstone it's holding. Then once it grows to level 20, it'll evolve, and if you happen to do this to a shiny Magikarp, your Gyarados will be shiny as well. Of course, it also retires your Pokemon since you can't use it anymore in jumping contests.

    Great, fun video.
    I bought crystal version before the eshop went offline and decided to shiny hunt Cyndaquil. Because I wanted the full experience of crystal so I dimmed by brightness. Sat down with some snacks and something to watch and wasn’t paying attention and thought the 2nd cyndaquil looked a little off but wasn’t quite sure and it didn’t register in time before I reset. As soon as the next one popper up and was a different color I realized my mistake. Turned the brightness back up after that but still haven’t reclaimed it. It’s been almost a year.

    U gonna get the pokemon go people up tight lol. I think the shiny rates are basically unknown but thought to be similar to the main series. They do boost them on specific days for singular lines of mons. I went years before getting a mon to shine in those games without the pokemon day boost. The other day I walked for a mile and got 2. SO I don't know lol. Also I think go is an official spin off because the meltan/melmetal thing. I think they are the only place to get them. they are also the only one connected to pokemon HOME

    I'll never forget playing Gold when I was a kid, encountered this weird Onix that sparkled and was a different color. I got scared and thought my game broke. I ran away and turned the game boy off, then it played normally again. I didn't realize the red Gyarados meant all pokemon could have this variant. It was a while later I learned about "Shinies" and remembered then realized what happened. This was like 2000-2001 and outside of guaranteed encounters / gift pokemon I have NEVER again encountered a random shiny pokemon in my life, only doing like RNG manips these days. "How Nintendo intended" these were absurdly rare.

    3)The second seedot took 1 year and approximately 3 million total encounters!

    RNG manipulation is still cheating. Also agree with shiny hunting being up to the player I just wish the odds in new games weren’t SO good because shinies running rampant makes them less special.
