My first shiny on these games :0 (good news and bad news)
It’s honestly so surreal having it happen to you, y’know?
I didn’t flip out or anything, I just sat there with my heart racing desperately trying to catch it. (she took three balls)
Look at her. She is beautiful! ❤️
But… I do have some bad news. This file was supposed to be a monotype Normal play through, my favorite type. The grass where I found this one was the same grass you could find Jigglypuff, I needed it for my team.
So, should I a) Bite the bullet and use this Mankey and any other Pokémon I find and have fun with my first 1/8192 shiny, maybe even attempt a full shiny team or keep trying to find at least one more, or b) Box it and keep it as a trophy of sorts, letting it rot away, never to be used again?
This is right before Mt. Moon, and I can reattempt a monotype Normal run any time. But I can only get this Mankey (probably) once in a lifetime.
I am going to end the run here and just use this Mankey and other guys I find and enjoy using, and continue shiny hunting. Maybe this save file is lucky, lol!
I’m happy with my decision. Everybody, say hello to Beautiful the shiny Mankey!
