My best friend and his brother has played pokemon sense the year blue and red came out. thats obvously a long time, and ever sense gold/sivler theres been shinys.

well, his brother has seen and (DUN DUN DUN) KILLED more than 7 shinys!!!

it almost made me mad, i mean some people never ever see shinys, some people hunt shinys, but besides him ive never met a hater!

any of you haters of shinys, or know haters?
 
Shiny's aren't nothing to get worked up about, boy, they're just a different colour.

Sure they're pretty, but not much else.
 
LOL BEST SIG IVE EVER READ!~!!!

but anyways, i know but i just mean why hate them, even if you dont mind them...?
 
Shinies are collector's items and bargaining chips. Nothing more.

And most of them are hideous, anyway. Shiny Zubat and Shiny Deoxys just make me want to puke.

Yes, I'll collect them because they're valuable in trading. But I won't actively hunt them.
 
Never seen one. I don't hunt them, but if I saw one I would catch it and be pretty excited. Its cool as a colector item, and I respect the fact that some people like to put alot of time into hunting them.

Uh thanks.

Anyway, I collect them, but only because they're useful for trading. I don't get why someone would out-rightly hate them, but I can see why people would be like "meh" about them.
 
Shinys are good, but i dont spend forever trying to hunt them.

I've seen a shiny larion that got away in ruby and i caught a shiny makuhita in emerald.
 
I like shinies if I catch them myselves. I hate shinies if it's from a trade b/c I will always be thinking that it is hacked. Shiny Pokemon are nice but Action Replay ruined it.
 
Never seen one when I play the games except for storymode (G/S/C).

If I actually do see one, okay. I'll battle it, catch it, end of story. It's just a different color, nothing more.
 
being a shiny breeder, ive gotten lots of flack.
because i hack them, i get so much garbage from people;
like hacks are the scum of the underworld.
ive even gotten people refusing to trade even my legit pokemon because they might be "tainted." lol
they just dont understand the technicalities of hacking.
now i know theres some bad hacks, but i use ones that are ensured not to glitch; i do not trade flawed merch.
what i think is funny is that people who do not go into pro tournaments that look for nothing but legit shinies; and spend hours and hours doing so; one of the biggest wastes of time ever.
theyre nice to have, but hardly worth the time to get a legit one.
 
I'm not really a "hater" of the shinies just the people that spam them everywhere. I've seen like 4-5 Shinies and just yesterday caught a lvl 16 shiny Goldeen on Diamon on a ROM. I mean their nothing special same stats and everything, just over 90% of them are colored horribly and get those little sparks when their put in battle.
 
I hate it how people become obsessed with them and hack them perfect natured and all for wi-fi. So I'm a shiny hater. Do not get me wrong tough, I do catch every shiny I encounter (that's 1 in total T.T)
 
number of shinies i have seen to my knowledge: 0

to be honest i have no reason to even want shinies, they are literally only a different color than other pokemon. they are not more powerful, they are not more useful and they are much harder to get. someone want to explain the point exactly? id much rather have a perfectly trained pokemon with perfect IV's, nature, the works than a shiney one.

on the other hand, black charizard and black raquaza look awsome, however i wouldnt trade something valuable (like a jirachi) for one.
 
Shinies are nice. If you get a random shiny, that's just a show of good luck, and you wanna treasure it. If you chain it, that's a show of skill and you keep it to show off.
 
eh... there really is no pupose of hunting them, they really have no significant differeence, except it's color.

hunting them will waste a lot of anymones time =/
 
I'm not a hater, I just suck at finding them. The first time my brother used the PokéRadar, the first Pokémon he found was a shiny Fearow. That got me really angry.
 
Stupid haters....what a waste, and what a stupid thing to do, kill them.

Ex. If there were only Red Lamborghini's out there, and you were offered (that you could EASILY afford lets say) the only black one, wouldn't you take it? It dosn't mean that you can't have other lambo's or anything so why crush it into a cube?

I havn't even seen a wild ahiny yet (cept red Gyarados of coarse)
 
You could consider me a shiny hater, if you want to call it that. In my opinion the only good shiny is Magikarp and Lucario.
I have released a shiny treecko, mudkip, empoleon simply because I was soft resetting for IVs and they were awful.
Also, they all have UGLY sprites.
 
I'm a shiny hunter. Why? Because shinies are so valuable and rare. I hunt for them when there's nothing else to do in the game. (Or when I want to take a break from completing the Pokédex)
