I'll set the scene for you. It was Freshman Year in High school. My friends and I were huge nerds [Not much has changed lol] and I spent the entire Lunch period trying to catch Lugia in Pokemon Silver before fighting Red cuz I couldn't beat him without spamming Save states when the turn went my way. So I killed Lugia a few times and ran out of balls a few more. So my second to last attempt to catch Lugia I got it to about 5 Hp and accidently used an attack and Ko'd it instead of using an Ultra Ball. I reset the game to try again. My friend Mark leans over and says, "You know that was shiny right?" I dropped the game and began to ask him what he saw cuz I didn't even pay attention to Lugia's sprite. I looked up Lugia's gen two shiny sprite and he was right. I had KO'd a Shiny Lugia, which I encountered about 8 or 9 attempts in. I proceeded to pull out all my notebooks out of my backpack and draw my gravestone on all of the front pages, with my quote being "I killed a Shiny Lugia and didn'y know it was shiny..." Yeah my life became dark after that day.

In case you're wondering I caught the next Lugia in a Master ball cuz I was pissed. True Story.

[QUOTE="PokeStorm, post: 790809, member: 172119"] I'll set the scene for you. It was Freshman Year in High school. My friends and I were huge nerds [Not much has changed lol] and I spent the entire Lunch period trying to catch Lugia in Pokemon Silver before fighting Red cuz I couldn't beat him without spamming Save states when the turn went my way. So I killed Lugia a few times and ran out of balls a few more. So my second to last attempt to catch Lugia I got it to about 5 Hp and accidently used an attack and Ko'd it instead of using an Ultra Ball. I reset the game to try again. My friend Mark leans over and says, "You know that was shiny right?" I dropped the game and began to ask him what he saw cuz I didn't even pay attention to Lugia's sprite. I looked up Lugia's gen two shiny sprite and he was right. I had KO'd a Shiny Lugia, which I encountered about 8 or 9 attempts in. I proceeded to pull out all my notebooks out of my backpack and draw my gravestone on all of the front pages, with my quote being "I killed a Shiny Lugia and didn'y know it was shiny..."
