aye, I'm fully aware of that. I've known him longer than I'd like to admit.
that aside, I never heard about the shiny pokemon being worse. maybe they are.
Perhaps it's the 1/8192 chance of them appearing that makes people go ZOMG SHINEY!!!!!11one
I mean, I don't ave any intention of using that Celebi or any of the other pokemon I caught with hacks. I just did it for the lulz and the bragging rights. the team I raised fair and square seems to handle things well enough for me.
and I am going to catch all 386 pokemon* without trading at all. screw trading. [and on a ROM, I don't thik it's possible, and if it is, I believe it's quite hard to "link up"]
*my game is LeafGreen. this is back in those old days where "386" was the limit.
EDIT: wow. too many footnotes, and too many side notes. I get sidetracked waaaaay too easily hahahaha
and ooo... page 8!
