If you've read anything on social media over the past few days about the new Nintendo Switch releases Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, you might have noticed shiny Pokémon hunters are out in force. A shiny, for anyone who doesn't know, is a rare Pokémon that is a different colour from the regular one you would normally encounter. While shiny hunting has always been popular, it's really taken off in the latest releases.

Something a lot of players have been doing is resetting the game in hope of getting a shiny starter. It seems to have worked for quite a lot of people so far, but we're curious to know if anyone within the Nintendo Life community has had any luck yet. So vote in our poll and tell us down below in the comments if you ended up getting a shiny Pokémon.
