@Outerdragon alas, go isn't an option for all of us. nearest pokestop to me is like 20 miles away right now and the only way to get to those on foot is via either trespassing or walking down a road thats... well, the speed limit is pretty much non-existent due to the lack of cops. the lack of pokestops makes it extremely hard to even level, let alone shiny hunt. @Ultrasmiles even more so when it's at the start of the game. i could see if it was the only way to farm them like it is with regidrago & regieleki, but it's not. i was extremely lucky to get a shiny regidrago in under 500 kills, shiny regieleki however... well, over 900 kills and off and on soft resetting since last august and still haven't gotten it to spawn
@Azuris yes and no, kind of depends on what you're looking for and which game you're trying to find it in... base shiny rate is 1/4096, used to be 1/8,192 before gen 6. with a shiny charm it goes up to 1/1365.3 in b2w2, 1/512 in every game after. ultra wormholes had the best odds out of all the games for regular mons, with each regular mon having about a 36% chance of being shiny at 5000+ lightyears traveled in a type 4 wormhole. though regular mons odds were rigged from the moment you entered so if it wasn't shiny, you could not soft reset until it was. legendaries & UBs didn't get that buff, but unlike the regular mons you could soft reset for them and their odds were buffed by the shiny charm. shiny charm used to be an all-around buff in odds up til swsh, where static encounters with pokemon where not affected by the shiny charm, so all the legendaries outside of dynamax adventures are stuck at 1/4096 odds. another thing to note is that pokemon in dynamax adventures have a 1/300 chance of being shiny, 1/100 with shiny charm. with bdsp, the shiny charm doesn't affect anything but eggs, its unknown if this was a bug, oversight or intentional. the other methods to get shiny pokemon in bdsp is the pokerader, a successful chain of 40+ yields 1/99 chance of sparkling patch with a shiny in it, but they botched things up with it so the chains more likely to break in these games than in dppt so it ends up being a 7% chance of the chain breaking each time if you do everything right, while in dppt it was only a 2% chance the new method in these games is gathering the dust that diglett and dugtrio in the underground leave behind until the meter under the mini-map hits 40 which increases the odds of shiny pokemon to 1/2048 for 4 mins. so ultimately, the best way to get shinnies in this game is the ever-present masuda method with a 1/683 chance of a mon hatching shiny, 1/512 chance with the shiny charm. rambling on... theres also pokemon or pokemon forms that you can't legitimately get shiny yet and every main series game since bw has had pokemon that are shiny locked and all mythicals tend to also be shiny locked so some mons will take you through a special kind of hell to find shiny... for example, mew which the only 2 methods of getting shiny where though limited time event behind a paywall in go or the old sea map event from 2005, only way anyone can get the latter is through a gameshark these days and even than its still leaves you with the 1/8,192 chance of encounter... then you have jirachi which can only be farmed from a pokemon colosseum bonus disk which will most likely cost you over 200$ to get one used. and even after that, it will require a constantly deleting ruby or sapphires save data & getting the pokedex for each attempt with the 1/8,192 odds. then you got manaphy... https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/fdowih/discuss_a_guide_to_shiny_hunting_manaphy_optimally/ these are also the only 3 pokemon currently shiny locked BDSP. this is including the mythicals that are locked behind event items, namely darkrai, shaymin & arceus though they might end up having shiny locks put on them by the time their events come...

@Xiovanni not really, the actually myth in the japanese version goes like this:
"Sinnoh Folk Story 3" There once were Pokemon that married people. There once were people who married pokemon. This was a normal thing because long ago people and pokemon where the same.
the english version reads about the same but is less blunt about it There once were Pokémon that became very close to humans. There once were humans and Pokémon that ate together at the same table.It was a time when there existed no differences to distinguish the two.
if you think about it, the main things that separate humans in the pokemon world from pokemon is commutation. so its possible that at one point humans all used to be able to speak to pokemon as easily as they do other humans and given that pokemon don't care about difference in species(skitty x wailord) you can see how this would be a more likely occurrence in the pokemon worlds past than our own. even more so when you take into account the N's existence, the fact that there are pokemon smarter than humans, humans that have turned into pokemon and pokemon that have turned into humans...
"Sinnoh Folk Story 2" There lived a Pokémon in a forest. In the forest, the Pokémon shed its hide to sleep as a human. Awakened, the human dons the Pokémon hide to roam villages.
also, from the sinnoh region myth: Long ago, when Sinnoh had just been made, Pokémon and humans led separate lives. That is not to say they did not help each other. No, indeed they did. They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other. A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans. It asked that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always. Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to us if we venture into tall grass.
this one sounds a lot like how the first trailer for legends started... This is a tale from a long long time ago, when the Sinnoh region was still only a vast wilderness. A certain village bustled with the comings and goings of people while in the mountain and seas, Pokémon roamed as they pleased.
my main issue with other m is how out of character both adam and samus where as she was never that submissive to him and by the time she went down to zebas he had no control over her nor did he try to control her.
@Anti-Matter i just need the monkey to finish off my living dex. don't need a shiny celebi though as i already went though the hassle of hunting one a few years ago

@mr-duster given how masuda has been since gen 6 started, we can already most likely count the platinum improvements as being non-existent. no battle frontier, no distortion world, cynthia being made easier and everyone else being made easier, early exp share or something else that makes leveling far to easy before the end game, no player own villia, the story being dumbed down, ect hell, wouldn't be surprised if areas like new moon island and flower paradise end up being non-existent.

@Tasuki they'll only go after the ones who are stupid enough to use the save that their doing this online. either that, or the switch is going to get an update detects and bricks switch's that have one of those plugged into it. ultimately though, they can't do anything about the shiny pokemon that where made from this thing and traded off for the very same reason why they can't do anything about clones or generated mons. so long as the pokemon is legal or legit, its safe from being detected and purged. in any case, i'm not getting one. instead its back to wondering from den to den to try and find a shiny vaniluxe while hunting a shiny trubish in pokemon x...
@Abeedo once a year is a bit off, there where 3 or more in 2018 4 in 2019 1 in 2020 1 so far in 2021 if it is down to just once a year, it means they mostly given up on trying to stop people from hacking their 2/3ds's(though its not like they where ever really able to stop it to begin with)
@AFCC it will most likely take longer then that given that more pokemon are probably going to be eventually added and odds are things that curbstomp everything currently will be eventually added in behind gems
@EarthboundBenjy that seems like its going to be the fate of the 3ds. just think, within the next 2 or 3 decades, only pirates will be able to get DLC on the 3ds... though by that point most of the popular things will have already had a remake or 5

Re: Poll: Have You Caught A Shiny Pokémon In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes?
@Outerdragon alas, go isn't an option for all of us. nearest pokestop to me is like 20 miles away right now and the only way to get to those on foot is via either trespassing or walking down a road thats... well, the speed limit is pretty much non-existent due to the lack of cops.

Re: Poll: Have You Caught A Shiny Pokémon In The Diamond And Pearl Remakes?
@Azuris yes and no, kind of depends on what you're looking for and which game you're trying to find it in...
base shiny rate is 1/4096, used to be 1/8,192 before gen 6.
with a shiny charm it goes up to 1/1365.3 in b2w2, 1/512 in every game after.
ultra wormholes had the best odds out of all the games for regular mons, with each regular mon having about a 36% chance of being shiny at 5000+ lightyears traveled in a type 4 wormhole. though regular mons odds were rigged from the moment you entered so if it wasn't shiny, you could not soft reset until it was.
legendaries & UBs didn't get that buff, but unlike the regular mons you could soft reset for them and their odds were buffed by the shiny charm.
shiny charm used to be an all-around buff in odds up til swsh, where static encounters with pokemon where not affected by the shiny charm, so all the legendaries outside of dynamax adventures are stuck at 1/4096 odds.
another thing to note is that pokemon in dynamax adventures have a 1/300 chance of being shiny, 1/100 with shiny charm.
with bdsp, the shiny charm doesn't affect anything but eggs, its unknown if this was a bug, oversight or intentional.
the other methods to get shiny pokemon in bdsp is the pokerader, a successful chain of 40+ yields 1/99 chance of sparkling patch with a shiny in it, but they botched things up with it so the chains more likely to break in these games than in dppt so it ends up being a 7% chance of the chain breaking each time if you do everything right, while in dppt it was only a 2% chance
the new method in these games is gathering the dust that diglett and dugtrio in the underground leave behind until the meter under the mini-map hits 40 which increases the odds of shiny pokemon to 1/2048 for 4 mins.
so ultimately, the best way to get shinnies in this game is the ever-present masuda method with a 1/683 chance of a mon hatching shiny, 1/512 chance with the shiny charm.
rambling on...
theres also pokemon or pokemon forms that you can't legitimately get shiny yet and every main series game since bw has had pokemon that are shiny locked and all mythicals tend to also be shiny locked so some mons will take you through a special kind of hell to find shiny...
for example, mew which the only 2 methods of getting shiny where though limited time event behind a paywall in go or the old sea map event from 2005, only way anyone can get the latter is through a gameshark these days and even than its still leaves you with the 1/8,192 chance of encounter...
then you have jirachi which can only be farmed from a pokemon colosseum bonus disk which will most likely cost you over 200$ to get one used.
and even after that, it will require a constantly deleting ruby or sapphires save data & getting the pokedex for each attempt with the 1/8,192 odds.
then you got manaphy...
https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinyPokemon/comments/fdowih/discuss_a_guide_to_shiny_hunting_manaphy_optimally/
these are also the only 3 pokemon currently shiny locked BDSP.
this is including the mythicals that are locked behind event items, namely darkrai, shaymin & arceus though they might end up having shiny locks put on them by the time their events come...
