    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    I did that once; got two shiny Pichus in the Trophy Garden.

    I like the eight-bit ties. And the Crest of Hyrule T-Shirt. And the Save the Princess T-Shirt. And the Pi by numbers blanket. And a lot more that would take up too much space.

    Chaining

    No, it absolutely isn't true. Getting over 40 does not affect your percentage in the least. I'll find the algorithm somewhere... There we go. For Notory, I'll post the algorithm: Shiny percentage=14747-40 times number of Pokémon in your chain (up to 40)...

    It was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

    Webcomics!

    I read xkcd. And sometimes Dinosaur Comics. I've read through the archives of Rock Paper Cynic. And I occasionally read a bit of VGCats or other webcomics that I stumble on.

    Chaining

    The chance is higher than that; about 1/200 (.5%). It sounds lower than it is--it takes lots of resetting, but 35,000 steps from the start of a chain, I had 7 shiny Eevees, so it's not all that bad. It takes a lot of resetting, though; I've reset the Poké Radar over 1,000 times since I started...

    Toast

    Homemade bread, freshly cooked and very lightly toasted, with butter.

    Chaining

    Keep trying, and get lots of repels. I got my first shiny (an Eevee) weeks after I started chaining, and like I've said before, have gotten LOTS since then. As for the repels, well, my Eevee chain that got me 7 shinies took 120 Max Repels or so (30,000 steps). Also, with each and every chain...

    Chaining

    I've chained for over 40 hours. You get good at anything if you do if for forty hours in a couple of weeks.

    That sounds about right.

    Drawing gets better with age?

    Age isn't the sole factor, obviously. But look at a typical drawing from a four-year-old, to a ten-year-old, to an adult, or any other divisions of time, and obviously there is going to be some improvement. People learn better ways to draw even without instruction and practice. Age (and general...

    They sound like something that I wouldn't buy, but are still awesome. Besides, can you imagine the scene? "Hey, want a breath mint?" "Sure, thanks...wait. Why can't I taste anything?"

    This website is awesome. I've been on it before, but now I actually bought something from it. An interactive soundtrack T-Shirt. I'm a sucker for geek novelty products. :D

    How many Shiny Pokemon do you have?

    I got 7 shiny Eevees just barely. Without cheats. So now I have 19 shinies in eight different species, all of them chained by me.

    The chain broke at 47, after I'd gotten all I needed. So I'm happy.

    I lost at the Gyarados one.

    Chaining

    I have a chain of 43 Eevees going. The last three have been shinies. For the first one, I had to reset for over 10,000 steps, but they're coming more easily now. I suppose I got a bit spoiled--"Oh, no; I have to go 10,000 steps to get a shiny! Woe is me!" The chain has been going for almost 24...

    Well, it was probably a slight exaggeration, but that's what it feels like sometimes.

    Chaining

    Yes and yes. In my opinion, chaining was a brilliant thing for the guys at GameFreak to add to the games, because chaining takes forever to do and even longer to get good at, along with being addictive to the same scale as little internet Flash games, which means that people will often spend...
