The word 'Nerd' is a compliment.
After playing Pokémon for the past six years and chaining obsessively for the past week or so, I finally got a shiny Pokémon. Even better, it was a shiny Eevee. I still have the chain that got it going; it was at 27 when I found the Eevee.
This still seems fairly surreal to me; this was (excluding the red Gyarados) my first-ever encounter with a shiny Pokémon. I saved about three times after it. After all, I have spent large parts of the past 20 hours in Platinum trying to get a shiny, and I finally did it.
...now to go for an Absol. The most impossible chain existing in the Pokémon games.
