I JUST CAUGHT A FREAKING SHINY TANGELA. SHINY. TANGELA. SHINYYYY.
I WAS TRAINING MY DRAGONAIR AT MT SILVER AND JUST LOOKED DOWN ON THE SCREEN FOR A SECOND AND WAS LIKE OMG WHAT POKEMON IS THA---- HOLY EFF IT'S A FREAKING GREEN TANGELA. WTF GREE--- HOLY CRAP IT'S A SHINY.
AND THEN I TOTALLY CAUGHT IT. HOLY CRAP THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO ME. *flailing*
Edit: For those of you who aren't Pokemon geeks like me, here's what this means.
A shiny Pokemon is a differently-colored one. They're considered really rare, in terms of obtainable, because my chances of seeing one, in any game ever, are about 1 in 8192 or 0.01%.
AAAAAHHHH.
