Now you know why you gotta weaken that wild Pokemon before you try to catch it - math is against your success.

Psh, you haven't seen IV training yet.

That's actually not that complicated. Look into how PIDs are generated and such.

RNG Abuse says hi.

Middle school kids can pull that off. Not sure how you think that's complicated. Bring in Taylor Series and Polynomials. pomegranate gets real.

You know what sucks? Most shiny Pokemon are pale looking colors, and most are green. I hate how most shinies look. Is it really that much effort to create some good looking alternate color schemes for each Pokemon? Not like it's too much work or anything.

What the fuck is shiny Garchomp and Persian? Fuck them. Some shinies had thought put into them, and others you can tell they didn't even care and pretty much just assigned a random color pallet swap. Pikachu colored Pichu, really? Basically the whole Pikachu evolutionary line is just a few shades darker than normal. Pikachu with a fucking tan.

[imgspoiler=Only a handful of these look like someone actually put thought into them.]http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs48/f/2009/175/8/b/all_shiny_pokemon_by_chao_monster.png[/imgspoiler]

On the other hand, shiny Umbreon, shiny Tyranitar, and shiny Absol look excellent. Own them all <3

what pisses me off is most of the water types get colored PURPLE. bullshi't. they give Charizard the kick-ass BLACK colored shiny form. Moltres looks like a naked chicken on fire. Glaceon is just whitish-blue/blue in its shiny form. at least Eevee and Umbreon got the awesome shiny palettes (ALBINO KICK ASS! and BLUE F'UCKING MOON respectively). yah know what? Im going to give Garchomp a better shiny palette now. thankfully ive got the sprite for it.

EDIT::
@Dusk
i may fuc'king LOVE absol like no one's business, but i really prefer the normal palette to its shiny. with the normal one it looks all ying-yang styled. with the shiny, its supposed to be a red moon? Cool, yes, but i like that its white-fur looks normal and not light pink with its shiny form.

What pisses me off is that there are no normal animals anywhere.

I think both are cool. Absol looks pretty good in any color. Purple Vaporeon makes me sad.

Garchomp looks ugly in any color.

UGH TAYLOR SERIES. DIEEEEEEEE.

OT: I agree with everyone in that it's not tough math when you really get down to it, but consider two important aspects of this website:

(1): We're all ridiculously smart compared to the "average" human out there. Don't think so? Look at yourself. You're reading and posting in thought-provoking threads instead of playing Farmville, developing yourself physically (lol; sounds bad, but you know what I mean), or fucking other kids your age. Or whatever else it is the "average" person your age does with their life. Of course we're going to look at this math differently, because by the time most people on this forum got to college/will get to college, they had/will have already taken 1-2 semesters of calculus, a subject that is traditionally learned in higher education by the vast majority. There are a plethora of other examples, such as the fact that we debate music theory and almost everything else under the sun in our own Rubik's Cube subforum, so if you think otherwise just take a look around at how vastly different the social content of this site is from "average" life. Mind you, I'm not saying this to make everyone feel elitist, but so that people don't feel so down all the time! I see so many people here pissed off that they didn't accomplish their pinnacle goals without realizing and acknowledging all they've accomplished so far. You're all great! /cheesy

(2) Everyone needs to remember, though, that while being very intellectual and looking at things with microscopic precision, it's important to take a step back now and then and view what we're dissecting from another point of view. In this case, it's important for everyone to take a step back and look at the big picture of the OP and think as if they were any "average" person who has never played Pokemon in their life (again, support for why we're different than most: most everyone here has played and mastered Pokemon to a degree far beyond the norm), who is gazing at this link on their friend's Facebook for 5 seconds before heading out to play soccer or whatnot. A person in this case would most likely take one glance, see huge equations containing a load of crap underneath radicals instead of x^2 or 16, and smile at realizing that Pokemon is "srs business."

Wall-of-text. Ugh. Needs a tl;dr.

tl;dr: We're all much smarter than the average norm, considering we spend our time (if you really look at it) on a seriously intellectual forum discussing ideas and concepts most people would rather ignore to be on Facebook, down at the mall, or in their significant others' pants. So don't sell yourself short! But that said, make sure you don't microscopically dissect everything that comes before you and potentially miss how the material was intended to be received. In this case, we all think this is ez, but to most people glancing at the picture for a couple seconds, it looks like tough shit.

I think both are cool. Absol looks pretty good in any color. Purple Vaporeon makes me sad.

Garchomp looks ugly in any color.

i was just looking at the shiny sprite sheet; Ninetails is awesome, Ho-oh, Raikou, Seviper, Rayquaza, the Beldum family, Solrock/Lunatone, Roselia/Roserade, Bulbasaur, Cherrim, Staraptor, Steelix (gold is awesome for a steel type), Cresselia, Nidoking, and Shiftry are the only ones that i enjoyed and thought were nicely done. and seriously, at least 95% of ALL WATER TYPES are colored purple for their shiny forms. Loudred/Exploud also are only lighter shades of their normal palettes as well.

EDIT::
Above post is full of self-fulfilling prophecy. and id like to state that i got my high school diploma never taking any math higher than algebra.

What pisses me off is that there are no normal animals anywhere.

When you see it...

This is madness. Th's probably a Growlithe painted white.

So the specificity of math was incorrect. But look at your post. You bothered to look at the shiny sprite sheet and adeptly comment on the Pogey designs rather than do anything else you could have been doing at that moment in your life. Go ahead and think I'm self-fulfilling for trying to tell you guys you're smart and special.

Shiny Charizard and Rayquaza, awesome. Shiny Heatran: did anything happen?

Togepi's whole evolutionary line, Glaceon, and Leafeon are likewise incredibly poorly made shinies.
