BeDerpyAsYouCan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Now you might think this is a very stupid idea, but just hear me out aright? Ok so some of us has been playing for like years upon years and never once gotten a shiny no matter how many time you fish, breed, or encounter a pokemon. Why? Cause the chances are too low. So that's why I'm asking you guys to increases the chances of people who have played the game for a long time and doesnt the economy of other people (millions of pokeyens or reward points). I'm just sitting here getting older and still no shiny! Please, if not could at least add in a shiny charm like in pokemon x and y. It would so much nicer to have a shiny, even though shiny just basically means recolored pixels and no stats changes. PLEASE! SirYurop, VenomExareo, Edniss and 2 others 5 Link to comment

BeDerpyAsYouCan Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 get outa here patience xD lol So what you are saying that the more and regular you play, the less chance you have of encountering a,wild shiny? That's freaking bullshit! I demand justice! Link to comment
Gauneta Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The more time you play = the more chances of the system thinking you are a bot = no shiny for you. 2100 hs, 50.000+ encounters, 1 year and a half without a shiny here. Link to comment
linwe Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) So my friend made an alt, and within 4 hours played time, he encounters a shiny Weepinbell. Been here since Feb 2013, and nothing. (Shout out to those who joined before me and with no OT Shiny.) Edited August 30, 2015 by linwe Link to comment
Alphamale Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Played in 2012, 49 hours of game time in caught a shiny koffing... mad? Where are you ot kneegroww koffing?!? The best Weezing on the server still. All these years later.. patienceyeah, SneaKyKhaLidA, Parke and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Arimanius Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 The more time you play = the more chances of the system thinking you are a bot = no shiny for you. This is not true, stop saying false things. Long time ago they explained there wasn't a long time curse system Link to comment
londark Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 This is not true, stop saying false things. Long time ago they explained there wasn't a long time curse system They also never explained how things actually work as far as i know. Let's say i EV train some shit, that's one of the most "Boot like" actions on Pokemmo, so the system will think i'm a boot and lower my shiny encounter rate. Now let's assume the "curse" ends/lowers whatever in 2 days. 2 days later i'm EV training something else...RIP Shiny for me, and EV training is actually a pretty crucial aspect of the game ( sadly )...Maybe it's like this, maybe no. But in the end, why should i be punished for ACTUALLY PLAYING, be it EV training, Paydaying, catching breeders, by lowering my chance of encountering a shiny? Also, "they explained". They also said that the encounter rate was the same as the games. And everyone knows how that ended. Trust someone is cool and all, but don't trust someone who has already played around with you is better Bishav, pokypoku, RysPicz and 6 others 9 Link to comment

BeDerpyAsYouCan Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I talked to Bluejim about this and he had said the reason that more newbies encounter shiny because they have the majority of players. Basically he's saying there are more newbies than us, but really when they are singular, how do still have a better chance than us who played longer than them? Link to comment

bl0nde Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) I'm not sure about all of this speculation. It seems more than likely to be false. However, something that is true is that every time you encounter a wild pokemon a chance is generated for the player to see a shiny. While a new player spends the majority of their time in the wild encounters while playing through the game, we veterans do money runs, duels, etc. and potentially have a much lower number of encounters. Also, bluejim is right. How many old veterans are there that regularly play? Maybe around 60, I don't know. Whatever the number is, there are far more casuals and new players.

Basically he's saying there are more newbies than us, but really when they are singular, how do still have a better chance than us who played longer than them? some people are over 2k / 3k hours and never found any shiny. We can imagine when you are a newbe you need to complete your dex, train your pokemons, catch them and of course run the 2 stories. Those things implies they encounter pretty much more wilds pokemon than you. Myself i encountered 3 OT for ~2800 hours, it hapened allways during longs periods of encountering (EVing comps / Safari Catching / Payday). The time played isn't an indicator of your probability to find a shiny. Edited August 30, 2015 by Viking Arimanius 1 Link to comment
xXKhryon Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) The more you encounter wild pokes the more you get a higher chance to find a shiny. Edit: Also I encountered my first OT shiny while I was ev training. Edited August 30, 2015 by xXKhryon Link to comment
FlareBlitzz Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Encounter more -> Congrats You're a bot -> No Shiny For you EDIT : PageFlareBlitzz ! Edited August 30, 2015 by FlareBlitzz ItzJ0sh8 and Bilburt 2 Link to comment
bl0nde Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I forgot to think about vets doing EV training someone mentioned here. I have changed my mind. I'm not sure if vet encounter rates are close to new players encounter rates or not. Link to comment
