[Ninjinister]

Um... in which game?

[Ecto Jedi]

What's a Machop?

[Peanut]

Saying she caught a "shiny Machop" is just the way kids obsessed with Pokemon tell people their father gave them a black eye.

[Eiko]

I had a shiny Pika once.

[Deathknight]

I have a shiny geodude in Emerald.

I'm afraid to ask, but then what does this mean?
I had a shiny Pika once.

[Mecha Cow]

You haven't had a shiny Pika yet? Don't worry, some people just get theirs a bit later than others.

[Voltron]

I remember when I first got mine. My father told me that I had become unclean, gave me a rag, and sent me into the woods to live amongst the damned until I once again became pure.

[Dr. Doom]

It's a good thing you were able to get internet in your tree-shanty, otherwise we we'd never hear from you again.

[Deathknight]

I'm afraid to ask, but then what does this mean?
Basically, every Pokemon has a shiny version which is basically just another color than the regular version, no stat difference or anything. You have a 1 in 8000 something of encounter one though so it's quite amusing to run into one. So basically, they're just for bragging rights.

I've only had a shiney Poliwag once upon a time. It was pink. I named him "Gaylord" and loled.

[Cipher]

Ah, shiny Pokemon. A 1 in 8,200 chance of finding them, and an even lesser chance that they'll have a usable Nature and STATs. Acting like they're worth something is one of the most obnoxious thing obnoxious people who play Pokemon love to do.

That said, I caught a shiny Bidoof using the Pokeradar a while back, and have trained it into a horrifying monster via a Swords Dance combo with Ninjask. When my golden Bibarel begins kicking ass, hilarity ensues.

And yes, I realize this must seem like gibberish to most people.

[Hannah]

My shiny Machamp is the most important part of my life. :cry:

[Cipher]

My shiny Machamp is the most important part of my life. :cry:As a fellow Pokemon player, I sort of understand how you feel, but the emphasis some fans place on "shiny" Pokemon is slightly ridiculous.

And while green Machops are cool and everyone loves them, they should never be the most important part of anyone's life, but I'll assume you were kidding.

Answer please :(

[Mecha Cow]

Going by all the people mentioning Pokemon, they're probably talking about Halo.

[Jon]

Har-har. Most likely they're wondering of which -version- of Pokemon. :D

[Mecha Cow]

No, I'm pretty sure it's Halo.

[Ninjinister]

You would be correct.

[Cipher]

No, I'm pretty sure it's Halo.Yeah, it looks like the part of my post got deleted where I mentioned how badly I sniped Zapdos. I'm not sure what happened.
