My first (and only) shiny was a geodude as well, I named her Goldie.

Mine was named Aethelflad because all of my Pokemon in that game (aside from the Giratina I used as an HM slave, whose name was Pudding,) were named after pirates of all manners, including real, fictional, and software.

Picked up so many friend codes in the trading thread. Can't wait to see what it gets me in the Friend Safari. My god, I am so psyched for this game.

I'm kinda curious now, would a shiny Mega Charizard X go back to the normal Charizard color scheme? I don't know why this matters to me but it does.

Does anyone know what the version differences are? I'm probably going to go with X because Xerneas is way cool, but I don't wanna get lame wild encounters.

To give a serious response to a joke answer, I've been hearing whispers on the wind that the odds for finding a shiny have increased.

That, or a bunch of people are getting extremely lucky.

OP posted:

As usual, some Pokémon are available in one version but not the other. This time around, some mega stones are available in one version but not the other, as well. There are also plot differences; Team Flare has different goals depending on the version you are playing. <To be expanded later, when we know more.>

It's only loading blank pages and error messages, I don't think it being up or not is the problem.

Well there's the Poke Radar back, which is how I got my first shiny back in the day. It was a Cubone and it was awesome.

I hear that you get the starter that is weak to yours after the game's over. Is this true? It influences who I choose significantly. Sorry if this was answered earlier, but a quick Ctrl+F of the first few pages didn't turn up anything.
