[DISCUSSION] Running from a shiny

[Absol]

Funny story:

Back in like 2006 I was playing Fire Red and found a shiny rattata (its gold) and I went to my bag to get a Pokeball to catch it because it looked cool; little did I realize I didnt have any pokeballs xD So I ran and came back with pokeballs to catch and I tried to find it for like 3 hours straight.

Yeah, I never found it again xD I didnt really know about shinies back then though, I thought it was just some special Rattata lol
