The first shiny I randomly encountered on my Diamond was a female Bibarel. Truth is, I was trying to chain for a shiny Gastly that day, so I activated my Pokeradar and then walked into a normal patch (it wasn't a shiny patch, trust me) of grass and this is what happened:
*Battle music plays and I notice something odd about the Bibarel's darkened sprite*
Me: *My jaw drops because I realize it's shiny*
*Bibarel locks into position, makes it's cry and a bunch of stars appear*
Me: It's shiny? No! That can't be right, I thought I couldn't tell between a Shiny Bibarel and a normal one... Oh well, I'll just keep it like I would any other shiny.
*Throws Dusk ball and captures Bibarel*
Me: Yes, now I'll put my DS up for the day.
Later that day(about 4 hours later), I somehow fell asleep while I was supposed to be doing my homework, and my Dad decided to be the ass (excuse my language) of the day (he has this title nearly everday) and take my DS while I was in the bathroom :confused::mad::confused::mad:(he didn't know I played it earlier that day), I'll never forgive him for doing a dirty trick like that ever again.:mad::mad::mad:(I bet none of your parents take your DS for stupid reasons such as this, that's to anyone under 17 and living with their parents).
