Ruins the excitement of encountering one, in my opinion.

I remember my first shiny encounter was Girafarig in Sapphire and I freakin' ran across the hallway and shoved the GBA onto my brother's face: "SHINYYYY!!" God I miss those days lol

While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."

When Will The Pokemon Company Introduce a New Typing?

The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
