So I finally got a good chain of houndour last night.  After about 30, I was starting to think "Hmm...do these have roar....they probably do, don't they....."  And then I pressed on.  38 rolls around and I find a shiny patch.  Exciting.  3 attacks later and 3 failed capture attempts, roar roar roared away.  Motherfucker shiny breaking my chain and nothing to show for it.

What level were they? If you can somehow get them level 13 or lower, they won't know Roar. They learn it at 14, I think.

Yeah, well I looked on serebii right as I started the battle with the shiny and knew immediately I was boned.  I'm catching them at Valor Lakefront since that's where they're most prevalent, at like lvl28.  But I'm already in the midst of dealing with it.  I just bred a nice little remoraid with thunder wave and supersonic, so now I can have a nice little octillery with suction cups that knows some good status moves since I don't intend to attack with it.  I've done it with vulpix so I know it works well, it's just a pain.

I caught 3 shiny houndour and then accidentally broke my chain by not paying enough attention to what the hell I was doing.  Then I was fuming angry for about 20 minutes, and now I dunno what the hell to even bother with at this point because I've caught so many things that I wanted so I've run out of things I care about enough.

I'm not burned out because I can't think of anything to chain.  I run into that all the time.

Did you name that shiny Houndour "Rowsdower" like I suggested?  If so, I want it.

I caught 3 shiny slowpoke last night before the chain broke itself.  I'd heard a chain could break on a shiny patch but I'd never seen it before, so it was rather surprising more than anything.  So uh, nobody gets one.  I fully intended to catch 10 so I could give a few away but 3 is just a shitty number of them to have.

Read this amazing thread http://www.rarityguide.com/forums/pokemon-center/4676-name-rater-eterna-city-refuses-change-my-duskulls-name-help.html


It's sad that this is what kids argue about nowadays. You can think they are no other problems in the world such as the economy and world hunger, and these kids are arguing about stupid pokemon names. Theyre probably spoiled brats who are used to get anything they want

No I'm 28 actually, and am very worried about our future and the next generations if it will be comprised from kids such as those who are only worried about a pokemon's name and dont care about anything else going around them like the society.

(And yes I did play pokemon myself when I was younger but I knew it was just a game and kept everything in proper context)

I see you are aiming for self-inflicted heart attack as your death of choice.

Yeah, see, that's not how human psychology works. However petty your own problems may be, you can't simply disregard them just because other people elsewhere are suffering much more. Also, "getting anything you want" isn't exactly a sign of moral corruption.
