I will never again try to catch a Shiny Pokemon

[Lucandrake]

I've reset my game about 500 times now (about 6-8 hours) attempting to capture a shiny Giratina. This is pissing me off and I'm beginning to wonder why Nintendo put the odds of a "Shiny Pokemon" appearance at 1/8192. It's supposed to be a kids game, and the struggles for some Pokemon(like training and leveling up a decent battle team) represent that of a MMO.

 

The sad part is, I can't continue the storyline until I've captured my Shiny Giratina (unless I don't want it, but it shall be mine).

 

Edit: I've heard some Soft Reset counts hit over 10K before this dude appears, that means that in a month or so I shall finally be able to advance the plot(that's missing) in Pokemon. Yay -__-.

What a bitch that Nintendo was when they coded something like that. Very low odds, so I reckon some Pokemon fans who do get the shiny bugger will have some bragging rights.
