"Complaining about shinies not being rarer is like complaining that you're not poorer when you find $20 on the ground because its less meaningful to you than it otherwise would be."

#PokemonGO: Sorry I've just seen a lot of complaining lately about, of all things, that shinies on community day are too common. I've even seen people actually happy that Houndour and Snubbull weren't boosted at all so that their shinies would be nearly impossible to find and it just drives me insane. I mean the Houndour/Snubbull "event", if you want to call it that, is clearly a flop that isn't driving player participation at all so it's obvious that shinies at least need to be accompanied by a boosted spawn rate of the Pokemon in question, even if the shiny rate remains a mere 1 in 450 right?And yet there are people who disagree. It baffles me. It's like I said, the equivalent of finding money on the ground and complaining you can't appreciate it more because you already have so much of it.What does anyone get out of making it harder for other people to find things? Does anyone have a reason that isn't toxic or motivated by needing to feel some form of superiority over other players? Do you actually enjoy a lottery more if the odds are stacked against you? I just don't get it. via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2OAe8xD
