"After 63 hours of game time, here are my thoughts"

HOLY SHIT I CAN FINALLY LEAVE ROUTE 1.I bet you expected an actually well thought out and well written post on why this game is good or is bad or what problems/improvements can be made but NOPE. This post is literally just EXCLUSIVELY for this damn shiny bird that took me 63 HOURS OF RUNNING AROUND ON ROUTE 1 BEFORE I EVEN WENT TO THE GYM.It started off as "sure, I'll just get a shiny team to play this game with! The new shiny chaining method sounds super easy! 33% chance to find a shiny after encountering the pokemon 500 times? They must just be GIVING shinies away now!"But oh no. Oh boy was I wrong. I soon learned after my pokedex maxed out at 999 encounters of Rookidee, that it wasn't a 33% chance at a shiny. It was a 33% chance at getting REROLLS for the CHANCE at it being a shiny.I can't tell you how many Rookidee's my sobble has killed. I lost track but it's probably between 1500 and 2000. The real victim here, is my Sobble. He started at level 7, and has since become a level 32 Drizzile. JUST. FROM KILLING. ROOKIDEE. And now when I start playing the game again, he will have to go in the box just so that the exp share doesn't send him further into an over-leveled state.So yeah, it's been 63 hours since I started playing Pokemon Sword. And now I can actually play the game. :)Here is the little shiny for you all to see. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/34cadzc
