Chaining Every Chainable Shiny in Sinnoh
I started teaching myself how to use the Poké Radar in the original Diamond and Pearl games back when the chaining mechanics were still a bit of a mystery, even among online communities specifically dedicated to shinies. After getting hooked on the process (I find it so meditative and satisfying), I wound up setting some rather arbitrary (and, I thought at the time, nigh impossible) goals for myself:
- chain a shiny of at least one species in every chainable evolutionary line in gen IV, and perhaps eventually
- chain a shiny of every chainable pokémon in gen IV.
It's been fifteen years now, and it's so bizarre to finally say that we're actually closing in on that final milestone.
More writing on my shiny patch fixation and the history of this project to come! But for now, check out my progress below.
