Yeah I ' ve played since gen 1 and the only shiny I ' ve caught naturally is the red gyarados that is basically handed to you . I ' ve made a few of them via AR tho , its the one hack I ' ll let myself have cuz its purely cosmetic . Edit should prolly clarify that I do not , and will not , trade a hacked pokemon , even if its only a color change . These are for me , and me only . Its just that there are a few that I love the shiny variant of , but my job and lifestyle does not allow me time to spend hours farming for one . <| sep |> Digimon is definitely worth it . I was able to put 106 hours into it <| sep |> IF Tara deserves a bottle episode , then everyone else does . But they don ' t get bottle episodes , even major characters like Michonne or Maggie or Carl .
