Okay, so I was digging into this whole “shiny Pokemon seen by Ash” thing, and let me tell you, it’s a bit of a rabbit hole. Here’s how I went about figuring this out, and what I found.
First Steps: Gotta Catch ‘Em All (The Data, That Is)
First, I started by just brainstorming. I tried to remember any shiny Pokemon Ash actually encountered in the anime. My memory’s not perfect, so I knew I needed some backup.
- I hit up some fan wikis. You know, the ones with, like, a million pages on every single Pokemon episode ever.
- I looked for lists of shiny Pokemon appearances in the anime.
Getting Organized
I found a couple of decent lists, but they were kinda messy. So, I did what any sane person would do: I made a spreadsheet! Yeah, I’m that guy.
I started listing out Pokemon, marking down if Ash saw them, and if they were shiny. A simple “yes” or “no” situation.
The Deep Dive
The wikis were helpful, but sometimes I needed more details. So I actually went back and watched some key episodes.
- I’d skip around, looking for those specific shiny Pokemon moments.
- It was kinda fun, revisiting some old episodes!
Putting It All Together
After all that searching and watching, I had my list. It wasn’t super long, to be honest. Shiny Pokemon are rare, even in the anime!
It took an entire afternoon,But I finally get it done!
