A common term within the Pokemon community who actively searches for shiny Pokemon, rather than just happening by them. Shiny Hunters, myself included, will utilize multiple strategies and methods to maximize their odds of finding a shiny. Most of the time, that "method" involves pressing the same fucking buttons over and over for hours for a Pokemon that gives no advantages. The only special fucking thing about shiny Pokemon is that they're a different color. That's it. Shiny Hunters face scrutiny for doing the same thing for hours, days, weeks, even years at a time for a goddamn Mewtwo to be green instead of purple. Many non Shiny Hunters are confused by the notion of Shiny Hunting, as it seems like a waste of time, and a quick self-analysis would show that they're probably too impatient to get into shiny hunting, anyways. However, most Shiny Hunters came from that group of people, and eventually became so numb to bullshit RNG that they mindlessly turn their game on and off over and over like it's no big deal.
