I don't usually share bad stories but this is so terrible I just have to get it off my chest...
A week ago I decided to train a Kangaskhan but this meant going through the woes of the Safari game. (If you have played other Pokemon games you would know how merciless the Safari zone stuff can be...)
It was bad enough that Kangaskhan is a rare pokemon with a low capture rate and has a tendency to run after every little thing (throw a safari ball, it runs, throw bait, it runs, throw mud, it runs etc...) Just a while ago I was taking another shot at trying to catch Kangaskhan but I barely encountered any this time and was wondering if I should give up and train another pokemon. Then lo and behold, a
SHINY Kangaskhan appears! And wouldn't you know it? I was too scared to throw bait or mud since the darn thing would ALWAYS run away in past encounters. So I just threw the safari ball with fingers crossed...
and it runs away...
If a person's heart could literally sink to their feet, I think I just felt that.
