Not a question but a fun fact
Did you know that there is the exact same chance that you will never get a shiny pokemon and every pokemon that can be shiny will be shiny for you.
This annoys me to hell don't know about you

While I did find 3 non-scripted shinies in the original games (2 in the same game file even), in GO it is indeed much easier, like 1 in 500 or so. So far I've caught shiny Pikachu (long before the pika spam event), shiny Shuppet, and just recently shiny Aron. But I'm a collector so I don't really care if something is super rare or not, I just add it.
That's patently false. Unless the chance for getting a shiny (when possible) is exactly 50%. Now, maybe I've been unlucky, but I've caught 18,500 mon, and have 5 shines that I'm aware of. I might have pitched a duskull or sableye by accident, but I'm sure I'm under 20 caught.
Imagine something happens one time in 100. You look at 5 events. Chance of getting the 1% result every time is 1 in 10,000,000,000. Chance of getting the non 1% every time is a hair over 95%. Clearly not equal odds. So check your math before you claim something is a "fun fact", or at least ask someone who can.
And in other news, if someone fires a bullet at your head, the bullet will never actually hit you, because before it can hit you, it has to travel halfway to you, and then halfway again, and then halfway again, ad infinitum. Since the bullet will travel halfway from its current location to your head an infinite number of times, it can never actually make contact.
