Shiny Starter?

[glow=red]Is there any possibility that the starter pokemon could end up as a shiny?[/glow]

Currently, the scripts yield no chance of a shiny counterpart of the starter-Pokemon selectees to spawn. In order to disicentivize starter-farming, we need to omit external variables, such as this, that would encourage starter-farming for players to create new accounts repeatedly until the luck lands in their favor—at too early of a stage in this.

 

Starter Pokemon are obtainable via other sources later in the games (as huntable spawns, Mystery Egg eventualities, etc.); in those mediums, there will still be a chance of obtaining their shiny counterpart, thereby giving an alternative avenue to obtain them. Due to the aforementioned reasons, however, it would do too much of a disservice to make starter-Pokemon scripts potentially reward Shiny Pokemon, as they are far from an indispensable medium for shiny Pokemon while also doing a disservice in the account-farming it would promote.

So starters will be wild after end game, i look forward to huntin some way later, also yeah i agree, many would just make pointless accounts to get shiny starters, which will just be a waste of space in the server :/

Starters are wild anyway, no endgame about it. Use the pokedex when you see a pokemon and it will tell u where a pokemon can be caught.

Why would someone want to farm starters?

Starters are very rare Pokémon, which means high in value.
