Aurum

I never saw a shiny for the longest time. I've been playing Pokemon since 2000, and I didn't see a shiny in any of my games, save for the red Gyarados, until SoulSilver back in 2010. When I was surfing in a lake, I spotted a shiny Poliwag. (It's only a slightly brighter blue, so I definitely needed that shine to help me realize that it was a shiny.) I caught it and felt so happy. Later, when I was going to the hair salon, I decided to bring my SoulSilver game so that I had something to do for when my hair needed to dry. (I'd rather play that then spend another minute reading style magazines. ;P) I encountered a shiny Geodude. Because it was noticeably a different color, even in the shadows before it slides into it's official battle appearance, I at first thought something was wrong, as that was the first time I saw a shiny of a very different color. I was holding back the lady who told me it was time for the next part of my haircut session so that I could catch it. It was a low-leveled Pokemon, so there were no worries about it self-destructing, and I caught it easily. Two shinies within a few months from each other! And not one before or since!

Whoa, I was just about to list six of those! (Samurai Jack, Lain, Noein, Sailor Moon, South Park, and Freakazoid) Also: - Gargoyles - Beetlejuice animated series (The roller coaster one) - Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo - Dexter's Laboratory - Batman: The Animated Series

Guys, guys, there is no such thing as a G2 animated series! My Little Pony Tales occurred at the tail end of G1 (1992). This is a common misconception. Apparently, even the Bronies documentary got that wrong. G2 was very short-lived, and didn't have much outside the toys to its name. Sorry, just a nitpick! I understand that it'd be nice and organized for every generation to have a series. ;P G1: (My Little Pony) - I only watched the specials and the movie. I loved the villains. (My Little Pony Tales) - Didn't watch much. But from what I did see, the series did give the ponies their own personalities. But no awesome villains. G3: - Did not watch. Saw reviews though. Perhaps the reviewers were playing up the bad clips, and none of its redeeming factors, but it doesn't look very enjoyable.

Is it on some kind of hiatus? Recently, the creative president of Nickelodeon came to speak at my college. He confirmed that SpongeBob is likely never going to end, and he meant that genuinely. I did watch SpongeBob a lot when I was younger. But the season following the movie wasn't very good story-wise, so I stopped watching. (The animation is a lot better now, though.) I think a big mistake they made with the series is that they never bothered expanding on the cast. The usual cast of characters is still the same as it has been since season one. Other long-running shows tend to add more characters as the show goes on. However, I am interested in the second movie that is supposed to come out next year. I hope they can do something really good.
